Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark Sequel Coming, Based On A Guillermo Del Toro Story

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is getting a sequel. Deadline is reporting that the first film’s director, Andre Ovredal, will return for the second film, but it won’t necessarily adapt more of the short stories from the original book series.

The script, written by Dan and Kevin Hageman (The Lego Movie), will be based on a story written by Guillermo del Toro. del Toro, who won the Best Director Oscar in 2018 for The Shape of Water, produced the first film.

Exact details of what this story involves are being kept under wraps for now, but as the first film received a PG-13 rating, and the original books were aimed at children, we don’t expect anything too horrific. A release date has not been announced.

The first film was a success, bringing in $105 million worldwide on a $25 million budget. It received a 7/10 in GameSpot’s review, and was praised for “giving fans a fun thrill ride while also serving as a great gateway horror movie for kids to get terrified and then hooked for life to the genre.”

Anchorman Stars Reunite For New Apple TV Dark Comedy Series

Anchorman stars Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd are reuniting for a new dark comedy series for Apple TV+. Apple has secured the rights to a new show called “The Shrink Next Door,” which reunites the two actors for the first time since 2013’s Anchorman 2.

According to Variety, there was a bidding war for The Shrink Next Door, with “multiple platforms” seeking the rights before Apple closed the deal. Sources told the site that negotiations for the series were held virtually instead of in-person due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Shrink Next Door is based on the podcast of the same name that chronicles the real-life story of the relationship between a psychiatrist and his patient. Rudd plays the doctor, Dr. Isaac “Ike” Herschkopf and while Ferrell will star as his patient, Martin “Marty” Markowitz.

Super Mega Baseball 3 Gets Firm Release Date And Details Gameplay Improvements

Super Mega Baseball 3 has received a slight delay, but now has a firm release date. The game, originally announced for April, will come out on May 13, and developer Metalhead Software has released an in-depth video revealing the various ways the game has improved on its predecessors.

The biggest changes, the video promises, are to base stealing and pick-off mechanics. Base runners now take off immediately when you press the steal button, so timing your move against what the pitcher is doing matters more. If you’re pitching, you can perform a pick-off with a press of the D-Pad (to indicate which base you’re throwing to), and whether the player is safe or not will depend on whether they’ve pressed the steal button.

Player traits have been added too, and they’ll change how each individual plays. It might be that a pitcher’s accuracy drops over time, for instance, or a batter is better at a specific kind of shot. There’s also a new dynamic swing reticule, so players will have a better visualization of exactly where and how they’ll hit the ball.

New pitcher role types have been added, while fielders have also been reworked in line with feedback the developers got from the second game. You’ll be able to experience all of this across the game’s new Franchise mode, where you guide a team through multiple seasons.

Super Mega Baseball 3 will receive both a demo and a trial version, the latter of which will let you play unlimited games in the competitive online Pennant Race mode, which will keep the game’s online mode occupied during the launch period.

Super Mega Baseball 3 is coming to PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC, with cross-platform play. It will retail for $45.
