Based on a series of novel by Jon F Merz, the titular undead Fixer comes to life in the first Lawson teaser trailer.
The age of vampires isn’t over yet, at least if you ask filmmakers. The big wigs at Marvel are (hopefully) working hard on a Blade adaptation which hasn’t been smooth sailing exactly, but there’s another eagerly anticipated, bloodsucking adaptation heading our way.

A Seattle judge has dismissed a lawsuit from a little-known advocacy organization that hoped to bar Fox News Channel from transmitting its popular primetime opinion programs to its large cable-news audience.
The Washington state group known as the Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics, or Washlite, filed a suit in Superior Court of Washington State in April, calling for an injunction that would keep Fox News from “publishing further and false and deceptive content” about the coronavirus pandemic. Several Fox News opinion hosts in prior weeks questioned the level of the coronavirus threat, with former Fox Business Network anchor Trish Regan losing her position at the company after hosting a segment with graphics that read “Coronavirus Impeachment Scam” while suggesting liberals were overstating the danger of the contagion.
Washlite argued in its initial filing that Fox News was subject to established protections for consumers against false information and put...

A judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News brought on by the Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics, which asks a state court to bar the network from sharing false information about the pandemic in April.
“Using a false portrayal of Fox News Channel’s commentary, Washlite attempted to silence a national news organization to settle a partisan grievance. This was not only wrong, but contemptuous of the foundation of free speech and we are both pleased the court dismissed this frivolous case and grateful to the First Amendment community that rallied to our side,” said a statement from Fox News Wednesday.
King County Superior Court judge Brian McDonald wrote in the dismissal, obtained by TheWrap, that Washlite’s “assertions do not hold up to scrutiny,” though the group’s “professed goal” to make sure public information on the coronavirus is credible was “laudable.”

A Washington state judge has tossed out a public interest group’s lawsuit against Fox News, claiming that the network violated consumer protection laws via its coronavirus coverage.
The Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics, or Wash Lite, sued the network in early April, claiming that its coverage violated the state’s consumer protection laws by engaging in a “campaign of deception and omission regarding the danger of the international proliferation of the novel coronavirus.” Also named in the lawsuit were parent Fox Corp. and two channel distributors, AT&T and Comcast, as well as Rupert Murdoch.
Judge Brian McDonald wrote that the public interest group’s “professed goal in this lawsuit — to ensure that the public receives accurate information about the coronavirus and Covid-19 — is laudable. However, the means employed here, a [consumer protection] claim against a cable news channel, runs afoul of the protections of the First Amendment.”

CNN and MSNBC compete tooth-and-nail with Fox News Channel every day of the week. But a trade association that counts their parent companies as members wants to help their rival defend itself in an eyebrow-raising court case.
The Internet and Television Association, which represents cable programmers and distributors, has filed a motion to include an amicus brief in a case filed in Washington state by a little-known that in April called for a judge to keep Fox News from airing false information about the coronavirus pandemic. The organization, known as the Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics, or Washlite, is seeking an injunction to keep Fox News from “publishing further and false and deceptive content” about the coronavirus pandemic.
