Starring a then-unknown Harry Hamlin, along with veteran stars like Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Burgess Meredith, and Ursula Andress, the film was loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus (Hamlin), weaving in strands of other mythologies and legends and putting its hero into conflict with creatures like the Kraken, Calibos, Medusa the Gorgon and a two-headed dog named Dioskilos. “Greek and Roman myths contained characters and fantastic creatures that were ideal for cinematic adventures,” wrote Harryhausen in his memoir, Ray Harryhausen: An Animated Life....

“It’s like nothing I’ve ever done before,” Raimi tells Den of Geek. “On other games I’ve done before, developers will create characters based on images of you, and then you come in later and just voice the thing. But for The Quarry, my castmates and I were on set, interacting with each other in real-time. All of the nuance in our performances shine through in the game and make it much more cinematic and frightening....

In addition to securing a theatrical release and a $100 million (or so) budget for the “smaller” Nolan picture, the filmmaker behind Inception, Tenet, and The Dark Knight Trilogy also demanded his next studio put up an equally steep $100 million marketing budget for the film, and guarantee that the movie’s 100-day theatrical window (which the trade reports might actually be closer to 130 days) come with an exclusive six-week corridor upon release....

“I am very happy and excited to announce the release date of Elden Ring, a new game created by Mr. Miyazaki and Mr. George R.R. Martin, two creators that I truly admire and have a passionate fan base around the world. I am very happy and excited to be able to tell you about it,” Miyakawa says. “We will continue to develop Elden Ring not only as a game but also in a variety of other areas in order to deliver the worldview and charm of this title to our fans around the world....

While series protagonist Chris Redfield has gone off to join the BSAA during this time, Leon and Claire decide to fight bio-organic weapons in their own way. Leon is now employed by the White House after saving President Graham’s daughter, Ashley, from Los Iluminados in Resident Evil 4, while Claire is working with an NGO in the war-torn nation of Penamstan. But in Infinite Darkness, the new four-episode series out on Netflix, the Resident Evil 2 stars must team up once again to stop a new virus from spreading around the world....

While Shadow and Bone has yet to get an official Season 2 order from Netflix, a continuation of the epic fantasy series based on the Grishaverse book series by Leigh Bardugo seems inevitable. The first season of the fantasy drama dropped on Netflix on Friday and, as much as it tells a satisfying story, it is very obviously setting up a seasons-long saga that will take us through the three books of the Shadow and Bone book series and the the two books of the Six of Crows series....

In an interview on The Rich Eisen Show, Moff Gideon actor Giancarlo Esposito responded to the host’s question about more Mandalorian with a brisk and confident, “You will get it soon.” Esposito went on to say that although he had more to do regarding his character, presumably reshoots, he believes the release of season three “will be sometime this summer.” With authority, Esposito clarified, “No date set yet, but coming soon....

With just one episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi left, there are still plenty of questions on fans’ minds. How will the Jedi Master escape the wrath of Darth Vader and finally deliver Princess Leia back to Alderaan? What is Reva’s plan for little Luke Skywalker back on Tatooine? Will Ewan McGregor finally say the thing? But even those pale in comparison to the million dollar question: will Obi-Wan Kenobi end with the return of Liam Neeson to the Star Wars universe in the form of Qui-Gon Jinn’s Force ghost?...

WandaVision is in its home stretch, with one big “villain” reveal hitting at the end of episode 7, and more expected any episode now. Agatha Harkness’ basement gave off some real strong bad gal vibes, but historically in the comics she’s never been the mastermind behind Wanda’s troubles, so much of the world is expecting another. And while all the speculation so far has centered on Mephisto – justifiably so, considering his history with Wanda, Billy, Tommy, and Master Pandemonium’s arms – we think there’s one dark horse contender that not enough people have been talking about....

Stallone, who announced his plan for a new Rocky IV cut last year, has completed his redux of the famous franchise‘s four-quel. However, unlike that other director’s cut dominating current conversations, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Sly’s upcoming Rocky IV Director’s Cut is an update of a film that was properly released by its director. Having premiered back on Nov. 27, 1985, Rocky IV was a box-office-topping hit for studio MGM, with a worldwide gross of $300 million ($733....

According to the YouTube channel Modern Vintage Gamer (and other software researchers), the Xbox Series X/S’ can relatively easily be turned into some of the most powerful and appealing video game emulators in the world. How is that possible? The video above has the full details, but the basic idea is that the Xbox’s built-in developer mode can be used as a backdoor for certain emulation software. You’ll need to pay a fee to access the mode, navigate a sometimes tricky installation process, and (we should be very clear about this) potentially violate several laws and warranties based on your individual actions, but it is possible to emulate the Dreamcast, PlayStation, Gamecube, and other retro consoles on the Xbox Series X/S....

Like the Gossip Girl TV show before it, the new Gossip Girl is set at Constance Billard, an elite private school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. In the trailer, we see new girl Zoya (Whitney Peak) arrive at Constance Billard, and the members of the long-established rich kids social circle circling like buzzards. It isn’t long before Gossip Girl, the moniker of a social media presence that spies on the privileged social circle, rears her ugly head....

You can check out the cool design of the device in the photo above! If you want to be the first to get the Zelda Game and Watch, you’ll want to make sure to get your pre-order in ASAP as soon as the handheld goes on sale. As you all know, Nintendo products tend to sell out before they even hit shelves! And as the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 pre-order periods showed us, you won’t just be competing with other Nintendo fans....

One of the biggest console wars ever was the beef between Nintendo’s Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and the Sega Genesis. The rivalry was epitomized by marketing campaigns that dunked on the competition, claiming that one console was the end all, be all of gaming. This is how we ended up with famous terms such as “blast processing,” as well as timeless slogans like “Sega does what Nintendon’t.” More importantly, we ended up with a library of titles that influenced the gaming industry for years to game....

Season 1 hit during COVID, and the show showcased store owners fighting to stay afloat in the middle of the pandemic. Each of the shops’ unique history was laid out. Season 2 highlighted the vintage toys. A Toy Store Near You season 3 The travels the globe to visit favorite toy stores and meet the small business owners who keep the vintage toy community running. “Hard work, resiliency and passion are terms forever synonymous with the toy industry because of the wonderful people who help the industry thrive,” Nacelle Company Founder and CEO Brian Volk-Weiss says....

WWF No Mercy is so beloved that it’s often hard to get someone to analytically break it down without eventually succumbing to wistful ramblings. Yet, the qualities that made the game so special really aren’t that complicated. In fact, much of the game’s success can be attributed to how uncomplicated it was. Essentially an evolution of developer AKI Corporation’s previous N64 wrestling games (which notably included WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF WrestleMania 2000), No Mercy‘s calling card was its arcade-like gameplay that emphasized a rock/paper/scissors style system of stong/weak grapples, strikes, and counters....

Highlights on Prime this month? Anthony Horowitz’s Alex Rider book series gets the TV treatment, This Is Us returns for season 4 after Channel 4 abandoned the UK broadcast rights to the hit series last year, and El Presidente explores the 2015 FIFA Gate corruption scandal for dramatic purposes. Elsewhere, A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon will be streaming, as will 2018’s terrifically underrated dark comedy Game Night, starring Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams....

Andor Episode 8 In episode 8 of Andor, half of the action is a Star Wars version of the Shawshank Redemption, and there’s something about this specific incarceration that feels a bit on the fake side of the Force, like the Disneyland version of a space prison. Andor episode 8 is good, but as we watch humans literally build the cogs that make the machines of the Empire work, one can’t help but wonder, are we getting a bit too granular with the logistics of Star Wars?...

The conclusion of the Aquaman movie certainly left the door open for Aquaman 2 to happen. Whether it’s Arthur’s conciliatory “we’ll talk” to Patrick Wilson’s Orm after their climactic confrontation (which teases the possibility that Ocean Master will return) or the post-credits scene that has much wider implications for Black Manta’s eventual emergence as one of the most important villains in Aquaman history, there’s plenty of reason to believe that Aquaman 2 could make a bigger creative splash than the first film....

Attack on Titan Season 4 Episode 23 “I’m fully aware that I’ve committed irredeemable sins. If it’s for returning to my father I won’t hesitate to repeat what I did.” The last time that Annie Leonhart was a focal point in Attack on Titan was when Eren was raining blows upon her Female Titan. Eren yells out during this tense season one showdown that he will “destroy the world,” yet in this moment his words feel inspirational and function as an early glimpse of Eren’s acceptance over his role as a hero....
