When Rockstar Games developed their third entry in the Red Dead series, Red Dead Redemption 2, it followed the exploits of outlaw Arthur Morgan. The game hired the perfect actor for the role, Roger Clark, an Irish American actor with a few films and series roles to his name. Clark worked on the project for years and he was grateful for how Rockstar protected him all that time. But it did come at a cost.

According to Clark, Rockstar had strict NDAs for the game, which were more stringent than those enforced by Disney or Marvel. This level of confidentiality meant that Clark couldn’t tell his close friends about the project he had been working on for years.

The Dragon Ball franchise is almost four decades old and has gifted the fans several memorable moments. From Grandpa Gohan adapting Goku to the latter’s mastered Ultra Instinct transformation, it has truly been one of the greatest stories ever told. The worldwide popularity of the series has led to the creation of multiple fan theories. While some fan theories are interesting, others are not so great.
Goku and Vegeta traversed perilous roads until they overcame all the odds to become the most potent protagonists. Even though Goku’s latest transformation is Ultra Instinct, the latest fan theory suggests that there is another transformation that might soon come to the surface. The transformation was hinted at during the Cell Saga in Dragon Ball Z.

The manga industry has been gifted with a lot of talented creators, including Masashi Kishimoto and Hiro Mashima, i.e. the genius minds behind Naruto and Fairy Tail respectively. However, all of these mangakas have different styles and approaches based on their own personal preferences and ways of thinking, and not all of them follow the same process while developing their respective storylines.
(L-r): Naruto and Fairy Tail.
That being, mangaka Mashima sensei even proved this claim that not all mangakas use the same approach while curating their masterpieces by revealing how he had no idea how one of his best manga projects would ever end. This goes contradictory to Mangaka Kishimoto sensei, who once revealed that he had known right from the beginning how he wanted to end his iconic saga!

Minecraft, one of the most popular games ever, has a relatively chill community, which is only natural considering the nature of the game—or so it was assumed, until a recent Reddit post came up, complaining about the tryhard nature of some players.

Actors are often faced with walking a tightrope between their creative ambitions and the strict guidelines laid down by the all-powerful Marvel Studios. One such actor, Anthony Mackie, who has played the iconic character Falcon / Sam Wilson / Captain America in several MCU films, recently opened up about the creative constraints that actors face behind the scenes.
Mackie has made a name for himself as an action star thanks to his work as Captain America. Of course, because of his success as Sam Wilson, the actor, 45, has been able to venture outside of the comic book industry. This includes his starring role (John Doe) in the Twisted Metal series. How was his time working away from MCU, then?

MrBeast will serve as host and executive producer of “Beast Games.” No premiere date has been set for the show, which will be available exclusively on Prime Video worldwide. Variety previously reported that MrBeast was in talks with Prime Video for a reality-competition show.

Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, is one of YouTube’s greatest sensations. He is known for the unbelievable and out-of-the-box challenges that he often attempts, and one such particular challenge of his has seemed to catch the spotlight.
Out of the many channels he operates, MrBeast runs a gaming channel, and many of the watchers believe that his challenge of surviving 100 days straight in Hardcore Minecraft is one of the most painful challenges he has ever taken.

It never gets easier to look up the horrors of what real life humans are willing to perpetrate but some of them are harder than others. Looking into the purported Scottish myth that inspired The Hills Have Eyes for example is a whole heck of a lot easier to do than find out the absolutely abysmal crimes that were committed against a young girl in The Girl Next Door. Sadly, today’s movie The Snowtown Murders, a.k.a. Snowtown (watch it Here), is a lot closer to the sickening facts that happened to The Girl Next Door. While Australia already got our notorious spotlight shined on the fictional Mick Taylor who was a composite of two backpack killers, today we will look at the man who is known as the country’s worst serial killer and unpack what he did and who with. The movie is hard to watch...

Where is Kate Middleton? That’s the question the internet’s been asking a lot as rumors fly about the Princess of Wales’ whereabouts as she recovers from surgery. One conspiracy theory — or should we say “Katespiracy” — attempted to answer the question, citing a medically induced coma. However, royal aides quickly shut down the idea, calling it “total nonsense.”
The Kate Middleton coma conspiracy theory explained
Kate underwent a “planned” abdominal surgery on Jan. 16, 2024, with Kensington Palace announcing the news a day later. She then spent nearly two weeks recovering before leaving to continue recuperating at Adelaide Cottage, the Wales family home in Windsor, England.
Kate’s last public appearance before surgery happened on Christmas Day 2023. She, Prince William, and their three children, along with other British royals, took part in the traditional walk to church.
Since then, however, not even a behind-the-scenes photo of Kate, a move a commentator recommended to quash rumors,...

As the PS5 enters its fourth year, the console is really starting to hit its stride with its game library. Most game studios are finally moving away from cross-generation releases on the PS4, which means we have some truly exciting games coming in 2024 that harness the full capabilities of the PS5 hardware.
2023 set a high standard for PS5 owners with blockbuster games like Diablo 4, Spider-Man 2, Street Fighter 6, and more being launched. Can 2024 match that output, or maybe even surpass it? Here are five games coming to PS5 in 2024 that may just do exactly that.

Prince Harry is poised to become even more involved in the Invictus Games. A commentator says the Duke of Sussex, despite having lived in California since 2020, must find a way to get “comfortable” in his post-working royal existence. And the games, which began in 2014, will likely be his answer.
Harry’s future is ‘uncertain’ 3 years after moving to California
The Duke of Sussex has called California home since relocating stateside in 2020 with Meghan Markle and their now-4-year-old son, Prince Archie. Today, they’re a family of four, having welcomed a daughter, Princess Lilibet, 2, in 2021.

“The Hunger Games” prequel “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” is nearing the $100 million mark worldwide after three days of release.
Those ticket sales, including $44 million in North America and $54.5 million internationally, were enough to top the box office. But they didn’t come close to recapturing the glory of the original “Hunger Games” franchise, which launched Jennifer Lawerence to stardom and collectively grossed $3 billion globally. The first four installments, released between 2012 and 2015, each generated at least $100 million domestically and $200 million globally in their respective opening weekends.
“We were a little lighter [than projections] domestically and a little over [projections] internationally, so we’re thrilled with the result,” says Adam Fogelson, vice chairman of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. “It’ll be a great business result for the studio.”
Analysts agree “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” is well positioned, financially speaking, in its theatrical run. It cost $100 million to produce, more than the first “Hunger Games,...

The odds were ever in favor of “The Hunger Games” prequel “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” which emerged victorious in a busy box office weekend despite opening slightly behind expectations.
The Lionsgate film, which brings audiences back to the dystopia of Panem for the first time in nearly a decade, collected $44 million from 3,776 North American theaters and $98 million globally in its first weekend of release. Those initial ticket sales didn’t recapture the spark of the original franchise, which propelled Jennifer Lawerence to global stardom and inspired three sequels. But they were enough to win the weekend over three fellow newcomers, Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s threequel “Trolls Band Together,” Sony’s gory thriller “Thanksgiving” and director Taika Waititi’s sports comedy “Next Goal Wins.”

Spoiler Alert: The following review contains mild spoilers.
Amusing ourselves to death. That’s what media critic Neil Postman called the phenomenon that “The Hunger Games” author Suzanne Collins took to its natural extreme, penning a dystopian YA trilogy whose four-film adaptation minted Lionsgate nearly $3 billion at the global box office. Much like “Harry Potter,” the book series whose Hollywood success made this franchise possible, the big-screen adaptations took a few false steps before hitting their stride with a single director — in this case, Francis Lawrence — who now returns to helm a prequel (far better than the “Fantastic Beasts” movies) that impressively expands the canon while honoring its key themes.
“The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” feels like a natural extension of the saga, balancing blood sport, endangered young love and a heightened level of political commentary that respects the intelligence of young audiences as only Collins can.

What is the root of evil? In the YA fiction genre, storytellers often source it to bad breakups and torn friendships, which can transform Prince Charming into the Prince of Darkness. Plain evil isn’t engaging, but evil for evil’s sake can be wildly compelling,...

After a historic season that saw the Boston Bruins go 65-12-5 for 135 points, with an absurd goal differential of +128… they lost to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of the first round of the NHL Playoffs. It’s a disappointing result, compounded by the fact that future Hall of Famer Patrice Bergeron chose to hang up the skates over the summer. He’s doing it on a high note after the best season in wins and points for a team in NHL history, plus a second straight Selke Trophy to boot.
Despite losing a talent like Bergeron, Boston will be looking to pick up in 2023-24 where they left last season off. Their d-core is one of the best in the NHL, with rugged Charlie McAvoy eating minutes on the top pair, along with Hampus Lindholm. They are rock-solid in the net as well, with Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman sharing the crease.
