Independence Day director Roland Emmerich is currently working on Moonfall, an absurd-sounding film about a crew of folks who need to stop the moon from crashing into Earth. The film will star Josh Gad as unkempt genius KC Houseman, and now some new cast members have been announced.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring, Aquaman) is bringing his gravitas to the project. Wilson worked on Emmerich’s previous film, Midway, and clearly made an impression on the director. Wilson will play a former astronaut whose previous mission ended in tragedy, and who now holds the key to saving Earth (yes, it’s that kind of movie).

Halle Berry has also previously been announced as starring in the film, and Charlie Plummer (Looking For Alaska) has also joined the project. Berry will play a former colleague of Wilson’s character, while Plummer will portray his son in the movie.

Tony Hawk himself has spoken about the origins of the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 remasters and why he thinks the new games will help “turn the tide” of public opinion after the most recent games in the series were poorly received.

Speaking to IGN, Hawk said it was Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick was pitched the idea of the remasters. “We’ve been having talks over the years of the potential of it, and finally, I literally sat down with Bobby Kotick. We were actually talking about other things in regards to my charity, and he just casually threw out, ‘Why don’t we remake THPS?'” Hawk recalled. “And I said, ‘You don’t understand how many people ask me that.’ And he said, ‘Well, you know, we’ve had success with a couple of other remasters, so why don’t we think about it.'”

In 2017, Activision Blizzard management said more Activision game remasters would likely happen after the gigantic success of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. After that game, Activision released the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Crash Team Racing: Nitro-fueled remaster packages. Additionally, Activision recently launched Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered. On the Blizzard side, the company released a remastered version of Warcraft III, but it was a disappointment.

The writer of Jurassic Park has revealed the unexpected story of Samuel L. Jackson’s “hold onto your butts” line from the 1993 action movie.

David Koepp told CinemeBlend that the origins of the line are connected to the Robert Zemekicks movie Death Becomes Her, which he was writing at the same time as Jurassic Park. The ending to Death Becomes Her was testing very poorly, and there was no time for reshoots. Koepp said he remembers sitting with Zemeckis during this tough time, and Zemeckis said, “Hold onto your butts” in anticipation of a difficult road ahead for Death Becomes Her.

“I happened to be working on the [Jurassic Park script] at that time, and I was like, ‘Oh, I love that.’ I went back and I typed it into the script immediately, and then Sam Jackson said it,” Koepp said. “I don’t think I ever told Zemeckis that, but that’s his line.”

Australia’s borders are currently closed. Only Australian citizens, residents, and immediate family members can travel to Australia at this time. There are also varying levels of restrictions on domestic travel.

“While we can’t move forward with PAX Aus 2020 in the way that we normally would, we are finding new and exciting ways to connect you and the PAX community with your favourite content and creators,” continued the statement. “Stay tuned to our social media channels in the coming days as we start to announce more information.”

PAX Aus was the first PAX event hosted outside the US and has been held in Melbourne annually since its inception in 2013.

No new announcement has been made concerning PAX West. In April ReedPop announced that the expo would go forward as planned from September 4 to September 7 at the Seattle Convention Center, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s probably safe to say that the latest celebrity Twitter feud isn’t one that we saw coming. Ron Perlman of Hellboy fame has challenged senator Ted Cruz to a wrestling match, and he’ll make a donation of $50,000 to Black Lives Matter if Cruz says yes.

Perlman and Cruz have been arguing on Twitter for a few days now. The Hellboy actor had taken a crack at Republican congressman Jim Jordan a few days ago, prompting Cruz to offer $10,000 to a “non-political charity” of Perlman’s choice if he would take Jordan on in the ring.

One thing led to another, resulting in the latest tweet from Perlman where he offered up a donation so long as Cruz would agree to wrestle him. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, the two are still going at it, with Perlman doubling down on his offer to donate to Black Lives Matter so long as Cruz accepts his challenge.

Remothered: Broken Porcelain has revealed some of the horrors we can expect from it in a new trailer, and a release date has also been set. The game, which is a sequel to 2017’s Remothered: Tormented Fathers, will release August 25, 2020. It’s coming to Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The game, from Italian developer Stormind Games, makes some bold claims in the trailer, which tells viewers that they can “experience the most terrifying, most suspenseful, horror game of the year.” Judging from the trailer, it offers a more traditional survival horror experience than most other recent horror titles.

You can watch the trailer below and gauge whether you’ll be able to handle the scares offered up by Remothered: Broken Porcelain later this year.
