Birds of Prey Coming to Digital Next Week

Warner is going to release Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) on iTunes, Amazon, and similar platforms on March 24. While no date was previously announced, this is earlier than expected, as most movies typically take 2-3 months to get released on legal streaming platforms. The decision is almost certainly due to numerous theaters closing in response to the coronavirus pandemic. There is currently no word on when the movie will be released on physical media.

iTunes Leaks Doctor Who Premiere Date

iTunes briefly posted (before removing) an October 7 release date for Doctor Who series 11 this morning. This could be an honest mistake or someone may have posted the information earlier than they were supposed to. It's worth noting that the same thing happened six years ago with season 7 and that turned out to be correct. As of writing, the official release date is still "fall 2018."

Rogue One Prequel Novel Synopsis

Del Rey has released the synopsis for the prequel to Rogue One, a book called Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel. The book is available for pre-order here and here. It will be released in the US on November 15.

War is tearing the galaxy apart. For years the Republic and the Separatists have battled across the stars, each building more and more deadly technology in an attempt to win the war. As a member of Chancellor Palpatine’s top secret Death Star project, Orson Krennic is determined to develop a superweapon before their enemies can. And an old friend of Krennic’s, the brilliant scientist Galen Erso, could be the key.

Galen’s energy-focused research has captured the attention of both Krennic and his foes, making the scientist a crucial pawn in the galactic conflict. But after Krennic rescues Galen, his wife, Lyra, and their young daughter, Jyn, from Separatist kidnappers, the Erso family is deeply in Krennic’s debt. Krennic then offers Galen an extraordinary opportunity: to continue his scientific studies with every resource put utterly at his disposal. While Galen and Lyra believe that his energy research will be used purely in altruistic ways, Krennic has other plans that will finally make the Death Star a reality. Trapped in their benefactor’s tightening grasp, the Ersos must untangle Krennic’s web of deception to save themselves and the galaxy itself.
