Resident Evil Village Leaks Are Finding Their Way Online, So Be Wary of Spoilers

Resident Evil Village will officially be released in May, but it appears that extensive leaks are starting to make their way onto the internet early. So be warned going forward as there are now spoilers abound the net.

As reported by Eurogamer, Capcom is taking down videos online with Resident Evil Village leaks. These aren’t just clips from The Maiden Resident Evil Village demo, but entirely new scenes showcasing encounters with Resident Evil Village’s popular Lady Alcina Dimitrescu.

These leaks, which we won’t detail here, are reportedly from a developer build of Resident Evil Village, likely related to the massive Capcom data hack.

Last November, Capcom was the victim of a massive ransomware attack from a group called the Ragnar Locker hacker group. The hackers claimed to have stolen a trove of information, including files and internal documents and demanded an $11 million bitcoin ransom.

The company’s upcoming release calendar and potentially 390,000 items of personal information were reportedly compromised. Despite this, Capcom has said there was “limited impact” from the attack and that an investigation into damages is ongoing.

That said, fans looking to stay free of Resident Evil Village spoilers should be extra cautious going forward. Leaks for major video games have seemingly increased in recent years as parts of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us Part 2 were both leaked ahead of the official release dates.

Buck Rogers: George Clooney to Exec Produce, Possibly Star in Legendary Series

George Clooney has reportedly come aboard to executive produce and possibly star in Buck Rogers, the planned Legendary limited series based on the iconic sci-fi hero.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, George Clooney will executive produce Buck Rogers along with his Smokehouse partner Grant Heslov. The trade cautions, however, that there’s no acting deal set yet for Clooney.

Should the Legendary series prove a success then THR claims an anime off-shoot will follow.

Brian K. Vaughn is scripting the series, which is being produced by Don Murphy and Susan Montford.

As originally conceived by Philip Francis Nowlan back in 1928, Buck Rogers is a U.S. military pilot who falls into a coma after being exposed to gas and wakes up in the 25th century. A comic strip and pulp fixture, Buck — along with allies Wilma Deering and Dr. Huer — fought cosmic villains such as the Mongols, Killer Kane, and Ardala.

Buck Rogers has previously been portrayed in a 12-part serial by Buster Crabbe and in a short-lived 1950s TV series by three different actors (Earl Hammond, Kem Dibbs, and Robert Pastene). Gil Gerard then played the title role in the 1979-81 TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

The character has also appeared in role-playing games and videogames.

Clooney is no stranger to sci-fi having starred in Solaris, Gravity, and most recently The Midnight Sky, which he also directed.

Titans Casts Third Robin, Tim Drake, For Season 3

Titans began with one Robin and quickly added another, and the second season ended with none. Titans Season 3 is set to remedy that as a third Robin, Tim Drake, joins the cast.

Actor Jay Lycurgo will recur during third season of Titans as Tim Drake, a third Robin who followed in the footsteps of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. According to Variety, HBO describes Drake as a “streetwise kid who’s managed to grow up on the toughest streets without losing his indelible belief in heroism.” He has an easy-going demeanor and a near-genius mind that allows him to excel as a detective.

This is interesting as it both seems to diverge from the comic book version of Drake while feeling pretty similar to Jason Todd as portrayed in Titans Season 2 by Curran Walters. While Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) was the first Robin and has been working through the trauma that came with that, Todd stepped into the role with a chip on his shoulder. As he hid out with Deathstroke’s daughter Rose, Todd tells her of his history of being abused and having to fend for himself while committing petty crimes before Bruce Wayne, adopter of child soldiers, took him in.

Armie Hammer Leaves TV Show About Making The Godfather

The Offer is an upcoming ten-episode series that takes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the iconic film The Godfather. Now, the Paramount+ series has lost its star. Armie Hammer, who had previously signed on to play Al Ruddy, the producer of the film, has exited the project.

The news comes from Variety as Hammer is alleged to have sent graphic messages to women online, some of which alluded to fantasies about abuse and cannibalism. None of the messages are verified to have been sent by Hammer and, in a statement via Variety, he said, “I’m not responding to these bulls*** claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that.”

The movie filming in the Dominican Republic is Shotgun Wedding, which he was set to star in alongside Jennifer Lopez. Josh Duhamel (Transformers) is believed to be replacing him in the role.

Rocket League’s Super Bowl LV Celebration Will Bring Gridiron Mode And More

To get ready for the biggest day in football, the NFL and Rocket League are teaming up to bring the Super Bowl LV Celebration event to Rocket League. The event will run from February 2-8 and will introduce a brand-new game mode, Event Challenges, and the return of the NFL Fan Pack.

Gridiron is the new limited-time game mode that transforms Champions Field into a football field for a four versus four match that mimics American football rules with a Rocket League twist. Instead of the regular Rocket League ball, Gridiron will have a replica of an American football which will stick to the top of your car when you touch it, rather than sticking to wherever you made contact like in Spike Rush mode.
