Paul Feig, director of the 2016 Ghostbusters, recently sat down with Collider to chat about his work, revealing some interesting details on why the Ghostbusters reboot happened the way it did.

From Feig’s telling of it, Sony Pictures was courting him for some time to direct a new Ghostbusters movie, and even had a script for a direct sequel to the originals. Feig didn’t like the idea; with only two of the original cast members returning, he said it would have felt like “them handing off their legacy to somebody else.”

It seems like Sony struggled to struggled to find a director interested in this sequel, with Sony Pictures’ Amy Pascal asking Feig, “Why doesn’t anybody want to do this?”

It was only when Feig started thinking about his own idea of a new Ghostbusters film that the reboot started becoming a possibility.

“I was just kind of like, if I could kind of reboot this and start a new origin story,” he told Collider. “I have all these funny women who I work with who I’m dying to get into a ‘supergroup’, why don’t I just make it them? Then it won’t compete with the memory of Bill and Dan and Harold and Ernie.”

From Feig’s telling of it, the film was never conceptualized as a genderbent reboot, beyond the director wanting to work with the funniest actors he knew–who all happened to be women.

“I thought it was the best way to avoid all the pitfalls [of remaking a classic],” Feig said. “So when suddenly it became this big thing, that that was our big pitfall, I kind of couldn’t compute.”

The director also wanted to clarify his comments, complaining that he had been misquoted as saying that everyone who hated the movie was a misogynist. “The attacks became so misogynistic, the ones that I was getting,” he explained. “That was all I saw, but I know a lot of people just didn’t want it rebooted.”

But beyond all the toxicity, Feige says he has no regrets about making the film–though he does regret some of the cut sequences that ended up out of budget. “That Times Square fight had a few extra beats that I wish we could have had in there, with Leslie Jones,” he said. “There was a really fun sequence that we didn’t get to shoot, where Leslie Jones goes into a haunted FAO Schwarz and has to fight this giant Barbie doll.”

Despite the film’s box office not living up to expectations, and the overwhelming hate directed at the female-led film, Feig called out one particularly inspiring moment in the film’s lifespan.

“After we’d not done that great at the box office and all the trolls were celebrating, we won Best Feature Film at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards,” he said, adding that the film beat out heavy hitters like Star Wars: Rogue One and Captain America: Civil War. “After getting yelled at for three or four years about ‘thanks for ruining my childhood’ from a bunch of middle-aged guys, well maybe some kids in their actual childhood have something that they like now.”

A new Ghostbusters movie is currently in the works, this time as a direct sequel to the original films. Some of the original cast are returning, while Ant-Man’s Paul Rudd and Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard are newcomers to the franchise. You can check out the first trailer for the film here.

While most of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia co-creator Rob McElhenney’s attention is currently on his new game development workplace comedy Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, he has hinted that the Always Sunny gang will eventually deal with the COVID-19 crisis in some form.

In an interview about the production of Mythic Quest’s surprise quarantine episode, NME asked what a similar episode would have looked like if it was produced for Always Sunny instead. As McElhenney has been writing new Always Sunny episodes while in quarantine, he promised, “When we come back, don’t worry, we will address all this in the way only Sunny can!”

Though as McElhenney pointed out, Always Sunny does already have a quarantine episode: The Gang Gets Quarantined, which is episode seven of the show’s ninth season. The episode sees the gang locking themselves inside the pub to avoid a seasonal flu, and even plays on the hand sanitizer-mania we’ve now experienced in real life

With new show Mythic Quest now confirmed for a second season, McElhenney touched on the future of Always Sunny–and he still hopes it’ll be a long one. Unlike many TV shows that are now being planned for limited runs, McElhenney hopes his show will go on for as long as it possibly can. “If people keep watching it and we keep having fun, why would we ever stop? It’s my dream job. I never understand why people leave shows,” he told NME. “And if they keep paying me and the audience keeps watching it and I still love it… why would I ever stop?”

Minecraft Dungeons is a brand new spin-off from blockbuster crafting game Minecraft, but it’s pretty different to its source material. What I mean is, even if you’re a huge fan of Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons might not necessarily be what you’re expecting–instead of mining blocks, chopping down trees, and building all kinds of creative structures like you would in a building game like Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons is an action role-playing game. For those less acquainted with the genre, that means it involves the hacking and slashing of a lot of monsters and other bad things, taking inspiration from a variety of classic titles like the illustrious Diablo series.

Minecraft Dungeons tells the story of a bad guy called the Arch-Illager, who was ostracized by a group of mean Villagers because he looked a bit different to them–sort of like what happened to Shriek in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Anyway, he ended up becoming quite powerful, which radically accentuated the chip on his shoulder and made him reckon it was a good idea to set loads of villages on fire. Naturally, Minecraft Dungeons is all about your quest to stop him.

Once you’re up to speed, consider reading about our essential tips and tricks for playing Minecraft Dungeons, and keep an eye out for more nitty-gritty guides coming soon.

What Do You Do In Minecraft Dungeons?

To put it as plainly as possible: Minecraft Dungeons tasks you with making your way through areas–or dungeons, as the name suggests–which are populated with a variety of enemies. You’ll encounter the zombies, skeletons, and spiders you might recognize from the original Minecraft, as well as some fan-favorites like Endermen, but you’ll also meet lots of new enemies, most of whom are irritatingly powerful.

Each dungeon usually features a particularly strong boss at the end, too, and tons of unique and valuable loot to collect along the way. It sounds like there’s a lot going on, but it’s incredibly manageable and approachable.

When you get new items, you can experiment with different builds–maybe you want heavy armor that negates incoming damage, or fancy robes that make spellcasting far more efficient. You can enchant items by gaining enchantments points, which are earned every time you level up, and buy items from two traders who start to hang out at your camp after you beat the first couple of dungeons. It’s basically just this: go to a dungeon, fight monsters, collect treasure, go back to camp, see if you’ve got any better items, go to a dungeon, and the cycle repeats itself.

Why Are You Exploring Dungeons In Minecraft Dungeons?

The core reason as to why you fight monsters in Minecraft Dungeons is to protect innocent villagers who have lost, or are at risk of losing, their homes. All of these monsters are, in Minecraft Dungeons at least, the dastardly legionnaires of the nefarious Arch-Illager, who was once shunned by society and now seeks to dominate it after gaining access to the Orb of Dominance, a mysterious object imbued with deep and dark power.

As you make your way through the game, however, you’ll see that there’s more to this Orb than meets the eye. It’s possible that the Arch-Illager isn’t the baddie at all, but merely a frightened little puppet, ventriloquized by an ambiguous power against his will.

Although the story isn’t very complex–or really present at all, aside from a couple of sentences that preface each dungeon–the gist is that people are in trouble, and you’re the hero humanity needs to prevent the encroaching monster conquest. Detailed plot beats almost always fall secondary to moment-to-moment play, so while Minecraft Dungeons does feature a narrative structure, it’s not particularly fleshed out or absorbing–combat and exploration are what draw you into this world.

What Do You Actually Do In The Dungeons?

You obviously need to fight your way through dungeons, but there’s more nuance to it than just clicking on bad guys. In Minecraft Dungeons, you have a range of weapons at your disposal, from swords, to cutlasses, to sickles, to bows. Chaining these in interesting ways is what will allow you to create innovative and powerful builds–sometimes a light, speedy weapon enchanted with lightning will help you to dispel irritating, low-health mobs, whereas other times you’ll want a blazing axe to deal hefty damage to massive stone golems. Sometimes you’ll want to knock a firework arrow on your crossbow before firing five different technicolor shots into a swarm of enemies, which is particularly effective as well as being nice to look at.

It’s not just weapons, though. Aside from pointy things you use to fight monsters, you’ve also got interesting armor combinations to work with, as well as magical objects called artifacts–we’ll get into those later. You can enchant armor to set nearby enemies on fire, or increase your movement speed, or even deflect incoming projectiles. Once you get about halfway through the game, your armor sets will play a huge part in deciding whether you can actually beat a dungeon, in that playing without decent enchantments becomes incredibly difficult. So, you’ll really want to make sure you experiment with armor combinations, and create builds based on weapons and armor that complement one another.

Can I Play Minecraft Dungeons Without An Internet Connection?

While Minecraft Dungeons has an online mode–which makes progression remarkably easier–it’s also perfectly fine to play offline. I spent most of my time playing by myself and it’s just as fun that way, so if you don’t have a particularly strong internet connection or a whole lot of friends who are into Minecraft, you can just play offline.

In fact, you can beat the whole game without ever connecting to the internet. Admittedly, it might be slightly more tough to get through some of the later dungeons alone, but they’re certainly manageable, and I did the last three completely on my own. So don’t worry about ordering a fancy new router–once you’re able to install the game, you can play to your heart’s content without having to worry about the internet.

How Do You Get A Game Over In Minecraft Dungeons?

You only have four lives per expedition in Minecraft Dungeons, and while you don’t lose story progress with a game over, it’s frustrating to get right to the end of a dungeon, lose your last life, and have to start that same dungeon all over again.

If you want to know how to manage your lives well, check out our Essential Tips and Tricks guide, as that features pretty much all the relevant information for staying alive and beating dungeons without too much stress. Again, you’ll never have to start Minecraft Dungeons again right from the beginning, but game overs mean you lose all progress from your current expedition–except items, which you’ll get to keep.

Sometimes it’s actually worth pulling off a risky move to get a rare item, as you get to keep it even if you get a game over, and you can equip it before having another stab at the exact same dungeon, allowing you to try again with a more powerful arsenal.

What Are Artifacts In Minecraft Dungeons?

Earlier, I mentioned mysterious items called “artifacts.” Essentially, artifacts are versatile objects that operate in a similar capacity to spells from traditional RPGs. One might enable you to summon an animal companion, whereas another could generate a circular regenerative field, or emit an almighty bellow from a magical horn designed to push enemies several squares away from you.

You can equip three artifacts at any one time, meaning that you can select from a variety of different combinations. Experimenting with different builds is what ultimately makes or breaks a dungeon crawl–especially on higher difficulties, where the stakes are higher. In my experience, I often thought artifacts were more effective than weapons, so they’re not to be underestimated–especially if you can put together a powerful soul build.

How Do You Explore In Minecraft Dungeons?

Each area in Minecraft Dungeons has a linear route through, and the way forward is signposted with regularly placed quest markers. However, it’s sometimes worth totally ignoring the correct way through and focusing on blind exploration.

Sometimes, if you decide to go the wrong way you can find hidden areas that are packed with unique and powerful loot. Dungeons within dungeons you might say, that are off the beaten track but definitely worth visiting. So, if you’re doing quite well on your current run, don’t be afraid to ignore the correct way forward in order to investigate the map in its entirety–you might come out with an extra powerful weapon as a result!

What Do You Do With Emeralds In Minecraft Dungeons?

Early in the game, you’ll notice a currency called emeralds, which you can obtain from chests and enemy drops in dungeons. Early on, it might seem as if there’s very little to spend these spoils of war on, but you’ll eventually attract traders to your camp who sell a variety of weapons and artifacts.

The conceit is that you can’t buy specific items–it’s almost like a lottery, where you can choose to spend a certain amount of emeralds on a certain type of gear without quite knowing what you’re going to get. On top of this, there are only two traders in the game, a blacksmith and a wandering merchant. Each of these traders will offer you deals to purchase objects, but they’re randomized based on your level. The prices aren’t super steep, but you can easily waste all your money and miss what you’re looking for. So be sure to crack every emerald pot–brown vases with green embellishments–and check every enemy drop in case there’s cash laying about. You’ll run out sooner than you might think, despite feeling like an emerald-ionnaire at the beginning of the game.

Apart from that, boot up Minecraft Dungeons and have fun! If you like real-time action combat that enables a variety of builds, from ninja archer to nefarious mage, this could be for you. And it could be the gateway for those in your life who may not necessarily be acquainted with this sort of game. If you need a bit more help, check out our essential tricks and tips guide for Minecraft Dungeons.

The game’s simple, Minecraft-emphatic aesthetic is gorgeous, its music propels moment-to-moment play, and its systems are fairly easy to comprehend once you get a hang of them (which this guide should have you plenty ready for). Just make sure to explore off the beaten path, to experiment with builds–even if you have a favourite one!–and to be savvy with your emeralds.

Minecraft Dungeons is the latest adventure from Minecraft creator Mojang, and introduces a new spin on the classic Minecraft formula. Instead of tasking you with crafting structures from a variety of block types in first person, it asks you to roam a variety of dungeons in third-person view, defeating enemies along the way in order to reach the nefarious Arch-Illager’s castle and take him down once and for all.

Although Minecraft Dungeons is not the most difficult game, there are definitely some things you should take on board before booting it up–especially so if you’re a Minecraft fan who hasn’t got a lot of experience with dungeon-crawlers. Luckily, we’ve compiled a handy, spoiler-free guide for you to bring you up to speed while you’re waiting for Minecraft Dungeons to install.

In this guide, you’ll find the essential tips and tricks that we gleaned from our time playing the game. Once you think you’ve got a handle on the basics, stay tuned for more guides focussed on things like how the enchantment system works in Minecraft Dungeons. If this is the first you’ve heard about the Minecraft spinoff game and you have unanswered questions, consider reading our article that collates everything you need to know about Minecraft Dungeons.

How To Fight Mobs

One of the first things you’ll notice in Minecraft Dungeons is that mobs–huge groups of enemies who attack you all at once–are totally vicious. Instead of panicking and running away, it’s best to charge right in and tackle them head-on. This is because if you find yourself backed into a corner, it’s easy to become overwhelmed without any means of escape, whereas being aggressive on your own terms allows you to carve your way through enemies in a more methodical manner.

Basically, be sure to take mobs on in large chunks at your own pace, and with growing momentum. Also, don’t be afraid to mix things up: As well as your primary weapon, you have a bow, artifacts, and enchantable armor to accentuate your staying power–don’t worry, we’ll break all of those down in detail, too.

Spare No Enchantment Point

Enchantments are your bread and butter in Minecraft Dungeons. Every piece of weaponry and armor in the game can be assigned an enchantment–some rarer types can even hold three!

Enchantments generally offer a range of buffs designed to increase your overall power rating. One enchantment might speed up how quickly you reload your bow, while another could charge your armor with lightning dispelled with each and every strategic combat roll. Almost every enchantment in the game is viable for use, so it’s worth playing around with a few until you find a combination that works for you.

To actually apply enchantments to your items, you need to spend enchantment points. You gain one point every time you level up, but fret not: if you enchant an item, you can regain the enchantment points you invested in it by salvaging the item, which destroys it and nets you some cash, too. Basically, don’t be afraid to enchant items early on–you can sell them once you get better ones, getting a hefty amount of enchantment points back and allowing you to go wild with new, more powerful weapons and armor.

Use Your Bow And Arrow (Almost) All The Time

If you have used a bow and arrow in a video game before, you might be aware of how necessary it often is to be conservative with your quiver. Luckily, although arrows in Minecraft Dungeons aren’t quite infinite, they’re certainly farmable.

Replaying old levels at lower difficulties enables you to quickly and easily gain a crazy amount of arrows, so you should never be worried about zeroing out your quiver. Arrows are dropped by enemies, particularly skeletons, as well as brown chests labelled “Supplies.” So yes, arrows are easy to get–but here’s why they’re important.

Arrows are remarkably versatile in Minecraft Dungeons–on one hand, you can take out heavy enemies before they ever even come into melee distance, especially if you’ve got a bow enchanted with the ability to fire gigantic arrows or get bonus ricochet shots. At the same time, you can quickly snipe pesky mages who run away whenever you get in close enough to swing a sword. Don’t even get me started on bosses–arrows are your best friend here too.

Essentially, arrows are abundant, powerful, and extremely helpful–use them!

Chests Are Important

Chests in Minecraft Dungeons are quite difficult to come by, but they’re also well worth searching for.

Every individual area in Minecraft Dungeons has its own unique array of weapons, armor, and artifacts to uncover. Sometimes you might get a rare drop after defeating a miniboss like an Evoker or a Redstone Golem. However, the best way to nab unique loot, at least most of the time, is by choosing to actively ignore quest markers and exploring the unnecessary parts of Minecraft Dungeons’… dungeons.

There are different types of chests here, too. Often, you’ll find a supply chest, which is a sort of checkpoint marker designed to provide you with health-restoring food and a handy quiver full of extra arrows. But sometimes you’ll find a different kind of chest, which has the potential to contain unique weapons, armor, and artifacts that can’t be obtained anywhere else in the game.

If you’re struggling with a higher level dungeon, it’s worthwhile to train in one you have already cleared. And when doing so, you should make a conscious effort to explore every nook and cranny in the lower-level dungeon–it’s much easier now than it was before anyway, so you’ll probably be able to explore the entire map faster than your original linear run. Chest-hunting will ensure you’ll be wielding the strongest weapons, donning the best armor, and launching the most powerful arrows in no time. So don’t be afraid to retread old tracks–just make sure to pay extra attention if you do.

How To Jump Over Passages

Minecraft Dungeons has no dedicated jump button, so you might find yourself scratching your head once you see a deep and seemingly uncrossable chasm separating you from a fancy chest.

Don’t fret: if a drop is only a couple of squares wide, simply using the roll button in the direction of the chasm will allow you to access difficult-to-reach areas, which are often home to incredibly rare gear. Just don’t forget that a lot of these jumps are rigged so you get ambushed after opening said chest–the gear is always worth it, but you’ll want to make sure your preparations are airtight before committing.

However, if the gap looks pretty big, don’t even bother trying. You don’t lose a life from falling off the map, but you respawn with less health, which, when combined with the fact that you usually respawn mid-mob, is almost as bad as dying in the first place. By similar logic, little jumps, while certainly crossable, are not to be underestimated either–time them properly, or you’ll come back to life upset you even took a chance in the first place, listless, lootless, and about to be lifeless.

How To Best Approach Boss Fights In Minecraft Dungeons

There is one very, very important detail to remember about Minecraft Dungeons boss fights. If you lose a life, and it’s not your last one, you can try again from where you left off. So, if the boss only had a tiny sliver of health left when you died, for example, you’ll only need to land a single hit when you return to the arena, which you’ll respawn right outside of. It’s pretty convenient!

So, if you have two or three lives to play with, it’s actually worthwhile to experiment with some pretty radical strategies. Occasionally, killing yourself with TNT could be a really bold but ingenious move, in that it does devastating damage to the boss and you can come back to the fight fresh as a daisy.

Just remember to always keep an eye on your lives, because you only have four. If you’re on your last legs, you’ll want to prioritize avoiding all incoming damage and getting one or two hits in when it’s safe, Dark Souls style. TNT explosions are not recommended in these situations, obviously.

How To Prioritize Your Targets

Enemies in Minecraft Dungeons are versatile. You can kill some with one hit, whereas others can tank what seems like a million arrows. The less sturdy types are definitely the ones you need to get rid of first.

In Minecraft Dungeons, all enemies can deal damage to you, but only some can withstand it. If you focus all your energy on a heavily-armored enemy first and foremost, all of the easily-killed ones will simultaneously wail on you and you’ll be dead in no time. On the other hand, killing them with a single hit apiece will enable you to go one-on-one with the heavier lads, which really puts the odds in your favor. With swords, bows, and artifacts at your disposal, these slow-moving tanky types won’t stand a chance.

So, clear out the easy enemies first, and when there’s only one big, armor-clad villain left, they’ll essentially just be arrow fodder. Fight clever and you’ll never lose.

Break all of these rules if you see a mage, though. They should be killed first every time, no matter what, as they buff enemies until they’re almost unkillable. Honestly, if you see a mage, drop everything and go straight for them, even if it means making a beeline through the middle of a mob. They’re weak, so a single arrow will take them down, but make sure you actually shoot said arrow or you’ll have an incredibly tough fight on your hands.

Don’t Worry About “Recommended Power” Levels

There are two progression metrics in Minecraft Dungeons: character level, and power rating.

The truth is that neither one matters all that much. Levelling up nets you access to enchantment points, which are hugely important, but power mostly just denotes an almost arbitrary numeric recommendation for entering dungeons. I completed some level 22 dungeons at power level 16, but was defeated within minutes when I tried a level 16 dungeon shortly afterwards.

That’s why it’s important not to worry about power ratings too much. If a dungeon is recommended as 20 power, and you’re only at 12, it can still be worth a crack. Each piece of gear and equipment has a power rating, but higher power ratings don’t necessarily make them better items, meaning that an overall power level of 30 could be dramatically worse than another build ranked as 15.

The reason for this is mostly because each item has unique enchanting potential, so even though one axe might be rated as 12 power, it could have two enchantment slots, whereas a level 18 version might only have one. On top of that, because each enchantment is unique, the 18 axe might have a poor selection available, whereas the technically less valuable one could allow you to combine lightning attacks with soul absorption. What is soul absorption, you ask? Well…

How To Use A Soul Build In Minecraft Dungeons

This last tip isn’t completely necessary, but if you really, truly want to deal damage in Minecraft Dungeons, you can commit to a magical build based on something called “soul gathering.”

On top of standard armor in Minecraft Dungeons, you can collect rare Soul Robes that enable you to harvest the souls of the enemies you kill. Now, this might sound complex, and it is a little bit tough at first, but here’s the deal–Artifacts in Minecraft Dungeons are sort of like spells, which you can use instead of your weapons. Some allow you to summon a wolf or a llama, whereas others enable you to light your quiver on fire, or put down a special totem that will heal you mid-battle.

So what is soul damage? Well, the above artifacts can be used with any build, but certain soul artifacts function as reservoirs for the souls you collect. These artifacts do one of two things: deal damage, or regain health. It’s worth noting that Soul robes reduce artifact cooldown times, acting in a similar capacity to mage robes in traditional RPGs, and if you play smart, you’ll essentially have an infinite loop of devastating soul damage and last-ditch soul healing.

So, if you’ve gotten the hang of Minecraft Dungeons and want to try something a little more fun, deck yourself out in a nice soul outfit, equip a soul dagger and soul bow–which harvest souls quicker, as you might expect–and get your best magical soul artifacts in order. All of a sudden you’ll be nigh-invincible–just don’t forget any of the previous tips along the way.

Indiana Jones 5 hit a snag recently when director Steven Spielberg–who directed every previous Indiana Jones film–announced he was leaving the project. The movie is still happening, and Lucasfilm has brought on Logan and Walk the Line director James Mangold. Producer Frank Marshall has provided an update on how the movie is coming along, and it’s very early days.

Marshall told Collider that the writing process for Indiana Jones 5 only “just started.” He didn’t share any details on the script, but the last we heard, Jurassic Park writer David Koepp was attached as the screenwriter. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that Indiana Jones 5 will be a “continuation” of the series instead of a reboot, but no story details are confirmed yet.

Indiana Jones 5–or whatever Lucasfilm decides to call the movie–is scheduled to be released in theatres in 2022. Marshall told Collider that the COVID-19 crisis is likely to impact how the movie is made. He said he expects you won’t see “big crowd scenes” in film for some time. Additionally, the craft services department–which delivers food to cast and crew–will likely be eliminated, he said.

“The number one thing, obviously, is the safety of everybody–the cast, the crew, and all of us. So, we’re looking at the guidelines that are coming slowly, from the health experts and the studios and the different parts of the business, and we’re just trying to incorporate everything, so we can move forward and be safe,” he said. “It’s going to obviously slow things down, so we’re trying to adjust.”

Also in the interview, Marshall spoke about why Mangold is the right choice to direct Indiana Jones 5. He said Mangold has a deep appreciation for the series, and he’s familiar with Indiana Jones actor Harrison Ford, who is returning for this new movie.

“His love of the franchise,” Marshall said of Mangold. “He’s a wonderful filmmaker. I think he also has a relationship with Harrison. It was all of the right pieces coming together, at the right time.”

In addition to Walk the Line and Logan, Mangold directed Girl, Interrupted, 3:10 to Yuma, and Ford vs. Ferrari. He earned Oscar nominations for Logan (Best Adapted Screenplay) and Ford vs. Ferrari (Best Picture).

While Spielberg is no longer directing Indiana Jones 5, he’s on board as a producer.
