Bethesda Settles Lawsuit Over Westworld Game It Claimed Was A Ripoff Of Fallout Shelter

The lawsuit that Bethesda brought against developer Behaviour and media giant Warner Bros. over a Westworld video game has come to an end, it seems.

Bethesda and Behaviour announced that they have reached an amicable settlement, though no terms were disclosed. Bethesda initially said Behaviour’s Westworld mobile video game was a “blatant ripoff” of Fallout Shelter.

Behaviour worked on Fallout Shelter, and Bethesda further alleged that Behaviour “illegally” used the same copyrighted source code from Fallout Shelter to developer the Westworld game. Not only that, but Bethesda claimed Behaviour “copied Fallout Shelter’s game design, art, animations, gameplay features, and other elements.

Bethesda was suing Behaviour and Warner Bros. for “copyright infringement, breach of contract, and misappropriation of [Bethesda’s] intellectual property.”

Filings with the United States District Court in Maryland, where Bethesda is located, show that Bethesda and Behaviour came to terms on a settlement in principle back in November 2018. A notice dated December 12 confirms that Bethesda and Behaviour “resolved their dispute.” Bethesda, Behaviour, and Warner Bros. each will bear their own costs, including attorney’s fees; however no other terms of the settlement were disclosed. It is not uncommon for settlement details to remain under wraps.

The Westworld game, which is free and supported by microtransactions just like Fallout Shelter, remains available to download on iOS and Android.

Jumanji Sequel In Talks With Awkwafina

The upcoming sequel to 2017’s popular Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle may see its cast grow and include the rapper-turned-actress Awkwafina. According to Variety, Awkwafina, whose real name is Nora Lum, is in talks to appear in the sequel.

Awkwafina had a big year in 2018, having appeared in popular movies like Crazy Rich Asians and Ocean’s 8.

All the major stars of the 2017 Jumanji movie–Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan–are all expected to come back for the sequel. What’s more, director Jake Kasdan, who is the son of legendary Star Wars writer Lawrence Kasdan, is returning as well.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle made $962 million worldwide, making it the fifth highest-grossing film of 2017, and a sure candidate for a sequel. In June 2018, The Rock confirmed that the sequel was officially underway. He said at the time, perhaps jokingly, that Kevin Hart’s character will die in the first 15 seconds.

Plot details are under wraps for the Jumanji sequel, but The Rock teased that Kasdan gave a “dynamite pitch” for the plot. The film hits theatres in December 2019.

The Rock and Kasdan are also working together on a new Netflix movie called John Henry and the Statesman.

Gotham: Final Season Premiere Review

Warning: Full spoilers for the Gotham: Season 5 premiere follow…

Gotham kicks off its shortened final season with one hell of a tease: a fateful day, over a year from the start of this “No Man’s Land” arc, where Riddler, Penguin, Jim, and Harvey – the heroes and villains – team up to take on an attacking army. It’s a pretty awesome opening beat and one that definitely helps shape the show’s last run (even though the final final episode will take place 10 years in the future).

We’ve got a lot of interesting things coming. Bane will pop up at some point. Jeremiah will return. Everything will wrap up with a massive firefight. Unfortunately, none of that’s happening yet and “Year Zero” feels sort of flat as a premiere. Granted, it contains a lot of set up and catch up, but even once the story elements kick in, nothing grabs hold the way it should.

Henry Cavill Poses in Loving Homage to Jason Momoa’s Aquaman

Henry Cavill, who plays Superman in the current run of DC movies, posted a humorous selfie to congratulate his Justice League co-star Jason Momoa on the success of his Aquaman solo movie.

The actor posted a selfie of himself partially submerged in dark water and holding a fork close to the camera on his personal Instagram account.

The fork is clearly meant to poke fun at Aquaman’s signature trident weapon and in the caption, Cavill jokingly asks Momoa, “How’d I do?”

Cavill also congratulates Momoa and the rest of the team who worked on Aquaman: “Jason, James and everyone involved in that movie, smashes it out of the (water)park. If you haven’t seen it yet, go check it out.
