Warner Bros. and Suicide Squad director David Ayer may be teaming up again for a different kind of film.
Ayer is reportedly in talks to direct a contemporary remake of The Dirty Dozen, a war film that originally came out in 1967, according to Variety.
Ayer is also in talks to pen the screenplay for the updated version, which will reportedly also follow a group of soldiers brought together on an important mission.
Ayer directed 2016’s Suicide Squad and 2017’s Bright, both starring Will Smith. There’s no word yet on casting for the remake.
Four-player arcade cabinets like TMNT are arguably the most fondly-remembered machines of the arcade era. Two such games, Konami’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and TMNT: Turtles in Time, are among the most beloved of all thanks to excellent use of their license and eye-popping cartoon graphics.
Now Arcade1up, maker of 3/4-scale arcade cabinet replicas, released an at-home version of the famous TMNT 4-player cabinet in October (see it on Walmart) and I’m happy to say it rules extremely hard.
With the year that was 2019 coming to a close, it’s the perfect time to look back and reflect on those movies that you probably didn’t see. That’s right, we’re delving into the biggest box office bombs of 2019. As we did last year, we are limiting this to movies that opened wide (at least 1,000 theaters or more), and in most cases, these are films that failed to at least recoup their production budget from its worldwide tally, though, there are a few exceptions.
When you factor in the production budget, plus publicity and advertising costs, plus other expenditures like first-dollar gross points paid out to stars and/or filmmakers, it’s generally believed that a film should earn back at least twice its production budget to truly break even. So, we can’t consider a disappointing entry like Men In Black: International a true “bomb” since it took in $253.9 million worldwide ($80 million domestic, $173.9 million international) from a $110 million budget, despite being the lowest-grossing entry in that franchise’s history, and the same goes for Dora and the Lost City of Gold ($119.2 million worldwide, $49 million budget) as well.
Why does Doctor Manhattan need to be destroyed for a new Doctor Manhattan to exist?
Both Trieu and the 7th Kavalry were fixated on destroying Jon before gaining his powers. It’s obvious, in the case of the 7th K, that they didn’t want someone else on equal footing as they acted in their white supremacist agenda, but it makes less sense for Trieu. Sure, we can assume she was raised (like Angela herself) to resent Doctor Manhattan, but why couldn’t someone as smart and as wealthy as Trieu just make a new intrinsic field generator to grant herself powers without getting Jon involved? The Russians were trying to do just that, so it certainly wasn’t out of the realm of possibility. Since when do Highlander “there can be only one” rules apply to Doctor Manhattan?
Sony’s attempt at a classic micro-console, the PlayStation Classic, is more than a year old at this point, and while it wasn’t super well received at launch, you can get it pretty cheap these days. Its current normal price is $30 USD, and as part of GameStop’s Game Days sale, the retailer has lowered it even further, currently selling it for $20.
PlayStation Classic for $20
The PlayStation Classic features 20 games, including classics like Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 3, and Resident Evil: Director’s Cut. Its original price was $100, but soon after, it was discounted and has seen multiple different sales over the past year.
Unfortunately, there are a few things that need to be considered before purchasing a PlayStation Classic. Most notably is that some of the included games are the European PAL versions, which means they run at 50Hz. This includes Tekken 3, which ran at 60Hz–or 60 frames per second–in North America and Japan on the original PlayStation. That sadly isn’t the case with the PlayStation Classic. You can check the list below to see the full library of games–we’ve marked which ones are PAL games.
“I’d like nothing more than to tell you that the PS Classic is a pleasant surprise, that it will match your excitement and then some,” critic Peter Brown wrote. “This sadly isn’t the case, and short of Sony refreshing it, or the hacking community breaking it open and reconfiguring it, the PS Classic may never be more than a puny PlayStation with good looks.”

Online subscriptions are some of the best last-minute gift ideas you can get for the gamers on your shopping list. If you’re searching for the perfect gift for the PS4 owner in your life, you can save on PlayStation Plus right now at Newegg. Normally $60, 12-month PS Plus subscriptions are discounted to $45 with promo code EMCUVUB23.
The subscription code is delivered via email, so you’ll probably want to print it out to place in a holiday card.
PlayStation Plus is practically essential for any PS4 owner. Without a PS Plus subscription, you cannot play online multiplayer, which is a big component in modern gaming. PS Plus memberships can also be stacked, so you can extend your membership early and save yourself money longterm.
Memberships also come with a couple of awesome perks. Each month, Sony gives PS Plus members two digital games that you can continue playing as long as you’re a current subscriber. Members also gain access to cloud storage to backup save files.
December’s free PS Plus games are Titanfall 2–one of the best first-person shooters ever made–and Monster Energy Supercross. These freebies will still be active until Tuesday, January 7, so if you’re buying this as a gift, they’ll have two free games to download on Christmas morning.
If you’ve never shopped at Newegg and would prefer going with a retailer you’re more familiar with, Sony’s last-minute holiday deals include $45 12-month PlayStation Plus subscriptions as well. The deal runs from December 20 to January 17 and should be available at all major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target.

The Outer Worlds is a wide-open adventure game that can last dozens of hours if you fully plumb its depths and sidequests, but even more is coming in 2020. Obsidian has announced that story DLC will be coming next year, though the studio didn’t say much more than that.
In a brief note on the Obisidian forums, social media manager Shyla Schofield thanked the team behind the game and noted the honor of receiving four nominations at The Game Awards. Though the post was made after Outer Worlds went home empty-handed, she said “even just being nominated means a lot.” Then the message segued into the upcoming content.
“However, the journey isn’t over yet as we are excited to announce that we will be expanding the story through DLC next year!” it reads. “Details will be made available at a later date.”
The note didn’t mention platforms, but presumably it will come to every platform simultaneously: PC, PS4, Xbox One, and possibly Nintendo Switch, though release timing on that platform port is still unannounced.
One of that weirdest mashups in Hollywood history is looking less and less likely. It was back in January 2018 when it was reported that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino was interested in helming a big screen Star Trek film. Now, following the home release of his latest film, Tarantino is reevaluating where his career goes next.
Over the years, the man behind movies like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Django Unchained has repeatedly stated that he plans to retire after making 10 films. With Once Upon a Time in Hollywood being his ninth to date, the director still claims that’s his plan, which may not leave room for Star Trek.
“I think I’m steering away from Star Trek, but I haven’t had an official conversation with those guys yet,” he admitted during an interview with Consequences of Sound. “In a strange way, it seems like this movie, [Once Upon a Time in Hollywood], would be my last. So, I’ve kind of taken the pressure off myself to make that last big voilà kind of statement.”
Instead, Tarantino has no idea of what the story of his next–and potentially final–movie will be. He does, however, think it will be smaller in scale that some of his previous titles. “If the idea that all the films are a boxcar and it’s all one train, they’re all telling one story,” he explained. “Well, [Once Upon a Time] is the climax, so I can actually see now my 10th movie probably being a little smaller.”
Of course, with no current plan in mind, that could all change. “Look, I might come up with a really big idea,” Tarantino said. “But right now, the idea of a smaller audience almost all the way around is appealing to me.”
Still, while he may be currently steering away from Star Trek and looking to plot out his exit from filmmaking, things could always change. So perhaps we haven’t heard the last about his potential involvement in a Star Trek film franchise.

If you’ve spent the past few years collecting and playing a vast library of titles on Xbox One, then don’t worry–that collection is all coming with you if you choose to upgrade to Xbox Series X (the official name of Project Scarlett). Xbox Series X will support backwards compatibility for all Xbox One games the day the next-gen console launches.
“We wanted to make sure we had that, day one, we could deliver on the compatibility promise, and so I’ve been playing quite a few [Xbox 360] games on my [Xbox Series X] and Xbox One games on the [Xbox Series X] and that’s just to ensure that we can be there day one,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer told GameSpot.
“We have thousands of games that run on Xbox One today,” Xbox partner director of program management Jason Ronald told GameSpot. “We want those games to be able to come forward with you but we also want your services to come with you. We want your gaming legacy to come with you, whether that’s your Gamerscore, whether that’s your friends list, all your Achievements, your game saves, all of that should come forward so there are no barriers for you as you think about moving forward.”
The process of ensuring three previous console generations of games all play on Xbox Series X has been a lot of work. “There is work in ensuring [backwards] compatibility across those generations,” Spencer said. “So, as you might remember, we slowed down and paused our backwards compatibility program for [Xbox 360] on Xbox One.”
“[It takes a lot of work] even for Xbox One games, because one of the biggest challenges is console games are usually hyper-optimized to the unique hardware capabilities of the device, and this is a new generation of hardware,” Ronald added. “It is a new chip architecture. At the same time, we did design the silicon with [backwards] compatibility in mind, so we did make certain decisions to try to lessen that work, but I don’t want to trivialize how much work the team’s actually doing because there is a tremendous amount of work.”

Many of us go into Black Friday intending to cross all the names off our Christmas shopping list early–but end up splurging on stuff for ourselves (at least, I did). We’re now about a week away from Christmas, which means time is running out to buy gifts for your loved ones this year. Luckily, online shopping means you can place orders right up until December 23 or even Christmas Eve, depending on where you shop.
With Amazon Prime, you’ll nearly always get free two-day, one-day, or even same-day shipping depending on where you live and what time of day you place the order. That makes Amazon an ideal place to snag last-minute gifts for Christmas, and luckily for budget-savvy shoppers, there’s a huge sale going on right now with last-minute deals on Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One.
In terms of game deals, it’s clear that Amazon’s stock is starting to dwindle after the rush of Black Friday, but there are still some great deals this week. Notably, Death Stranding is only $40, the cheapest it’s been since its release on PS4 in November. Borderlands 3 is available for just $35 on PS4 and Xbox One. You can also snag Marvel’s Spider-Man: Game of the Year Edition for just $20 on PS4; it includes all DLC. There’s also a nice discount on Red Dead Redemption 2 for Xbox One: $30 for a digital code.
If you missed out on some of the best VR deals from Black Friday, a great headset option is back in stock at Amazon ahead of Christmas. You can snag a standalone Oculus Go VR headset at a nice discount right now: $149 for the 32GB and $199 for the 64GB model. Please note this particular headset isn’t compatible with the upcoming game Half-Life: Alyx; it’s better suited for watching TV and movies.
Amazon also restocked some of Black Friday’s best console offers, including the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition for $149. The PS4 Slim holiday bundle with God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition, and The Last of Us Remastered is also back in stock at a discount, although it’s priced at $250 rather than its ridiculously low Black Friday price, $200. Still, this is the bundle to buy if you’re looking to pick up a PS4 this Christmas.
