The financial woes continue for subscription service MoviePass. Parent company Helios and Matheson, CEO Ted Farnsworth, and CFO Stuart Benson are now being sued by shareholders over alleged false and misleading statements about its business prospects.

Deadline reports that shareholder Jeffrey Braxton filed the class action suit, claiming that he was misled by the company and suffered significant financial losses as a result. The suit claims the business model was unsustainable and that it was always inevitable that the parent company would run out of cash. It claims there was “no reasonable basis to believe” that MoviePass could monetize the model fast enough to maintain the business.

The company has been bleeding losses recently, having closed the most recent quarter with a reported operating loss of $126.6 million. HMNY has remained between $0.03 and $0.08 for the last week, after having fallen sharply in late July.

The sharpest stock drop came the week after the release of Mission Impossible: Fallout, when money problems with the subscription service led to it restricting tickets to blockbuster movies. It subsequently announced a change that would deny access to big new releases, then quickly changed course to offering access to new releases but only to three movies per month. Most recently, a report surfaced that MoviePass was subtly signing users back up after they had cancelled.

Gamescom 2018 in Europe may still be a few days away, but EA DICE is giving Battlefield fans something to cheer about early. After previously teasing the video, it has now unveiled the full Gamescom trailer for Battlefield V, coming in October on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It’s suitably epic, and may include a tease of the game’s anticipated battle royale mode.

The trailer, called Devastation of Rotterdam, shows just that; in a mix of cutscenes and gameplay footage, we see soldiers battling each other (and dodging a lot of gunfire and explosions) on the Dutch city’s crumbling streets while a haunting rendition of “House of the Rising Sun” plays in the background. The trailer also shows off tank warfare, both what it’s like to control one in the game and what it’s like to narrowly escape being blown up by one, and we get a glimpse of air combat.

Battlefield V’s developers have promised the game will feature emotional story missions, and no doubt surviving the brutal Battle of Rotterdam (which involved an intense Blitz by German planes) will be one of them. However the map looks like it would certainly lend itself to the game’s multiplayer.

The trailer takes an interesting turn towards the end, as well. After the initial part of the video ends, it cuts to shots of a ring of fire quickly closing in on soldiers (and tanks). It’s just a short tease, but could be our first glimpse at the game’s Battle Royale mode, which EA announced during E3 2018. You can get a look at an aerial shot of the ring of fire below.

We expect to see more about Battlefield V during Gamescom 2018 (and learn more about Battle Royale mode, hopefully). Battlefield V will release on October 19, but purchasing the Deluxe edition will get you access three days early, on October 16. In the meantime, PC players can check out the system requirements for the game, and check out our Battlefield V pre-order guide for more details on all the editions.

The weekly challenges for Fortnite have been refreshed on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile, which means there’s a new batch of Battle Stars to be earned. We’ve already put together a guide to all the Season 5, Week 6 challenges, along with a walkthrough of how to complete the Search Where The Stone Heads Are Looking challenge. However, there’s a second challenge in the latest batch that is a little more difficult than the rest. But never fear, we’ve got some tips that will help you through it.

The challenge is exclusive to the paid Battle Pass tier and asks players to complete five timed trials. This is the first challenge of its kind and involves collecting a number timer symbols within a certain location before the allotted time runs out. This is pretty easy on its own, but it’s not simply a case of running to them and grabbing them. Some of the timed trials are much easier if you build your way up to the collectible, so you’ll need to have resources handy. Others, meanwhile, can be done quicker by using an ATK, which doesn’t automatically spawn nearby, so you’ll have to hunt for one.

Thankfully, the trials are repeatable, so you can usually take a shot at one, get a feel for where the timer collectibles are placed, and then figure out what you need to get them all. Completing this is very much a case of trial and error, so set aside a little time to work through the process and get it done. Below you can find a map of where we found the Time Trials.

Once you’ve completed this week’s challenges, there’s still plenty of Battle Stars left to earn for those who haven’t managed to finish previous challenges. To make that easier for you, we’ve put together a round-up of guides for all Season 5’s challenges. Alternatively you can find the specific one you’re looking for below.

Developer Epic Games has released the full patch notes for Fortnite update 5.21, which has a couple of new Limited-Time Modes and a new weapon. The two modes include Soaring 50s, where players get to leap and glide around to their heart’s content, and Sniper Shootout, a mode where the new Heavy Sniper Rifle weapon can be used to pick off unsuspecting enemies.

It’s time for another round of Fortnite challenges, as we enter week six of season five. When you fire up the Battle Royale mode in Epic’s wildly popular game on PS4, PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or mobile, you’ll be greeted with a fresh selection of mini-quests to do so you can level up the Battle Pass and unlock some goodies. As with previous weeks, challenges are split up into two categories: Free and Battle Pass-exclusive. We’ve got all the information on the new challenges you need, and have also put together a guide to help you complete the harder ones.

The majority of the week’s challenges can be accomplished by simply doing what comes natural to Fortnite players. In the free section and you’ll need to deal 500 headshot damage to opponents, harvest 3,000 building resources with a pickaxe. The hardest challenge among the free ones, however, asks players to “search where the Stone Heads are looking.” To do this, you’ll need to find all the Stone Heads on the island, of which there are seven. Once you’ve found them, you’ll notice that they’re all staring at one location: Salty Springs. Specifically, the small hill west of Salty Springs. Of course, now that you know exactly where they’re looking, you don’t have to actually seek out the Stone Heads and can instead head straight to the Battle Star. You can use the map images below for a better idea of where to go or watch us do the challenge in the video above.

The remaining challenges are for those that have a paid-for Battle Pass and involve searching for seven chests in Lonely Lodge, getting two kills with a Minigun or Light Machine Gun, and also taking out three opponents in Tilted Towers. The final challenge in the paid tier involves completing five timed trials. You’ll get 6,000 XP for completing any four challenges, which shouldn’t be too difficult.

Fortnite Season 5, Week 6 Challenges

Free

• Deal headshot damage to opponents (500) — 5 Battle Stars
• Harvest building resources with a pickaxe (3,000) — 5 Battle Stars
• Search where the Stone Heads are looking (1) — 10 Battle Stars

• Complete timed trials (5) — 5 Battle Stars
• Minigun or Light Machine Gun eliminations (2) — 10 Battle Stars

In related news, Fortnite is now available on Android devices. However actually getting it is much harder than you might think, as it is not being distributed through the Google Play store. Check out our step-by-step guide on how to download Fortnite Android if you need a hand.

Epic Games released Fortnite update 5.21 on August 15 and introduced the Heavy Sniper Rifle, which is available as an Epic and Legendary version. In addition to the new weapon there are two new Limited Time Modes: Soaring 50s and Sniper Shootout.

Soaring 50s is a twist on the normal 50v50 mode that encourages players to be more mobile by allowing Gliders to be re-deployed. There’s also a number of extra Bounce Pads around to get players airborne. Sniper Shootout on the other hand is a little more subdued, with players doing battle using sniper rifles. However, since players are using the Heavy Sniper Rifle, things will get a bit messy.

If you’re still trying to complete challenges from previous weeks, take a look at the links below, where you’ll find guides on all of Season 5’s hardest challenges. You can also find recent news stories surrounding Fortnite below, if you need to get caught up on what’s been happening with the game lately.

The plot twist has long been a staple of horror. It’s a genre that relies on tension, mystery, and surprises, and how better to shock an audience than by making them question everything they’ve seen so far? Of course, it’s also something that’s very hard to get right.

Some of the best plot twists in horror are as famous as the movies themselves–films such as Psycho, The Sixth Sense, and Saw are famous for their shocking final revelations. These would be great films even if they didn’t deliver a twist, but those final plot revelations add to their effect, making them must-sees for fans of the genre.

Of course, for every one of those there are a dozen movies that get it badly wrong, delivering ridiculous, predictable, and laughable twists endings. There’s nothing worse than a plot twist that insults the viewers and actually diminishes the movie before. Better a film ends with a normal ending, with the good guys surviving and the villain defeated, than it tries a shocking plot-reversal that totally fails.

So here’s some of the very best twists in horror. Many of these are final reveals that change everything we thought we knew about the plot and characters. Some of them are more subtle, others come from absolutely nowhere, and there are even those that are very silly, but are so crazy that they work in adding to the fun of watching the movie.

Also, it goes without saying that there are big spoilers ahead–we’re going to tell you what happens in each of these movies. Let’s twist!

Microsoft has been saying for years now that it wants to get away from numbered Halo games, but some fans were still left scratching their heads when the new game was revealed at E3 as Halo: Infinite and not Halo 6. Now, 343’s Jeff Easterling has spoken up to stress that Halo: Infinite is Halo 6, even if it’s not specifically called that.

“It is Halo 6,” Easterling said during a recent Mixer broadcast. “You should just consider it Halo 6. Don’t think of it as a weird prequel kind of thing. It’s the next story. It’s the next chapter in what is going on.”

Studio head Chris Lee already confirmed that Halo: Infinite is a direct sequel to 2015’s Halo 5: Guardians. It’s also been confirmed that the new game will focus more on Master Chief, which is notable because Halo 5 split time between Chief and Agent Locke.

It’s good to hear 343 start to talk about what Halo: Infinite is, but we still have so much more we want to know. While the trailer at E3 was impressive, it was for the new game engine, Slipspace, and not the game itself. Microsoft has not yet shown any gameplay. There are also rumours that the game will release in at least two parts, with single-player arriving at the end of 2019 followed by multiplayer in 2020. None of this is confirmed at this point, however.

Intriguingly, 343 has said that the studio is “making changes to how we approach things” with Halo: Infinite. 343 is also hoping to take players to “new and unexpected directions” with the game. These vague statements could mean a number of things, and the possibilities are exciting to think about. It seems encouraging that 343 isn’t rushing things with Halo: Infinite, and while that game might not be out soon, Halo 5 and Halo: MCC continue to get new updates and refreshes on a semi-regular basis.

For more on everything we know about Halo: Infinite so far, check out GameSpot’s roundup of all the key pieces of news and rumours.

Fired Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn and Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn met recently to discuss the possibility Gunn coming back for Vol. 3, but Disney isn’t budging. That’s according to a report from Variety, which described the sit-down as only a “courtesy meeting.”

Sources told Variety that the meeting was “civil and professional,” but Horn refused to bring Gunn back for the third movie. Gunn and his talent agency reportedly tried hard to get him back in the director’s chair, but it won’t happen.

Marvel president Kevin Feige was traveling on Tuesday when the meeting was held, according to sources, so he wasn’t able to join. Feige reportedly is in agreement with Disney’s decision to not re-hire Gunn.

The report goes on to claim that Disney and Marvel will look for a new director in the time ahead, though whether or not the movie’s production schedule gets interrupted remains to be seen. Vol. 3 is pegged to start production in early 2019. The movie is expected to still use Gunn’s script, though there are a lot of moving pieces and Disney has made no official statement yet.

Dave Bautista, who plays Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, has said he will ask to be released from his contract if Marvel makes Vol. 3 without Gunn’s script.

Bautista, as well as Guardians castmates Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn, Vin Diesel, Pom Klementieff, and Michael Rooker all signed a letter of support for James Gunn in the wake of his firing. The statement doesn’t directly call for Gunn to be re-hired, but the actors collectively said, “Each of us looks forward to working with our friend James again in the future. His story isn’t over–not by a long shot.”

“There is little due process in the court of public opinion. James is likely not the last good person to be put on trial,” reads a line from the statement. “Given the growing political divide in this country, it’s safe to say instances like this will continue, although we hope Americans from across the political spectrum can ease up on the character assassinations and stop weaponizing mob mentality.”

Gunn was fired after some of his tweets from almost a decade ago surfaced in which he joked about rape and pedophilia.
