Margot Robbie, best known for her roles as Harley Quinn and Tonya Harding, has revealed the first look of her as Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino’s next film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Shared via Instagram, Robbie looks the part of Tate in the late ’60s. She’s wearing a black turtleneck, a short white skirt and fittingly tall go-go boots in front of an industrial door. If there were any doubt that this is Robbie as Tate, the hashtag #OnceUponATimeInHollywood sealed the deal.
In the midst of customer dissatisfaction, MoviePass announced Monday that it will keep their subscription price at $9.95, but will now have limitations on the number of movies members can see, according to Variety.
Starting Aug. 15, MoviePass customers will have their unlimited service cut to the offering of only three movies per month. The company will also offer subscribers up to a $5 discount on any additional tickets they purchase.
MoviePass said in a press release that only 15% of its members see four or more movies per month, so they expect the new subscription model will have no impact whatsoever on over 85% of their subscribers.
It’s the first episode of New Releases in August proper, which means Madden NFL 19 is here to represent the football preseason. Joining it on the field is Dead Cells, which is finally leaving Early Access, along with another helping of kitchen chaos in Overcooked 2. Nintendo Switch gets its own port of Okami HD, and Monster Hunter World finally makes the jump to PC. Those are the big games we’ll be playing this week!
Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch
If you’re looking to scratch that roguelite itch, Dead Cells delivers with a procedurally generated world full of super-tough enemies and bosses. Fortunately, successive runs will net you more gear and abilities to make the trek a little easier. You can also open up shortcuts to quickly get back to whatever trap or enemy felled you before.

Overcooked 2 is cranking up the heat in several ways. You can tackle the new recipes, restaurant themes, and levels with friends, contending with crazy new elements like moving floors, portals, and giant fires. At least the chefs can throw ingredients across the stage now, and you can take a swing at every challenge in online co-op.

The indie darling is coming to yet another platform, and the Switch version comes with the new controls you’d expect. You can use the touch screen or the Joy-Cons to control Amaterasu’s Celestial Brush. Okami HD is also playable in the original 4:3 if you want to change up the visuals.

Okami HD isn’t the only port dropping this week. Monster Hunter World finally comes to PC, letting you party up with your Steam friends to take down big beasts with the game’s 14 different weapon styles. It’ll have graphical parity with the PS4 and Xbox One versions at launch, and Capcom says future updates may let you crank up your system to make World look even better than its console cousins.

Another year, another Madden. The newest game sports “real player motion,” which will help your players maneuver much more realistically across the field. It’s also the first one to feature touchdown dances in some time, as the practice was only recently made legal in the NFL again. Longshot story mode is back, and Ultimate Team is getting new 3-on-3 matches and a leaderboard with rewards.

Next week, New Releases will return with another batch of August games. We’ll take a look at the next World of Warcraft expansion Battle for Azeroth, as well as the kickoff of Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season. And later in the month, we’ll return to the wild with Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
While comic book legend Todd McFarlane is perhaps best known for the demonic anti-hero Spawn, he also played a vital role in bringing the Spider-Man villain Venom to life. McFarlane worked for Marvel back in the late-’80s, and is credited as the co-creator of Eddie Brock, the character that was the first host for the alien symbiote. McFarlane’s work on The Amazing Spider-Man helped turn Venom from just a scary costume to a fully-formed supervillain, making McFarlane one of the most iconic artist/writers of the era.
With the Venom movie set for release in October, McFarlane took to Facebook to critique the movie’s representation of the character. In a new video, McFarlane is actually quite complimentary about the movie Venom, stating that he thinks it looks “pretty cool.” Nevertheless, McFarlane had a few adjustments to make to the freeze frame of Venom from the latest trailer, and set about making the character look distinctly scarier. Check it out below:
Venom hits theaters on October 5. The movie stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, plus Riz Ahmed, Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate, and Woody Harrelson. The new trailer was released week, and it gave us the first look at what appears to be Riot, another symbiote.
In related news, McFarlane is set to make his directorial debut with a movie reboot of Spawn. The film will star Jamie Foxx as the title character, and it will be produced by Blumhouse Films, the company behind Get Out, Paranormal Activity, and the Purge movies. It was also announced last month that Foxx will be joined by Avengers star Jeremy Renner. The film does not yet have a release date but McFarlane has previously stated that he wants it to have a hard-R rating and expects the budget to be between $10-12 million.
Black Panther has hit yet another major box office milestone, six months after its initial release.
Per Box Office Mojo, the MCU movie has now become the third film ever to cross $700 million in the US theater market. Black Panther now only trails behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936 million) and Avatar ($760 million).
Black Panther has also grossed roughly $646 million internationally, making for an estimated $1.346 billion global box office total. THR reports Disney and Marvel slightly increased the movie’s theater count so it’d successfully achieve the domestic record.
FX CEO John Landgraf has blamed Marvel for canceling Donald Glover’s adult animated Deadpool series.
Marvel ordered the “adult action-comedy” series last year, with brothers Donald and Stephen Glover (Atlanta) attached as showrunners, writers and executive producers. However, the project was canceled earlier this year with “creative differences” being cited as the main reason for the cancellation.
Per Deadline, Landgraf revealed that the decision to abandon the idea was solely Marvel’s. “Marvel controls the IP and the decisions around the IP,” Landgraf said. “It was their decision not to go forward with Donald and Stephen’s version, I personally liked it.”
A stunning new poster for the upcoming Bumblebee solo film has some Iron Giant vibes.

Football Manager 2019 is coming to PC on November 2, and in a series first, the title will include the German league this year.
Sports Interactive has announced a few new additions and changes, the biggest one being the acquisition of the DFL Bundesliga license for the first time in the history of the series. The iconic ‘Manager Man’ who has traditionally graced the cover of every game since 2005 has also been relegated to the dusty recesses of our memory, and is being replaced with “a manager’s eye view of the pitch as the gaffer and players head down the tunnel ahead of a big match.” The logo has also gotten a revamp.
Henry Cavill has told IGN that he’d be interested in the role of Geralt in Netflix’s forthcoming adaptation of The Witcher.
Cavill has been pretty open in the past about his love of Skyrim and World of Warcraft. (Famously he ignored a call from Zach Snyder to tell him he’d won the role of Superman in 2013’s Man of Steel because he was playing WoW.)
So at a recent junket for Mission: Impossible – Fallout, IGN asked Cavill what he was busy playing these days.
“The Witcher 3. I just replayed all the way through,” said Cavill. “Love that game. Really good game.”
