| BBC Worldwide Content Coming To Hulu Plus
It’s been a busy year over at online streaming service Hulu. After deciding to call off the sale of the online streaming service this past July (for which bidders like Yahoo, Time Warner Cable, and DirecTV were prepared to pay $1 billion), the three owners (21st Century Fox, Disney, and the now silent partner NBCUniversal [Comcast]) decided to double down on the long term future of the streaming service by spending $750 million on streaming content and personnel, to keep up with the likes of rival Netflix.

| Watch Now: New Trailer and Release Date For ‘Mortal Kombat: Legacy’ Season 2
Back in 2010 we saw a great live-action short titled Mortal Kombat: Rebirth that was made by Kevin Tancharoen in hopes of selling Warner Brothers on the idea of a new Mortal Kombat movie. The movie sadly hasn’t arrived yet, but from that short a very popular web series called Mortal Kombat: Legacy was born. Now, two years after season one of the web series was released, a second season titled Mortal Kombat: Legacy II is near.

At this point we should just start throwing darts at names and just say the person is attached to Star Wars: Episode VII. Despite the many casting rumors so far, not one of them have panned out, but that also doesn’t mean they are completely false. Many actors are considered for roles before one is officially chosen.

The site is also reporting that one of the previously rumored names to be attached to Episode VII, has reemerged, despite repeated denials. More on that later.
