The script for Terminator 2 stated that the end of the world as we know it would come about on 29 August 1997. And with the film’s budget creeping ever closer to – and eventually surpassing – $100 million, they were starting to panic. The leading women in James Cameron’s movies are generally maternal figures; a characteristic shared by Ellen Ripley – Cameron’s previous screen heroine in Aliens – and Connor in the Terminator films. Most notably, of course, was the “nanomorph mimetic poly-alloy” T

After last week’s strong pilot episode of The Mist we had all manner of questions about the creeping condensation that’s taken over the town of Bridgeville. Episode 2 is honestly quite an odd episode after the first’s bold and bloody start but of course asks more questions than it answers. What do the Arrowhead staff know about what’s in the Mist that’s driven them to suicide? ), because he clearly knows who is responsible for the mist, and/or who is able to clean it up. The mist seems quieter t

Edgar Wright leaving Ant-Man is pretty well-documented, but the director has never spoken so candidly on a topic that clearly still stings – until now. The Baby Driver director has opened up on why he won’t watch Ant-Man (and it’s pretty heartbreaking to read). Speaking to Uproxx, Wright had this to say: “I haven’t seen it and I haven’t even seen the trailer. The hardest moment for Wright came when he was just, quite frankly, sitting around twiddling his thumbs while Ant-Man hit cinemas, with Ba

Xur, Destiny’s travelling weekend Exotic trader, carver of miniature sculptures using just the graphite of pencils and an exacto blade, and general plushie aficionado, is back. Some sweet, sweet strange coins tumbling into his palms from your pocket. What remains in Xur’s inventory is *shoulder-shrug*, with nothing as blockbuster-y as the bundles the trader has got going on. Starfire Protocol for the Warlocks gives space magic users an extra fusion grenade for each charge, but that’s about it. T

Rick and Morty season 3 finally has a release date, and it’s even brought along a trailer packed with murder, mayhem and, yes, Pickle Riiiiiick. It’s promising to be their ‘darkest year’ yet, and that prediction might come to pass if Rick doesn’t get his hands on that sweet, sweet Szechuan sauce. No more teasing: the release date is set at July 30th at 11:30pm EST on Adult Swim. That’s putting it mildly…First things first, Pickle Rick – glimpsed at in the season 3 teaser – is here in all of its

Every new piece of Game of Thrones season 7 promotional material seems to stir up the fanbase like a kid poking a hornet’s nest. But 1) it’s nice to know where the idea for this popular pairing came from, and 2) with the liberties the show has already taken, it goes to show that anything can happen. Even, perhaps, a happy ending for these two? “It inspires us because we need to kill one of them now because there can’t be a happy ending or any romantic connection on the show,” Benioff said. Game

Critics have finally got to watch Spider-Man: Homecoming and pretty much everyone loves it. Check out what people are saying about what looks like it might be the best MCU movie in a while. Spider-Man: Homecoming is joyous fun – Collider”The best word to describe Spider-Man: Homecoming is ‘fun.’ Spider-Man: Homecoming’s villain is “compelling and interesting” – Screenrant”On the villain side of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Michael Keaton as Adrian Toomes/Vulture is definitely one of the better and fu

Its bold 2D art style, which recalls classic, mid-20th century animations, and engaging, tough boss battles catapulted Cuphead to everyone’s most anticipated list. “The reality is, Cuphead is closer now to the game we always wanted,” explains Chad, speaking to GamesRadar+. “My brother and I quit our jobs, remortgaged our houses and began expanding the team. But it kept returning to the classic cel animations Cuphead sports today. With levels, StudioMDHR had to learn how give up a little bit of c

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has its first full trailer and it’s irrefutable proof that The Rock and company are making a true video game movie – even if it’s not based on an actual video game. The original Jumanji had some action scenes, sure, but its sequel is going full tongue-in-cheek and over-the-top with stunts and special effects. Seriously, the only things keeping it from proper video game territory are a season pass and a loot box system. The first-person drop into superhero landingTh

Well, Crash Bandicoot is back. The N. Sane Trilogy isn’t a remaster in the traditional sense, but a complete rebuild of all three games in the series. Whether it’s the lush jungles of Hog Wild, riding an adorable tiger across the Great Wall of China, or the underwater diving sections of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, it’s ludicrously pretty. It’s not all doom and gloom though, the N. Sane Trilogy is a perfect reminder of just how gloriously inventive the series is. After being so excited for the rem

The second trailer for Netflix’s upcoming original movie Death Note is here and you can watch it exclusively on GR+. Although the first look had fans reeling from yet another western remake of a manga series, this is another chance to see what director Adam Wingard’s vision for Death Note is and I’m intrigued.

Hot on the heels of the success of Okja, Netflix is powering ahead with its slate of original movies for 2017 – the most exciting of which looks to be a live-action adaptation of the Death Note manga series. Although fans have ‘mixed’ feelings about another western remake of a manga story (which has already inspired several Japanese-language live-action films), the first trailer had its moments. Now director Adam Wingard is here to explain a little more about the movie in an exclusive behind-the
