Fans of the upcoming video game, Star Wars Outlaws, are eagerly awaiting the official story trailer set to release on April 9th. However, some fans have already expressed their disappointment in the game, even before the trailer has aired.
This sentiment is due in part to Ubisoft’s inconsistent track record of delivering games that do not live up to their initial trailers in recent years. It remains to be seen whether this negative perception will affect the game’s success upon release.

While there are a lot of theories that the Elden Ring fan base comes up with regularly, only a few of them manage to stick around and leave their mark. One such speculation has been made by a user on Reddit, and it is sure to make you think about your knowledge of the game’s storyline once again.
Posted as a comment on the game’s subreddit where the original poster asked players for theories they believe in without any concrete evidence, the user predicted how Mohg and Morgott might have worked together. This has the potential to change the whole narrative of how the kidnapping of Miquella might have happened, and how Morgott might have helped in the process.

The MonsterVerse franchise is an underrated contender in the cinematic universe wars, with a clear watching order that avoids confusion or an overwhelming number of entries. Part of the success of the franchise is that the continuity and canon are not overly complicated — well, it is a franchise about giant monsters punching each other in the face, after all.
After doing what all big cinematic universes do and expanding to TV — albeit with a really good show in this case, the MonsterVerse is back on the big screen with "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire." The movie is set to not only bring the King of the Monsters and the Eighth Wonder of the World together once again but also bring a bit of a buddy-cop vibe to the MonsterVerse.

It was a competitive week on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the tracking week that ended March 21, but it wasn’t the battle for the top spot we anticipated. While our racetrack odds projected a close race for number-one between Ariana Grande (“Eternal Sunshine“) and Justin Timberlake (“Everything I Thought It Was”), it actually turned out to be a fight between Grande and Kacey Musgraves (“Deeper Well“), with only 3,500 album units making the difference between first and second place.

“Eternal Sunshine” achieved its second week in the top spot with 100,500 equivalent album units based on its combined record sales, individual track sales and online streaming performance. “Deeper Well” was right behind with 97,000 units, which is the highest total of Musgraves’s career.

The third installment of the Sands: International Film Festival of St Andrews has set its slate, and that will include director Steven Soderbergh engaging in a conversation with directors Anthony and Joe Russo. I will moderate that discussion, which will touch on the preposterously unlikely way that Soderbergh discovered and godfathered the career of the duo that directed Hollywood’s all-time highest grossing film, Avengers: Endgame. The festival runs next month from April 19-21.
Soderbergh’s own career took off with sex, lies, and videotape, the film that just celebrated 35 years since the filmmaker turned Sundance into a lucrative independent film hatchery. It went on to win the Palme d’Or at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival, followed by Soderbergh’s first Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

Listening to Justin Timberlake’s Everything I Thought It Was feels like plugging your headphones into a giant gray styrofoam block. While the album manages to steer clear of the misguided Americana pitfalls of 2018’s Man of the Woods, it instead delivers a sound that’s devoid of a distinct artistic identity. Its predecessor at least found Timberlake daring to venture into new territory and trying make a statement of some kind, no matter how ridiculous.
Everything I Thought It Was’s lead single, “Selfish,” is an underwhelmingly mopey nice-guy anthem marked by humming organs and pre-programmed drum patterns. Timberlake’s vocal performance emits small doses of insecurity that feel sincere and unaffected, but one would be hard-pressed to remember a lead single from a major star with a chorus this weak or production choices this humdrum.

Justin Timberlake‘s “Everything I Thought It Was” was released on Friday, March 15. It’s his first new studio album since “Man of the Woods” six years ago. But will it return him to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart? Gold Derby users have made their predictions, and they say it’ll be a close contest between “Everything” and the second week of Ariana Grande‘s “Eternal Sunshine,” which released on March 8. Grande actually gets the slight edge in their head-to-head.

On Tuesday, March 5, Foo Fighters will take a rare detour from stadium, arena and amphitheater stages to perform at a private, one-night-only concert in Washington, D.C. hosted by Power to the Patients, a non-profit fighting for a more affordable, accessible, and equitable healthcare system through true price transparency.
Find out more about the concert here.
Hip hop legends Fat Joe and Chuck D will also be in attendance.
“When we were asked by Power to the Patients to help raise awareness of the need for transparency in healthcare pricing, we immediately said yes. People suffering from illness and injury shouldn’t have to worry about being bankrupted by surprise charges for their treatment.” — Foo Fighters
With lawmakers, government officials, and their dedicated staff in attendance, Foo Fighters will join the drive to raise awareness about the inequality and uncertainty created for millions of patients when hospitals and insurers hide actual upfront prices.

With American primaries and presidential elections lasting sometimes up to 18 months, it’s no wonder Hollywood cannot seem to get enough of campaign-trail dramas. From quirky comedies, to serious thrillers based on real events, there seems to be an infinite amount of scripts and stories to tell, each offering a different angle on the subject of electoral shenanigans and political intrigue.
The UK may not do elections on the same mammoth scale as its American cousins, but like it or not, right now we do not seem to go more than a year without one major political race or another. With a surprise general election taking place today what better time for us to take a look at some of the most memorable films about elections ever made?

[Editor’s Note: The following interview has spoilers for “The Leftovers” Season 3 Episode 6 “Certified.”]
Like everyone else, the first thing Amy Brenneman wanted to know after reading the script for Episode 6, “Certified,” was, “Did Laurie kill herself?”
So she asked Damon Lindelof.
“I needed to get from Damon what Laurie’s intention was at that moment,” Brenneman said in a recent interview. “And he clarified, ‘She does intend to kill herself.'”

That moment capped an emotionally devastating episode of “The Leftovers,” and even though every hour of the HBO drama carries soul-shattering power to one degree or another, the latest Laurie-centric hour started with a suicide attempt — set before the events of Season 1 — and ended with another. In between, Nora (Carrie Coon) made a choice that could be seen as suicidal, and the opening credits song was “1-800 Suicide” by Gravediggaz.
So, it was an especially tough hour.

Matt Damon and George Clooney are best friends. And as such, we can only presume they engage in the usual pastimes of celebrity BFFs, such as dining out at swanky restaurants with their wives, calling each other up to compare notes on the latest Oscar-worthy screenplay they’re reading, examining the finer points of their new multi-million dollar business venture, and of course, discussing what they plan on wearing the next day. But it seems the pair may not be quite as in sync on that last front as they thought, attending CinemaCon in two outfits that demonstrate the actors...

The Vampire Diaries traveled to the TV graveyard just a few days ago, but did it do so gracefully?
On The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 16, Stefan died to save Mystic Falls, while Damon and Elena got to spend a lifetime together, before passing on to be with their loved ones.
Below, TV Fanatics Mandy Treccia, Justin Carreiro and Paul Dailly, react to Stefan's death, Katherine's snark and what those final scenes meant...
React to Stefan's sacrifice.
Mandy: I loved it. I suspected it would happen, but I still wasn't prepared for the moment. It showed how much both brothers have grown over the series. And it brought them full circle. Stefan forced Damon to become a vampire. Now, he's returned his human life to him. It was a beautiful end to their story.
Justin: He did a noble thing, and I am proud of Stefan. Like Mandy, I expected this would happen to the character.

Vampire shows have had a good, healthy run on television, but lately, the landscape for them has seemed anemic.
“The Vampire Diaries” ends its impressive eight-year run on Friday, coincidentally the 20th anniversary of TV’s iconic “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (and the moment that Buffy Summers arrived at the Hellmouth).
This convergence of events is a reminder that only a few years ago, vampires were the hottest trend on TV. Even when “Buffy” and its spinoff “Angel” ended, “The Vampire Diaries” and “True Blood” were there to take up the bloody mantle. But with those shows also gone, the vampire genre appears to be an endangered species.

Jimmy Kimmel admits to Et's Cameron Mathison that he's had a change of heart towards his frenemy of 12 years, Matt Damon.
"He's such a sad person. I feel it's gone from anger to sympathy," the 49-year-old comedian said of The Great Wall star. "I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for his wife, [Luciana Barroso]. She's a lovely woman, [and] she has to live with him. I feel sorry for the Great Wall of China that had to be in a movie with him."

With his wife Amal expecting twins, George Clooney will likely soon have his evenings consumed with changing diapers and tearful tots. So it’s no surprise that the first-time dad-to-be is enjoying a little guys’ night out when he can.
The 55-year-old Oscar winner was spotted on Friday night leaving the famed Hollywood hotspot Craig’s restaurant where he grabbed dinner with longtime friend Rande Gerber.
His night out comes as the Clooneys have started nesting in their recently renovated English mansion west of London, where they spent the holidays and were spotted taking a stroll down the bank of the River Thames in mid-January.

Lego Dimensions‘ Sonic The Hedgehog Level Pack expansion is almost here, and while the marriage of plastic bricks with a lightning-fast hedgehog sounds like a combination less suited to be together than chalk and cheese, think again – it looks like Tt Games has nailed it.

Interactive Entertainment producer Doug Heder showcased some of the Blue Blur-themed content headed to the crossover extravaganza, including a walkthrough of a 3D Green Hill Zone, complete with Badniks and Sonic’s trademark Spin Dash.
Everything may look a little more ‘square’ than you’d expect of a Sega-created Sonic title, but the level of authenticity is top-notch, even including a recreation of the iconic intro from the original Genesis games.

Chicago – There were basically two careers for Pierre Morel, before he directed the mega-hit “Taken,” starring Liam Neeson, and afterward. The French-born cinematographer, camera operator and now director is releasing “The Gunman,” an action film that stars Sean Penn. Like “Taken,” the motivations for the action are based in the real world, and “The Gunman” travels to Africa, London and Barcelona on his way to redeeming his soul.
Morel has had an adventurous career, in both European cinema and in notable films, beginning with his days as a camera operator on “The Truth about Charlie” (2002), “The Dreamers” (2003) and “Before Sunset” (2004). He was the cinematographer on “The Transporter” (2002) and Director of Photography on “Love and Other Disasters” (2006). His breakthrough came in 2008, when he directed “Taken.” The film resonated with audiences, and allowed his career to move into a new direction.

There used to be a time when nothing was more cringe-worthy than a middle-aged action hero. Remember Roger Moore smooching Bond Girls 30 years his junior in the twilight years of his 007 reign? Or Sean Connery trying to recapture the glory days next to Catherine Zeta-Jones in Entrapment? That was then and this is now.
The slightly creaking older leading man is now a sizeable mini-industry in itself, primarily thanks to Liam Neeson's Bryan Mills in the Taken series. Beyond that Denzel Washington had The Equalizer, Kevin Costner had 3 Days to Kills and every action icon you remember from the '80s united for The Expendables.

Just as sex scandals are pretty much as old as politics themselves, as long as we've had films, we've had cinematic depictions of sex scandals, usually serious and sometimes comedic. Whether filmmakers have had to be coy about the nature of the scandals -- see "The Best Man" or "Advise and Consent" -- or whether filmmakers have been able to directly tear sex scandals from the headlines -- see "Primary Colors" -- the ground has been fertile. Fortunately -- Unfortunately? -- sex scandals just keep coming along and we keep lapping them up, from Eliot Spitzer to John Edwards to Anthony Weiner. Bringing the genre to Sundance this year was "Zipper," a largely straight-faced approach to a plausibly finger-on-the-pulse topic, which falls flat because of a middle act in which the drama spirals into dated addiction craziness. When it's a political thriller, "Zipper" is respectably acted and presented and has some merit.

What a year in rock music! There, I said it. Too much to take in. Like a rowboat taking in more water than I can bail out. I keep getting new music recommended to me by friends, publicists, old lovers, dudes on subways, songs blasting in hipster boutiques; freakin' new music was everywhere. I got tipped to U.K. acts such as punk rockers Sleaford Mods, poetry rapper Kate Tempest, and folkster Jake Bugg; there was a new pop rock opus by Dan Wilson, and soulful Brooklynite Selena Garcia, and much more. I could barely compile my "best of/favorites of 2014" list knowing that I'll probably discover even more music after I've completed it. But here goes...my ten favorite tracks from 2014, a few essential reissues, and my ten favorite albums, yes, albums, like on real heavy duty vinyl, with two sides and everything.

Everything has been going smooth for the upcoming "Point Break" remake. First Gerard Butler signed on to play Bodhi, the role originally played by Patrick Swayze. Then Luke Bracey boarded the project as Johnny Utah, the role previously played by Keanu Reeves. And then finally, Ray Winstone (Noah) joined as Utah's partner, played by Gary Busey in the 1991 original. There was a script, written by Kurt Wimmer (Law Abiding Citizen) and a director, Ericson Core (Invincible). The plan has been to begin shooting in June. But now comes word that Butler has decided to exit the project due to a scheduling conflict and creative differences. Producers are still intent on shooting in June and will recast the part in the coming weeks.

It doesn't seem like a lot of people are happy with this Point Break remake. So far the movie stars Gerard Butler as Bodhi, Luke Bracey as Johnny Utah, and Ray Winstone in the role of Utah’s partner originally played by Gary Busey. The movie is being directed by Ericson Core (Invincible) from a script written by Kurt Wimmer (Salt, Total Recall).

Biblical epics were once a staple of the old school Hollywood. Movies like Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments were the big budget blockbusters of their day. It appears they are making somewhat of a comeback with Exodus being scheduled for release later this year and the recent release of Darren Aronofsky’s latest film Noah.
With Aronofsky at the helm there is little doubt this adaptation will not be a straightforward one, and in fact his Noah has a closer resemblance to 80’s Fantasy than a Sunday School story. Considering the source material his vision will certainly stir some controversy. Beyond those basic implications is the question of do those drastic changes provide a new valuable insight to...

An honourable man called Noah builds an Ark to save a pair of each species on Earth after God decides to perform a Ctrl+Alt+Del manoeuvre on the planet by summoning a flood. Everyone knows the gist of the Biblical story, but how could it be translated into an epic blockbuster that's absorbing from start to finish on both a visceral and cerebral level?

Director Jonathan Glazer talks about how the film – which stars Scarlett Johansson as an alien driving round Glasgow in a van – came to obsess him
In early 2001, Jonathan Glazer began planning his next film. The director was then 35, a wildly sought-after maker of music videos and adverts who had just released his first film, the singular gangster movie Sexy Beast. His next was to be an adaptation of Michel Faber's cult novel Under the Skin. The project ended up on ice. Work didn't start until 2004.
Ten years later, Under the Skin is finished, and Glazer is in a publicists' office in Soho, a well-preserved Londoner with a thicket of dark hair, tall enough to verge on the looming. Having spent almost all his 40s getting the film made, he must feel like a different man from the one who began it?
"Well. Hmm. I … God. That's a teaser." He stalls.

Quite often, TV soundtracks are only mentioned when they're particularly bad. A clunking tune or wobbly composition can turn a beautiful, tense or dramatic TV moment and stink out the whole scene.
But what about the great soundtracks? The ones that make a good moment great. The tunes that give TV shows swagger. Digital Spy has picked out the 10 TV show soundtracks from 2013 that have rocked, helped us get our groove on or made us cry.
1. Peaky Blinders
The Brummie gangster drama, which ended this week, was beautifully shot, brilliantly acted and deliciously dark. The cherry on the top of the flat caps was the soundtrack. Tom Waits, the White Stripes, the Raconteurs and a hefty topping of the brilliant Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
2. Broadchurch
The TV phenomenon of 2013's soundtrack matched its content. Eerie, brimming with drama and totally captivating, the music of Ólafur Arnalds was almost as...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
After putting out a few records, many bands would attempt to reinvent themselves or try something experimental. In the four year gap since their last record, ‘Tonight’, Franz Ferdinand have laughed at the notion as they not only stick to their own successful formula but do so by releasing their most defiantly pop record to date. Everything you would expect is here: the staccato guitars, the art-school lyrics and the streak of humour that runs down the spine of everything they release.
As cheeky and as avant-garde as their hits ‘Do You Want To’ and ‘Take Me Out’, lead single ‘Right Action’ is the sound of a band that has never doubted itself and knows exactly what is required of them on this, their fourth full length release. With the sound of a sleazy dance floor there is a real sense of command on the single...

With Darren Aronofsky and regular cinematographer Matthew Libatique behind the camera for Noah, you know there will be some fantastic imagery on screen. Yet some equally striking stills have emerged chronicling the cast and crew at work on the Biblical epic. Aronofsky’s latest finds Russell Crowe as the titular boat-builder, struck by visions of an apocalyptic deluge and driven to protect his family – plus a range of animals from the coming flood.Along for the ride are Jennifer Connelly as his wife, Naameh, Logan Lerman and Douglas Booth as sons Ham and Shem, grandfather Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins) and Emma Watson as Ila, a close confederate of Shem.Standing in their way is the nasty Ray Winstone (using his whole body, not just his floating head), who provides more complications for our hero. Because sometimes, knowing that God is set to wipe the Earth clean with more raging water than...
