Game Of Thrones Showrunners Set To Cameo In Westworld Season 3

The showrunners of HBO’s Game of Thrones, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, are set to appear in Season 3 of Westworld. The duo will show up in episode 2 and play the roles of technicians at the very powerful and very shady Delos company that operates the Westworld theme park. (Think what Disney is to Disneyland.)

Westworld will release its third season on March 15 and will likely pick up at the end of Season 2 where a lot of the hosts have either died or gone to the “Valley Beyond.” Five hosts were also smuggled out into the real world by Dolores in a Host version of Charlotte Hale, but it’s unknown who they are.

Mortal Kombat 11 Is Free To Play On PS4 And Xbox One This Weekend

Mortal Kombat 11 was a fantastic conclusion to the modern trilogy’s story, but it’s also an incredible fighting game with a robust online community, and this weekend, you’ll be able to join them free of charge. Mortal Kombat 11 is free to play on PS4 and Xbox One from now until Monday, March 9. The best and most surprising part is that the free trial includes the latest DLC character, The Joker–normally, games don’t offer extra content during free periods.

If you’re interested in keeping Mortal Kombat 11 and playing past the weekend, then you’re in luck. Publisher Warner Bros. Interactive has discounted all versions of the game and the Kombat Pack, which comes with every DLC character announced so far–this includes Terminator T-800, The Joker, and the upcoming Spawn. You can grab the base game on either platform for $42, the Kombat Pack for $28, or the Premium Edition for $63. If you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live Gold, or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, then you’ll receive an even greater discount. Thankfully, the Steam version is discounted as well.

On top of that, Plus, Gold, or Game Pass Ultimate will give you access to Mortal Kombat 11’s online multiplayer portion. Being a fighting game, a large amount of the appeal is playing online against other players, but Mortal Kombat 11 puts a large focus on staying connected to the internet due to its loot system. Thankfully, without a subscription, you can still get loot as well as access the Krypt, AI battles, and most of the Towers of Time–there are specific co-operative towers you won’t be able to participate in.

Beauty And The Beast’s Gaston And LeFou Getting Disney Plus Series

Looks like Disney+ is about to tell another tale as old as time: Gaston and LeFou and how they met.

THR is reporting that Luke Evans and Josh Gad are returning to the French countryside once again in a limited prequel series to Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast film from 2017. Helmed by Once Upon A Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, with Gad also serving as co-creator, writer, and showrunner, the yet-to-be-named series will seemingly follow the early adventures of Gaston and LeFou. There’s no word yet on any other stars from the movie on making appearances.

Sources say the Beauty and the Beast prequel stemmed from Kitsis and Horowitz’s time working with Gad on the now-scrapped Muppets Live Another Day comedy series that was in the works, also for Disney+.
