While Pokemon Go's big Hoenn celebration event is now over, a new Legendary Pokemon has made its debut in the popular mobile game. Palkia, the cover monster from Pokemon Pearl, has begun appearing around the world in Raid Battles, where you'll be able to find it through the end of February.As usual, in order to catch Palkia, you'll first need to team up with other players in-person, then visit a Gym that's hosting a Palkia Raid and battle it. If your party manages to defeat the Legendary Pokemon, you'll be rewarded with a handful of Premiere Balls and an opportunity to capture it.Although it may not look it, Palkia is a dual Water- and Dragon-type, which means it only takes neutral damage from Ice attacks, one of a Dragon Pokemon's biggest weaknesses. Your best bet is to battle it using other Dragon-types, such as Dragonite and Rayquaza--although The Pokemon Company warns that Palkia will always know a Dragon-type Fast Attack of its own. You can read more details on the official Pokemon website.Palkia will appear as a Raid Boss until February 28, giving you about a month to capture it. It is also the fourth Gen 4 Legendary Pokemon to appear in Pokemon Go thus far, following Giratina, Cresselia, and Heatran.Niantic hasn't announced when other Gen 4 Legendaries will debut in Pokemon Go, but the developer had previously teased the Lake trio--Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit--in a promotional image for the game's recent winter event, suggesting they may also be on the way soon.In addition to Palkia's arrival, Pokemon Go players have the game's next Community Day to look forward to soon. The event takes place on Saturday, February 16, and will feature another Gen 2 Pokemon: the Ice/Ground-type Swinub.Info from Gamespot.com

It's a bit later in the month than we're accustomed to learning about Games With Gold, but Microsoft has finally shared the list of games that Xbox Live Gold members can expect to receive for free in February 2019. As always, there are a total of four games split evenly across Xbox One and Xbox 360.On Xbox One, the month starts out with Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, a classic Castlevania-style action game released just last year; it serves as a spin-off from the upcoming Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It's available for the entire month of February. From February 16 to March 15, you'll also be able to grab 2017's Super Bomberman R, an action game where you try to corner opponents with bombs in a maze. It's best played with friends.Xbox 360's first title of the month is Assassin's Creed Rogue, an oft-overlooked entry in the series that was originally only released on last-gen platforms just as Assassin's Creed Unity arrived for current-gen systems. It'll be replaced on February 16 by Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, a well-received action game for the original Xbox, rather than Xbox 360. It's available until the end of the month.Both Rogue and Jedi Academy are playable on Xbox One through backwards compatibility, giving that system a total of four freebies in February. If you haven't already grabbed January's Games With Gold, you can still claim some of them before the month ends; one of them, WRC 6 FIA World Rally Championship, will be available until mid-February. The full February schedule follows below.February 2019 Games With GoldXbox OneBloodstained: Curse of the Moon (Feb. 1-28)Super Bomberman R (Feb. 1-Mar. 15)WRC 6 FIA World Rally Championship (Jan. 16-Feb. 15)Xbox 360Assassin's Creed Rogue (Feb. 1-15)Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (Feb. 16-28) Info from Gamespot.com

We may be headed into the shortest month of the year, but that doesn't mean that February will be short on offerings from Amazon Prime Video. Starting February 1, Amazon is unloading plenty of movies and television series for you to check out, and some of these movies date all the way back to the 1920s.As far as familiar fare goes, all three Matrix movies will release on February 1, along with both Wayne's World movies. So you can take the red pill and watch Keanu Reeves beat people up and enter "bullet time" or take the blue pill and watch Wayne Campbell go see the band Crucial Taunt play. The choice is yours.On the TV side of things, the third season of the Syfy series The Expanse comes to the service on February 8. It is one of the best new series to come to the network in years, so we highly recommend catching up on that.Finally, later in the month, you can watch the remake of Death Wish starring Bruce Willis. It is a pretty bad movie, but a fun watch regardless. Below, you'll find the full list of what's coming to Amazon Prime Video for the month of February. Also, check out what's coming to Netflix and Hulu next month as well.Coming To Amazon Prime Video In FebruaryFebruary 1TV*Agatha Christie Presents: ABC Murders (Prime Original series), Season 1In Plain Sight, Season 1-5*Just Add Magic (Prime Original series), Season 3Movies23 1/2 Hours Leave (1937)A Romance of Happy Valley (1919)A Strange Adventure (1932)Along Came Polly (2004)Barefoot (2014)Bounty (2009)Brand of the Devil (1944)Broadway Danny Rose (1984)Chaos (2009)Delta Farce (2007)Flesh+Blood (1985)Foolish (1999)Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)Gambler's Choice (1944)*Generation Wealth (Prime Original movie) (2018)Gorilla Ship (1932)Guru, the Mad Monk (1970)Hay Foot (1942)Headline Crasher (1937)High Lonesome (1950)High School Girl (1934)Hollywood Without Make-Up (1963)Hunters of the Deep (1954)Irish Luck (1939)Jacaré (1942)Joan the Woman (1916)Lady from Chungking (1942)Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)Little Miss Hoover (1918)Loaded Pistols (1948)Lost Canyon (1942)Lucky Ghost (1942)Lucky Terror (1936)Lying Lips (1939)Marathon Man (1976)Marie Galante (1934)Men of the Plains (1936)My Lady of Whims (1925)Neath Canadian Skies (1946)Neath the Arizona Skies (1934)Next Day Air (2009)No Substitute for Victory (1970)On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)Oriental Evil (1951)Orphans of the Storm (1921)Outlaw Express (1938)Outlaws of the Desert (1941)Paradise Express (1937)Partners of the Plains (1938)Pirates on Horseback (1941)Private Snuffy Smith (1942)Queen of the Jungle (1935)Racing Blood (1936)Raiders of the Border (1944)Rawhide (1938)Reckless Decision (1933)Rogue of the Range (1936)A Romance of the Redwood (1917)Round-Up Time in Texas (1937)Rubber Tires (1927)Secret of the Wastelands (1941)Secrets of Three Hungry Wives (1978)Sepia Cinderella (1947)Sisters of Death (1976)Sparrows (1926)Spirit of Youth (1938)Star Kid (1997)Stella Maris (1918)Swamp Fire (1946)Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)Texas Jack (1935)Texas to Bataan (1942)That Gang of Mine (1940)The Blues Brothers (1980)The Border Legion (1940)The Ghost Walks (1934)The Hoosier Schoolmaster (1935)The James Dean Story (1957)The Jesus Trip (1971)The Kid (1921)The Kid Ranger (1936)The Last of the Clintons (1935)The Last of the Mohicans (1992)The Love of Sunya (1927)The Married Virgin (1918)The Matrix (1999)The Matrix Reloaded (2003)The Matrix Revolutions (2003)The Money (1976)The Phantom Broadcast (1933)The Portrait of a Lady (1996)The Proud and Damned (1972)The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)The Quiet Ones (2014)The Shadow Strikes (1937)The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)The Violent Years (1956)Thelma & Louise (1991)Three Husbands (1950)Three Men from Texas (1940)Tombstone Canyon (1932)Tomorrow at Seven (1933)Tracy the Outlaw (1928)Unforgettable (2017)Universal Soldier (1992)Untamed Heart (1993)Vigilantes of Boomtown (1947)Wacky Taxi (1972)Wagon Trail (1935)Wagon Wheels (1934)Water Rustlers (1939)Wayne's World (1992)Wayne's World 2 (1993)West of the Law (1942)Whistling Bullets (1937)White Pongo (1945)Wild Country (2005)Wildfire (1988)Winning of the West (1953)Ye Shanghai (1941)Yodelin' Kid from Pine Ridge (1937)Young Dynamite (1937)February 5TVThe Tunnel, Season 3February 6TVHillary, Season 1February 7MoviePapillon (2018)February 8TVThe Expanse, Season 3*White Dragon (Prime Original series), Season 1Movies*Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot (Prime Original movie) (2018)The Promise (2017)February 15TV*Lorena (Prime Original series), Season 1February 16MovieWhat They Had (2018)February 17MovieThe Party (2017)February 21MovieOdd Squad: Odds and Ends (2018)February 22TV*This Giant Beast That Is The Global Economy (Prime Original series), Season 1February 23MovieDeath Wish (2018)February 25MovieEvery Day (2018)February 28MovieThe Young and Prodigious T.S.

In case you missed the NFL Outfits in Fortnite the last time around, Epic is bringing them back in celebration of the Super Bowl, along with a few new football-themed goodies. The special skins were only available for a limited time before, and that will likely be the case again, so grab them while you can.According to the announcement, the sportswear will be available in the store starting on Friday, February 1 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET. It also says you can find two more outfit styles, with special white uniforms for the Patriots and Rams. Plus, starting on Saturday, February 2 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET, you can visit the store to get a free Pigskin Toy.Also to mark the occasion, you can take part in a new NFL Rumble limited-time mode. This puts you on a team of 20 in Patriots or Rams outfits, battling for the win and a trophy. Or Epic says you can just head over to Pleasant Park for a game of catch.The last time NFL outfits were available was in November for four days. That was a short window, but this one may be even shorter. The jerseys cost 1,500 V-Bucks ($15) the last time around, and let you customize with your own number and variants like Strong Guard, End Zone, Gridiron, and Spike.Of course, the fan base found creative and clever ways to poke fun at the NFL through the outfits, with players sporting jerseys to lambaste controversial athletes like Michael Vick and Aaron Hernandez.This announcement comes alongside a new Fortnite patch just released today that adds a chiller grenade, a new 'Solid Gold' limited-time mode, and mobile controller support.Info from Gamespot.com

Unless you're comfortable with people discreetly listening in on your most private conversations (it's okay, I talk about the movie Face Off with my cat, too), you should disable FaceTime right now on any supported devices. A newly discovered bug impacting iOS devices, including iPhones, allows someone to call another user through FaceTime and force it to begin transmitting the call receiver's audio--all without them potentially even being aware.As originally reported by 9to5Mac, the process involves you initiating a FaceTime call and then adding yourself to the call again. Due to the bug, this causes the other person's device to effectively answer the call so that you can hear audio from their end. This has been confirmed by numerous other sources, and it's reportedly possible that--if the call receiver presses the Power button--video is transmitted, too.Apple has acknowledged the bug and says a fix is coming later this week. In the meantime, it's disabled Group FaceTime functionality, which is seemingly to blame for the issues, although 9to5Mac says it's still possible to take advantage of the exploit.Disabling FaceTime is relatively easy, as you simply need to go into your device's FaceTime settings and turn it off. If you do need step-by-step instructions, CNET has put together a guide on how to turn off FaceTime on both iOS and Mac devices.Info from Gamespot.com

DC's streaming service DC Universe launched back in September, offering fans a mix of movies, TV shows, and comic books. It has now been announced that the service will be expanding its curated comic collection, more than doubling the number of titles on there over the next few months.DC has confirmed that the current selection will be joined by thousands of titles, including some classic adventures from Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Among the latest additions are much-loved collections such as Batman: Hush, Batman: Year One, Gotham Central, Flashpoint, Infinite Crisis, Static Shock, and Superman: For All Season. There will also thousands of single issues representing the vast scope of DC's comic output, from classic adventures from the '80s to more recent New 52 and DC Rebirth stories.In a statement, Sam Ades, senior vice president and general manager of DC Digital Services, said: "When launching DC Universe, we knew the comic reader was an area that we wanted to expand and provide more choice. Fans want a place to discover new titles and the opportunity to enjoy full arcs of iconic and notable storylines from start to finish. We are listening to fans and responding with an expanded comic book offering that improves the overall DC Universe experience."The first batch of titles has been released today, January 29. It includes Batman Incorporated, Justice League: Darkseid War, The Omega Men, Superman: For All Seasons, Wonder Woman, and Alan Moore's classic run of Swamp Thing. They will be joined over the coming weeks by titles such as Forever Evil, Superman: Secret Origin, Midnighter & Apollo, Hawkworld, Batman: Year One, and Grant Morrison's Animal Man arc. DC Universe costs $7.99 per month or $74.99 annually.In related news, the live-action Doom Patrol show is set to hit DC Universe on February 15. Check out the latest trailer. Info from Gamespot.com

Each week brings a shuffling of content to Destiny 2, and this week that includes the new Exotic weapon quest to reclaim the Destiny 1 hand cannon, The Last Word. The Ascendant Challenge, on the other hand, is not actually new--we're actually back to the fourth week of the cycle of challenges. But whether you've done it before or not, there's good reason to give it a shot, as Powerful gear awaits you as a reward. Here's where to go and what to do to complete the current Ascendant Challenge.Before you try to tackle the Ascendant Challenge, the same requirements as always hold true; most notably, you need a Tincture of Queensfoil. This is a consumable item that you'll happen upon while playing in the Dreaming City, although you can also buy them. Using a Tincture gives you the Ascendance buff, which allows you to see a Taken portal. It's this portal you must go through to complete the Ascendant Challenge. Along with a Tincture, you have to grab the Ascendant Challenge bounty from Petra in the Dreaming City; it's through this that you actually get your Powerful gear.For the current challenge, the portal is located in Rheasilvia. In the northeast corner, head inside a building and go straight as far as you can. Turn right, and then go left in the next area to reach Harbinger's Seclude. Go up a set of stairs and out the doorway on the right. Head straight through this area, through another doorway, and continue straight in the next zone. At the end of a bridge you'll see a statue covered in Taken Blight balls; platform your way up the objects around it and you'll be able to go through the portal on top of its head. Check out the video above for a walkthrough. If you struggle to get up, take out your ghost and you'll see some invisible platforms just off the slide of the area that can help you get up.Going through the portal transports you to the Keep of Honed Edges in the Ascendant Plane. Platform your way across a series of rocks and you'll find an area with three knights who are immune to damage. Kill all of the other enemies and the barrier protecting a sword will go away, allowing you to pick up the relic.At this point, more enemies spawn in and one knight will begin attacking you. Kill the knight, and the other two will join the fray along with additional enemies. Take them all out, and you'll again have to platform across a series of rocks, now with enemies to make things more challenging. There is debris moving through the area, and at least certain things you step on will disappear after a short period of time, so make sure not to linger. Make your way toward a platform with a large blue object on it to complete the challenge.As in previous weeks, the chest you receive at the end of the Ascendant Challenge isn't anything special. But the bounty you get from Petra offers Powerful gear for completing it; this can help to boost your Power level, so ensuring you have the bounty is essential.Meanwhile, The Draw quest for The Last Word should keep players busy for a bit. It also represents a step forward in one of the biggest, most interesting running stories in all of Destiny lore--check out our lore catch-up guide for everything you need to know about the famous gun, its famous wielder, and what's going on with the Drifter in Destiny's next season.Info from Gamespot.com

Along with Destiny 2's new Exotic weapon quest, The Draw, comes a big new update to the game that is likely to have some pretty sweeping changes for the Crucible, Destiny's competitive mode. The update rebalances basically all of the ultra-powerful Super abilities players use in the game, making some a little stronger and a few much less powerful.Chief among the nerfs in Update 2.1.4 is the one to Nova Warp, one of the Supers added to the Warlock class with Destiny 2's big Forsaken expansion. The extremely powerful attack allowed players to fire off an explosion all around their bodies that vaporized anyone unlucky enough to get close. It was a Super that was tough to deal with when you were facing it down in the Crucible, seemingly lasting forever and absolutely destroying players at great distances.Bungie has reeled in Nova Warp quite a bit, slowing down your movement speed while you're charging the explosion and increasing the energy cost of each charge, resulting in fewer explosions. Bungie also decreased the damage the attack can do to other players by 27% and dropped its duration by almost seven seconds.Another big change is that to Blade Barrage, a Hunter Super that was also added with Forsaken. Blade Barrage does massive damage to both bosses and other players, sending out a blast of exploding knives in one direction that's difficult to avoid. After Update 2.1.4, damage from the initial impact of those knives has been greatly reduced, from 150 to 35--but the damage from the resulting explosion has been increased from 150 to 250. Meanwhile, the handy Exotic armor Shards of Galanor, which gives you Super energy based on how much damage you do with Blade Barrage, has been nerfed a bit so that you can only retrieve 75% of total Super energy at a time. That's down from the previous 90%.There are a few changes to Supers that drastically increase their effectiveness, though. Hunter Golden Gun Supers are a lot more powerful and should be more useful both against boss enemies and in the Crucible. The Titan Super Burning Maul is also a lot stronger, dealing more damage and covering a wider radius.The update also sees a bunch of changes to weapons, notably with scout rifles and sniper rifles getting damage increases that should help get them in players' rotations a bit more. There are a lot of other quality-of-life changes mixed into the update as well: read the full patch notes below.Destiny 2 Update 2.1.4 Patch NotesSuper TuningHunter: GunslingerGolden Gun SuperIncreased damage to bosses by 40% Includes Six-Shooter and Celestial NighthawkGolden Gun Six-ShooterBase damage increased from 275 to 300 per shotKills now return a bullet to the Golden Gun’s magazine"Line 'Em Up" PerkDoubled precision damage bonus per stack of the buff"Practice Makes Perfect" Perk Stack limit increased from 3 to 5Super regen modifier increased by 20%Blade Barrage Super Impact damage decreased from 150 to 35Explosion damage increased from 150 to 250Now deals self-damage Our goal for AoE supers of this type is that they incur self-damage when activated too close to a target.

Fortnite's latest update adds the extra gear and bug fixes we've come to expect from Epic's regular updates, but one surprising addition comes after a long wait. The 7.30 update, which released just today across all platforms, finally adds bluetooth controller support on mobile devices.Upon downloading the update, Android players will be able to use most Bluetooth gamepads and adapters including Steelseries Stratus XL, Gamevice, and Moto Gamepad. Players on iOS can use the MFi controllers like the Steelseries Nimbus and Gamevice. It also adds 60 Hz gameplay on some Android models, for those who want performance out of their mobile play.Other additions in v7.30 include the chiller grenade and the return of the Solid Gold limited-time mode. The chiller grenade has a knock-back effect that makes enemies slide along the ground with icy shoes but be careful because it also affects your own teammates. The Solid Gold LTM makes every weapon drop Legendary quality, letting you more easily try out some new ones, and also provides more crafting materials.Meanwhile, Epic also announced that it will be bringing back the NFL outfits just in time for Super Bowl weekend. In addition to the regular spate of outfits, two new variants are available to celebrate the competing teams, the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams. It's also adding a free Pigskin Toy to the shop, and an NFL Rumble limited-time mode.

Good news, Guardians: Destiny 2 now allows you to chase the Whisper of the Worm Exotic sniper rifle at any time. Gone are the days of waiting until the weekend rolled around to complete the steps necessary to access the hidden special mission, or to unlock one of the best guns in the game.Bungie made the announcement on Twitter, revealing that The Whisper mission is now available on the moon Io any day of the week. The change is part of Update 2.1.4, which rebalances a ton of Supers and weapons throughout the game. The update also adds in The Draw, another Exotic weapon quest.The whispers on Io have grown louder.Ears up, Guardians. pic.twitter.com/QhWWIqUPsA — Bungie (@Bungie) January 29, 2019The Whisper quest only appeared in the game last summer, and it took the Destiny 2 community a while to discover what it was all about and how it worked. Used to be, from Friday to Sunday on any given week, you could access the quest by waiting for a particular public event to occur in the Lost Oasis area of Io. When the right event popped up, a special enemy would also appear, and killing it would open up a portal to the special mission.From there, you had to complete a long, elaborate platforming puzzle, before engaging in some extremely tough battles with hordes of Taken enemies--all within a 20-minute time limit. The mission was difficult enough that most people required a team to complete it, but The Whisper was so super-secret that it didn't include matchmaking. Finishing the mission, though, granted you Whisper of the Worm, a powerful Exotic sniper rifle similar to Destiny 1's Black Spindle. The weapon has become a mainstay for players taking on big boss fights like the ones found in Destiny 2's raids.With Bungie's latest change, The Whisper is available all week in Lost Oasis, and it can be activated from any public event in the region, which should drastically reduce wait times. The mission itself is still pretty tough, but removing the weekend requirement should make it a whole lot easier for Guardians to band together and finally unlock Whisper of the Worm if they've been waiting.Info from Gamespot.com

Even though the latest movie in the long-running Child's Play series was released less than two years ago, last July it was announced that the franchise was to be entirely rebooted as a new film without the involvement of creator Dan Mancini. However, it has now been confirmed that Mancini's story of killer doll Chucky will continue as TV show.The show will be simply titled Chucky and is being developed at Syfy. Mancini will write the series, and will produce alongside long-term partner David Kirschner, as well as Nick Antosca, who worked with Mancini on the hit horror anthology series Channel Zero.In a statement, Mancini said: "I've long wanted to bring Chucky to television and Syfy is the perfect network for us. The show will be a fresh take on the franchise, allowing us to explore Chucky's character with a depth that is uniquely afforded by the television series format, while staying true to the original vision that has terrorized audiences for over three decades now."The Chucky series kicked off in 1988 with Child's Play, which was followed by two direct sequels in 1990 and 1991. The series took a more overt comic turn with 1998's The Bride of Chucky and three subsequent films. Mancini has written every movie in the series to date and directed the last three, including 2017's The Cult of Chucky.The Child's Play remake is being produced by MGM but will not have any involvement from Mancini. In a recent interview on the Post Mortem podcast, he explained that he wasn't happy about the new movie version. "Obviously my feelings were hurt," he said. "You know, I had just done two movies… forgive me if I sound defensive, [they] were both at 83 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Even though they didn't get theatrical releases, they were well regarded. And I did create the character and nurture the franchise for three f***ing decades."That's how I feel. The people who are making that movie, they don't know how that's going to affect my livelihood. It's not just a paycheck. It's very personal. MGM's screwing with that potentially."Info from Gamespot.com

GameStop has announced that it is no longer trying to sell itself to another company. The video game retail company did not provide further details as to what that means for its future, but its stock price has plunged dramatically as a result."GameStop's Board has now terminated efforts to pursue a sale of the company due to the lack of available financing on terms that would be commercially acceptable to a prospective acquirer," GameStop said in a blog post. The announcement caused investment stock in GameStop to plummet, with the trading value decreasing by more than 25 percent to $11.24 USD at the time of this writing.The company first began looking for a potential buyer in June 2018. GameStop went into talks with private equity firms and also hired a financial advisor, according to sources familiar with the situation. However, GameStop never confirmed a sellout was a definitive final outcome, and said in a statement that it was exploring other solutions to its financial difficulties as well.In a report by Variety, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said that GameStop's decision to shift gears might mean that company was simply unable to find an investor. "A new console without a disc drive--unlikely, but possible--could kill [GameStop's] business," Pachter explained. "And all this talk of Amazon, Apple, and Google [streaming games] causes some to question whether there will be consoles at all."GameStop has struggled to remain a relevant part of the game consumer model with the rise of digital distribution. As a result, the company has tried to account for lost sales by increasing its pivot towards used game sales and pop culture collectibles. However, the former has most likely been a shrinking margin for the company as well, with subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass, Games With Gold, and PlayStation Now offering a steady stream of older titles for less than their combined retail price.Info from Gamespot.com

The much-anticipated new movie adaptation of the classic sci-fi novel series Dune continues to add some big names. Following the news earlier this month that MCU stars Dave Bautista and Stellan Skarsgård will play key roles, it has now been reported that Star Wars actor Oscar Isaac is in talks to join the cast.According to Variety, Isaac is in negotiations to play the role of Duke Leto, the father of lead character Paul Atreides, who will be played by Timothy Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name). As well as playing Poe Dameron in the recent Star Wars movie, Isaac is known for roles in Ex Machina, X-Men: Apocalypse, and Annihilation.Skarsgård is set to play the evil Baron Harkonen, while Bautista will appear as "Beast" Rabban, Harkonen's nephew. The cast also includes Mission Impossible star Rebecca Ferguson, and the movie will be directed by Denis Villeneuve, who previously helmed Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival. Dune does not yet have a release date.The multi-book series was written by Frank Herbert, and the first volume was published in 1965. The movie was first announced in February 2017, when Herbert's son Brian suggested that it could be the first part in a series of films. It was previously adapted for the big screen in 1984 by David Lynch and starred Kyle McLachlan, Patrick Stewart, and Sting. While this version was a commercial failure, it has since gained a cult reputation.The Sci-fi Channel (since re-branded Syfy) also produced a Dune mini-series in the early 2000s. There have been several unsuccessful attempts to get a new movie version off the ground, most recently with Patriots Day director Peter Berg at the helm. Info from Gamespot.com
