With the upcoming Star Trek: Prodigy animated series arriving on the Paramount+ streaming service later in 2021, a major piece of the Star Trek universe will be in play once again. Kate Mulgrew is returning to the franchise, reprising her Star Trek: Voyager role as Captain Janeway for the first time since the 2002 film Star Trek: Nemesis.Appearing during the show's Comic-Con 2021 panel, the actress explained exactly why she believed now was the right time to make her highly-anticipated return to the universe. "When this was proposed to me, some time ago, after a moment's deliberation, I thought, 'What could be better than possibly handing this to the next generation? To a demographic that heretofore has not known anything about Star Trek--the beauty of it, the philosophy of it, the depth of it, the hope and the promise of it?'" Mulgrew explained. "And if there's any age group that's going to take this thing and embrace it with a wholeheartedness not seen before, it's the young kids. They're going to get it in a way that older people-due to perhaps a little life experience, a scintilla of cynicism--might not get entirely. But the young ones--5,10, 15 [years old]-- are going to embrace it with a guilelessness and a readiness and I think an emotional capacity, a component that's going to make them absolutely adore it."While there is plenty of new Star Trek content to be found on Paramount+, from Discovery and Picard to the adult animated series Lower Decks and the upcoming Strange New Worlds, none of it is aimed specifically at kids. With the arrival of Prodigy, which includes Mulgrew playing a hologram version of her iconic character, that will all change.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

We've all seen incredible overhead shots, whether in an online video or in a movie, that leave us scratching our heads as to how exactly it can be possible to get such high-quality footage from so far in the air. It might seem impossibly unaffordable to purchase the tech that would allow for getting super clean aerial footage. For a while, this was true: Big movie studios basically had a monopoly on expensive drones with high-quality cameras attached. But as time goes on, technology becomes more efficient, and now there is a way to get one at home. The AIR PIX: Pocket-Sized Flying Camera is a miniature drone that can capture video that was impossible with the handheld technology of the past. Typically listed for $159, it's on sale now for just $139.This camera has been featured in Wired, The Huffington Post, Forbes, and more for its innovative design and relatively low price. The AIR PIX has a 1080p resolution, 8GB of onboard memory, and a 12-megapixel camera. It also has an auto-fly mode so that you don't need to manually control it while you focus on posing for the picture or simply enjoying whatever activity it is that you're filming. You can even move it with just the gestures of your hand or treat it like a game and control it with your phone.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

At the Simpsons panel at Comic-Con, it was revealed that they have a part already written for Dwayne Johnson. He just has to come on board."We actually have--I don't know how much we can say here--but there's a story with Lisa and the Rock, but yeah, we don't know where it's going," said writer Carolyn Omine. "We're hoping the Rock will hear us, or if anybody knows the Rock...tell him we want that."Smith could not visibly hold in her excitement. "I've only been saying this was a good idea in every interview I've done for the past two years!" She mentioned when asked in interviews if there's a guest star she'd love to have on the show, she keeps insisting on Dwayne Johnson.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Simpsons kicked off its 70-minute Comic-Con@Home panel to commemorate Season 33 with a full minute hyping a fictional Springfield Cinematic Universe on the Simpflix streaming service. Billed as the latest entry into the streaming wars, Simpflix "bravely repurposes 32-year-old IP into a dazzling array of original programming."Of course, no such service is really forthcoming--a sarcastic voice over really goes hard in the paint to sell upcoming shows with punny titles including Len15, Molemen, and Moezark. Really the visuals on the posters for these parody shows are much more clever than the titles, so we'll spare any potential cringing or confusion and let these jokes land on their own. Check out the images below for the streaming service, whose slogan is "we can't stop you from sharing your password."Gallery The rest of the panel featured moderator Yeardley Smith exclusively asking an assembled group of Matt Selman, Al Jean, David Silverman, Carolyn Omine, Mike B. Anderson, and Debbie Mahan fan-submitted questions. After 32 seasons so far, it was surprising to learn there's still a fair amount about how the show works that Smith--who has voiced Lisa Simpson from the very beginning--admits she doesn't know, like how a director gets hired. The Simpsons was recently renewed for Seasons 33 and 34, easily making it the longest running animated comedy of all time. Season 32 wrapped in May this year.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's been a while since we've heard anything about the Rick Grimes Walking Dead movie, but at the Robert Kirkman panel for Comic-Con 2021, the Walking Dead comic creator gave a little bit of an update about the movie.When asked about when the Rick Grimes movie would come out, Kirkman responded, "I can't tell you. I could throw out a funny date. I don't know. It's definitely going to be before 2032. I wish there were more updates. There's a lot going on behind-the-scenes. Because we're pre-recording this, it's entirely possible that there are some details that are coming out around Comic-Con that I just don't know we're allowed to talk about yet. So I'm being a good boy, and I'm not going to spoil anything, but I will say there's exciting stuff happening behind-the-scenes, and I am as frustrated as you guys are that we have not been able to reveal everything to you and talk about it non stop."Kirkman went on to reassure everyone that they want to make a quality film, while praising Rick Grimes himself, Andrew Lincoln. "Lincoln is amazing," explained Kirkman. "I miss seeing Andrew Lincoln running around as Rick Grimes. I can't wait until we're filming this thing and then this thing's coming out. It's gonna be awesome. You know everybody's working very hard to make this thing as good as it can be. All I will say, we don't want a bad Rick Grimes movie, right? We want an amazing Rick Grimes movie and so everybody behind-the-scenes is making sure that when this comes out it is worth the wait, and it is actually the special character building Rick Grimes journey that everybody wants it to be. And so we're not going to be rushing this thing out, and we're going to make sure that it's perfect. So that is what's going on behind-the-scenes, and when it finally comes out, when we're showing trailers and stuff, you'll see you'll be like, 'Ah, that's exactly what we wanted. I'm so glad they waited.'"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Two of the most popular shows on TV--The Walking Dead and Invincible--are based on beloved comic book series co-created by Robert Kirkman. These two shows couldn't be more different, though. One's a vibrant, bloody animated superhero adventure, the other a dire and gritty zombie apocalypse show. According to Kirman himself at Comic-Con, though, there's one other major difference between them--one is far easier to make.Speaking during his spotlight panel at the virtual convention, the co-creator admitted that figuring out what's going to happen on Invincible is a much easier road to travel than plotting out The Walking Dead for one specific reason. "I think that there's a more solid roadmap for Invincible, because that series is done, than we had for [The] Walking Dead," he said.While the animated Invincible series debuted on Amazon Prime Video earlier this year, Kirkman and the rest of the comic's team wrapped up that series back in 2018. On the other hand, The Walking Dead first premiered on AMC back in 2010. At that point, the comics were in the "Life Among Them" story arc, which is when Rick Grimes and company first discover the Alexandria Safe Zone. The comic then continued until late 2019.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

While it hasn't been very long since Fear the Walking Dead ended its sixth season in June, Season 7 of the AMC series is already gearing up for a return. During the show's Comic-Con panel, it was announced that Season 7 of Fear the Walking Dead would premiere Sunday, October 7, at 9 PM/8 PM CT on AMC. Episodes will also debut early each week on the AMC+ streaming service.That's not all that was revealed during the panel, though. The first two clips from the new season were shown, introducing a very different zombie apocalypse. Those who watched through the end of Season 6 will no doubt remember that a series of nuclear warheads were detonated across the state of Texas, leading to a ridiculously dangerous double apocalypse scenario--zombies and nuclear fallout.In the first clip, which you can watch above, it's seen just how dire the situation is. Morgan (Lennie James) and Grace (Karen David) have hunkered down inside a nuclear submarine with baby Morgan, only going outside--in full hazmat attire--when necessary. In the clip, Grace goes on a search for food for the baby, showing the audience just how devastated the landscape is and what a nuked zombie looks like.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Of course, there is a lot to dissect.If you've been keeping up with the show, and happened to follow the comic book series, the show is leading towards the Commonwealth. It's a town that seems perfect, and it's the most advanced and seemingly civil place the survivors have come across. Check out the trailer below.Without getting into too many spoilers from the comics, which will most likely be incorporated into the story, Michael James Shaw will be joining the season as Mercer, the leader of the Commonwealth military.

We sort of explain certain things that are going on that people might not have been aware of. It's more discovery, really, of characters and worlds."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

As uncertainties about overcoming COVID-19 and the new Delta variant persist, actor Sean Penn has said he will not return to film the Starz limited series Gaslit until all members of the production have been vaccinated. Deadline originally reported the ultimatum, which is a challenge and invitation for leadership across Hollywood to impose stricter requirements.Penn has also let it be known that as he is fully vaccinated, his position has less to do with his own concerns over catching the virus and everything to do with improving working environments. While it might be tempting to believe COVID is a thing of the past, many productions have recently been put on temporary hold due to positive testing--the Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon and the Netflix titles Bridgerton and Matilda are just a few examples. This week, the highly-anticipated movie The Green Knight was pulled from U.K. release schedules over COVID-19 Delta variant concerns.Gaslit is a modern take on the 1970s political Watergate scandal, centering on untold stories and forgotten characters who played a role in the broader story. Based on the popular Slate podcast Slow Burn, the political thriller series is directed by Matt Ross (Silicon Valley), and in addition to Penn stars Julia Roberts, Betty Gilpin (GLOW), and Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Legion). Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot) is among the many impressive co-producers, alongside Roberts.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

This Week At Bungie is a bit lighter than usual, but it introduced minor changes coming to Destiny 2 in the next few weeks.In the current Season of the Splicer, Bungie created an Armor Synthesis system, a new transmog system for armor customization. Players earn a unique, passive currency called Synthstrand to purchase Armor Synthesis bounties from Ada-1 at the Tower. Since it's passively-earned, there is no way to get it other than simply defeating enemies until they collect enough to grab bounties. It can be time-consuming since not every kill guarantees a Synthstrand drop.In Season 15, Bungie will remove the Synthstrand from the game, and players will need to use 10,000 Glimmer in its place. As the TWAB notes, this will reduce the time players need to earn 10 Synthweave tokens per class every season. Bungie intends to simplify the Armor Synthesis system with these changes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
