21 Jump Street Directors Are Working With Channing Tatum Again On Something Very Different

The key talent from the 21 Jump Street movies are getting back together to make a monster movie, according to a report from Deadline.

Channing Tatum will star in the movie that is to be produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. They all worked together on 21 Jump Street and 22 Jump Street, both which Lord and Miller directed, with Tatum starring. The pair also worked on the Star Wars movie Solo until Disney fired them and brought in Ron Howard to finish the film.

The new monster movie is based on a “classic movie character,” the report said. It describes the film as a “modern-day, tongue-in-cheek thriller inspired by Universal’s classic monster legacy.” Some of the monster properties that Universal has the rights to include The Mummy, Dracula, and Frankenstein.

Wes Tooke (Midway) wrote the script for the new monster movie, while Reid Carolin (Magic Mike) came up with the idea and wrote the treatment.

Universal’s latest monster movie, The Invisible Man, was a big hit–it took in more than $130 million at the global box office. Before that, Universal released a reboot of The Mummy starring Tom Cruise, but it was a gigantic flop, leading many to question of Universal’s plans for a monster movie universe would move forward.

There is no word yet on who might direct the new monster movie or who else may star in it.

Cyberpunk 2077 Appears to Be in the Wild, So Beware of Spoilers

It appears that physical copies of Cyberpunk 2077 have appeared in the wild, so beware of spoilers and leaks on the internet.

Redditor Justgonnasendit shared an image of Cyberpunk 2077’s physical game case, and claims to have held it in his hands at his Amazon job. This comes well before Cyberpunk 2077’s current release date of December 10, 2020, and means the risk of being spoiled by those who somehow obtain an early copy are now greater.

This particular Cyberpunk 2077 game case is for the PS4 version of the game and features a sticker that states a free PS5 upgrade is available to those who have a PS5 console with a disc drive.

Cyberpunk 2077’s game case also confirms that the game, at least on PS4, will come on 2 Blu-ray discs. Furthermore, those who opt for a physical copy will receive a world compendium, stickers, postcards, a game map, and digital content access.

Justgonnasendit also shared a couple other images, including one of the back of the box and one of a bunch of Cyberpunk 2077 game cases.

Destiny 2’s New Deep Stone Crypt Raid Beaten, Unlocking Quests For All Players

One of the most exciting new additions for Destiny 2: Beyond Light was the new raid, Deep Stone Crypt, which became available for high-level players over the weekend.

It took nearly six hours, according to Kotaku, but the raid has been completed for the first time by the Luminous fireteam. Their names are Aoterra, Claw, FlFluxux, Schendzie, SiegeDancers, and Sotosolice. For their efforts, the clan gets this unique emblem.

With the raid now completed, all Destiny 2 Beyond Light players are getting new content, including multiple quests and new zones, along with Eclipsed Zones.

Three new exotics are included with the new content, too, according to Kotaku, including a rocket launcher called Eyes of Tomorrow, a sniper rifle (Cloudstrike), and a sword (Lament).

Everyone who completed the Deep Stone Crypt raid in its first 24 hours on Contest Mode will receive a unique emblem that celebrates their accomplishment.

Cyberpunk 2077 Could Be In The Wild, So Be Wary Of Spoilers

After numerous delays, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally set to release next month. However, it looks like there could be physical copies already in the wild, and you’d be wise to avoid watching gameplay if you want to avoid spoilers ahead of the launch date.

Images of sealed PS4 copies of the game have appeared online, and a Reddit poster claims they were able to hold one in advance via a job at Amazon. The box art lists two Blu-ray discs along with stickers, postcards, a world compendium, and a game map, as well as extra digital content. If you’ve purchased The Witcher 3’s physical version, then these contents should seem familiar, as CD Projekt Red included stickers and other goodies in the standard edition of that game, too.

But with copies potentially leaking into the wild, including gameplay videos that are quickly getting removed, you have to be mindful of spoilers. We’ve learned quite a bit about the world of Cyberpunk 2077, including its factions and the backstory of Johnny Silverhand, but there is plenty we don’t know.

The wait to finally play Cyberpunk 2077 has only gotten harder, as the game has undergone multiple delays. Initially planned for release in April, it was then delayed to September and then November before its most-recent–and presumably final–December 10 date. You can learn more about Johnny himself in the final Night City Wire presentation.

At launch, Cyberpunk 2077 will be available on Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Stadia. It will be backwards compatible with Xbox Series X/S and PS5, and full next-gen versions will arrive at a later date with free upgrades.

Spider-Man Remastered On PS5 Now Supports Saves From PS4 Version

Marvel’s Spider-Man is one of the most-successful PlayStation exclusives of all time, and if you own the PS4, you’ve probably played it. That’s why it was disappointing when we learned the game’s save data wouldn’t be supported in the PS5-exclusive Spider-Man Remastered. Or at least that was the case, as Insomniac Games has delivered a new update enabling the feature.

The update, which Insomniac Games pushed live overnight on November 22, is for the PS4 version of the game. Using this game, you can export your save data into Spider-Man Remastered as well as the suits you’ve acquired. A second update was applied to the PS5 version which makes numerous fixes and, of course, allows you to import the save data that you had exported from the other game.

One of the other fixes applied to the PS5 version is for the Rest Mode crash, which was causing some players’ entire system to crash. It’s unclear if Rest Mode is safe to use yet in other PS5 games, or on the dashboard, so we’d still suggest turning your console completely off when you aren’t using it for the time being.

Spider-Man Remastered is only available through Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PS5. The Ultimate Edition includes the remastered game, and if you own Miles Morales on PS4, you can then upgrade to the Ultimate Edition later on PS5. We also wouldn’t be shocked if Sony eventually offered the remastered version on its own, but thus far, that isn’t in the works.
