Attack on Titan Episode 46 Review

For as gory and merciless as Attack on Titan is, this episode puts previous dark, visceral episodes to shame. Biting humans in half is one thing, but this particular abnormal titan is a whole new level of just gross.

If you haven’t already caught up to this point in Season 3, turn back now. Full spoilers for “Ruler of the Walls” are ahead.

Last episode’s cliffhanger left off with a transformed Rod Reiss barreling toward the Orvud District. “Ruler of the Walls” follows the Scouts’ daring gamble to save the district, and features probably one of Attack on Titan’s more clever battles too.

X-Men’s Bryan Singer in Negotiations to Direct Millenium’s Red Sonja

X-Men: Apocalypse director, Bryan Singer is reportedly in negotiations to direct Millennium’s Red Sonja, according to THR.

Singer would helm the adaptation of the 1970’s Conan the Barbarian comic spinoff, while writer of X-Men: First Class, Ashley Miller will take on the screenplay.

Millennium is producing the new Sonja movie and hopes to create a franchise from the audience that is connected to Wonder Woman.

They have had a Sonja film in the works since 2008, at the time with Robert Rodriguez and Rose McGowan who made an announcement at that year’s Comic-Con. Writers have been coming and leaving the project ever since.

New Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Video Shows Who The Real Action Hero Is–Sorry, Chris Pratt

Sure, Chris Pratt might be the highest-billed star in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and he finds himself in the middle of several big action scenes featuring dinosaurs, villains, rain, guns, and quite a few more wrinkles that make things difficult. As it turns out, though, he’s not the true action star of that movie.

As you can see in a special video from the movie’s Blu-ray release, which is debuting exclusively on GameSpot, it’s actually young Isabella Sermon, who plays Maisie Lockwood, who’s the real hero. In the clip, the young actress is preparing for what is likely her most impressive moment in the film. “I’ve rehearsed for the big stunt, which is Maisie sliding down a massive glass roof,” she says. “This morning we practiced actually on the set, where Maisie’s climbing along the roof and the Indoraptor smashes out of a window.”

In the finished film, this particular moment is pretty thrilling as the stormy night creates complications. As shown in the video, though, things were much more controlled on set, as the mansion was actually built inside of a soundstage, with production creating the rain.

Still, this scene sees Maisie and Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) take quite a few tumbles, where a stunt person could have easily stepped in for the hard work. Sermon wasn’t about to let that happen, though. “I’m just working with Izzy, who’s earned the name ‘the kid rock,’ because she does all of her own stunts.”

Who could blame her, though? Getting chased by dinosaurs, sliding down roofs, and saving the day is all anyone could ask for when starring in a Jurassic World movie, right? “It’s quite fun,” Sermon says with a smile.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is out on digital now and will be released on Blu-ray and 4K September 18. For more from the home release, take a look at this shocking revelation from Jeff Goldblum. Also make sure to check out our Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom pre-order guide.

Biggest New Movie Releases In Theaters, On Netflix, And On Demand This Week

The fall traditionally sees the release of the many of the prestigious movies that are awards-contenders, and 2018 is no different. Over the next few months, expect to see films such as First Man, Widows, and If Beale Street Could Talk hitting theaters, while many of the big summer movies move to VoD and streaming. Of course, the big talk in Hollywood this week is the Emmy awards, but there’s still several great movies being released.

This week, the fantasy adventure movie The House With a Clock in Its Walls hits theaters, with Cate Blanchett and Jack Black in the lead roles. John C. Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix star in the dark comedy western The Sisters Brothers, and there’s violent teen satire in the blood-splattered Assassination Nation. On digital formats, the thriller sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado and horror sequel The First Purge are out to buy, while Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is now available to rent.

The landscape for consuming movies has really changed over the past few years. The biggest films still debut in the old fashioned-way–in theaters, with home releases still a few months off. But with the rise of streaming and Video on Demand, we are increasingly seeing simultaneous releases for smaller movies, with films getting a limited theatrical release on the same day that they are available to buy and rent digitally.

The rise of Netflix and Amazon as major players in film production has also disrupted standard release patterns. Netflix in particular has attracted some major directors, and their movies will bypass theaters entirely and premiere worldwide on the streaming platform. And of course, movies that did get a theatrical release continue to move to digital platforms after a few months. This is a great way to catch up on movies you might have missed on the big screen–or are keen to rewatch. So here’s our look at the best and most interesting new movies in theaters and available to watch at home this week.

The New GeForce RTX 20 Series Nvidia Preorders Are Live, But Hard to Get

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

The GeForce RTX 20 series graphics cards are coming out this week, and from basically the moment preorders went up, they were hard to find. They sold out quickly, from all manufacturers to all different retailers. It’s a bit of a bummer if you were hoping to dive, head-first, into the next generation of GPUs from Nvidia. However, all is not lost.

Your best bet for getting your hands on an RTX 20 series Nvidia card is to buy a prebuilt PC, of which there are MANY options to choose from. The main advantage to a prebuilt is you upgrade everything in one fell swoop, so you don’t need to worry about surprises. Nothing sucks the fun out of a room faster than realizing the PSU on your current rig isn’t going to handle the new GPU, or any of about a million other potential surprises.

Fortnite Adding New Item Soon Ahead Of Season 6

We’re in the waning days of Fortnite Season 5, but developer Epic still has some new content in store for the popular battle royale game before Season 6 officially arrives. We’ve gotten our first glimpse at one upcoming item courtesy of Fortnite’s in-game news feed, and it looks like it could shake the game up fairly dramatically.

A listing has appeared in Fortnite’s News section for an item called the Port-a-Fortress. According to the feed, the item is “coming soon” to the game, presumably as part of this week’s update. Based on its name, it sounds like an enhanced version of the Port-a-Fort, a portable item introduced earlier this spring that can spawn a fort a few seconds after being thrown.

Based on the Port-a-Fortress’s accompanying description, it sounds like it works similarly to the Port-a-Fort. “Toss down the Port-a-Fortress and take defense to new heights,” the description reads. You can get a glimpse of the item below.

Epic has been introducing new items to Fortnite on an almost weekly basis. Last week, the developer rolled out the 5.40 content update, which added the Suppressed Assault Rifle. The studio has also periodically removed weapons from the game’s arsenal and put them into the Vault; most recently, Epic vaulted the Drum Gun. However, weapons that have been removed from Fortnite could potentially return to the game down the line.

Season 5 of Fortnite is scheduled to wrap up on Tuesday, September 25, making this your last chance to complete any remaining challenges you need to do before Season 6 kicks off. Epic has released 10 weekly sets of challenges throughout Season 5; you can find all of them and tips on how to complete them in our Fortnite Season 5 challenge roundup. You can also see the items you can earn for finishing challenges in our Season 5 rewards gallery.

Buy A $200 Red Dead Redemption 2 Blanket For Those Cold Western Nights

Rockstar Games is selling a Red Dead Redemption 2 blanket and it’s available for purchase right now. The blanket costs $200, and only ships to U.S. addresses. Rockstar has a few RDR2-themed candles for sale too if you want to create a bit more ambience when you’re playing the game this October.

The RDR2 blanket is 68 x 39 inches, which is about the size of a single bed mattress. The blanket is felt bound and made from 82% pure virgin wool and 18% cotton. It depicts the game’s Van der Linde gang riding against a red background. You can pre-order the blanket right now from GameStop, and it will ship out the same day as RDR2’s release.

You can also pre-order the candles from GameStop, and they’ll ship the same day. If you want one, you’ve got three options. The Black Glass, Dynamite, and Barrel candles are each appropriately shaped like the item they’re named after, and cost $50, $80, and $100 respectfully. Every candle is labeled with the RDR2 logo, and smells like a mixture of blood orange, incense, amber, rockrose, smoked cedar, sandalwood, violet leaf, and juniper. Rockstar has plenty of other physical goodies on the way, if you want to buy even more merchandise.
