Sony’s PlayStation5 could use AI to create dynamic auditory combat encounters based upon player input. The company recently patented an all new music generating system designed exclusively to improve immersion within a gaming space. Audio cues and soundtracks could organically adapt to reflect how a player is feeling in a given moment in order to produce a more realistic

Following big circuits AMC and Regal, Cinemark has reversed its face mask policy for guests as the chain plans its reopening from the COVID-19 shutdown. “For the safety of our guests, employees and communities, Cinemark will require that face masks be worn throughout our theatres. Masks may be removed when eating and drinking inside the

This is especially the case after the events of Season 3, which (spoiler alert for anyone not caught up), teases a world doomed for destruction unless Bernard can find a way to save humanity. The show has gone a lot deeper with its concept than even the movie’s creator, Michael Crichton, may have taken it,

Micah Bell may be the villain of Red Dead Redemption 2, but judging from John Marston’s actions in both the original Red Dead Redemption and its sequel, it appears John may not be much better than him. It may seem counter-intuitive to suggest that Micah and John Marston are both the same level of evil, especially since John

The Disney catalog joined Universal’s this weekend in playing whatever theaters were open at the box office as the majority of exhibition’s 5,9K theaters remain shuttered nationwide due to COVID-19. Overall, ticket sales continued to be distressed. Disney’s 2016 Oscar-winning hit Zootopia took the top spot with an estimated $280K, putting its liftime total at $341.5M,

Within the past few years, the late King of Pop’s daughter, Paris Jackson, has started to embrace her familial celebrity status by taking on more acting roles. The 22-year-old’s next project, Habit, was sure to become controversial since she’ll be channeling Jesus by donning tousled waves, a traditional robe and all for the flick co-starring

The leading live streaming platform, Twitch, is pulling in bigger numbers than hit network television shows these days. As big name streamers and Esports competitions rack up hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers throughout the day, the total audience numbers for the video game and lifestyle streaming videos on Twitch are rivaling the viewership of mainstream

EXCLUSIVE: The recent surge nationwide of coronavirus cases and California Governor Gavin Newsom‘s recent promise for tougher restrictions in Los Angeles tomorrow has many in exhibition and distribution really concerned that there’s no hard date in immediate sight as to when the big circuits will reopen again. I hear that after July 4, there will be

Whoa, back up…. three months of training for a single scene? We cannot be sure what sequence Anne Hathaway is referring to from Inception or whether she’d exaggerated the numbers in her head years later, but it’s a known fact that Joseph Gordon-Levitt trained hard for that movie. His most rigorous scene was the gravity-defying

A Revenge sequel TV show is no longer in the works at ABC, with the network passing on the series. Created for TV by Mike Kelley, Revenge followed Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp), a young woman who moves to the Hamptons to avenge her father. The show ran for four seasons, starting in 2011 and ending its run in 2015. In

As expected with NYC and LA cinemas still not opened, and Tenet, the first big event pic heading to Aug. 12, the No. 1 exhibitor in the U.S., Europe and the Middle East, AMC, will now reopen its circuit on July 30 instead of July 15. On the new date, the Leawood, KS-based chain will

28 Days Later 28 Days Later was a riveting and revolutionary zombie movie, and while 28 Weeks Later wasn’t quite the cinematic classic, it still held its own as a serviceable horror. The crown jewel of this franchise is seeing how the world improves/deteriorates in the wake of this insane situation, which is why there

Costume designers Sharen Davis and Meghan Kasperlik have revealed early Watchmen art showing Regina King as Sister Night in a more traditional nun costume compared to the one she eventually wore in the show. The HBO show was released to rave reviews last year, mainly thanks to its intelligent narrative, and the way it expanded

After Warner Bros. put Wonder Woman 1984 on Oct. 2, Paramount has moved Skydance’s Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse to Feb. 26, 2021.  This is a delayed move by Paramount having nothing to do with the recent Tenet shift from July 31 to Aug. 12. Two weeks ago, Warners moved their Petty Jenkins-directed Gal Gadot sequel to the autumn weekend they

The BET Awards were held this evening, featuring a performance from Jennifer Hudson, and tied to that special appearance is this exciting Respect trailer. Directed by Liesl Tommy, the film features an outstanding cast including Forest Whitaker, Marlon Wayans, Audra McDonald, Queen Latifah, and Mary J. Blige, and tells the story of how Aretha Franklin

Hugh Jackman’s reunion with the rest of his original X-Men movie co-stars is hilariously hijacked by Ryan Reynolds. The pair’s prank war prominently started several years ago at the height of Reynolds’ debut as Deadpool, with fans hoping that the Australian actor will reprise his role as the fan-favorite mutant in the Marvel/Fox film. That didn’t happen even

It’s official — at least for the time being: Disney said Friday it is moving Niki Caro’s Mulan release date from July 25 to August 21, the weekend after Tenet‘s five-day opening from August 12-16. We were hearing noise about this earlier this week, as we told you, with COVID-19 cases surging nationwide and theaters

But seriously, there’s no better movie in the franchise than Christmas Vacation. It has the best Cousin Eddie moments (“Shitter’s full,” “You serious Clark?”), as well as the “hap, hap, happiest Christmas” meltdown you’ll see anywhere. My wife and I make it a tradition each year to watch Christmas Vacation before anything else after we

Jurassic World 3 is bringing back a character from Jurassic Park but another actor will be portraying the role. The character, Lewis Dodgson, made a brief appearance in the 1993 original film directed by Steven Spielberg but his actions presented the dark side of science involved with the recreation of dinosaurs in modern-day. Cameron Thor played the role

Solstice Studios had said that it wasn’t going to move Unhinged if Tenet moved, but the company had second thoughts and now is jumping the Russell Crowe road-rage movie from July 1 to July 10. That means no movie over the Fourth of July weekend. I’ve heard that AMC is planning an early-July opening, post-Independence Day, and it

Air Force One’s Hero From the very beginning of Air Force One, United States President James Marshall is portrayed as take-no-nonsense and heroic world leader, especially after the rousing speech in the film’s opening minutes. And Marshall doesn’t really back down from there, even when he’s placed in an escape pod. The chunk of the

Evan Rachel Wood could return in Westworld season 4, but not necessarily as Dolores. HBO’s Westworld took a radically different turn in its third season, moving the setting away from the wild west and into the futuristic real world, within which Dolores was running wild after her escape from Delos. Westworld left Dolores’ intentions for humanity deliberately vague,

Warner Bros. is moving its Christopher Nolan action thriller Tenet again — this time from Friday, July 31, to Wednesday, August 12. Nolan’s 10th anniversary reissue of Inception now will open on July 31 instead of July 17. The decision comes in the wake of COVID-19 cases spiking to a new national high of 45K on Wednesday, and

Along with the previously mentioned actors, Enola Holmes stars Helena Bonham Carter as Eudoria Holmes, the mother of the Holmes siblings, as well as Fiona Shaw, Adeel Akhtar, Frances de la Tour, Louis Partridge, Susie Wokoma and Burn Gorman in undisclosed roles. The movie follows Enola, a gifted super-sleuth in her own right, investigating the

Here’s a rundown of every extra found on the Resident Evil: Vendetta Blu-ray. George A. Romero was famously attached to write and direct the original Resident Evil movie, which would have remained relatively close to the first game. Romero was later fired and replaced by Paul W.S. Anderson, with his adaptation bearing little resemblance to

While Disney insiders remain optimistic, it would not be a shocker if the studio moves the first big event movie after exhibition’s COVID-19 shutdown off its July 24 date. There’s just too many gloomy signs out there. Even though the Niki Caro-directed movie built up a great degree of awareness in its marketing earlier this

In Trolls World Tour, Anthony Ramos’ voice is found between the likes of Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson, Anderson Paak, Kenan Thompson, Mary J. Blige, Rachel Bloom, Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell. In order for a cast of this scale to come together, many of them record their lines separately at different times and never actually

Sister Wives fans are thinking that Kody Brown and his third wife Christine Brown are related. Here’s what we think based on their family tree and secrets. The Mormon and polygamist lifestyle have always been a very secretive world that does not always have the best impression on the public. The Brown family chose to be documented in TLC’s

M. Night Shyamalan’s next movie now has a release date. Universal said Tuesday that it will release the writer-director’s untitled thriller on July 23, 2021. The pic, details of which are under wraps, stars Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Aaron Pierre, Alex Wolff and Vicky Krieps. On Monday, Deadline scooped that Abbey Lee, Nikki Amuka-Bird and

That’s right, due to Christopher Nolan’s strangely timed exit from their initial meeting, Rob Pattinson totally thought he was offended by him grabbing for his nearby chocolates. Imagine if that had really been the end of their working relationship? Thankfully for The Lighthouse actor, Nolan doesn’t mind sharing his candy.
