BATTLE FOR THE GRID Gets a PC Release Date

Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is finally making its way to PC after many months of waiting. While fans have been waiting (probably pretty impatiently) for the release, It will probably end up being for the best. After all, when the game was first released, there was a lot of content missing which made it feel very incomplete and many quickly lost interest it seems. However, over the past few months, nWay and Hasbro have been adding more and more content that probably should’ve been there since launch such as the complete Story Mode, online play with friends, 3 additional characters, and voice acting. Now, the game feels more cohesive and like a fully-fledged game. Yes, it still would be nice to have more than 12 characters without paying for DLC, but 12 is a lot better than the original 9 we got.

If you’ve been waiting for the PC release, it will be available on Steam starting September 24. The base game will run $19.99 with pre-orders also getting the Green Ranger V2 skin and the Season One Pass is also available for $14.99 which will give players three new characters. One final bonus of the PC version is that it allows cross-play and cross-progression with the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. What are you playing Battle for the Grid on?

This September, BOOM! Studios is releasing a tie-in comic series for Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance via their Archaia imprint. The comics will lead into the Netflix series, so they’re more of a prequel than the prequel. The series will run for 12 issues and is written by Nicole Adelfinger with art from Matias Basla. Here’s the synopsis:

“Meet Maudra Vala of the Stonewood Clan, mother of young rebel Maudra Fara, and a Gelfling leader trying to save her people from complete destruction. The terrifying Arathim, giant spiders and the Gelfling’s sworn enemies, have swarmed the land, wreaking destruction and chaos everywhere between Gelfling clans and Arathim as they battle for dominance over the forests and caves of Thra. Maudra Vala sends her greatest warrior, Ordon, to the Tomb of Relics to retrieve a mythical weapon that could be the key to winning the war. But the path to the legendary relic is riddled with secret traps and hidden dangers. Will even Ordon, greatest of Gelfling warriors, be able to make his way alone to the Stonewood Clan’s last hope for survival?”

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance #1 will drop on September 25 at your favorite location to purchase comics and you can check out a preview below including a timeline that explains where everything lands for what is becoming The Dark Crystal franchise.

Bob Odenkirk Confirms The BREAKING BAD Movie is Already Finished Shooting

We’ve got a new update to share with you regarding Vince Gilligan’s Breaking Bad movie thanks to Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk. He confirmed in an interview with THR that the movie has already completed shooting! This is the first time we’ve heard this news, but he’s acting like it should be common knowledge. Here’s what he said:

“I don’t know what people know and don’t know. I find it hard to believe you don’t know it was shot. They did it. You know what I mean? How is that a secret? But it is. They’ve done an amazing job of keeping it a secret.”

Yeah they have! While not much is known about the story the film will tell, we do know the story will continue the journey of Aaron Paul’s character, Jesse. The story is aimed to follow his “escape from Albuquerque following the bloody events of the series finale.”

The film is also said to feature the return of Bryan Cranston as Walter White in some capacity along with several other members of the original cast. You can read more about that here, but there’s no solid confirmation on what to expect from the movie.

I’m just curious to see how exactly the continuation of Jesse’s story will play out. I loved the end of the Breaking Bad series. I thought it was great, but I guess Gilligan feels there’s more story to tell.

What do you hope to see from the movie? How do you think the story will play out?

The movie will premiere on Netflix before it ends up hitting AMC.

Saban Films have acquired North American rights to director Darren Lynn Bousman’s (Saw franchise, Repo! The Genetic Opera) Death of Me, starring Maggie Q (Nikita, Divergent franchise) and Luke Hemsworth (Thor: Ragnarok, Westworld).

Death of Me centers on a couple on an exotic holiday who awaken one morning with a hangover and no recollection of what transpired. When playing back the video of their previous night, they learn they participated in a ritual that somehow ended with the husband murdering the wife — though she’s actually very much alive.

The movie was written by Ari Margolis (Black Days), James Morley III (Black Days, Intrepid) and David Tish (Blood Money).

“Darren has been a staple in the horror genre from early on with the Saw franchise, and we are thrilled to be partnering with him on his latest film,” said Saban Films’ Bill Bromiley. “The suspense and chemistry that Maggie and Luke bring to the screen will keep audiences enraptured through this wild ride.”

“We’re thrilled to be working with Saban again,” said EMA’s Lee Nelson. “They’ve proven to be a great destination for producers like us who are interested in bringing quality concept-driven material to the marketplace.”

Ness Saban negotiated the deal for Saban Films along with Nate Bolotin and Pip Ngo from XYZ Films on behalf of the filmmakers.

Death of Me is produced by Envision Media Arts’ Lee Nelson and David Tish, and Samuel Marshall Production’s Charlie Dorfman. Executive Producers for the film’s financier Media Finance Capital are CEO David Gilbery and Marlon Vogelgesang, alongside Tannaz Anisi and Greg Schenz for 13 Films.

The Invisible Man follows Cecilia (Moss), who receives the news of her abusive ex-boyfriend’s suicide. She begins to rebuild her life for the better. However, her sense of reality is put into question when she begins to suspect her deceased lover is not actually dead.

Originally intended to be part of the Dark Universe, the film is now being developed as a standalone project with the hiring of Upgrade and Insidious franchise creator Leigh Whannell to write and direct the project.

The upcoming remakes will be “rooted in horror, with no restrictions on budget, tone or rating,” with different interpretations of the classic characters’ origins and stories to appeal to a new generation of fans. You can purchase the original film here.

Claude Rains famously played The Invisible Man in Universal’s 1933 feature film, in turn based on the 1897 novel by H.G. Wells. Although Rains’ Griffin did not survive the first film, the series nevertheless became a franchise at the studio. The Invisible Man Returns followed in 1940 with The Invisible Woman arriving later that same year. After that came Invisible Agent in 1942 and The Invisible Man’s Revenge in 1944. Versions of The Invisible Man would also appear in the studio’s Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein in 1948. Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man in 1951.

Fatale: Lionsgate acquires rights to noir psychological thriller

Lionsgate has acquired North American and key international rights to Fatale, the mind-bending, taut psychologically provocative thriller directed by Deon Taylor (The Intruder) and starring two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank, Michael Ealy, Mike Colter, and Tyrin Turner.

Fatale centers on a married man (Ealy) who finds himself living a nightmare as he is relentlessly compromised, out-witted and morally manipulated by a mysterious woman (Swank) with whom he had a wild one nightstand. How far will he go to save his marriage from his mistake?

“We previously acquired Deon’s thriller Traffik, and when Damon Wolf came to Lionsgate on the heels of working with Deon, he mentioned we should keep our eye on Fatale. He could not have been more right. We are all big fans of Deon and are thrilled to have him back at Lionsgate. This film has the heat and erotic appeal of relationship-gone-wrong thrillers like Unfaithful, Fatal Attraction or Basic Instinct. Deon Taylor has delivered a morally complex and outstanding character-driven thriller with riveting performances by Hillary Swank and Michael Ealy,” said Jason Constantine, Lionsgate’s President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions.

“Damon and I had the chance to work together on The Intruder, and like a character from this new movie, he became almost obsessed with this project,” Taylor said. “I can feel that energy and passion with the Lionsgate team and I’m excited to be working with Joe, and to be reunited with Damon, Jason and Eda and the whole entire Lionsgate film group.”

Written and produced by David Loughery (The Intruder, Lakeview Terrace, Obsessed), the film is produced by Taylor’s Hidden Empire Film Group partner Roxanne Taylor and is executive produced by partner Robert F. Smith. Two-time Oscar nominee Dante Spinotti (L.A. Confidential, Heat) served as director of photography, marking his third collaboration with Taylor on Fatale.
