‘The New Mutants’ movie is moving ahead at Fox

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

Fox is moving forward with The New Mutants, an X-Men spinoff focused on a completely separate group of mutants in the Marvel universe. They are essentially the younger students at Professor X’s school for the gifted. We’ve actually seen one of the new mutants, Sunspot, in Days of Future Past, so perhaps the film will center on that core group, which also included Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Karma and Mirage.

Deadline reports Josh Boone (The Fault In Our Stars) is being lined up to co-write and direct. Although Boone doesn’t have many films to his name, he already proved he can handle big projects aimed at more youthful audiences. Depending on which group of mutants Fox decides to go with, there’s potential for a lot of new characters to be introduced.

Next up for the X-Men franchise is X-Men: Apocalypse, while Fox also has Deadpool in the pipeline. Additionally, there’s a Gambit movie being planned, while Hugh Jackman already confirmed he’ll play the role of Wolverine in a third film.

It’s unclear where The New Mutants will fit in the studio’s road map, but with Boone already confirmed for other projects, it’ll be a few years at least before we see the new cast of mutants on the big screen.

There are several other mutants involved in The New Mutants group, it just depends on which volume you’re looking at. Other characters include Blink, Magma, Magik, Sprite and Warpath.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
