Paul Feig, director of the 2016 Ghostbusters, recently sat down with Collider to chat about his work, revealing some interesting details on why the Ghostbusters reboot happened the way it did.

From Feig’s telling of it, Sony Pictures was courting him for some time to direct a new Ghostbusters movie, and even had a script for a direct sequel to the originals. Feig didn’t like the idea; with only two of the original cast members returning, he said it would have felt like “them handing off their legacy to somebody else.”

It seems like Sony struggled to struggled to find a director interested in this sequel, with Sony Pictures’ Amy Pascal asking Feig, “Why doesn’t anybody want to do this?”

EA Sports and the NFL are going to extend their deal to keep making more Madden games for years to come. That’s according to a report from Sports Business Daily and information from Albert Breer of MMBQ (see the tweet below). They both say the NFL owners will vote this week to give EA exclusive rights to making simulation football games through the 2025 season. According to the reports, the new deal could extend to the 2026 NFL season if the game series reaches “certain revenue goals.”

The deal between EA and the NFL will also reportedly give the game developer non-exclusive rights to arcade-style NFL games in addition to “embedded companion apps/modes.” EA’s deal with the NFL is currently set to expire at the end of the 2021 season.

This new deal comes not long after the NFL and Take-Two reached their own deal for non-simulation NFL games. 2K’s first new NFL game under its own contract won’t be released for some time. EA remains the only company that can develop officially licensed simulation football games.

While most of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia co-creator Rob McElhenney’s attention is currently on his new game development workplace comedy Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, he has hinted that the Always Sunny gang will eventually deal with the COVID-19 crisis in some form.

In an interview about the production of Mythic Quest’s surprise quarantine episode, NME asked what a similar episode would have looked like if it was produced for Always Sunny instead. As McElhenney has been writing new Always Sunny episodes while in quarantine, he promised, “When we come back, don’t worry, we will address all this in the way only Sunny can!”

Though as McElhenney pointed out, Always Sunny does already have a quarantine episode: The Gang Gets Quarantined, which is episode seven of the show’s ninth season. The episode sees the gang locking themselves inside the pub to avoid a seasonal flu, and even plays on the hand sanitizer-mania we’ve now experienced in real life

Minecraft Dungeons is a brand new spin-off from blockbuster crafting game Minecraft, but it’s pretty different to its source material. What I mean is, even if you’re a huge fan of Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons might not necessarily be what you’re expecting–instead of mining blocks, chopping down trees, and building all kinds of creative structures like you would in a building game like Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons is an action role-playing game. For those less acquainted with the genre, that means it involves the hacking and slashing of a lot of monsters and other bad things, taking inspiration from a variety of classic titles like the illustrious Diablo series.

Minecraft Dungeons tells the story of a bad guy called the Arch-Illager, who was ostracized by a group of mean Villagers because he looked a bit different to them–sort of like what happened to Shriek in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Anyway, he ended up becoming quite powerful, which radically accentuated the chip on his shoulder and made him reckon it was a good idea to set loads of villages on fire. Naturally, Minecraft Dungeons is all about your quest to stop him.

Once you’re up to speed, consider reading about our essential tips and tricks for playing Minecraft Dungeons, and keep an eye out for more nitty-gritty guides coming soon.

Mafia III: Definitive Edition, the newly released version of Mafia III that includes all of the game’s DLC, seems to include a new asset within it. Files have been discovered within the game that show off a map of Berlin, and although it’s missing textures, the full town map seems to be in there.

On YouTube, Sliderv2 has posted a video (as seen on Resetera) exploring the map as Mafia III protagonist Lincoln Clay, showing it from both the air and ground. While the video does not explain how the map was accessed, it lines up with earlier reports about a cancelled game by developer Hanger 13.

A 2018 report on Kotaku about the developer outlined their plans for a new game, Rhapsody, which would be an 80s-set spy game that saw you playing a Russian Jew out for revenge for the murder of their parents.

Indiana Jones 5 hit a snag recently when director Steven Spielberg–who directed every previous Indiana Jones film–announced he was leaving the project. The movie is still happening, and Lucasfilm has brought on Logan and Walk the Line director James Mangold. Producer Frank Marshall has provided an update on how the movie is coming along, and it’s very early days.

Marshall told Collider that the writing process for Indiana Jones 5 only “just started.” He didn’t share any details on the script, but the last we heard, Jurassic Park writer David Koepp was attached as the screenwriter. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed that Indiana Jones 5 will be a “continuation” of the series instead of a reboot, but no story details are confirmed yet.

Indiana Jones 5–or whatever Lucasfilm decides to call the movie–is scheduled to be released in theatres in 2022. Marshall told Collider that the COVID-19 crisis is likely to impact how the movie is made. He said he expects you won’t see “big crowd scenes” in film for some time. Additionally, the craft services department–which delivers food to cast and crew–will likely be eliminated, he said.
