Star Wars: What the Boba Fett Disney+ Series Could Be About

Boba Fett has long been one of the most iconic and controversial characters in Star Wars. Thanks to a killer character design that launched a thousand cosplays, Boba Fett has long outlived the importance of his role–and unceremonious apparent death–in the Original Trilogy. But as most Star Wars fans know, those films are rarely the be all and end all of a Star Wars character’s story. The Legends continuity of Expanded Universe books and comics spent a lot of time exploring Boba Fett’s later adventures after Return of the Jedi, and while those stories are no longer canon, it’s clear…

Why The Golden Age Of Stephen King Adaptations Could End

Almost since he became a best-selling author, Stephen King has seen his work adapted for the movies and television. Just two years after his first novel, 1974’s Carrie, was published, a film version directed by Brian De Palma was a massive hit, earning Oscar nominations for stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. The floodgates opened after that, with a TV miniseries based on his second novel, ‘Salem’s Lot (1979), Stanley Kubrick’s high-profile film of The Shining (1980), Creepshow (1982), Cujo (1983), The Dead Zone (1983), Christine (1983), Children of the Corn (1984), Firestarter (1984), Silver Bullet (1985), and many more…

Demon’s Souls Help Videos Could Be the Great “Easy Mode” Compromise

In an interview with The Washington Post, Gavin Moore, creative director of the Demon’s Souls PS5 remake, revealed that the game features over 180 help videos that can be easily accessed via the PlayStation 5’s impressive UI system. That’s a number that stands a testament to the potential of the PS5’s Game Help system, even as we wait to see whether or not more developers will ultimately choose to utilize that system over the long term. It’s also a number that could very well offer a somewhat unlikely solution to the debate over implementing an “Easy Mode” into Soulslike games.…

Dog Soldiers 2 Could Still Happen, New Details Revealed

Dog Soldiers is one of the most beloved werewolf movies of all time, and perhaps the only truly classic example of that particular horror subgenre produced this century. But despite a cult following, some subtle worldbuilding, and a raucous ending (punctuated by a fun detail revealed as the credits roll), 18 years later, there’s still no sign of a sequel. But that might be about to change. Neil Marshall and Kevin McKidd have had conversations about bringing Dog Soldiers 2 to life, and Sean Pertwee has revealed details about what the other two films in the a proposed Dog Soldiers…

Star Wars: Could Liam Neeson Cameo as Qui-Gon Jinn in the Obi-Wan Series?

Liam Neeson’s Qui-Gon Jinn was one of the most visible faces during the buildup to 1999 Star Wars Prequel Trilogy launcher The Phantom Menace, contemporaneously plastered—like the notorious Jar Jar Binks—across all forms of ephemera, knickknacks, toys, and even Pepsi cans. Yet, despite the character’s key role in a spiritual concept crucial to the Prequel storyline, his presence in the mythology all but vanished after Episode I. However, the upcoming Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series could remedy that—emphasis for now on “could.” Of course, Qui-Gon was killed at the end of The Phantom Menace, but the idea of Neeson’s onscreen return…

Future Bethesda Games Like Elder Scrolls 6 Could Still Release on PS5 on a “Case-by-case Basis”

The news that Xbox had purchased ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda, and all of its properties shook the games industry this morning and seemed to completely change the next-gen landscape. The $7.5 billion purchase has not only increased the number of studios under Xbox’s banner to 23 but also given Microsoft ownership over some of the biggest game franchises ever created.  The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, and the upcoming Starfield — they all belong to Xbox now. With the approaching release of the Xbox Series X and Series S and the start of another next-gen console war with Sony, the…

Xbox Series S Price Could Make it the Cheapest Next-Gen Console

After months of leaks and speculation, Microsoft has finally confirmed the existence of the Xbox Series S. The most noteworthy feature of the upcoming console may just be its price. At just $299, the Xbox Series S not only has the honor of being the first next-gen console with a confirmed price point, but it will likely end up being the most affordable next-gen console by at least $50-$100 (based on current estimates). What do you get for that price? While Microsoft has not yet revealed the console’s specs at the time of this writing, a convincing (and seemingly reliable)…

It seems that Marvel’s Avengers’ microtransaction system will revolve around credits. When the game launches, you’ll have the privilege of being able to choose between four different kinds of credit packs: 500 Credits for $52,000 Credits (with 200 credits bonus) for $205,000 Credits (with 1,000 credits bonus) for $5010,000 Credits (with 3,000 credits bonus) for $100 So how valuable are credits?

Could Joker Show up in The Batman Movie?

Matt Reeves’ The Batman trailer does a lot of work introducing not one, not two, but three major Gotham City villains for the Dark Knight to face off with in the film. We get a look at Paul Dano’s creepy, serial killer interpretation of the Riddler, Zoe Kravitz’s understated Selina “Catwoman” Kyle, and an unrecognizable Colin Farrell as Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, one who isn’t yet the crime boss of Gotham City, and who hates being called the Penguin. That’s three of Batman’s biggest villains…but it isn’t the biggest one. Conspicuously absent from The Batman is the Joker, not only the…

Could WWE SummerSlam 2020 Happen Outdoors?

WWE formally announced last week that it had canceled the SummerSlam live event scheduled to take place in Boston on Aug. 23 and stream live on WWE Network. The show itself isn’t canceled, but Boston mayor Marty Walsh made it clear that events with crowds would not be permitted in his city (smart move) due to COVID-19 so WWE was forced to change course. However, one key element missing in WWE’s announcement was a new venue for SummerSlam. Most figured WWE would announce that the show would be taking place at the WWE Performance Center in Florida, where the company…

The Universal AMC Deal Could Change Moviegoing

How quickly corporate adversaries become fast friends. That is at least the outward appearance Universal Pictures and AMC Theatres wished to project in the announcement of their historic agreement to reduce the theatrical window of Universal releases to as little as 17 days. Under the arrangement revealed Tuesday, films distributed by Universal and Focus Features will play at AMC locations for a 17-day exclusive window, at which point Universal has the option to immediately make such titles available for premium video-on-demand (PVOD), including on AMC Theatres on Demand. However, Universal could just as easily keep films in theaters, including AMC’s,…

What The Walking Dead Season 10 Extra Episodes Could Be About

The Walking Dead had a lot of scheduling matters to attend to during its appearance at this year’s Comic-Con@Home. The franchise needed to announce release dates for The Walking Dead season 10 finale (DONE), Fear the Walking Dead season 6 (DONE), The Walking Dead: World Beyond (DONE), to go along with some clarification as to what will happen with The Walking Dead season 11 (DONE).
