A Quiet Place Could Have Been a Cloverfield Movie

A Quiet Place could have been part of the Cloverfield franchise, according to the film’s screenwriters Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.

In an interview with /Film, Beck and Woods revealed there was talk about turning the horror thriller into a Cloverfield movie. This was around the same time the second Cloverfield film, 10 Cloverfield Lane, was in development at Paramount, the same studio behind A Quiet Place.

“I guess it crossed our mind and we had spoken to our representatives about that possibility,” Beck said. “It was weird timing, though, because when we were writing the script, 10 Cloverfield Lane was at Paramount.”

The Breakout Star of the Solo Trailer Also Created Our Favorite New Show

The new trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story featured plenty of Han, Chewie, and a commanding Emilia Clarke, but it also snuck in a first look at a spunky new female droid: L3-37, voiced by Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge. L3 only appears in a handful of shots in the trailer, but she already makes an impression as a much more informal (and enthusiastic) droid than the likes of 3PO or Rogue One’s K-2, as well as being the sidekick of undisputed Solo MVP Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover).

The painfully funny (and sometimes just plain painful) Fleabag became a breakout hit for Amazon and the BBC in 2016, but 2018 promises to be an even bigger year for Waller-Bridge, between the the multihyphenate’s Solo outing and her critically-acclaimed new BBC America thriller Killing Eve, which debuted last night around the same time the Solo movie trailer was making waves online.

Bumblebee Writer Takes Over Scripting Batgirl Movie

DC and Warner Bros.’ Batgirl movie has found a new writer in Christina Hodson.

THR reports Hodson, who penned the upcoming Transformers spin-off Bumblebee, will now be taking over scripting duties on the project. This comes two months after writer-director Joss Whedon exited the film because he couldn’t come with a story after reportedly spending a year trying.

“Batgirl is such an exciting project, and Warners/DC

such collaborative and supportive partners, that it took me months to realize I really didn’t have a story,” Whedon said at the time.

DC Comics to Reveal the Secret of the Three Jokers

One of the biggest twists to come out of the DC Rebirth relaunch in 2016 is the reveal that there are actually three Jokers in the DC Universe. And nearly two years later, we finally have an inkling of how DC will follow up on that reveal.

At a Batman-themed C2E2 panel this past weekend, newly promoted Batman group editor Jamie S. Rich confirmed that writer Geoff Johns is indeed working on a new story to follow up on the Three Jokers reveal. Rich didn’t give a title for the series or a potential release date, but he did reveal that artist Jason Fabok is currently drawing pages for the book. Fabok and Johns previously collaborated on Justice League: The Darkseid War in 2015.

SAO Alternative Episode 1 Review

Once upon a 2012, Sword Art Online consumed us with the mystique of virtual reality and unhealthy gaming habits. It played to our fears of being consumed by gaming and brought interesting discussions to the table, albeit completely unrealistic. Now, in 2018, VR can’t potentially kill its players anymore. Everything is sunshine and rainbows in SAO, and there’s a new girl to boot.

If you’re expecting Kirito, Asuna, and the rest of the SAO gang, you’re not going to get them here. SAO Alternative is just as its name implies–it’s not part of the series’ core narrative. Instead, it’s a side story following a completely new crew of characters in a world we already know from the Ballet of Bullets arc in SAO II. Returning to Gale Gun Online, this series follows LLENN, a famed solo player, and her rise to fame.

The Undertaker’s WrestleMania Return Was Awesome…But Now He Needs to Retire for Real

A bit of business up front: If you haven’t already, check out my full WrestleMania 34 live blog, results, and reaction piece-o-rama right here!

For people looking for more of an overall review statement, I thought ‘Mania 34 was quite amazing. One of the most entertaining ‘Manias in a while. I have severely mixed feelings about Asuka losing, but I’d much prefer it this way than her losing to Rousey. Or

Carmella, which I wouldn’t put past them. The fact that it was a stellar match, maybe the best of the night, helped a great deal.

But I’m not here to mark out over Asuka though. I’m here to prattle off some feelings about the Undertaker’s big return. Back in the first week of January, I wrote about why I felt Undertaker vs. Cena needed to happen. I needed closure. I wanted to have us all know, ahead of time, that we’d be seeing the Deadman’s final appearance. He couldn’t just lose to Roman and then hang up, or neatly set down, his garb and surprise us with a final bow.

LawBreakers Dev Responds to Pay-to-Win Concerns Around New Battle Royale Game

Update: Boss Key has confirmed to IGN that the Radical Heights Founder’s Pack has been updated to no longer include the $10,000 of cash originally offered. The story has been updated to reflect this.

LawBreakers developer Boss Key Productions has responded to early pay-to-win concerns starting to grow around its newly announced free-to-play battle royale game, Radical Heights.

“All matches start as a blank slate for all players with $0 in their in-game cash wallet,” Boss Key told IGN. “It’s up to players to see if they want to risk grabbing cash from their ‘Offshore Bank’ or just look for weapons and gear can be found naturally in the world like other Battle Royale games.”
