Bad Boys 4 Officially In The Works

Following a shockingly enjoyable third installment, Bad Boys For Life, Michael Bay’s cult classic franchise Bad Boys is on track for a fourth film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Writer Chris Bremner, who worked on Bad Boys For Life, has been tapped to write the script for the film. Stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are, naturally, expected to return. According to THR, the plan for the fourth film is to eliminate the “time lag” between installments, referencing the 17-year gap between Bad Boys II, released in 2003, and Bad Boys For Life in 2020. Of course, this likely means we’ll be seeing the return of some of the franchise’s newer characters introduced in For Life as well, like Venessa Hudgens, Charles Melton, and Alexander Ludwig–but a complete cast list for the project has yet to be revealed.

In GameSpot’s review of Bad Boy’s For Life, Chris E. Hayner said: “Ultimately, Bad Boys for Life is better than practically anyone could expect. While it would have been easy to rely on the nostalgia of seeing the iconic trio of Smith, Lawrence, and explosions on-screen together again, the new film strives to be so much more and manages to pull it off. And what’s more, it also provides a blueprint for what the franchise could become in the future, should audiences want to see more.

Bad Boys For Life hits theaters today, January 17, 2020.

Oscar Isaac To Star In Big Screen Adaptation Of Ex Machina

Hot off of a run on the latest Star Wars trilogy, actor Oscar Isaac has signed on to an adaptation of one of the best comic series of the early 21st century, Ex Machina–now called The Great Machine for the big screen.

Isaac has signed on to play the lead character Mitchell Hundred. In addition to starring, Isaac will also produce The Great Machine alongside Jason Spire and Vaughan.

In the Ex Machina comic–written by Brian K. Vaughan and drawn by Tony Harris–Hundred is the first and only superhero who becomes mayor of New York City after the events of 9/11. The book primarily revolves around politics, with the flashbacks to Hundred’s time as a superhero, The Great Machine–a superhuman who can talk to and control machines. The series ran for 50 issues at Wildstorm Comics, a DC Comics imprint.

In 2014, Isaac also starred in the Alex Garland film Ex Machina–a movie that has nothing to go with Vaughan and Harris’ comic. Obviously, the name of the comic has to be changed for the big screen, as it would be a bit confusing if there were two movies titled Ex Machina and both of them starred Isaac.

The Great Machine isn’t the only Vaughan adaptation coming soon. His brilliant comic series Y: The Last Man is coming to FX, but it’s still in pre-production. “It’s in pre production,” chairman or FX Networks and FX Productions John Landgraf explained at the TCA winter press tour. “Eliza Clark is is running that show with Brad Simpson and Nina Jacobson. We’ve seen, five [or] six scripts now. That’s that’s all I can say. We haven’t scheduled because it hasn’t gone into production yet. We changed showrunners and did a big sort of reboot on it and so that was a big redevelopment. But that seems to be going well.”

Mortal Kombat Animated Movie Perfectly Casts Johnny Cage

Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge is the latest animated feature under production from Warner Bros. Animation. Set to come out in the first half of 2020, the movie has cast two major characters.

Joel McHale (Community) and Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter) have joined the project to voice Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade respectively, according to The Hollywood Reporter. While we won’t see McHale on the big screen as Cage–as it’s an animated movie–his voice should do the Hollywood superstar/Earth-realm savior justice. Also, McHale totally looks a bit like Cage, so that’s a nice bonus. They’re joining a long list of familiar faces from the video game series–which you can see below.

Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge Cast:

Joel McHale as Johhny Cage
Jennifer Carpenter as Sonya Blade
Patrick Seitz as Scorpion and Hanzo Hasashi
Steve Blum as Sub-Zero
Jordan Rodrigues as Lui Kang
Robin Atkin Downes as Kano
Artt Butler as Shang Tsung
Darin De Paul as Quan Chi
David B. Mitchell as Raiden
Ike Amadi as Jax Briggs
Kevin Michael Richardson as Goro
Grey Griffin as Kitana

The upcoming movie is written by Jeremy Adams and will be directed by Ethan Spaulding: two creators who have worked with Warner Bros. Animation previous. Mortal Kombat’s Ed Boon is signed on as a creative consultant for the project.

At this time, there are no story details for the animated feature, but it’s a safe bet to say the film will revolve around the murder of Hanzo Hasashi, how he becomes Scorpion, and his return…for revenge.

Scorpion’s Revenge isn’t the only Mortal Kombat movie in the works. Warner Bros. has a live-action film underway, which is shooting in southern Australia. Most of the casting has been revealed, including Kano, Sonya, Sub-Zero, Lui Kang, and Jax. The live-action Mortal Kombat movie will arrive in March 2021, about a year after Scorpion’s Revenge.

Xbox One’s Elite Series 2 Controller Gets Rare Discount At Amazon

The Xbox One’s Elite Series 2 controller is one of my favourite pads and a huge improvement over the first Elite controller. It is quite an expensive piece of gaming tech, though, which makes it a bit of a hard sell for most gamers. However, if you’re subscribed to Amazon Prime, you can snag yourself an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller with a $20 discount.

While currently listed at $177.07, you’ll see the Prime-exclusive discount at checkout, dropping your price to $159.99. As usual, you’ll get free one- or two-day Prime shipping. Because this is Amazon, there’s no knowing exactly when this deal will end, so don’t wait if you’ve been holding out for a discount on the Elite Series 2.

The great thing about the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is that it works with PC as well as Xbox One, and Microsoft has confirmed it will also be compatible with Xbox Series X when that console launches later this year.

Some of the improvements from the first Elite controller include adjustable analog-stick tension, a third trigger stop, and two more customizable control presets, in addition to Bluetooth connectivity and a rechargeable USB-C battery that lasts upwards of 40 hours. The controller’s case even comes with a charging dock, giving you the ability to keep your controller covered and safe while it charges.

Catwoman Zoe Kravitz Offers An Update On The Batman

Between it’s stacked cast and interesting “detective-forward” concept, Matt Reeves’ upcoming Batman movie, The Batman, has fans justifiably excited. This afternoon at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Los Angeles, co-star Zoe Kravitz, who has been confirmed in the role of Catwoman aka Selina Kyle, was able to offer up a few updates as to the project’s progress while promoting her upcoming Hulu series, High Fidelity.

“She’s a great character. I’m very excited to play her. The script is wonderful, really grounded and deep and I can’t say more than that because I’ll get fired,” Kravitz said. “The whole Batman world has always been the most interesting to me. I think Catwoman is an iconic character. I was never into a lot of comic books but that world was always really intriguing to me. And then, of course, Michelle Pfeiffer and, you know, her performance is always super inspiring to me. So it just felt iconic and I think Catwoman/Selina Kyle represents really strong femininity and I’m excited to dive into that.”

She continued, explaining that she believes “femininity means power and I think it’s a different kind of power than masculine power. And that’s something I think is really interesting about Batman and Catwoman. I think Batman represents a very masculine power and Catwoman represents a very feminine power, slightly more complicated. And softer too. I like the idea that you can be soft, you can be gentle, and still be very powerful and so very dangerous.”

Kravitz will be joined by Robert Pattinson as Batman, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Jeffery Wright as Commissioner Gordon, Collin Farrell as The Penguin, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth. The Batman hits theaters on June 21, 2021.

Hulu Boss Gives Marvel’s Helstrom Update: Get Ready For Comic Book Horror

It was first announced last May that Hulu was developing a live-action TV show focused on the Marvel comics character Daimon Helstrom. While a release date hasn’t been announced, Hulu came to the TCA winter press tour with a bit of an update about how production on the series is going.

“We’re in production on Helstrom. I’ve seen the first four episodes of that as well [as the animated M.O.D.O.K.],” Craig Erwich, Hulu’s senior vice president of originals, revealed. “I’m really excited about it. And it’s definitely different corner of the Marvel Universe in terms of its horror.”

That’s right, Helstrom is a horror TV show set in the Marvel universe. Well, set in one of them. It’s still not clear if this or any of Hulu’s other Marvel projects are set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or not. The series follows siblings Damon (Tom Austen) and Ana Helstrom (Sydney Lemmon), the children of an alleged serial killer who are attempting to rid the world of demons and other supernatural horrors. Homeland alum Elizabeth Marvel plays Victoria Helstrom, the mother to the siblings that has recently completed a two-decade stint in a mental institution.

“It’s a really unique take on a horror show that has a very unique family situation at the center of it,” Erwich continued. It remains to be seen exactly how scary and graphic Helstrom will be. Given the subject matter, though, there’s plenty of room to delve into a truly dark corner of the Marvel universe.

As for when viewers will get to see it, Erwich wasn’t prepared to say just yet. However, he said the streaming service will be announcing premiere dates for this project, as well as M.O.D.O.K., “very soon.”

Fortnite Gnome Location: Where To Search Between Logjam Woodworks, Wooden Shack, And Bucket Tree

Fortnite has two new sets of challenges this week, each of which has one mission that asks you to search for a gnome that’s hidden somewhere around the island. In the Rippley Vs. Sludge set, you’ll need to search the hidden gnome found between Logjam Woodworks, a wooden shack, and a bucket tree. If you’re having trouble tracking it down, here’s where to find it.

Where Is The Hidden Gnome Location?

As the challenge clue states, the gnome you’re looking for is hidden somewhere between three objects. Each of these is located in the swamp in the southwestern corner of the island, so that should narrow down the search area considerably.

The easiest to find is Logjam Woodworks, the mill located in the western part of Weeping Woods. The wooden shack lies southwest of the mill, while the bucket tree–which is literally a small tree decorated with buckets–is southeast of the shack. That places the gnome inside a tree that’s between the three areas.

How To Complete The Challenge

Now that we know where the gnome is hidden, all you need to do is make your way to that area and interact with the gnome when you spot it to complete the challenge. Keep in mind, however, that the gnome won’t appear on the map until you’ve unlocked this mission, so you’ll first need to clear a few of the other Rippley Vs. Sludge challenges before you can find it.

As previously mentioned, there are two new sets of Fortnite challenges this week. The other is called 8-Ball Vs. Scratch, and it has its own gnome-related mission. If you need help tracking down that one, be sure to check out our other hidden gnome guide. You can also find maps and tips for earlier challenges from this season in our complete Fortnite Chapter 2 challenges roundup.

Quentin Tarantino to Direct Once Upon a Time Spinoff Series Bounty Law

Quentin Tarantino has revealed that he will direct the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spinoff series, Bounty Law, based on the fictional TV show within the Oscar-nominated movie.

Speaking to Deadline, Tarantino shared his plans to break out the Western drama, originally starring Rick Dalton as gunslinger Jake Cahill, to create a limited series with five half-hour episodes, which he plans to direct.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/28/once-upon-a-timein-hollywood-deleted-scene”]

“As far as the Bounty Law shows, I want to do that, but it will take me a year and a half,” he told the outlet. “It got an introduction from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but I don’t really consider it part of that movie even though it is. This is not about Rick Dalton playing Jake Cahill. It’s about Jake Cahill.”

Tarantino went on to discuss some of the influences behind the Bounty Law series that features in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, as he spoke about the classic Western TV shows that he watched to switch his mindset over to that genre.

“Where all this came from was, I ended up watching a bunch of Wanted, Dead or Alive, and The Rifleman, and Tales of Wells Fargo, these half-hour shows to get in the mindset of Bounty Law, the kind of show Rick was on,” he said. “I’d liked them before, but I got really into them. The concept of telling a dramatic story in half an hour. You watch and think, wow, there’s a helluva lot of storytelling going on in 22 minutes. I thought, I wonder if I can do that? I ended up writing five half-hour episodes. So I’ll do them, and I will direct all of them.”

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-gallery&captions=true”]

In addition to Bounty Law, we can expect to see more footage from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in the future, as Tarantino previously hinted that the full four-hour cut could be released “maybe in a year’s time.”

Meanwhile, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has been nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Original Screenplay, as well as Best Director. The comedy-drama was also a contributor to IGN’s Most Epic Movie Moments of 2019.

Hunt: Showdown Gets PS4 Release Date, Xbox Cross-Play Planned

Crytek has announced the release date and future plans for Hunt: Showdown on PlayStation 4, which includes cross-play with the Xbox One version.

The competitive bounty-hunting shooter will be available on PS4 from February 18, 2020. The physical version of the Xbox One version will be released on the same day.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/02/01/what-is-hunt-showdown”]

Crytek was able to move forward with the console versions thanks to bringing on publisher Koch Media who will be handling them going forward. This frees up Crytek so it can focus on developing updates for the game and handling the PC version.

“Update 1.2 is slated to bring random teams of three, an advanced tutorial, new Legendary Hunters, and new equipment and weapons across the board,” Crytek revealed. “Players can also expect server-side performance improvements, client CPU performance fixes, and a number of other general bug fixes.”

Beyond that update, Crytek says the plan is to add cross-play between the Xbox One and PS4 versions of Hunt: Showdown. There will also be a new map, solo PvE mode, live events, and outfit customisation.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”legacyId=20019367&captions=true”]

Hunt: Showdown is the latest game by Crysis and Far Cry 1 developer Crytek. It’s a competitive shooter in which 12 players – in teams or solo – try to track down and kill beasts and then reach the extraction point with the bounty. It’s especially exciting as players can choose to cooperate to then betray each other at any moment.

It came out on PC and Xbox One in 2019 after being in Early Access for a while. It started off with a single map that captured its 1895 Louisiana setting but since then has got a second map.
