Keanu Reeves showed up at NYCC today to debut a first look at his sci-fi film Replicas, the story of a scientist who wants to clone his dead family.

Disney’s upcoming animated feature Gigantic has been cancelled.

The news was revealed In an exclusive report from The Hollywood Reporter, citing issues with the creative process.

The movie, which was set to release in 2020, was understood to provide a modern spin on the famous Jack and the Beanstalk fable. Jack discovers a world of giants in the clouds, including the 60-foot-tall, 11-year-old Inma, who he agrees to help on her journey home.

 

Gigantic was being developed as a musical comedy, with Nathan Greno (Tangled) and Meg LeFauve (Inside Out) sharing directorial duties.

Assassin’s Creed Origins has the potential to be my next video game addiction. Let me explain.

This has happened twice so far in 2017. The first time was with Persona 5, which I ended up sinking nearly 100 hours into over the course of three weeks. I couldn’t tear myself away from its depiction of Tokyo, and the bonds I was forging with the characters that inhabited it. I wanted to learn everything there was about the people, places, and things in its world.

The second was more recent, with Destiny 2, but for very different reasons. With Bungie’s sequel, my inability to turn the game off stemmed from its constant IV drip of rewards and progression. I’d heard countless people talk about this over the past three years at work – the Fireteam Chat crew knows this all-too-well. But somehow, it finally hit me with Destiny 2, and for a solid two weeks, I was all-in.

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.

In service of fleshing out its two main characters, “The Boys’ Promise” rewinds time and spends a vast majority of the episode ten years in the past, serving up a backstory that, while touching, doesn’t feel especially novel or all that inspired.

So far, I’ve yet to feel truly invested in Asta and Yuno’s motivations for striving to become the Wizard King. Their motives are too cliched to foster any sense of a real emotional connection. Asta’s desire to make everyone happy and prove that anyone who works hard enough can achieve their dreams comes off as generic, and Yuno essentially parrots Asta, which makes his ambitions just as difficult to find compelling, if not more so.

For a score as iconic as The Walking Dead’s, the series is only just now getting an official soundtrack, timed to the zombie drama’s upcoming 100th episode.

Bear McCreary’s genre-defying score will be released by Lakeshore Record and Sparks & Shadows digitally and on CD on October 20th and on LP October 27th, and IGN has a first-listen for one of its most important tracks, “The Governor.”

“The sound of The Walking Dead has evolved many times over the course of the last 100 episodes, but never more radically at one moment than it did with the introduction of ‘The Governor’s Theme,'” McCreary said in a statement to IGN.

“The low-end synths that had been a very subtle background texture before were suddenly pushed to the forefront, and the score would never be the same. From this track onwards, the score would become increasingly seared by electronic textures. Our characters were never the same after they encountered this terrifying man, so I think its fitting his music had a permanent effect on the music of the show.”
