His story is told to Verge (Bruno Ganz), a mysterious man heard only in voiceover for much of the film. The high number of walkouts during screenings at Cannes would imply that, for a lot of people, it is simply too much. At one point Jack cries for help on behalf of his victim confident in the knowledge that no one will come to her aid. Which begs the question: why would von Trier repent if he doesn’t expect a response? Want more coverage from Cannes Film Festival?

After yesterday’s brief and very colourful live-action Rage 2 teaser that featured very little gameplay footage (apart from someone mashing up a gearbox), we’re not surprised if you came away feeling like you still had a lot of questions about what the game would actually look like. Today’s gameplay trailer is out in all its post-apocalyptic, engine-revving glory, but don’t get distracted by…well, by those two things I just mentioned. In the corners of the trailer you’ll find not one, not two,

After a couple of leaks, we already knew that Rage 2 was going to be part of the E3 2018 games line-up, but now we’ve had an official reveal, a teaser trailer and, yes, a full gameplay trailer that looks suitably epic. Annoyingly there’s no indication as to what quarter of 2019 Rage 2 will arrive, but we’ll get our wingsticks ready regardless. The first Rage 2 trailer shows off gameplay that’s basically Bulletstorm x Mad Max x Doom x Sunset OverdriveBefore you read any more about the game, you h

Rockstar’s magnum opus was chock-full of homophobia and stereotypical queer characters who were only there to be the butt of jokes. Unjaded EmpireThe biggest sea change for queer representation during the decade that followed was Bioware’s lauded RPGs. The first Borderlands featured no queer characters, but for the sequel, writer Anthony Burch – known for webseries Hey Ash, Watcha Playing? While some things have changed for the better over the years, other aspects of queer representation have si

I hope you’re ready to drive (and shoot) angry, because Rage 2’s frenetic action has finally been revealed. The official gameplay trailer for the unlikely post-apocalyptic shooter sequel went live today, following that stylish and somewhat informative live-action Rage 2 trailer from Monday. Avalanche is best known for games like the Just Cause series and – of particular note here – the recent Mad Max game. That open-world expertise should fill out the freeroaming aspects of Rage 2 nicely (they w

What an infernal performance by Old Nic. Their cosy life of snuggles and snacks whilst sitting in front of trashy sci-fi shows is rudely interrupted by the aforementioned cult, led by Jeremiah (Linus Roache). Then, for the final stretch, Mandy switches gears, cleaving to its arresting oddness, but accelerating into a revenge thriller as Cage bottles the essence of every whack-job he’s ever played and then takes his wild-haired, wigged-out, bug-eyed nutjob act to a whole new level. Nightmarish, l

Someone’s been potentially leaking like a sieve when it comes to the Star Wars 9 plot – that, or there’s just a big ol’ blabbermouth about. Reddit user FOOSLS has the skinny on Star Wars 9 and, I know what you’re thinking, it’s just another guy looking for attention, right? Full (possible) spoilers for Star Wars 9 after the Ewok. File this one under ‘not impossible.’If this is how Star Wars 9 plays out, would you be pleased? How closely does that chime with our Star Wars 9 theories?

The movie’s problem feels very akin to how I felt about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: The first film felt fresh and disruptive in an increasingly predictable genre — producing more of the same cannot not recreate that feeling. Zazie Beetz is brilliantly bright as Domino, and her demeanour is one of the comedy successes of the film, but again, you simply don’t get time with her. Those jokes about sequels lined up into the next decade aren’t really jokes, are they?”But the jokes don’t always lan

Blizzard’s widely beloved FPS Overwatch is about to turn two years old – so to celebrate, it’s bringing back all your old favorites (and some new goodies) for its Anniversary 2018 event.

And what a whirl I would’ve had, if not for the following message which greeted me:”You do not have permission to play Fortnite.” How to fix Fortnite’s “You do not have permission to play Fortnite” messageThankfully, one such email did appear, and I was able to log in. Unlink it, log onto the Epic Games account you do want it associated with, and connect the two there. And that’s the story of how I resolved the “You do not have permission to play Fortnite” error. Of course, now I’ve got this ext

Just as importantly, it’s also your last chance to enjoy Fortnite’s dancing Thanos jubilation. The Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup ends tomorrow…Wield the Gauntlet one last time. pic.twitter.com/003JNY4eQ9May 14, 2018Here’s a quick summary of how it works: every round of the Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup mode begins like normal, until a meteor streaks down from the sky (not that meteor) with the Infinity Gauntlet inside. Whichever player reaches and uses the gauntlet first transf

The first official Rage 2 trailer has arrived after a week of unlikely leaks and odd teases and it’s colorful, not just in the vibrant sense. The reveal trailer features zero footage from the game but it does serve as a nice thematic intro. If the original Rage was like Tom Hardy in Mad Max: Fury Road then Rage 2 is more like Tina Turner in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome: loud, stylish, and with an utter disregard for the value of human life. Vehicular races and battles were a big part of the origi

Few filmmakers have the power to tease, torment and shock like Gaspar Noé. But the biggest shock of Noé’s latest film Climax, which premiered last night in the Director’s Fortnight strand of the Cannes Film Festival, is that he’s reignited the creative spark behind his international notoriety. Setting the stage by echoing Irreversible’s chronological mischief, structurally it’s as intrepid as anything in Noé’s filmography. But Climax isn’t just Noé’s best in years, it’s one of the surprise highl

Fifty years young, 2001 last night screened as part of the Cannes Classics strand of the festival. It played in a restored print that has been supervised by Nolan, who is, of course, a champion of celluloid. “It is the most immersive [medium].”“Feeling” and “emotion” are words that are especially apt given Nolan’s own 40-year relationship with 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was one hell of a screening.”2001: A Space Odyssey will be released into UK cinemas on Friday 18 May. For more coverage from the

The Han Solo movie, despite being so obviously entrenched in Star Wars lore, feels like a real fresh start from the franchise. It’s even gone as far as removing something that has been in every single Star Wars movie ever. Despite appearing in every single Star Wars movie, including a near-canon breaking contortion act to get the gold droid in Star Wars: Rogue One, Threepio is sitting out of Han Solo’s origin adventure. Speaking to Uproxx, father-and-son screenwriters for the Han Solo movie Lawr

Three episodes in and we’re no closer to understanding what’s going on in Westworld season 2 . Get ready for action, horror, and even some answers about the true purpose of the park… yes, really! Note: From here on out there are plot spoilers for Westworld season 2, episode 4 – The Riddle of the Sphinx. We join James Delos in an observation room, which would look more at home in Legion than Westworld. After some explanations and a little bit of mutual dependency, the pair break into a lab nearby

Is Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) coming back as a Host in Westworld season 2? That was the question on everybody’s lips ahead of the season premiere, and chatter has only intensified after Westworld season 2, episode 4 – The Riddle of the Sphinx. We see in episode 4 that Bernard has – at some point – printed off a memory ball, used for storing these new types of Host personalities. So, we know that Ford is still pulling the strings in season 2, but the question is: why? He was fully aware that W

Set in some unspecified icy wasteland, when we meet Overgård (Mads Mikkelsen) he’s already crash landed his plane in the arctic. And how refreshing to see a survivor apply common sense to their actions (often in short supply in survival movies). (Image: © Cannes)Comatose throughout, the woman depends on Overgård for survival, but the opposite is also true. All but resigned to his fate when we meet him, Overgård’s connection to the woman is what drives him forward. Even taking movie magic into ac

Today interstellar shooter Everspace gets a brand new expansion for Xbox One, which includes ten hours of gameplay and 4K support for Xbox One X.
