Adam Sandler is back at it again with yet another Netflix movie. On Twitter, the streaming service announced that Sandler will star in an upcoming adaptation of the novel Spaceman of Bohemia, which was written by Czech author Jaroslav Kalfař in 2017. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Channing Tatum, Reid Carolin, Peter Kiernann, and Michael Parets will be producing via their Free Association company, alongside Tim Headington, Lia Buman, and Max Silva for Tango Entertainment.Adam Sandler is going to space.In director Johan Renck's upcoming adaptation of SPACEMAN OF BOHEMIA, from author Jaroslav Kalfar, an astronaut (Sandler) sent to the edge of the galaxy discovers a creature from the beginning of time lurking within his ship. pic.twitter.com/O4djCo409r — NetflixFilm (@NetflixFilm) October 26, 2020The novel is a self-proclaimed "intergalactic odyssey of love, ambition, and self-discovery." It tells the story of Jakub Procházka, an orphan boy raised by his grandparents in the Czech countryside, who goes to rise in the scientific field to become the country's first astronauts.Other details are still sparse, though Johan Renck has been announced as the director for the still-untitled project. Renck is a prolific music-video director, having worked with artists including David Bowie, Madonna, and UK's The Streets. He's also directed for many television shows such as Breaking Bad, Halt and Catch Fire, and also The Walking Dead. So, his pedigree indicates this will most likely not be another Sandler Netflix comedy.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Earlier in the year, the feature film My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising released in theaters, just a month before the COVID-19 pandemic hit America. But if you missed the chance to see it in theaters, you're in luck as there is a Heroes Rising home release on October 27.For the American voice actors behind your favorite characters, getting into the mindset of their roles for the movie wasn't as easy as you think. "What was tricky about this movie was that this movie is set a little bit ahead of the current continuity of the anime," Clifford Chapin, who voices Bakugo in the film and on the anime, told GameSpot. "Possibly in Season 5, or maybe even later, it's not completely clear exactly where in the timeline is landing. And if anything was tricky about it, it was navigating the growth of the characters that we haven't yet gotten to experience [on the TV series]. So knowing that this is set at a further time, knowing that there was further character growth--for our characters--past what we've already worked on and recorded on in the normal series. And being faithful to those characters still, but also faithful to where they're supposed to be then."So with Bakugo, the beginning of the movie might have been almost more challenging than the rest of the movie for me because they're hanging out in a building where they're deploying people for little odd jobs and such," Chapin continued. "And Bakugo is so much more relaxed than in the series where he's always ready sort of to fight and be aggressive. He's a lot more conversational, or he's a lot more relaxed with the other characters, and approaching them not in a point of aggression. But in a point of like, well, I'm just doing what I'm doing. That was almost the biggest challenge for the character in that that film."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In September, Microsoft announced one of the biggest gaming acquisitions in history when it revealed its intentions to purchase ZeniMax, and its subsidiary Bethesda, for a cool $7.5 billion. People understandably have a lot of questions about the deal--like if The Elder Scrolls 6 will come to PlayStation 5--and so far, Microsoft has only given vague answers about the future.It turns out there is a very good reason for that. Xbox boss Phil Spencer told GameReactor that he cannot say much of substance about the deal due to legal requirements. Technically speaking, Microsoft has only announced its intention to purchase ZeniMax; the deal to buy the company is not expected to close until early 2021. While Spencer said he does not foresee any issues in the regulatory process to approve the deal, it remains "illegal" for him to discuss specifics right now."First of all, I would like to say that we haven't acquired ZeniMax. We have announced our intention to acquire ZeniMax. It is going through regulatory approval and we don't see any issues there. We expect early in 2021 the deal will close," he said. "But I say that because I want people to know, I'm not sitting down with Todd Howard and Robert Altman and planning their future. Because I'm currently not allowed to do that, that would be illegal."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Battlestar Galactica is coming to the big screen, THR reports, with longtime X-Men movie producer Simon Kinberg attached to write and produce. Kinberg joined the X-Men universe co-writing X-Men: The Last Stand, and has continued with the franchise in a variety of roles--producer, writer, and director--right up through 2020's The New Mutants.

Ahead of its release, Wasteland 3 was briefly refused classification in Australia, effectively banning it from sale. At the time, the Australian Classification Board was vague on the reason why the game was banned, but after a small change was made, Wasteland 3 was re-classified with an R18+ rating and allowed to release.Now, in the board's annual report, as picked up on by Kotaku Australia, some further reasoning has been given for the game's ban, and it all comes down to a drug that players were allowed to smoke in the original submission."During the game, characters are able to smoke a drug known as ‘Rocky Mountain Moosegrass’, which appears to be a strain of cannabis," the report reads. "The drug is denoted by an icon of a cannabis cigarette or joint in the player’s inventory that is accompanied by captions that attest to the cannabis-like effects of the drug."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ghost of Tsushima is one of the best-looking games on the PS4, thanks to both the developers' full mastery of the PS4 and some absolutely beautiful art direction. Now, the game's lead concept artist has given fans a breakdown of some of the art behind the game, and how the team at Sucker Punch realized some of these concepts in-game.In a post on the PlayStation Blog, lead concept artist Ian Jun Wei Chiew has shared many of the images created during the development of Ghost of Tsushima, and talked through its inspirations and how it translated into the game. "We began by exposing ourselves to as much research and content as we could on the Kamakura era, Japanese culture, old samurai films and the Invasion of Tsushima, which led to the final designs of our characters, outfits, landscape, architecture, etc.," he writes."A lot of the references we gathered were from museum exhibits and photos taken by teams that the studio sent out to Tsushima as well as the main island of JapanThe artist digs into the design processes around each character, too. For Jin, he writes, "we needed someone that can fulfill the fantasy of hiding in the shadows, but still having a look that feels like it was inspired by some of his samurai armor and aesthetic."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Microsoft's next-generation strategy is not traditional. Microsoft kinda doesn't care if you even buy a new Xbox Series X or S console because the company also releases its games on PC and mobile, while it also has Xbox customers on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has now shared some additional insight on this unique strategy.Speaking to GameReactor, Spencer said Microsoft wants to create Xbox customers, and that doesn't necessarily mean on a dedicated gaming console."Our high-level goal inside of our team, of how we measure ourselves, is how many people are playing on Xbox," Spencer said. "And when we say 'playing on Xbox' it doesn't mean an Xbox console. It means somebody who is logging in and playing a part of our ecosystem, whether first-party or third-party. And it could be on an Android phone. It could be on a Switch. It could be on a PC. That's how we think about it."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ghostrunner's intense first-person parkour platforming demands perfection. Whether you're clearing out a neon cityscape of cyberpunk goons or racing on walls and sliding through vents of a gigantic factory, even a small miscalculation will get you killed. Your jumps need to be precise. Every swing of your sword should be deadly. Anything less isn't up to robot ninja spec. Ghostrunner is quick to punish, but it's also more than willing to reward players who rise to its challenge. Bouncing from wall to wall feels like flying. Running circles around gunmen, dodging bullets, and cutting them down without a scratch is exhilarating. It's a high-risk, high-reward situation: Struggling with failure after failure, even on simple tasks, is incredibly frustrating early on, but that anger eventually dissipates as your skill grows to reveal a thrilling test of your abilities.Set in a cyberpunk-style post-apocalyptic world, Ghostrunner puts you in control of a robot ninja assassin on a mission to kill his world's authoritarian ruler. (She also nearly killed him a while back, so it's a twofer! Revolution and revenge.) There's a twisty, turny plot, but it's often very detached from what you're actually playing, as it's told almost exclusively through voiceover.Ghostrunner adheres quite closely to tenets of cyberpunk's visual aesthetic. You run through dirty dilapidated cities with dark corners, contrasted with neon signs and bright screens lighting up the night. Some of the enemies you face are literal cyborg punks. Don't worry; there are also plenty of robots. There have been enough cyberpunk stories in games that this look isn't especially fresh, but that doesn't stop it from looking cool. It helps that, on a technical level, Ghostrunner looks very sharp. The environments, enemies, and your sword, which is always sticking out in front of you, are all incredibly detailed. It may not be the most creatively constructed, but it is appealing all the same.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Buena Vista Street section of the park, made up of dining options and stores, are going to be open for business, according to the official Disney Parks blog.While the shopping will be indoors, the seating for dining will be in expanded outdoor seating areas.
