After having not posted anything for nearly two years, the official Mafia franchise Twitter account tweeted out a single word on May 10: Family. The account hasn’t explained itself, but it suggests that previous reports of a remastered game could be true.

In early April, the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea apparently leaked Mafia 2: Definitive Edition, which Take-Two has still not announced. The original Mafia 2 game released in 2010 for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, making 2020 its 10^th anniversary, which would be an appropriate time for a remaster or remake.

Mafia 2 received better reviews than Mafia 3, which took the franchise in an even more grim direction but struggled with some of its open-world gameplay mechanics. GameSpot’s Mafia 2 review awarded the game an 8.5/10, while our Mafia 3 review gave the game a 6/10 when it released in 2016.

Today, WWE superstars will climb the corporate ladder to grab the brass rings in order to get a championship match contract at the Money in the Bank PPV. However, the “brass ring” is a gold briefcase and the “corporate ladder” is WWE Headquarters in Connecticut. And GameSpot will be covering the event later today, when Money in the Bank starts at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, WWE events cannot have a live audience present, so the wrestling promotion has been hosting its events at the Performance Center in Florida–which is where most of Wrestlemania 36 took place. Most of the MITB PPV will take place there except for the two MITB contract matches, which will happen simultaneously. How will that work out? We’ll find out later this evening.

Check out the match card for the event below. There are four championship matches and two MITB ladder matches, but the main issue is that there wasn’t a lot of build for the other matches on the card

Fan-fiction and other unauthorized adaptations can sometimes draw the ire of franchises’ original creators, but the Cyberpunk 2077 team has no qualms with a new and very impressive fan film’s teaser. Cyberpunk 2077: Phoenix Program is an upcoming project that looks professional enough to be official, and can you can see the teaser below.

A one-minute teaser for Phoenix Program was posted on May 9, and it contains characters we’ve seen in Cyberpunk 2077, including Johnny Silverhand. Played in the game by Keanu Reeves, actor Ben Bergmann has the look down, with bright red sunglasses and his signature long black hair. Bergmann has extensive experience cosplaying as CD Projekt Red’s Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series, as well.

The teaser shows brief snippets of several scenes, including an execution, an interrogation, and an elaborate nightclub shot. Silverhand gets to make use of his close-quarters combat and firearms skills like Reeves in John Wick, and the visual effects are very impressive.

LOTR’s Andy Serkis, who was in the midst of filming his role as Alfred Pennyworth in Matt Reeves’ The Batman when production shut down indefinitely due to the coronavirus, has confirmed the film’s overall darker tone.

While speaking to LAD Bible, Serkis was asked if fans should expect a “darker, broodier” Batman, to which Serkis chuckled and replied “I would say that’s not far from the truth.”

Devling into the story a little bit more, Serkis stated that “[The Batman] is very much about the emotional connection between Alfred and Bruce. That’s really at the center of it. And it is a really exquisite script that Matt has written.”

Serkis is the latest actor to portray Alfred in the movies, following fellow Brits Michael Gough, Michael Caine, and Jeremy Irons (and even TV’s Alan Napier, who appeared in the 1966 movie). “[Michael Caine] was fantastic,” Serkis said, when asked how he intended to follow those who came before him. “His Alfred was legendary, I couldn’t even begin to go there, really. You find it for yourself. It’s like playing these iconic roles in Shakespeare, you go back, you revisit them and you have to make it your own, and see what it is about the character that connects with you and your personal venn diagram.”

The Batman, now moved to an October 2021 release, is reportedly more of a noir-style, detective-driven story and an “odd throwback” to ’70s films Klute and Chinatown.
Andy Serkis also directed the Venom sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, which wrapped principal photography back in February, before the COVID-19 crisis shut most everything down, allowing Serkis to star in The Batman. We’ve got a running theory about Let There Be Carnage, that the film is strongly hinting at a villain far worse than Woody Harrelson’s Cletus Kasady.
