James Corden always has some funny bits, but this poor guy calling for It instead of IT is pretty great. Please watch won’t you? I mean I guess you don’t have to, and I can’t force you to entertain yourself, but I think you should. Because honestly what else do you have going on right now?
Rune Is Coming Back!
Seventeen years ago Human Head Studios launched a Viking RPG that would become a LAN party staple for years to come, Rune, and they are finally making a sequel. I know that it took some time for the studio to get back on its feet after the Prey 2 fiasco that turned some fans against Bethesda, but regardless, I can’t wait for a proper return to the world of Rune. I am a little worried about it being open world. I don’t think that is something every game needs to do, but I know they are a talented studio looking to do something big after the hardships they have had to endure, so I hope Rune Ragnarök blows me away!
Hellboy Enters The Fray!
The trailer for the new Injustice 2 fighter pack went up, and while Raiden was an interesting choice, since this is not Mortal Kombat, and Black Manta (Aquaman’s number one villain) was a given, Hellboy is something I didn’t see coming. Mostly because he is from neither NetherRealm’s stable of characters (Mortal Kombat) or from the DC Comics library. He is Dark Horse Comic’s most recognizable hero, and if he can cross over, who else might come out to play? I have my fingers crossed for Dark Horse’s other main hero, The Rocketeer! For now though, I am very happy with HB joining the line up.
What Is Going On With DC Entertainment?
In the last twenty-four hours there has been a lot of DC movie news: Martin Scorsese is producing a stand alone 1980’s Joker origin movie, The Batman film is no longer part of the DCEU (maybe), Gotham City Sirens is being replaced by a DECU Joker and Harley movie being made by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa the directors of Crazy Stupid Love, but now it is not and DC is making both, the Shazam movie is both in and out of the DCEU, they cut Jesse Eisenberg out of Justice League (though it looks like he was never in it), and who knows what else.
Know what I think? There was a meeting where a lot of ideas where pitched, and now people are talking about them, so rumor sites are getting wind of what was talked about. Most of these new movies will never enter production, but we will still get our one to two DC movies a year with most of them being in the DCEU, but if a talented filmmaker wants to make an Elseworlds tale, Warner Brothers will consider it. How can you say no to Martin Scorsese? DC Entertainment, even with Geoff Johns, is not like Marvel Studios. They are more of a traditional studio and don’t just make movies under the direction of one person, and they are in a state of flux right now. They know they need to start making good movies, so they are taking ideas from everyone, and honestly why not.
Movie studios get hundreds of pitches every day for films, but we never hear about them. However, because DC’s back is kind of up against a wall, every movie idea or off the cuff statement from a director is big news, even though Warner Brothers themselves haven’t announced anything. Honestly DC/Warner Brothers just needs to have its people sign a gag order and only talk about movies that are entering production, and then a lot of this internet fanboy drama would just go away. Provided they start making better movies of course.
Teen Titans Go Gave Us The Best Possible Version Of Fall Out Boy!
Teens Titans God made an 80’s throwback rock opera, and it was sooooo good! Now they released a music video to top it all off! Fall Out Boy has become the new They Might Be Giants in that if you need a theme or a song for your show or movie they got you covered. That is not something I would have expected from them when they started out their career, but hey, we all got to make a living somehow. For now just enjoy this lovely video!
