Fox is teaming up with Warner Bros. Animation to create Bedrock, an upcoming animated sequel series to the iconic animated sitcom, The Flintstones. The new show, which will be aimed at adult audiences rather than kids, will star Elizabeth Banks (Modern Family, 30 Rock). News of the series getting a green light comes via The Hollywood Reporter.Banks, who is also executive producing the series, will voice a grown-up Pebbles Flintstone in a show that takes place 20 years after the 1960s ABC series. No other co-stars or premise details have yet been announced, but it's also worth noting that this isn't Fox's first go at reviving the Flintstones--back in 2012, Seth MacFarlane got a series order for a reboot, but that version didn't progress beyond some early scripts. In fact, this isn't even the first time a Pebbles-centric Flintstones sequel has been attempted, with the short-lived The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show running for one season in late 1971."Long before the Simpsons and Springfield, the Griffins and Quahog, or even when the Belchers started serving burgers on Ocean Avenue, there were the Flintstones and Bedrock," said Michael Thorn, president of entertainment for Fox Entertainment. "Their imprint on the animation universe is undeniable and the idea of adapting it for today's audience is a challenge we here at Fox are very much looking forward to taking on."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In it, he discusses his acting career and compares it to the world of another former WWE wrestler-turned-movie star, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.When asked by JoBlo if his history in the ring and his massive, muscular frame have been an asset as he forged ahead in his acting career, the Guardians of the Galaxy star said no.

I want that to be what separates [Johnson and I]. I don't want to be that guy who walks in that room, I never wanted to be that guy."Of course, that's not to take anything away from The Rock, who is one of the biggest movie stars on the planet.

The Nintendo Switch's Joy-Cons offer a lot of flexibility in how the system can be played, letting you use them while the switch is docked, in handheld mode, or even propped up on a flat surface. They can also function as a pair of controllers in local multiplayer.

Only a few steps inland from the beach where your ship is wrecked at the start of Boomerang X, you realize some great calamity has befallen this strange place. As you make your way into the interior of the island, you find a ravaged village and the bodies of the giant mantis people who once lived there. Whatever happened here, they tried to fight it. They failed.But then you find one of their artifacts: a strange boomerang, which looks more like a throwing star made out of bone (or more specifically, the Glaive throwing blade thing from the movie Krull). The mantis people, the Yoran, weren't able to use this boomerang to save themselves, but you sure can. Just seconds after finding it, you'll whip the blade through strange monster creatures made of goo as easily as if you had invented the weapon.Things move fast in Boomerang X, as we discovered with a hands-on preview of the game that lasted about an hour. The game is actually a series of wave-based arena fights where several brands of these goo creatures appear, and you need to cut them down to size with the boomerang. You play Boomerang X from a first-person perspective, so these fights have a platforming and shooter feel, with the caveat that you only have this one weapon to defend yourself with. The handy thing about your boomerang is that it always returns to your hand (as you'd expect), but that delay in shots means that every throw is a tactical decision.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
