Godzilla Minus One was released in late 2023, and fans around the world have had the opportunity to see it and enjoy this masterpiece of Japanese cinema. The film was a smashing success, and it also won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, after having triumphed in Japan and Asia. And while the movie was truly amazing, without a doubt, what surprised everyone was that the movie – which earned $115.8 million globally – was made with, as it seems, less than $10 million! Initial reports suggested a budget of $10 to $12 million, but in a recent interview, legendary Japanese video game developer and producer Hideo Kojima revealed that the budget was even smaller, and he claims that the key to the movie’s success lies there!
Kojima has been producing high-quality content for some time now and his most recent major game, Death Stranding, whose sequel is coming out in 2025, showed just how skilled...

Elle Fanning could be trading her bustle for survival gear after being in talks to join the cast of Dan Trachtenberg’s standalone Predator film Badlands. Deadline says Fanning is negotiating for the role in the highly anticipated film, which Trachtenberg is directing and co-writing with Patrick Aison.
Anticipation for Trachtenberg’s Prey follow-up is through the roof. Prey was a surprise smash hit of 2022, with Trachtenberg and star Amber Midthunder arguably delivering the best Predator movie since the 1987 classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Plot details for Badlands remain a mystery, as do the film’s release plans. Prey premiered exclusively on Hulu to record numbers during the pandemic. However, 20th Century Studios is going hard in the paint with its extraterrestrial action flicks and the upcoming Alien: Romulus coming to theaters. It would not be surprising to see Badlands debuting on the silver screen alongside the Xenomorph threat.

Troy Baker is one of the most prominent voice actors in video games, having voiced Joel Miller in The Last of Us and Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite. Baker was part of Hideo Kojima’s final game for Konami, Metal Gear Solid V, playing Revolver Ocelot. The lead voice actor in the game was replaced by a film actor. When Baker was asked about it, he shared that he wasn’t worried about film actors taking over video game roles.

David Hayter, who played Solid Snake in the previous installments, was removed from Metal Gear Solid V without notice. He was replaced by Kiefer Sutherland as Kojima believed he could also bring the subtle facial movements required for the character.

George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is the newest addition to the Mad Max franchise, and the film has never looked as grim and exhilarating at the same time in the series’ history. The film is a treat for every viewer who craves action and an immersive storyline at the same time. Despite the current film being a prequel series, Miller has not held back in creating a violent world as he goes all out in creating a post-apocalyptic world.

Despite having a disappointing run at the box office, Miller has done justice to the film, because he had decided to showcase every dehumanizing feature in the film. However, the director decided to ignore one tragic backstory that would have added to the protagonist’s tragedy.

If there’s one thing Rico Rodriguez from the Just Cause series is good at, it’s surviving. A fearless member of The Agency, Rico has been through harrowing firefights, car chases, and even ridden atop a warhead in an attempt to disarm the explosive.
But none of that would have been possible if the title itself didn’t manage to survive an event that has buried many titles even before launch. While the character is used to performing death-defying stunts, we now know that the title itself had to jump through several hoops to land on market shelves.
The Odds Were Stacked Against Just Cause 2 Fans may never have been able to cause chaos in Just Cause 2.
While it’s not ideal, some games tend to jump studios and publishers during their development cycle. This usually results in several changes being made to the game. Many times, the title...

George Miller is one of the most fantastic storytellers in the entertainment industry, credited with having birthed critically acclaimed projects that range from the comedy/musical Happy Feet to the horror/action Dead Calm.
While he has left fans in the fantasy world through films like Babe, he has also managed to unsettle his audiences through a saga as remarkable as his Mad Max one.

Talking about that, this specific action/adventure universe of his that never ceases to leave his viewers unsettled has not only been in his mind for a long time but has also ascended from themes of his own past.
If anything, the things seen in his lore are widely synonymous with what Miller went through in his past, establishing him as the true legend that many already deem him to be.

At the time of writing this, Sony has just announced the PlayStation State of Play for May 2024. With the summer showcase season, just around the corner, it will be interesting to see how Sony lays out their upcoming slate for the next few years.
Add to that the fact that this is Sony’s time to really shine and show everyone why PlayStation is king. With Xbox failing to deliver the goods as of late, and a lack of first party PS5 titles confirmed, now seems like the perfect time for the PlayStation State of Play to drop.
So below, each member of the FandomWire Gaming team has made a prediction for what they expect to see during the event respectively. I will list these below followed by a bit of commentary on how likely I believe each prediction is:

He described the financial repercussions the team faced whenever they disagreed with any external demands from WB, which led to compromises that ultimately affected the game’s quality and overall vision.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is currently making roars, and it also features a blink-and-miss cameo of the original series’ protagonist. The franchise’s success is no stranger to entertainment enthusiasts, but Avalanche’s 2015 video game didn’t get as much love as the movies. The sales were a topic of debate as it was beaten by Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Avalanche Studios co-founder Christofer Sundberg still hasn’t gone over it yet, as he revealed people blamed them for bad sales. It was the United Kingdom’s second bestseller following the first week of its release and was the eighth-bestselling game in the United States in the first month.

When the very first Mad Max movie was released in 1979, no one could have predicted the heights to which the franchise would climb. Since then, there have been six feature-length films, and the franchise has also branched out into other forms of media, such as comics and video games.
With the release of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, George Miller has been asked a lot about the movie and the future of the franchise. One question asked was whether he ever envisioned another video game for the franchise, and Miller said it could only be done by a very specific person.
Mad Max Director George Miller Trusts Hideo Kojima Implicitly Mad Max 2015 did not sit well with Miller.
The release of Mad Max: Fury Road led to the launch of the Mad Max game. You would not have been faulted for dismissing the title as just another movie spin-off, as those games are rarely good.

During an interview with Gaming Bible, Furiosa director George Miller was asked about the possibility of a new Mad Max video game. Somewhat surprisingly, Miller not only referenced developer Avalanche Studios’ 2015 Mad Max video game but confessed that he was disappointed in that title.
“It wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be,” said Miller of the most recent Mad Max game. “We gave all of our material to a company to do it. But, you know, I’m one of those people who would rather not do something unless you can do it at the highest level or at least try to make it at a higher level.”
Well…ouch. So, what about the possibility of another Mad Max game somewhere down the (fury) road? Miller isn’t making any promises, but there is one person he’d love to see take a crack at the concept.

Ubisoft must be hoping to make up for the flop shows like Skull and Bones. The developer is back again with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game is set in feudal Japan and features a couple of protagonists, namely Yasuke and Naoe. Former of which attracted some foul attention, and the controversy is still on.
However, fans might have something new to talk about as enthusiasts across the globe preorder the game. Intriguingly, they are preordering the Gold Edition instead of the Limited Edition of the game. The former is expensive and includes the base game and season pass, while the latter includes a Sekiryu Character Pack in place of the season pass.
That’s Either Madness or Assassin’s Creed Has Still Got the Charm The samurai in the game is based on the historical figure Yasuke.

Some of these titles were the reason for a lot of hype among gamers. Regardless, fans post about some of these games on social media after their cancellation. And video game studios should reconsider their decision to cancel them.

It is often an agreement between veteran directors that the usage of CGI should be kept to a minimum when creating cinematic movies. Director George Miller who directed both Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and the 1982 film Mad Max 2 or The Road Warrior, seems to agree with these statements.
Relying mostly on stunt people and real explosions for his movies, Miller is known for the iconic Mad Max franchise. In an interview, the director revealed that if the 1980s had the technology of today, his stuntmen and women would have been much safer.

During the run of the show, iconic actor Norman Reedus portrayed the role of Daryl Dixon in The Walking Dead. Being an integral character of the show, Reedus was there for all the big moments. However, doing his own stunts cost the actor quite a lot of pain, and hence… quite a lot of Advil!

Despite ancient humans having already overcome several potential doomsday scenarios in real life, post-apocalyptic fiction used to be relatively rare until the invention of the atomic bomb convinced us that the end of the world could be just around the proverbial corner.
Since then, we’ve seen many different stories about the collapse of civilization and the strange societies that might emerge from the rubble, but I’d argue that one of the most interesting of these apocalyptic visions is the post-nuclear America of the iconic Fallout games. A witty satire of American jingoism and cold war shenanigans, it’s honestly baffling that it so long for us to finally see a live-action adaptation of this memorable setting.
Thankfully, Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet’s Fallout TV show isn’t just a great adaptation – it’s also an incredibly fun standalone story that makes the most of its post-apocalyptic worldbuilding.
