Every Joker Movie First Look Photo

There have been four big screen, live-action incarnations of the Joker in the last three decades, and each first look has provoked a different response — and each seemingly more divisive among fandom than the last.

The first look at Joaquin Phoenix in full clown makeup in Todd Phillips’ standalone Joker movie is only the latest example of that, and will almost certainly not be the last.

The respective first looks at the Jokers played by Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, and now Joaquin Phoenix were released in different ways depending on the media of their time. Nicholson’s debuted in traditional print media, Ledger’s was revealed via viral marketing, while both Leto and Phoenix’s debuted via social media.

Telltale Confirms ‘Majority Studio Closure’ and Layoffs, Fate of Future Projects in Limbo

Update: In a statement issued to IGN, Telltale Games confirmed it has “made the difficult decision to begin a majority studio closure following a year marked by insurmountable challenges.” The studio also confirmed it’ll retain 25 employees to “fulfill the company’s obligations to its board and partners.”

Here’s Telltale Games CEO Pete Hawley’s full statement:

It’s been an incredibly difficult year for Telltale as we worked to set the company on a new course. Unfortunately, we ran out of time trying to get there. We released some of our best content this year and received a tremendous amount of positive feedback, but ultimately, that did not translate to sales. With a heavy heart, we watch our friends leave today to spread our brand of storytelling across the games industry.

Monster Hunter Movie Will Have ‘Bloody Big Monsters,’ Says Director

Back in May, we learned that Capcom’s popular RPG, Monster Hunter, will be making its big screen debut with Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich cast in the leading role. Also attached to the project is Jovovich’s husband, Paul W.S. Anderson (Event Horizon), who will direct the live-action adaptation.

While speaking with Anderson about his upcoming YouTube original sci-fi horror series, Origin, the director shed some light on the Monster Hunter film and what we can expect to see when it hits theaters. “There are some bloody big monsters in it, I can tell you that, Anderson said, adding, “we have some very very big monsters.”

Marvel’s The Eternals Lands Director

It looks like the upcoming Marvel film The Eternals has found its director in Chloé Zhao.

This news comes from Variety, which reports that Zhao’s meeting with executives at Marvel impressed them so much that they acted quickly to book her as director before she became tied up in other films. Zhao is known for directing The Rider, a critically acclaimed western drama that won the Art Cinema Award at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for four Spirit Awards.

Reports show that cousins Matthew and Ryan Firpo are writing the script and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is on board to produce. Created by Jack Kirby, The Eternals are an ancient race created by the cosmic Celestials who performed genetic experiments on early humans, effectively creating the first super-humans. This also created evil counterparts known as Deviants.

5 Games to Play After Spider-Man PS4

With Marvel’s Spider-Man’s initial release now a couple weeks behind us, it’s very possible you’ve already beaten and even platinumed Insomniac Games superhero adventure.

So, if you’ve already completed Peter Parker’s PS4 outing, the cast of IGN’s Beyond!, our weekly PlayStation show, dove into the topic of what to play next. Yes, they cover the obvious if you’re looking for more superhero games and haven’t picked up the Batman: Arkham franchise. But, beyond (Beyond!) that, the cast dives into some other games that capture similar gameplay, tone, and offer a history lesson on Insomniac Games’ pre-Spider-Man work.

If you have finished Marvel’s Spider-Man, be sure to check out IGN’s Spider-Man spoilercast with the game’s creative director, Bryan Intihar, and dive into the latest episode of Beyond to watch the cast speculate about whether Insomniac is already teasing its next game.

Child’s Play Reboot: First Look at the New Chucky

More details on the upcoming Child’s Play reboot have been revealed, alongside the first image of the horror film’s killer doll.

The upcoming film, simply titled Child’s Play, seems to follow a plot similar to the 1988 original. In the reboot, a mother named Karen (played by Aubrey Plaza) gives her son Andy (played by Gabriel Bateman) a toy doll, though both aren’t aware of its evil nature.

The film also stars Atlanta’s Brian Tyree Henry as Mike, and though this character’s full name hasn’t been revealed, Detective Mike Norris was the name of the homicide police detective attached to solving the mysterious murders committed by Chucky in the original Child’s Play. Karen and Andy were also the names of the mother and son used in the first film.

What Happens To Blackout When the Next Call of Duty Comes Out?

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 isn’t out yet, but the next Call of Duty after it is only 13 months away.

That’s not based on any industry leaks or insider info, it’s just an assumption that’s about as safe to make as “the sun will rise tomorrow.” It’s also a thought that was hanging over my head like a raincloud while I played the PC beta of the Blackout battle royale mode this past weekend.

I seriously enjoyed Blackout, far more than I expected to. It’s one of the most refined battle royales I’ve played, rooted squarely in Call of Duty’s FPS core instead of the survival games Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds finds its lineage in. You can check out our more detailed impressions from the beta here, and while I had a ton of fun during it, I have my doubts about whether or not being ‘fun’ will be enough.
