Apparently Steven Spielberg intends to bring back (reboot?) Indiana Jones. His ideal candidate to take up the mantle? Guardians of the Galaxy‘s own Chris Pratt.

It’s a given that more and more people are opting out of cable channels in favor of streaming services. HBO has HBO Go, but that’s only for cable subscribers.

HBO plans on offering an online-only streaming service.
