After long delay, Artemis Fowl has a shiny new trailer and a release date

This week a new kid-friendly game show, Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge , made its debut on YouTube. The premise is simple: what if we make something like all those Nickelodeon game shows '80s and '90s kids grew up on but high-budget and Star Wars themed? To which I thought: yes, please!
Decades ago, Nickelodeon owned the kids' game show space. The popularity of Double Dare (1986-1993) begat Guts (1992-1995) and, one year later, my personal favorite, Legends of the Hidden Temple , which has more than a little bit in common with the Jedi Temple Challenge .
The similarities are not accidental. The official Star Wars website itself describes Jedi Temple Challenge as "an homage to the kids' cable game shows that dominated the air waves in the 1990s."

Nearly a year after its originally scheduled release, Artemis Fowl —a Kenneth Branagh-directed film adapted from the popular series by Irish author Eoin Colfer—is finally coming to theaters this spring. And the latest trailer has, thus far, not been well-received by hardcore fans of the book, who are loudly decrying what appears to be a significant departure from the evil boy genius of the novels in favor of a more "Disney-fied" heroic figure.
There are eight books in the Artemis Fowl series , detailing the extensive exploits of the titular character. The debut novel received generally positive reviews and a few comparisons to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, although Colfer's books have never achieved the same stratospheric commercial success. Still, Disney is betting there's an equally strong appetite for the Artemis Fowl series on the big screen.
That said, the comparison irritates Colfer, who describes his novels as being more like " Die Hard with fairies." As I wrote when the first teaser dropped way back in November 2018, "That's a fairly accurate description. Artemis is the anti-Harry Potter. He's a thief and a kidnapper, among other misdeeds, and he is largely untroubled by remorse. That's part of his charm."
