Lord Of The Rings TV Show Writer Gives Out Free Money On Twitter To Help With COVID-19 Relief

Veteran TV writer Gennifer Hutchison–whose credits include Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and the upcoming Lord of the Rings TV show for Amazon–is doing her part to help people facing hardship during the COVID-19 crisis.

For a period of time on Twitter, Hutchison was giving away $100 to everyone who replied to her tweet or sent her a DM. “The end of the month is always stressful, and pandemic makes it worse,” Hutchison wrote. “If you need a little help right now, let me know. No need to justify. I’ll take you at your word you could use the hand.”

Hutchison said she gave away $100 to as many people as she could before wrapping up. “If I didn’t get to you, I’m sorry. I’ll try to do this again if I can,” Hutchison wrote. “And if you have the means, please scroll the replies and send some folks a little help.”

Persona 5 Royal: How To Unlock The New Palace, Semester, And Content (Spoiler-Free)

Persona 5 Royal adds tons of new content, chief among them is the new third semester that also contains the ninth and final palace, all of which happen after the events of the original game. But it’s possible to miss all those features entirely if you don’t meet certain requirements. It’s an absolute must to see all the game has to offer, so here’s everything you need to do to unlock the new content, as spoiler free as possible.

The gist of this is that you need to rank up three separate Confidants to certain ranks before specific dates. Some of the ranks are gated by certain days and events, and if you don’t rank them up by then, you’ll miss out on extra gameplay and the new, major story arcs. We have everything detailed below.

Goro Akechi (Justice Confidant)

First, let’s start with Goro Akechi, the Justice arcana. In the original Persona 5, Akechi’s Confidant arc was tied to story events and was unmissable, but in P5R you choose to spend time with him. You’ll first meet Akechi in early June when you take the class field trip to the TV Station. This is an unmissable story event that kicks off rank 1.

Transformers’ Michael Bay Has Struck A Film And TV Deal With Sony

Michael Bay has set his production company Bay Films up for a multi-year first look deal with Sony, as reported by Deadline. This returns Michael Bay to Sony, which is where he got his start as a director with the original Bad Boys, and will see him directing and producing several films for the company.

Bay’s most recent film, 6 Underground, was one of the most popular releases on Netflix in 2019, and was viewed over 100 million times. He’s currently attached to direct Black Five for Sony, an ensemble drama based on his own idea, from a script written by Ehren Kruger (Top Gun: Maverick).

While Bay has had a career full of clunkers, there’s also plenty of bright spots in his filmography, including The Rock and Pain & Gain. His Transformers films were not received well critically, but they were huge successes, with two entries (Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction) grossing over $1 billion worldwide.

Bay will also produce television shows for Sony. While he’s mostly known for his work as a director, Bay has been successful as a TV producer for a while now, having previously served as an executive producer on shows like Amazon’s Jack Ryan, Black Sails, and The Last Ship.

No shows have been announced out of the deal as of yet, but production is stalled across Hollywood due to the COVID-19 pandemic–it might be a while before we learn more about what Michael Bay is working on.
