Gerard Butler Dodges Space Rocks In New Trailer For Disaster Movie Greenland
Gerard Butler has had to deal with a lot over the course of his movie career, including fighting the Persian army in 300, saving the President in Olympus Has Fallen, and stopping World War III in Hunter Killer. The upcoming disaster movie Greenland sees the actor try save his family while avoiding giant rocks falling from space. The new trailer for the film has now been released.
The Greenland trailer sets up the basic plot, in which scientists get predictions about an asteroid heading towards earth horribly wrong. Instead of breaking up and falling in the sea, city-levelling chunks of space rock are soon bombarding the planet. In the midst of the chaos, ordinary family guy John Garrity (Butler) must try to get his estranged wife and young son to Greenland, which is apparently safe from destruction. Problem is, everyone else has that plan too. Check the trailer out below:
Greenland also stars Morena Baccarin (Deadpool), Scott Glenn (Silence of the Lambs), Andrew B. Bachelor (The Babysitter), and Gary Weeks (Spider-Man: Homecoming). It’s helmed by Ric Roman Waugh, who previously directed Butler in last year’s action sequel Angel Has Fallen. It’s currently set to hit theaters on August 14.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons Summer Update Adds Swimming
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is getting the first part of its free summer content update on July 3, including the ability to swim and hunt for new marine life.
Wave 1 of the Summer Update will let you dive into the ocean from any edge of your island, and let you swim around in search of new marine life that you can donate to museum curator Blathers. This includes star fish (or, sea stars), anemone, and garden eels, as seen in the trailer below. Blathers will have plenty of facts to tell you about your new finds, as well. As per usual, we don’t suggest bringing him a bug unless you want to scare him.
The update will also introduce the mermaid crafting set, which can be obtained through interactions with Pascal. You’ll be able to get new DIY recipes from Pascal–a red sea otter that would appear weekly in previous Animal Crossing entries–by trading scallops with him, but it’s unclear if he’ll be around as sparsely as Redd (who was introduced in an earlier update). There’s also a new encounter with Gulliver, although exactly what that results in isn’t made clear.
PS4/PC Exclusivity Ends As Control’s DLC The Foundation Hits Xbox One
The first story DLC for Control, The Foundation, hit PC and PS4 in April. And there it stayed alone for a few months during the exclusivity period, but with that over you can now explore a new section of the Oldest House on Xbox One as well.
Developer Remedy noted the release on Twitter with an appropriately in-universe message style. The Board says there’s a Situation/Crisis/Uh-Oh that needs attending. The Foundation costs $15 individually or $25 as part of a season pass that will also include the second expansion, AWE.
AWE is said to be coming in late summer, and Remedy acknowledged “frustrations” with the Foundation exclusivity period in a note on Reddit. As a result, the AWE expansion will be released simultaneously on all platforms.

Henry Cavill Says He Hopes To Play Superman For “Years” To Come
Actor Henry Cavill is reportedly returning to play Superman again in a new film, and if he has his way, he’ll stick around for “years to come” in the role.
Speaking to Variety, Cavill said he was proud to play Superman in three films–Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Justice League. He said playing Superman has changed how fans see him, and he recognizes the responsibility attached to that.
“With a character like that, you carry the mantle with you off set. And it becomes part of your public representation. When you meet children, children don’t necessarily see me as Henry Cavill, but they might see Superman, and there’s a responsibility which comes with that,” Cavill explained. “Because it’s such a wonderful character, it’s actually a responsibility I’m happy to have, and I hope that I get to play more of Superman in years to come.”
