Apple TV+ has signed yet another major Hollywood production, announcing a new limited series called “Lisey’s Story” which is based on Stephen King’s book. The show has some serious talent behind it. In addition to being based on the writing of one of the most prolific and popular authors in history, the show is produced by entertainment giant JJ Abrams, with Oscar-winner Julianne Moore signed on to star alongside big-name actor Clive Owen.

Lisey’s Story is scheduled to debut this summer on Apple TV+. There will be eight episodes.

Lisey’s Story is described as a “deeply personal thriller” that follows the story of Lisey Landon (Moore) two years after the death of her novelist husband Scott Landon (Owen).

System Reaction’s co-op dinosaur shooter will finally be coming to Xbox Game Preview for Xbox One and Xbox Series X in Spring. Having already launched on Steam Early Access in October, Second Extinction throws teams of three players into a map where they have to hunt down dinosaurs that have resurfaced on the planet and have also undergone massive mutations.

Some dinosaurs have evolved to cover their bodies in thick plates of armor, others can spit acid at players, and some of these ancient beasts can even generate deadly blasts of bio-electricity when backed into a corner. Whichever beast you face, just know that they’re all clever girls.

You can see more of the game in action in the trailer below.

Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood have come forward to say there was no rivalry between the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings movies, despite reports saying the productions of the two blockbuster giants were contentious to some degree.

In Empire Magazine’s 20th anniversary interview with Radcliffe and Wood, both stars said that–at least from their perspective–there was no beef.

Wood said, “Certainly from our standpoint, no. It was just admiration of another significant saga that was being made concurrently by incredible filmmakers with an amazing cast.”

HBO Max has ordered a series based on an original concept by J.J. Abrams, with Jennifer Yale (Legion, Dexter) attached as showrunner. The title is a play on words, with the plot following a college student taking part as a subject in a clinical trial.

“This series follows a desperate college student who signs up for a clinical trial that begins a wild, harrowing, mind and reality-bending adventure,” the official synopsis reads. The show is set to be produced by J.J. Abrams’ company Bad Robot in association with Warner Bros. TV, with Bad Robot’s Ben Stephenson and Rachel Rusch Rich attached as executive producer and co-executive producer respectively.

“It’s been incredible fun weaving this rather insane yarn with Jenn, and I am grateful to her and everyone at HBO Max for the opportunity to bring this story to life,” Abrams said about the project.

There’s a new Mortal Kombat movie on the horizon for the first time in almost 25 years, and fans are anxious to see how it’ll turn out. While the original 1995 movie got mixed reactions from critics, it was a blockbuster hit that fans loved, so we’ve compared some of its iconic characters, moments, and special moves with the upcoming film.

The footage is taken from the first trailer for the new Mortal Kombat, which was officially released a little earlier than planned due to a version of the trailer being leaked. Some of the scenes mirror moments from the 1995 film surprisingly closely–though the new film is set to include much more blood and gore thanks to its R-rating.

The video compares how both movies have interpreted some of the franchise’s most iconic characters including Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero. Antagonist Shang Tsung is shown to be a little more subdued in the new version, while four-armed Goro has benefited a lot from 25 years of improvements in CGI.

Following a failed attempt in 2018, rapper Soulja Boy, perhaps best known for his song Crank That (Soulja Boy), is apparently gearing up to release another new game console.

On February 20, Soulja Boy tweeted “coming soon @SouljaGame.” When you go to @SouljaGame, the newest Tweet reads that they are “building a new console from scratch, all new design. All new games. All new deals. Let’s make history.”

There is also an Instagram account that has three images of this upcoming console, and not only does it look similar to an Xbox One S or Xbox Series S, the photos are also accompanied by a controller that looks very much like PS2’s DualShock 2.

As previously mentioned, Soulja Boy began selling SouljaGame branded consoles and handhelds in 2018, but they were quickly discovered to just be off-brand emulators that could be found elsewhere.

SouljaBoy stopped selling these systems less than a month after he began, admitting that he “had to boss up, I didn’t have a choice.”

The day before he stopped selling them, he wrote, in a now-deleted Tweet, “for anyone that thinks Nintendo is going to sue me… Nothings going to happen everything is legit. My console isn’t going anywhere trust me.”

While this new SouljaGame may have to go against the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, it also will have tough competition from the 4K, 240FPS KFConsole that comes packaged with a Chicken Chamber that will keep your chicken warm as you game.
