Following the new Once Upon A Time In Hollywood poster featuring Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio’s characters, another one has come online for Margot Robbie’s role.

Robbie plays Sharon Tate, who was murdered by Charles Manson’s followers in 1969. Check it out below.

According to Deadline, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood tells a Pulp Fiction-style story that features intersecting stories set in Los Angeles during 1969. DiCaprio plays Rick Dalton, who is the struggling former star of a Western TV show, while Pitt plays his stunt double Cliff Booth. Rick’s neighbour is Sharon Tate.

In addition to DiCaprio, Pitt, and Robbie, the film features other huge names like Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, James Marsden, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Timothy Olyphant, Lena Dunham, Emile Hirsch, and Dakota Fanning. Bruce Dern came aboard the movie last year to play a part meant for Burt Reynolds who died in September 2018.

Luke Perry filmed scenes for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood before his death in March.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which is due in theatres on July 26, is Tarantino’s ninth film, and it might be one of his final movies. In 2016 he said that he would quit directing after his tenth movie, but it remains to be the seen if this is still the case.

According to IndieWire, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood may make its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival in May.

At Google’s GDC 2019 keynote, company VP Phil Harrison revealed a new cloud gaming streaming service called Stadia. During the presentation, Harrison also unveiled a new controller specifically designed for Stadia. The floor model that’s currently being displayed at the show, as confirmed by GameSpot’ sister site CNET, has the Konami code engraved on it. You can see the engraving in the tweet below.

According to Polygon, you can go to Stadia’s website and actually input the Konami code with your computer keyboard to find a cool Easter egg: a 3D model of the new controller. You can spin the controller around on your screen in order to get a better idea as to how it’s shaped. For those who don’t know, the full Konami code is up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start. You only need to input the first 10 keys, however, to see the controller model on Stadia’s website.

The Konami code engraving isn’t the only unique aspect of Stadia’s controller. It also comes with a share button that allows you to upload footage straight to your YouTube channel. Another button allows you to ask Google Assistant a question at anytime. Stadia’s controller links to the platform via Wi-Fi as well.

During the Google keynote, the company described Stadia as a platform meant to unify players, spectators, and developers. So, for example, you’ll be able to watch a YouTube trailer for a game and then, if you want, just start playing said title via cloud streaming within a few seconds. Stadia will feature cross-platform support as well, allowing you to play with others regardless of system. As Stadia will support cloud saves for game state and save files, it should have cross-platform progression for specific games as well.

At launch, Stadia will stream games up to 4K HDR at 60 FPS, and Google has scheduled plans to increase that threshold to 8K resolution. Stadia is scheduled to release sometime this year and will be supported across several platforms, including desktops, laptops, TVs, tablets, and phones. In an interview with GameSpot, Ubisoft chief executive officer Yves Guillemot said that Stadia should be viewed as a platform that exists alongside consoles and PCs, and not a replacement. For now, anyway.

You can read up on how cloud gaming works if you have additional questions about it, and also see which companies are making the largest strides and investing the most time and resources behind it. We’ve collected all of the Google gaming news announced during the GDC keynote too–including the reveal that Doom Eternal will release on Stadia. We’ve captured gameplay of Doom Eternal on Stadia as well if you want to know what it looks like.

The remake of the 1990 classic psychological horror film Jacob’s Ladder was supposed to be released last month, until it was pushed back to an undisclosed date later this year. Adrian Lyne’s film dealt with a haunted Vietnam War veteran who tries to discover a secret from his past by deciphering his own dreams, and over the years it has become a cult classic. This is mostly thanks to a twist near the end of the film that puts everything that came before it in a completely new light.

GameSpot had a chance to catch up with writer Jeff Buhler while he promoted his new film Pet Sematary at SXSW, and we asked him about his approach to the Jacob’s Ladder remake and how his script modernizes the classic tale.

“The original has a twist that you can’t repeat because without the secret it doesn’t have any power,” Buhler said. “So we wanted to come up with another twist that could catch people off guard.”

Buhler admitted to being a fan of the original film, having seen it many times including when the film was in theaters. He wrote the remake with Sarah Thorpe, and it’s said to focus on two brothers coming from the Middle East instead of one soldier returning from Vietnam.

“We tried to focus on the modern soldier’s experience returning from war,” Buhler told GameSpot. “The PTSD side of it is more prevalent compared to the original, which instead focuses on medical experiments done on soldiers with the use of drugs. We kind of shifted it to something more personal and grounded, which opened a lot of doors in making this story our own.”

He added, “It is nerve-wracking because the original is sacred material.”

Jacob’s Ladder stars Michael Ealy (Underworld: Awakening), Guy Burnet (Ray Donovan), Karla Souza (How to Get Away with Murder) and Nicole Beharie (Sleepy Hollow). It currently has no exact release date but is expected out this year.
