The legendary John Malkovich has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Multiple trades are reporting that the Con Air and Being John Malkovich star has boarded Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four in an undisclosed role. This news follows the announcement that Paul Walter Houser has also joined the ensemble.
Details on his character are also being kept under wraps, but there's a lot of speculation that he might be playing the villainous Mole Man. As for Malkovich, there are several supporting parts that have yet to be announced, including Galactus (unlikely) and Doctor Franklin Storm.
Both actors join Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning) as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing.

Filmmaker Stefon Bristol’s 2019 debut See You Yesterday (Netflix) demonstrated the filmmaker’s deft ability to blend tones and legibly render a complex time-travel story injected with social consciousness and the Black experience. Bristol and co-screenwriter Felicia Bailey deservedly took home the Film Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay in 2020. Now with his sophomore feature Breathe (distributed by Warner Brothers), the NY-based Spike Lee protege continues his ambitious project of telling Black-cenetered sci-fi stories on an indie film budget.
Beginning with a Black List-approved original screenplay by Doug Simon, Bristol was encouraged by producers to put his own stamp on the material, resulting in the change of setting from post-apocalyptic upstate New York to post-apocalyptic Flatbush. Bristol’s updated vision also attracted the film’s stellar cast, which includes Jennifer Hudson, Milla Jovovich, Qvenzhané Wallis, Sam Worthington, Common and more.

Huggy Wuggy has been called up by Hollywood.
Beating out several competitive offers, Legendary has closed an aggressive deal with Mob Entertainment to develop and produce a live-action feature adaptation of Poppy Playtime, a horror video game featuring the toy-turned-monster.

Like many film executives, Tamara Birkemoe spends much of the Cannes Film Festival sprinting from lunches to drinks to dinners, as she meets with potential distributors, financiers and filmmakers. Most nights, the Palisades Park CEO hosts a cocktail hour at the company’s temporary headquarters directly across from the Palais des Festivals, where Cannes’ biggest premieres are held.
“We are looking to dazzle people,” she says, noting that her office boasts a commanding view of the red carpet. “We want to entertain people in fancy places and impress them with our presentation. This is the entertainment business after all, so you might as well work hard, but have fun while you’re doing it.”
That glamour that Birkemoe and others seek in the south of France continues to be the defining feature of Cannes as it prepares to launch its 77th edition this month. But despite the parties on the sparkling Riviera,...

Pedro Pascal has become a household name thanks to projects like Game of Thrones and The Last of Us. But how much has his net worth increased after becoming one of Hollywood’s top stars?
Pedro Pascal’s current net worth Pedro Pascal | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Pascal is currently worth $10 million. It was a fortune that, on the surface, he seemed to accumulate relatively quickly after his breakthrough Game of Thrones role. But his rise to success was a long and slow process.
He’d already been a presence in Hollywood in the 90s, having done bit parts in small shows like Buffy and The Good Wife. There was a point where Pascal’s good friend Sarah Paulson even paid him personally to keep his acting aspirations alive.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of the Fallout franchise or a new viewer that joined the club after watching Prime Video’s TV show, you’re well-aware that Vault-Tec Vaults were much more than just a way to save human civilization in case of a global nuclear war — they were controlled grounds for experiments on humans.
But while some of those experiments were reasonably tame, others were downright monstrous… And one particular Vault can prove devastating in Fallout Season 2.
Lucy MacLean Loves Herself a Good Vault
One of Fallout’s main characters, Lucy MacLean has been a certified Vault Dweller for her entire life — until the moment she bravely ventured outside to find her father. Like most of her fellow Vault Dwellers, she had no idea about Vault-Tec’s experiments, and in her eyes, Vaults remained safe and picture-perfect places.

The Last of Us is one of the few franchises that has made picking a PlayStation over Microsoft’s Xbox worth it in the last decade. The first installment of the series was released back in 2013, and since then has received a sequel as well as a live-action remake owing to its ever-growing popularity.
A still from The Last of Us: Part 2
The sequel to the game was received well by the audience, as it delivered a well-deserved continuation to the storyline every single fan had been waiting for ever since the first title came out. However, Neil Druckmann, the executive producer of the game, has revealed how the TLoU Part 2 had a much darker ending, which would easily make every player riot as it is what everybody wanted all along.

James Cameron’s Hollywood career has been nothing but outstanding throughout his many decades as a movie director. In the list of the highest-grossing movies of all time, Cameron confidently holds several top spots; he’s famous and celebrated across different genres from romantic drama to sci-fi; and he’s unapologetic when it comes to work, being a perfectionist to the bone.
But even James Cameron has his guilty cinematic pleasures — and he doesn’t shy away from them.
What Is James Cameron’s Guilty Pleasure Movie?
Generally speaking, you’d expect the director of Cameron’s scale to indulge in something huge, dramatic, and classic, but that’s not exactly the case. While talking to Empire in 2020, the Avatar director admitted that his favorite flick is… A “cheesy and formulaic” live-action video game adaptation from 2002, over two decades ago.

Back in 2000, director Ridley Scott took us back to 180 Ad for Gladiator, which told the story of Roman general Maximus Decimus Meridius (played by Russell Crowe), who is favored by Emperor Marcus Aurelius to be his successor because his own son, Commodus, is unfit to rule. Commodus disagrees, so he murders his father, has Maximus arrested, and has Maximus’s wife and son killed. While Commodus establishes himself as the new emperor, Maximus escapes from captivity – only to be captured again, this time by slavers who sell him off to become a gladiator. Soon he’s fighting in front of Commodus in Rome’s Colosseum… and it all builds up to Commodus challenging Maximus to a duel. Gladiator was a major box office success and racked up multiple Academy Award wins, including Best Picture. So there was already talk of a sequel in 2001, but it ended up taking more than...

The gaming community just resurfaced from the Helldivers 2 chaos over the past week, only for Sony to potentially land itself in trouble again. After officially taking back its Psn linking mandate from the game made by Arrowhead Studios, it seems that the company is now pushing for the same requirement on another title. However, it might not be that bad this time around.

Stellar Blade is a title that has been one of the most anticipated titles this year, and despite initially receiving flak from critics and the gaming fraternity for its art style, it was still appreciated for its core elements.
However, after the game’s reveal, many gamers dismissed the title, calling it a Nier Automata clone, and the comparisons haven’t ended even after the game’s release. While in hindsight, the hack-and-slash element and the female protagonist are the two common elements, they are fundamentally different titles.
The Similarities between Stellar Blade and Nier Automata Stellar Blade and Automata have a lot of things in common.
When one loads up the game, the first impression that it receives is based on its graphics. While both games look fantastic, Nier Automata came out in 2016, loosely eight years before Stellar Blade. Hence, the difference in graphical fidelity is noticeable between the two titles.

EW has shared two new official promo stills for Alien: Romulus as part of their summer preview, and one of 'em pays homage to a scene from Aliens.
In James Cameron's follow-up to Ridley Scott's '70s classic, Corporal Hicks (Michael Biehn) shows Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) how to use a pulse rifle before the crew land in some real pretty sh*t with the attacking Xenomorphs, and the moment is recreated here with Archie Renaux's Tyler and Cailee Spaeny's Rain Carradine.
The second image gives us another look at a Xenomorph about to give an unfortunate crew member a very bad day.
While the previous movies focused on blue-collar colleagues, soldiers, and prisoners, director Fede Alvarez explains how Romulus will take a different approach by introducing a group of characters who have become as close as family.

I kid, of course, but there is something still dramatic about this year’s drama categories – even as we (I) wait with bated breath to see which limited series blinks and joins the party in these final days, pre-printed FYC ads be damned. For now, we’re all operating on the idea that “The Crown” is the favorite here, but that feels like it’s operating on more vibes than reality. The final season of the Emmy Award-winning series was certainly better received than its preceding season… but it was a far cry from the sweeping fourth season.

Turtles All The Way Down, adapted from John Green’s best-selling novel, is finally coming to UK TV screens this month.
John Green’s book The Fault In Our Stars and its film adaptation was a huge teen phenomenon and, in all honesty, it broke my heart too at the ripe age of 23. Green’s other books, Paper Towns and Looking For Alaska have also since been adapted for screens big and small.
The latest adaptation is Turtles All The Way Down, which has just premiered on Max in the US. So far, there hasn’t been a UK release date for the film, but we’ve just received some good news in our inbox. The film, directed by Hannah Marks, will be released on Sky Cinema on the 26th May.

Video game adaptations have been all the rage in recent years, following successes like The Last of Us and Fallout. So, it was only a matter of time before Fortnite joined the conversation. Since its release in 2017, this game has consistently been at the top of the list of the most popular games ever played.
Epic Games’ Fortnite
Therefore, a Fortnite movie seems like a natural next step to keep fans happy. However, fans believe that leading such a project in the correct way would require someone like Donald Mustard. Yet, his stepping down from his position and exiting Epic Games complicates the situation further.
Is a Fortnite Movie on the Horizon?
The Fortnite movie discussion has been swirling in the air for quite some time now. It’s become such a hot topic that it’s caught the attention of fans, and rumors have it, even of filmmakers like Zack Snyder and Louis Leterrier.

As The Fantastic Four inches closer to production, the upcoming Marvel Studios reboot continues to round out its cast, and the latest addition is going to be a very busy man over the next couple of years.
After booking roles in Paramount’s Naked Gun reboot and New Line's Chris Farley biopic earlier this week, THR reports that Paul Walter Hauser has also signed on for a part in The Fantastic Four.
Details on his character are being kept under wraps, but there's already speculation that he might be playing the villainous Mole Man.
Hauser joins Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning) as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing.

If there was a list of the most violent games ever, Mortal Kombat and the Grand Theft Auto franchise would surely be on it. Which other games would make it to the list? When it comes to violence in video games, we have a long list.
So, it is unsurprising that one of the first things people look for in games is combat mechanics. How smooth is it? How responsive are the combat controls? These are the questions that keep getting asked in community forums. But what of the amount of violence? Can violence even be quantified?

Sony and PlayStation Studios have made several remakes in recent years, including titles like The Last of Us Part 1. This is becoming a trend, and apparently there is another one incoming. Horizon Zero Dawn will leave Ps Plus extra this month.
The only reason Sony is making this move is that they are preparing a new version of Horizon Zero Dawn, a remake. When this was revealed on social media, many fans quickly realized that this could be a possibility and were not very happy with this particular news. The Horizon Zero Dawn remake is not necessary; there are other titles that may require it.

The Last of Us: Part 2 is seen by many as one of the most prominent games of the last generation. The reason for that is simple enough: most gamers loved this game’s writing. They loved the story, and they empathized with most of its characters. There were a bunch of naysayers too, but every game has its critics.
Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann put a lot of work into this sequel. Not just its story, but its dialogue, its music, and its motion capture—every element of this game screamed perfection. Besides being a perfect example of an excellent action survival horror game, The Last of Us: Part 2 was also full of numerous references. But one of them hit harder than others, and there was a huge reason why the developers included it in the game.

The Fallout series has been a huge success and proves once again how live-action adaptations of video games are not a bad idea after all. Following in the footsteps of Halo and The Last of Us, the TV show has become one of the best-performing releases on its respective platforms, and the showrunners have teased how the fun has just begun.
The Fallout TV Series has proven to be a huge success
While the series is getting praised for its excellent world-building and the great understanding of its source material, it is still missing a lot of elements, including Deathclaws, something which co-showrunner Graham Wagner has revealed the studio is looking forward to adding soon in the coming seasons.

Exclusive: Hundreds more layoffs are incoming at Dune and Oppenheimer VFX firm Dneg.
Deadline is told that the outfit has kicked off a consultation process in at least the UK and Canada, which could see an exodus of around 5% of Dneg’s circa-10,000-strong global workforce. Dneg had not responded to comment requests by press time.
Layoffs are understood to be somewhat concentrated within R&d teams and are a response to the challenged market, which has not eased up since the Hollywood strikes ended and has not improved sufficiently after Dneg brought in a pay offer for staff last year.
In the UK, where sources say the number of layoffs is predicted to be around 100, Bectu boss Philippa Childs said the union is “continuing to do everything we can to support our members who are affected by these redundancies.”
“We know this will be a very worrying time for anyone working at Dneg,...

Last August, developers Fallen Leaf and Black Drakkar Games teamed up with publisher Dear Villagers to bring the world a sci-fi horror video game called Fort Solis, which was directed by James Tinsdale and featured performances from Roger Clark (Red Dead Redemption 2), Julia Brown (World on Fire) and Troy Baker (The Last of Us). Now Fallen Leaf and Black Drakkar have signed a deal with Studios Extraordinaires to develop film and TV adaptations, with the directing duo of André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson set to take the helm of the Fort Solis movie!
Hedetoft told IGN they were drawn to the material because “You get a super cinematic immersive experience when you play it, you have amazing characters and actors that brought them to life in the game, and you have some really creative people behind it, and I think that’s exactly the kind of dream project to do.

This comes after years of inaccurate and shoddy live-actions that have left a stain on the industry, and for viewers and gamers alike.

And while Ubisoft has broken our hearts with a terrible Assassin’s Creed adaptation, there is one more game that is now thought to be long dead.

Amazon’s Prime Video is cooking after the launch of Fallout, a comedic sci-fi series based on the best-selling Bethesda video game series. After the monumental success of HBO’s The Last of Us, audiences wondered when the subsequent must-see video game adaptation would arrive. According to Prime Video’s numbers, Fallout is the cat’s pajamas, with 65 million viewers in its first 16 days of release. If these mind-blowing numbers are correct, Fallout is the streamer’s second most-watched title after The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
While Prime Video crows about Fallout’s much-deserved popularity, they say it’s the most-watched show ever among adults 18-34, with 60% of the show’s audience coming from overseas. According to the numbers, UK, France, and Brazil audiences love the post-apocalyptic drama, making Fallout an international sensation. Fallout is also a critical darling with a 94% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
