What may be Cloverfield 4 is a “crazy movie,” according to producer J.J. Abrams.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Abrams briefly touched on the potential fourth Cloverfield film, called Overlord for now, and how it could fit into the Cloverfield franchise. Though the filmmaker remained vague about whether the movie will end up actually being Cloverfield 4, despite recent reports suggesting it is, Abrams is still excited about the project nonetheless.
While not as easy to piece together as – say – figuring out Clark Kent is actually Superman, anyone who’s determined enough, and searches hard enough, could surely surmise that Batman is billionaire Bruce Wayne.
Still, you want it to be a challenge for that person, right? They shouldn’t just be able to stumble across the information, especially if they weren’t even actively looking for it. But ever since Alfred escorted Vicki Vale into the Batcave back in 1989 because he thought she was Bruce’s soulmate after one date, the Batman films have had some issues when it comes to keeping secrets. Even Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy had the Caped Crusader clueing in those close to him about his alter ego.

One of the best things about Amazon Prime is its shipping. It’s bulletproof. Two-day shipping is free and for a few bucks, you can get stuff the next day.
Depending on where you live, ordering something on a Friday means the free Prime shipping won’t get it there until Tuesday, but if you don’t mind dropping a couple bucks, you can clear out the malaise of an average Monday by giving your future-self a nice gift.
Not a member? Remember you can nab a Prime 30 day free trial and enjoy all the benefits, for free.

Last year, Marvel turned heads by ending the animated series Ultimate Spider-Man and quickly following it up with a brand new series, Marvel’s Spider-Man. Many questioned the purpose of replacing one Spider-Man cartoon with another, especially given that both shows focus on a high school-age Peter Parker. However, with time it’s become clear that there’s more distinguishing Marvel’s Spider-Man than simply its rebooted continuity and overhauled animation style. Marvel’s Spider-Man is the first animated series that truly feels like an ensemble project. For the first time, Spidey is on equal footing with heroes like Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy and Anya Corazon.
That ensemble approach has really become evident with the show’s current five-part storyline, “Spider-Island.” A loose adaptation of the comic book storyline of the same name, “Spider-Island” explores what happens when millions of Manhattan residents suddenly develop spider powers. That plot twist has allowed for both Spider-Gwen (voiced by Laura Bailey) and Spider-Girl (voiced by Melanie Minichino) to join Peter and Miles in the superhero game, effectively transforming Spider-Man from a solo player to a member of a full-fledged superhero team.

Nothing quite matches the experience of playing games and watching movies as they’re projected on your living room wall. I became a projector disciple over 15 years ago and have never looked back. But projectors can be bulky, aren’t very attractive, and need to live on a stand in the back of your room, or mounted on the ceiling (which introduces a whole bunch of installation issues).

Earlier this week we discovered that Bandai Namco is seemingly working on an unannounced first-person shooter exclusive to Nintendo Switch. Now, it appears that FPS is in fact Metroid Prime 4.
Eurogamer states “multiple sources” have confirmed to the site that the exclusive game is indeed Metroid Prime 4. Eurogamer also says the game’s lead developer is Bandai Namco Studios Singapore–a studio formed in 2013–in collaboration with Nintendo. GameSpot contacted Bandai Namco regarding the report; the company simply stated it had no comment to make at this time.
Metroid Prime 4 was announced at E3 last year, though no lead developer was revealed, and no gameplay or trailer was shown. The only other details we know about the game is that it may not be released in 2018 and that series producer Kensuke Tanabe is overseeing the project. The original trilogy was developed by Retro, which most recently made Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Wii U.
During a Bandai Namco earnings briefing in November last year, the company talked about how the it’s adding more resources to Switch game development. President Mitsuaki Taguchi said, according to the Wall Street Journal, “It’s a shame, but we didn’t think the Switch [would] be accepted this fast.”
Bandai Namco Singapore’s jobs page shows at least five open positions. However, none of the listings say what kind of game the candidate would be working on. The job ads call for people with experience working on AAA games.
One high-profile upcoming Switch release from Bandai Namco is Dark Souls Remastered, which is due out in May. It will include the Artorias of the Abyss DLC, along with a better frame rate and improved resolution.

It wasn’t especially surprising news when in November last year Disney announced it was planning to launch its own streaming service in 2019,, but it was a big deal. The studio has such a wealth of content that it made sense that it would want to monetize the streaming potential of properties such as Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, and its classic animated catalogue. It was however less clear what content would be available on the service, and what would remain on platforms such as Netflix and Hulu.
A report in Deadline has now revealed some more details as to what subscribers can expect when it launches. The platform is currently untitled and the subscription cost is unknown, but it will launch initially in the US only, before a later expansion overseas. The service will remain family-friendly, which means no R-rated content; R-rated movies and shows will instead end up on Hulu, in which Disney holds a stake.
Superhero fans wondering what will happen to the raft of Marvel shows produced by Netflix may be relieved to learn that they are to stay put. It is unclear if this means that Netflix will continue to produce new Marvel shows, or whether the existing ones will simply remain on the service.
The broader aim is for Disney to start producing its own movie and TV content. Deadline states that the plan in the first year is to make “four to five original movies, and five TV series.” Each show will cost Disney $25 million-$35 million for 10 episodes, but the site notes that “exceptionally ambitious” projects could be budgeted as high as $100 million.
Obviously one these more expensive series could be the Star Wars TV show, which we know the studio is planning. Earlier this week, Disney boss Bob Iger revealed that it was in fact working on several shows in the franchise. “We are developing not just one, but a few Star Wars series specifically for the Disney direct to consumer app,” he said. “We’ve mentioned that and we are close to being able to reveal at least one of the entities that is developing that for us. Because the deal isn’t completely closed, we can’t be specific about that, [but] I think you’ll find the level of talent on the television front will be rather significant as well.”
