Space Jam: A New Legacy launch includes a 91,000 item NFT tie-in – The Verge

On the same day we learned that Fortnite is adding a LeBron James skin to its metaverse, the PR machine for Space Jam: A New Legacy cranked out a different batch of digital collectibles. However, instead of directing viewers to a gloriously aging 90s-era website, they had to use NFTs. Launching July 16th on HBO Max, Space Jam: A New Legacy follows Michael Jordan’s 1996 movie by transporting LeBron James into a digital world full of cartoons and other Warner Bros. properties, so the marketing fit makes more sense than it might appear. The difference here is that instead of merely slipping toys into fast food kids’ meals or tossing out limited edition physical cards, there’s a hope that interest in the family-friendly flick will spur the collection of non-fungible tokens.

Disney alum Kyle Massey hit with arrest warrant after missing court in immoral communication with minor case – Fox News

Kyle Massey, a former child star on the Disney Channel, has had a warrant issued for his arrest in Washington State after the 29-year-old failed to appear for an arraignment stemming from a charge of "immoral" communication with a minor, Fox News confirmed on Monday. The "That’s So Raven" actor skipped a court date in King County where he was to face a judge in a Seattle courthouse on the felony count and enter in a plea – but was absent in the matter so the judge signed off on a $100,000 warrant for his arrest, state prosecutors said.  Massey had missed his initial court date on June 28 and the court pushed the hearing to Monday. Massey’s lawyer, Lee Hutton, told TMZ that Massey’s legal team has made several phone calls to the King County District Attorney’s office but claims they ha...

Obamas Readying Film and TV Event ‘Blackout’ for Netflix – Hollywood Reporter

The Obamas’ Higher Ground and Fatherhood producers Temple Hill are re-teaming for a new project at Netflix. The companies are developing Blackout, a film and TV “event” that is being adapted from six different love stories, each penned by a different writer. The project, Netflix notes, is being developed concurrently as a TV series and film adaptation. That means that some of the six stories could wind up in the film, while others are in the TV show. Sources caution that while this seems like a franchise in the making, it’s not a “multiverse” that will consist of multiple films and TV shows — at least not right now. Blackout takes place in New York during a power outage on a hot summer night. It is told from the perspective of 12 teens with six shots of love. ...
