Even more Lord of the Rings games are now free for Amazon Prime members

Netflix might be controlling its spending a little bit now, but is also still looking to put out gigantic blockbusters that rarely hit the big screen. Up next, we have the Russo Brothers’ The Electric State, an adaptation of Simon Stålenhag’s 2018 illustrated novel of the same name.While the Russos’ The Gray Man didn’t resonate with critics nearly as well as everyone would’ve liked, it did well enough views-wise for Netflix, who remains quite interested in keeping the collaboration with the Marvel Studios legends going. If nothing changes, however, this will be their last Netflix-backed movie before returning to the MCU to tackle both Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Ever since the first-look images were rel…

Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis’ road to the big screen has been a bumpy one to say the least, and one has to wonder how many more scandals can befall it before its planned September 27 release date in the United States. The latest drama comes from a bunch of fabricated critic quotes plastered all over the new trailer that Lionsgate has put together.Following a less-than-ideal reception (only 53% of critics on RT gave it a thumbs up) at the Cannes Film Festival 2024, some crew members claimed that Coppola’s on-set behavior was unprofessional to say the least. These two snafus alone indicated the self-financed $120 million behemoth, which stars Adam Driver and many other big-name actors, could be facing a lot of trouble when it finally opens (it also struggled to find distribution), but …

Wake up, a new Helldivers 2 Major Order just arrived, and it’s promising the means to create “Orbital Napalm Barrages” if it’s successfully completed. What’ve you got to do to make sure that’s the case? Well, nick some plastic from the automatons.Yep, after everyone got very angry at Arrowhead for some changes that made fire-based weapons a bit less effective in the name of realism – a situation the studio’s already attempting to rectify with the subseqent fixes it’s deploying, the ability to drop highly flammable gelatinous liquid on Super Earth’s foes looks to be incoming.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings The fresh MO simply reads: “Liberate the Automaton stockpile of polystyrene on Vernen Wells and decommission the targeted number of Automatons t…

Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, the next film from the team behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, has received its first trailer and it looks like a movie alright.The thing about public domain is that it’s pretty much guaranteed that as soon as something enters it, you’ll have a horror version of it. Why that’s people’s first port of call, only they can say, but I know this fact of life to be true. That’s why quite soon after everyone’s favourite honey-loving bear became public domain, someone decided to make Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, a thoroughly mediocre film that so obviously exists purely because someone had to do it. A sequel is actually on the way sometime this year, but there’s already a trailer for the next film after that, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.To see this co…

It’d seem people still have plenty of passionate thoughts about Helldivers 2. That’s not news to anyone who’s been following the game’s recent trajectory and the various back-and-forths between devs and playerbase, but it might surprise you that a survey about the game’s pulled in “over 5,000 responses” in less than an hour during usual UK/EU working hours on a Monday.This comes not long after Arrowhead shared an update on how its 60-day plan to improve the game is progressing, with the studio having used that opportunity last week to put a proper release date on its next big patch.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Earlier today, September 9, a survey was shared by Arrowhead to both Helldivers 2’s Discord server and subreddit. It’s not a huge thing,…

It turns out the Watch Dogs movie is in production, and in fact has already wrapped on filming.Much like the Minecraft movie and the Borderlands movie, the Watch Dogs movie has been in the works for about a decade now, though unlike the Minecraft movie which finally received a trailer last week, and the Borderlands movie which was released last week (and was so abysmal that it got a digital release only three weeks after it came out in cinemas), we haven’t seen all that much of the Ubisoft adaptation. In fact, we haven’t really seen anything, though there were a couple of pieces of casting news earlier this year, as well as one bit this week. With that came a tweet from Ubisoft confirming that uh, filming has been completely finished on the film adaptation of Watch Dogs, though I somehow s…

Transformers is one of those properties that will probably be around forever in one way or another. Right now, it’s enjoying a new surge in popularity thanks to solid TV efforts in recent years and live-action movies that actually feel like Saturday morning cartoons. Up next, we also have Transformers One, the franchise’s first animated movie made for theaters in decades, so of course, we’re hearing more about the Cybertronians’ big screen future.Collider recently talked to veteran producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura about what’s next for Hasbro and Paramount Pictures’ big-screen efforts when it comes to one of their most reliable money-makers. The full interview packs a number of generous answers and is well worth a read, but we’ve picked the most interesting bits here, and I have some though…

Alan Wake 2’s highly-anticipated The Lake House DLC will be arriving in October on PS5, after a brief teaser trailer was showcased during today’s State of Play (September 24).In the short trailer for the expansion, which follows Night Springs, we see an eerie lake house, as the title aptly points to. Following that, though, we see an even creepier elevator leading into a fleshy, decrepit hall full of corpses. At the end, in typical Alan Wake style there’s a horrifying flash of the nightmare to come; an all-new Alan Wake DLC.Little is known about what the expansion will entail, but what we do know is that the DLC left Alan Wake 2’s composer “crying constantly”, so we can likely expect something that’ll pull at our heart strings from Remedy Entertainment this time around.…

Kingdom Hearts 4 was announced over two years ago, but apparently no one took the time to tell Sora’s English voice Haley Joel Osment.Back in April of 2022, for Kingdom Hearts’ 20th anniversary, Square Enix finally revealed that Kingdom Hearts 4 was in the works. It wasn’t a surprise that a new game is in the works, Kingdom Hearts 3 ended on quite the cliffhanger and Melody of Memory set that up even further, but in a recent interview with IGN, Sora’s voice actor Haley Joel Osment shared that he didn’t actually know the game was in development. “I hope that we hear something about [Kingdom Hearts 4] sometime soon, I guess it’s rumored that there’s going to be another one,” the actor told IGN.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “I’m always the last to …
