Prolific action stars Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger will stand side-by-side on the big screen. Though the two are attached, this isn’t a Rush Hour-Terminator crossover. Instead, The Mystery of the Dragon Seal: Journey to China is a fantasy movie that finally, after a few hiccups, has a release date–but only in China and Russia for now.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms the movie is headed to both China and Russia on August 16. While it wrapped up production in 2017 and sat in postproduction hell for a couple of years, Journey to China will finally make its way to theatres. Unfortunately, there’s no confirmation on when or if the fantasy movie will debut in other regions.

According to the THR story, Journey to China will feature “wizards, princesses, martial arts masters, and ‘the king of all dragons,'” with Chan and Schwarzenegger playing a master wizard and an imposing sea captain, respectively. The movie also stars Charles Dance (Ghostbusters), Christopher Fairbank (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1), Igor Jijikine (Forbidden Empire), and Martin Klebba (Jurassic World). Blade Runner star Rutger Hauer, who recently passed away, also appears in the movie.

Directed by Russian filmmaker Oleg Stepchenko, Journey to China is a sequel to his 2014 movie Forbidden Empire, a loose adaptation of a horror novella by a Russian writer named Nikolai Gogol. Journey to China sees British actor Jason Flemyng (X-Men: First Class) tasked with mapping the Russian Far East. Flemyng, who starred in Forbidden Empire, reprises his role as an 18th-century English explorer who travels east and encounters a plethora of dark mysteries along the way.

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled has stormed back into first place in the UK all-format physical sales charts, according to sales monitor Chart-Track. The remastered kart racer gets a little help from Amazon’s Prime Day to beat Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, though it should be noted the latter is a Switch exclusive while the former is also available on PS4 and Xbox One, so has a larger potential install base.

As a result of those two games’ strong chart performance, last week’s No.1, Super Mario Maker 2, drops to No.3 for the week ending July 20. Elsewhere, Chart-Track says Prime Day helped 34 of the top 40 games register an increase in sales over last week, with FIFA 19 (No.4), Red Dead Redemption 2 (No.5), and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (No.7) the main beneficiaries.

The new Marvel game fared well in our review; critic Richard Wakeling awarded it an 8/10. “More so than its predecessors, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order excels because of its character diversity and the ways its disparate heroes work together,” he wrote. “For this reason alone it’s an ideal co-op game, whether you’re playing with another friend in the same room or with three friends online, but the AI more than holds its own if you’re playing alone, too. It falters in places, but there’s still nothing quite like the Ultimate Alliance series, and this long-awaited third entry makes it a triumphant return for a superhero brawler that feels more relevant than ever.” Read more in our full Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order review.

You can read the full top 10 sales chart for this week below, courtesy of UKIE and GfK Chart-Track. Note this table does not include digital sales data, and so should not be considered representative of all UK game sales.

1. Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled
2. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order
3. Super Mario Maker 2
4. FIFA 19
5. Red Dead Redemption 2
6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
7. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

9. Spider-Man
10. Mortal Kombat 11

Sony’s US PlayStation Store summer sale went live just recently, and now the company’s European and Australian divisions have followed suit. There’s up to 60% off some big PS4 games in the sale, which is called the Summer Sale in Europe and the Winter Sale in Australia.

Spider-Man, for example, is currently down to £25 / $40 AU, which is convenient timing given the recent release of the new Spider-Man film, Far from Home. God of War‘s deluxe edition is the same price, while another PS4 exclusive, Days Gone, is down to £40 / $63 AU.

Rockstar’s big hitters have also seen their prices slashed. You can grab Red Dead Redemption 2 for £35 / $55 AU or Grand Theft Auto V‘s premium edition for £13 / $18 AU. And if you’re a sports fan, there are a few bargains to be found, like FIFA 19 at £16.79 / $28 AU or NBA 2K19 for £16 / $31 AU.

You can take a look at the full list of games on sale on the PlayStation Store. The promotion ends August 21, though Sony warns some titles will leave the sale before that date. On the other hand, new titles will be added on August 7.

There’s not too long left to grab July’s free PS Plus games on PS4, meanwhile. Detroit: Become Human and Horizon Chase Turbo are available through August 5.

At their Comic Con 2019 panel, Marvel Studios announced Phase Four of their Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, including the cast members who will be bringing these new heroes to life.

Here are the new faces of the MCU’s Phase Four.

Marvel Phase 4 Comic Con Panel

First up on the docket was the cast of Marvel’s Eternals, including Angelina Jolie (as Thena), Game of Thrones’ Richard Madden (Ikaris), Salma Hayek (Ajak), Kumail Nanjiani (Kingo), Brian Tyree Henry (Phastos), Lia McHugh (Sprite), Laruen Ridloff (Makkari), and Don Lee (Gilgamesh).

Next up was Simu Liu, who will be playing Shang-Chi in a new film focused on the Asian superhero. Liu will be joined in the film by Tony Leung (who will play the real Mandarin) and Awkwafina.

Joining Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange: The Multiverse of Madness is Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch.

Jeffrey Wright will voice The Watcher, a wildly powerful extraterrestrial being, in the Disney+ animated series What If…?, which will see a slew of MCU vets reprise their roles in animated form.

Perhaps one of the biggest cast announcements, even though it’s a returning role, is Natalie Portman’s return to the Thor franchise as Jane Foster’s female version of Thor.

She joins returning stars Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder.

For the upcoming Black Widow movie, Scarlett Johansson is being joined by David Harbour (as Red Guardian) and actress Florence Pugh (as Yelena), O.T. Fagbenle, and Rachel Weisz (as Melina).

Rounding out the evening was Oscar-winning actor (and former Luke Cage villain) Mahershala Ali, who will be playing Blade in an upcoming movie that Marvel has confirmed will not be a part of Phase Four (but, hey, Blade’s joining the MCU so he makes this list!).

Jeremy Renner will reprise his role as Hawkeye in a new Disney+ series of the same name, which will introduce Kate Bishop.

Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan will reprise their roles as Falcon and the Winter Soldier respectively for a similarly titled Disney+ series. Daniel Bruhl will also reprise his Civil War bd guy role as Zemo, who will wear a mask this time around.

Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olson are returning for a new series titled WandaVision, where they will be joined by Teyonah Parris in the role of the adult Monica Rambeau.

Tom Hiddleston will reprise his role as Loki on a new Disney+ series, which will see the God of Mischief back in his fully villainous days.

Make sure to check out everything we saw at Marvel’s panel at Comic Con 2019, as well as our interview with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Plus, read why Marvel chose to go with Mahershala Ali as their new Blade.

Marvel Phase 4: Official Lineup

A little more than a decade ago, the Max Payne

universe was adapted into a live-action film starring the likes of Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, and rapper Ludacris. It was, to put it mildly, received by fans with as much warmth as one of Max Payne’s many headshot victims. IGN called it “humdrum,” with not one memorable action sequence. Don’t blame anyone working at game studio Remedy Entertainment, though. On this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered, famed Max Payne 1 and 2 writer Sam Lake, who says Remedy wasn’t “involved in any way,” says he felt “detached” from the making of the film.“I was quite detached,” Lake told IGN. “[But] I was happy that there was a movie at that point. I think that was worth celebrating.”

Lake cited the differences between video game and film storytelling as one of the primary reasons he believes the Max Payne film flopped. He noted that the Max Payne games are themselves a video game tribute to noir films, creating a sort of twisted cycle to films influencing a game that then influence a film.

“The interesting thing to me is: What’s there because it’s a game and needed for the game?” Lake said. “What is the heart of this thing that should be carried over? But then how do we make it in this different medium to stand out on its own? That is an interesting question, and maybe that thought process didn’t go into making the Payne movie.”

You can hear Lake discuss more of the impact of Max Payne on Remedy and the video game industry, his desire to return to the Alan Wake franchise, and his own history as a legendary video game writer on this month’s full episode of IGN Unfiltered. Lake also discusses what it’s been like to write for Remedy’s upcoming game, Control.

Recent guests include Bethesda director Todd Howard, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, and Uncharted series writer and co-director Amy Hennig. You can find every episode here.

Joseph Knoop is a writer and producer for IGN, and he can’t believe that movie is only a decade old. Fly through the air with him on Twitter.

Netflix is closing out the summer strong with the return of some truly excellent Originals along with a new Dark Crystal prequel series called Age of Resistance.Mindhunter, GLOW, Dear White People, and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power all drop new episodes in August – plus you’ll get new installments of Nickelodeon’s Invader Zim and Rocko’s Modern Life.

In need of a new phone or tablet? Amazon is offering some top-notch deals on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 tablet and Samsung Galaxy S10e smartphone. These devices pack a lot of computing power, plus some of the highest-end screens and speakers on the market. Let’s quit jabbering and take a look at the deals.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 128GB is $80 Off

Click the coupon button on the page, and this 10.1-inch tablet drops to $249.99, the lowest price it’s ever been on Amazon. That’s a fantastic deal on a terrific tablet.

What makes this piece of tech so great? It has a crystal clear 10.1-inch display with thin bezels, giving it a nearly edge-to-edge picture. The speakers are also much better than you’d imagine, offering Dolby Atmos surround sound to make your Netflix and HBO videos even more immersive. Expanding the memory is a cinch with a microSD card, and the battery lasts up to 13 hours between charges. All that at a price like this: what’s not to love?

Samsung Galaxy S10e (Unlocked) is $200 Off

Not everyone likes a massive phone. Not only can big phones poke out of your pocket and be difficult to use one-handed, but they also cost a lot more. With a 5.8-inch screen, the Samsung Galaxy S10e is the sleekest model of the company’s flagship smartphone, and the 128GB model is on sale for $200 off retail price right now at Amazon.

It has a professional-grade camera and a gorgeous AMOLED “infinity display” that gently curves at the edges. It’s also easy to expand the onboard memory by inserting up to a 512GB microSD card. Still not convinced? Check out our 8.8/10 Samsung Galaxy S10 review for more details.
