Right now, Far Cry is currently one of Ubisoft’s longest-running franchises and is still getting new games every couple of years. Ubisoft tries to rediscover it; they try to give gamers a world that is worth exploring and characters worth interacting with. This legacy of having interesting characters, specifically an interesting villain, came from Far Cry 2.
Back then, it was the pinnacle of what was possible if developers invested time in some exciting new technologies. Dunia Engine was a one-of-a-kind game engine; Jackal was a one-of-a-kind villain; and that game’s world was unlike anything players had explored before. But its director explains that the inspiration for that came from a very unexpected place.

Richard Donner’s The Omen begins June 6, at 6 am in Rome, with the birth of the Antichrist and his adoption into an affluent American family. Damien Thorn’s birth and subsequent reign of terror, preordained by franchise canon, make approaching a prequel to a heralded horror classic a daunting task. Director Arkasha Stevenson makes it look effortless with The First Omen, a masterclass in form matched by its compelling horror and characters.
The First Omen, set in 1971, follows American novitiate Margaret Daino (“Servant” star Nell Tiger Free) as she’s sent to Rome to work in an orphanage before she takes the veil. As Margaret adapts to not just her new vocation but an entirely new country and a city in the throes of unrest, she finds herself drawn to socially withdrawn orphan Carlita (Nicole Sorace). It’s through her bond with and concern for Carlita that Margaret notices something amiss within the convent.

When we last saw billionaire Molly Wells, she publicly announced her plan to give away all of her Loot before unfortunately hopping back in bed with her obnoxious ex John. If you were hoping she’d ditch that sleazeball before Season 2 began, consider your wish granted!
John does call Molly in the premiere episode, but she tells him that what happened in Corsica was a mistake. He thinks they’re meant for each other, but she’s absolutely repulsed by the man and his money (and the entire garden of flowers he sends to her office). Despite their frosty chat,...

When Ubisoft launched Far Cry 3 back in 2012, they showed a bunch of things about that game. Its visuals were incredible, its combat mechanics looked fun, and it even had stealth. But one thing that stood out the most was none other than Vaas Montenegro. This character was given life by the incredible Michael Mando, and he played it in such a manner that it lives in the minds of many people to this day.
From that moment on, charismatic villains became a thing for this series of games. They would connect to the protagonist in some way, and then they would wreak havoc on each other’s lives until the game ended. But after several games, this idea has become stale, yet it looks like Far Cry 7 will repeat this same idea once again.

Walker is one of the few shows on The CW from an earlier regime, back when the network catered to younger audiences.
Of course, the series skews older than The CW’s typical series, which probably explains why it survived when the network’s younger-skewing fare like Charmed, Dynasty, Legacies, and Nancy Drew all got the pink slip.
Walker, a reboot of the successful Walker, Texas Ranger, has managed to break through as a reboot because it has brought plenty of contemporary storylines to a format that worked well not so long ago.
As we delve into Walker Season 4, the series is at a tipping point because it will be judged more harshly than some other offerings, such as Wild Cards, which has performed admirably as a co-production.
Plenty of details have emerged about Walker Season 4, but we don’t want you to do all the digging for intel.

2024 marks 20 years since Ubisoft’s Far Cry series entered the fray. The franchise’s memorable antagonists were one of the key ingredients to its success. Each game boasts a unique villain, from Far Cry 4‘s ruthlessly charming Pagan Min to the fanatical Seed family of Far Cry 5. Ubisoft has consistently delivered captivating villains in its Far Cry games, but how have they fared over the years? And with two new Far Cry projects on the horizon, which prior villain should they strive to surpass? We take a look back at every Far Cry antagonist, and see who comes out on top.

Sky U.K., part of Comcast-owned European media and technology giant Sky, touted its programming slate for the year at its annual “Up Next” event at Protein Studios in Shoreditch, London on Thursday evening, with Cécile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of Sky Studios and chief content officer, lauding a “fantastic lineup for 2024.”
Sky has continued to double down on original content under Comcast’s ownership. “2024 is a year where you really see the results of the investments,” Frot-Coutaz said, touting “the level of ambition.” “It’s really now paying off, and that’s the case across all genres.”
She mentioned such upcoming shows as Mary & George, starring Julianne Moore, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, starring Harvey Keitel, and The Day of the Jackal, starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch, as well as the upcoming film Lee, which tells the story of Lee Miller, a former-model-turned-war-photographer. Kate Winslet stars in it and also serves as a producer.

Those who were reading Marvel Comics in the 1990s likely recall the Spider-Man Clone Saga with embarrassment. From 1994 all the way through 1996, Spider-Man was embroiled in an extensive plot involving a villain named the Jackal and a villainous scheme to flood the world with Spider-Man duplicates. The story involved a Peter Parker clone named Kaine, the death of Aunt May (!), and the discovery that one of Peter's clones had been alive, living as a drifter, since the 1970s.
The Clone Saga technically began in the 1970s. The Jackal, it turns out, was an ex-teacher of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy who was creepily in love with the latter. When Gwen died, he used his skills in cloning to bring her back from the dead. He also cloned Peter, just for fun I guess. In making the clone, though, the Jackal learned that Peter was Spider-Man, and immediately sought revenge on the original Spider-Man,...

Lashana Lynch is set for a starring role in the Sky and Peacock series adaptation of “The Day of the Jackal,” Variety has learned exclusively.
Lynch will join Eddie Redmayne in the series, which is based on the Frederick Forsyth novel of the same name that was subsequently adapted into the hit 1973 film from Universal Pictures. The series hails from Universal International Studios and Carnival Films, which is part of Uis.
Per the official logline, the series “is a bold, modern reimagining of the beloved and respected novel and film. This contemporary drama will stay true to the DNA of the original story while delving deeper into the chameleon like ‘anti-hero’ at the heart of the story in a high octane, cinematic, globetrotting ‘cat and mouse’ thriller, set amidst the turbulent geo-political landscape of our time.”

Just when you thought Turnstile couldn’t get any more, well, Turnstile, they’ve popped up in the newly released Season 3 of I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson with their new track, “Listening.” Stream it below.
Despite being attributed to the fictional band The Everything-You-Knows in the show credits, it’s undeniably Turnstile — though the track veers off their usual sonic path onto one more pop-punk. Brendan Yates’ vocals cooly coo over pogo-worthy instrumentation in the catchiest of ways, befitting of the school setting energy of the “Children’s Choir” sketch.
As Stereogum points out, the appearance doesn’t come out of nowhere. Robinson previously posted an Instagram Story of him attending a Turnstile concert, and they’ve been spotted in multiple photos together. Check out a few of those below.

The makers of upcoming animated sequel "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" understand the myriad Spider-Men that have appeared in the character's history, and out of the 240 character models created for the film, many are Spider-People. With each new trailer, Spider-Fans have been keeping their eyes peeled, looking for the parallel Spider-Man they like best.
Most Spider-Fans will likely shake their heads in dismay, however, when you bring up the infamous Clone Saga. In mid-1990s Spider-Man comics, it was revealed that a supervillain called the Jackal had cloned Spider-Man in an effort to, I dunno, sow discord. One of the clones, going by the name Ben Reilly, continued to fight crime as a hero called the Scarlet Spider, a fellow who sported a ripped hoodie.
Natch: It would eventually be revealed that there was a mix-up, and Ben Reilly was actually the original Peter Parker. For a spell, Ben Reilly was the "main" Spider-Man.

After giving everyone a case of the chills because of his performance as Charlie Cullen in The Good Nurse, Eddie Redmayne is ready to kill again. Redmayne will star in The Day of the Jackal series, a new project destined for Peacock and Sky. The concept is a reimagining of the 1973 film adaptation from Universal Pictures. In The Day of the Jackal, Redmayne plays the Jackal, a professional assassin hired by a French paramilitary dissident to kill French President Charles de Gaulle in 1962.
Inspired by Frederick Forsyth’s novel of the same name (and Universal’s film adaptation), the new version brings the character and story to a contemporary setting, letting our corrupt geo-political landscape loose in a world of deception, lies, cover-ups, and death. In addition to telling an intriguing tale of careful murder, The Day of the Jackal series will meditate on the concept of an anti-hero.

The 1970s were a special time in American cinema. After the box office woes of the 1960s, bewildered studio executives were unsure of how to connect with audiences, whose tastes and impulses were shifting in the hectic milieu of that decade. The change began at the tail end of the previous decade with "The Graduate," "Bonnie and Clyde," and "Midnight Cowboy," all of which pushed boundaries regarding sex, sexuality, and violence. It was Dennis Hopper's "Easy Rider" that would set the mold of "New Hollywood," a period in which studios afforded even the most difficult directors unprecedented creative freedom.
From the summer of 1969 until some time in the early 1980s (the exact timeframe is disputed), "New Hollywood" birthed scores of classics from a generation of new talent, the most famous of which included William Friedkin, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg, to name just a few.

After acquiring the streaming rights to the recent "Halloween" movies, the ongoing "Chucky" franchise, and even a "Friday the 13th" prequel series (yes, which means you can start placing your bets on when exactly we'll receive a crossover extravaganza), Peacock continues to make some pretty significant moves.
Variety reports that UK broadcaster Sky Studios and the Peacock streaming service have joined forces to create a series based on the 1971 political thriller novel "The Day of the Jackal," written by author Frederick Forsyth, and its classic 1973 big-screen adaptation of the same name, directed by Fred Zinnemann. Set in 1963 during the pivotal moment in history when French president Charles de Gaulle granted neighboring Algeria its independence, the fictional story follows a ruthless assassin who goes by the codename of "Jackal" who is recruited by the far-right Organisation de L'Armée Secrète (Oas) to take out de Gaulle in retaliation.
