Looks like film director J.J. Abrams has officially just landed in both the Instagram and Twitter galaxies!

In honor of starting the first day of shooting the upcoming untitled Star Wars: Episode IX, J.J. Abrams, who is directing the ninth Star Wars film installment and previously directed Star Wars: The Force Awakens, decided to become both Instagram and Twitter official.

What made Abrams' social media debut even more special is that he decided to open up his first social media post shared both on his Instagram and Twitter accounts by remembering Carrie Fisher, who played the iconic Princess Leia in the Star Wars universe but sadly passed away last year on December 23. Abrams noted that it will be "Bittersweet starting this next chapter without Carrie", similarly like Mark Hamill had expressed so just four days ago.





While the Star Wars film director felt bittersweet about starting the upcoming ninth Star Wars film without Fisher, Abrams also expressed gratefulness to "an extraordinary cast and crew," saying they are "ready to go" and start the first day of production.

Abrams' appreciation extended to film director Rian Johnson, who directed the previous Star Wars film The Last Jedi, and Star Wars creator and filmmaker George Lucas, saying he was "Grateful for @rianjohnson and [a] special thanks to George Lucas for creating this incredible world and beginning a story of which we are lucky to be a part."

J.J. Abrams closed his message by sharing the first set photo from the untitled Star Wars: Episode IX film, allowing Star Wars fans like myself to fangirl and get immersed in the Star Wars world with every little details we can get.


While not much can be gathered from the first released set photo of Star Wars: Episode IX, actor John Boyega, who plays Finn, appears to be having a great time - and that's everything we need to know!

Welcome to Instagram and Twitter, J.J, you're going to love the cat GIFs!

Sincerely, Dora Goto

It's Not All Bad News for "Futurama" Fans, Thanks To Show's So-Developer David X. Cohen

JamCity If you are a big fan of Futurama like myself and were saddened by the news that Netflix was removing episodes from the cult-classic futuristic cartoon, then the show's co-developer David X. Cohen has come to the rescue! Recently it's been seen on Netlflix that various seasons of Futurama have been removed (only seasons 6 and 7 remain, which are divided into 2 parts and listed on Netflix as seasons 7 to 10), and naturally Futurama fans took to social media to express their discontent...most utilizing the show's own memes to do so. Before we go any further, I need to get this out of my system: ...There.  (I didn't mean for all the Futurama memes to be just of Professor Farnsworth, it just happened.)  But it's not all "bad news, everyone!" (Get it?!? Okay, I'll get back to the topic...) During a recent  Reddit AMA , the show's creator Matt Groening and head writer David X. Cohen, along with principal voice actor...

Having Breakfast at Tiffany's is NOW OFFICIALLY a Reality

Paramount Pictures If you're a big Aubrey Hepburn fan or simply a fan of good films from the 1960's like Breakfast at Tiffany's , then you'll probably be giddy as I to find out that an actual café store has opened at the fourth floor of the iconic Tiffany & Co. store located in Fifth Avenue in New York City. The café store is called Blue Box Café (rambling a little bit here so you have time to write it down, okay that's enough), officially opened its doors today, and according to a  review by Vogue  of the café's opening, it offers a $29 breakfast menu option that includes coffee and croissant with the "choice of an avocado toast, truffled eggs, or a smoked salmon bagel with schmear." But Blue Box Café will not only offer breakfast options (* very delicious breakfast options ), as  the  Vogue  review  noted that the cafe also offers lunch options at $39 (which include a starter and main course), including the "Charles Lewis Tiffany"...

Four Days After "The Addams Family" Hit Theaters, A Sequel Has Already Been Confirmed

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Hear that? It's the sound of my mind being blown...or that of me snapping along to the Addams Family theme song. Following the commercial success of this year's animated re-imagining of one of our favorite unconventional families,  The Addams Family , which was released on theaters October 11, Deadline  exclusively confirmed on Tuesday that an animated kooky and spooky sequel is already in the works. In just its opening weekend, The Addams Family has earned $30.3 million from its theatrical releases in the United States and Canada (a little bit more than three-quarters of its $40 million budget), surpassing box office predictions and showing that millions of moviegoers are still interested in catching up with what Gomez Addams and his family are doing once again. In doing so,  The Addams Family also became the second highest grossing film in the domestic box office this weekend, following Joker which earned $55.9 million. While it...
