Kojima continues to tease the release of Death Stranding 2 On the Beach. The popular Japanese director is fascinated by George Miller’s new movie, Furiosa. According to reports, Miller will be part of the cast of Kojima’s new game.
A poster published by the game director himself left many fans thinking that Miller’s design for this highly anticipated title looks exactly like Elton John, better known as Rocket Man, the popular British musician. This will not be the only big name to be part of the upcoming Kojima project.

FBI's three-year renewal deal means our favorite fictional federal agents will keep New York safe from terrorist threats for a while.
Most of the time, FBI's cast doesn't change much from year to year, though there have been some new additions (and sad subtractions) over the years.
Let's examine who is returning and who each actor is outside of their role on FBI.
FBI Will Have The Same Cast, But There's a Twist
The same detectives will star on FBI as in years past, but there's a twist: CBS will have the FBI cast rotate throughout episodes, as NBC did with the Law & Order shows when they finally returned from the strike-extended hiatus.
This means that some characters will be missing from each episode. Hopefully, there will be good on-screen reasons for their absences.

1986 is a decisive year in the career of director John Woo as he would define his style with the two projects released that year. While “A Better Tomorrow” is highly regarded among cinephiles and seen as the first “definitive” John Woo-feature, “Heroes Shed No Tears”, the last project he would make for Golden Harvest, is just as important. The production would be another tumultuous affair resulting at Golden Harvest essentially shelving the film from distribution, with only a few copies made for countries such as South Korea. However, with Woo's following projects garnering international attention and given the recent 4k restoration, “Heroes Shed No Tears” is finally available in a truly deserving form, allowing filmlovers to experience a story which serves as the first “Heroic Bloodshed”-moment in Woo's career.

As a small-screen veteran, Zachary Quinto is no stranger to building a television persona, much like the role in Heroes that made him a household name.
The actor then went on to be a veteran of the hit horror show American Horror Story, appearing in multiple seasons starting as early as 2022, during the show's eleventh season.
Now, the TV titan is trying his hand at a medical drama, which has become its own creature in the television industry.
But if there's one thing the actor is good at, it's coming across as calm and collected, much like his character Spock from the Star Trek films.
Brilliant Minds is on NBC's fall line-up, and here is everything we know about the show so far!

Albert S. Ruddy, who earned two Best Picture Oscars for producing The Godfather and Million Dollar Baby and co-created TV shows including Walker, Texas Ranger and Hogan’s Heroes, died May 25 at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center after a brief illness, a family spokesman said. He was 94.
Ruddy is one of nine producers ever to earn two or more Best Picture Oscars, and has the distinction of winning them with the largest interval in between — 32 years.
He recently was portrayed by Miles Teller in the Paramount+ miniseries The Offer, which chronicles Ruddy’s experience making the 1972 film that Coppola directed and adapted with Mario Puzo from the latter’s bestselling novel.

With season finale time right around the corner and many of our favorite series coming to a close, it's time to be brutally honest.
The shortened seasons felt the full plight of the dual strikes. And you know what? It sucked.
Yes, the overall experience of having a shortened season has been a misfortune to diehard TV Fanatics.
But also, the quality of the seasons delivered to us has generally been any combination of disappointing, boring, unhinged, or perfunctory.
It's an unusual situation when we craved the return of our favorite series for so long but quickly realized they should've forgone a rush job to salvage the television season and given themselves time to cook up better, stronger full seasons.
At the risk of sounding ungrateful, this shortened season could've been an email for some series.
It's not the first time strikes have severely hampered the quality of an otherwise excellent series.

Some anime characters leave a deep impression despite a short appearance in the series. Star and Stripe was one such character in Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia, who wrapped fans around her pinky in the span of a few chapters/episodes.
Yet, the powerful lady could not survive the threat posed by Shigaraki and died a heroic death just as suddenly as she was introduced. In fact her sudden and forced exit from My Hero Academia led fans to doubt Kohei Horikoshi’s skills as a writer.
Star and Stripe Had Great Character Development Only to Die in My Hero Academia Star and Stripe – My Hero Academia
Cathleen Bate, better known by her hero name, Star and Stripe, was the No. 1 Pro Hero of the USA. She came to Japan’s rescue despite the Un not finalizing aid. She never cared for her Hero License and faced Shigaraki.

For his follow-up to Blue Story, Rapman is going big. The multi-talented creator announced himself as a filmmaker to watch with his hit debut feature film – earning sizeable box office and a raft of positive reviews, despite controversial cinema bans on his tale of childhood friends driven apart by gang violence. His latest project, Supacell, isn’t a film but a Netflix series – an original show about a group of South Londoners who develop superpowers, exploring how their lives are forever changed.
While the idea of ordinary people receiving extraordinary abilities is a familiar format, Rapman is bringing his own personal perspective to it – while drawing from what came before in beloved shows like Heroes and Misfits. “I loved Heroes,” he tells Empire. “It was the closest to my image of what I thought a show about superpowers should be like. It was a massive inspiration.” And while he’s bringing in genre elements,...

The “Friday the 13th” prequel series in the works at Peacock from A24 is in search of a new showrunner.
Bryan Fuller — who was announced as the show’s writer, executive producer, and showrunner when it was first ordered to series in 2022 — took to Twitter to announce that he has been fired from the show due to creative differences.
“For reasons beyond our control, A24 has elected to go a different way with the material,” he said. “We hope the final product will be something ‘Friday the 13th’ fans all over the world will enjoy.”
Trouble on the series was first reported earlier in the week by the InSneider newsletter. However, according to an individual with knowledge of the project, the series order remains in place with hopes to line up a new showrunner as soon as possible. Production had not begun on the series, nor had any casting taken place.

With the ever-evolving video game landscape, the music and soundtracks have only gotten better and better. This year alone has given us Rise of the Ronin, as well as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, both of which have beautifully put together soundtracks that their respective composers poured their hearts and souls into.
Video game concerts are a sight to behold, and no one does it like Jason Michael Paul. Paul is the man behind the original Final Fantasy concerts, The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses shows, and much more.

For all the cyberpunk connoisseurs, Altered Carbon was a breath of fresh air. A phenomenal setting, compelling characters, and engaging mystery — it had it all. The hype for Season 2 was real, but halfway through, the showrunner changed… Let’s just say that very few people even finished watching the new series.
9. Heroes (2006–2010) Was Gone for Good After S1
When Heroes Season 1 premiered in 2006, it became an instant nationwide cultural phenomenon. Everyone and their grandma were talking about it non-stop, and it felt like the new TV show was there to stay. Indeed, it stayed around for three more seasons, but those were so terrible the audience decided to ignore their existence.
8. Sleepy Hollow (2013–2017) Lost Its Essence After S1
Sleepy Hollow Season 1 got all the creepy fairy tale/legend fans excited. Unfortunately, after hyping the audience up, the show changed a showrunner and went into oblivion.

Remember 2006? That was the year that High School Musical came out, and so did Lance Bass. The very first tweet was tweeted, and Miley Cyrus was just some actress on a new Disney Channel show.
In this strange and innocent time, NBC dropped a (then) totally unique pilot into its mix of programming. It was a superhero show – but one without any recognizable names, like Superman or Batman. It was an ensemble show, but it was also high-budget. And, two years before The Dark Knight declared superheroes to be serious business, it challenged the audience to really think about what it might mean if average, ordinary people developed superhuman abilities.
The show, of course, was Heroes.

Back in the ’90s, the original X-Men: The Animated Series gained a following precisely because it could translate the tangled soap-opera storylines from the comic franchise into compelling, but easily digestible chunks. X-Men ’97 continues this tradition, but for a very different audience. Where only big nerds knew about Gambit or Deadpool in the ’90s, now they’re household names.
And yet, X-Men ’97 goes even deeper, filling the screen with deep-cut Marvel characters from both the world of mutants and the cosmos. If you want to put some names and backstories to some of these faces, here’s a guide to all the cameos and major character returns in the show’s sixth episode, “Lifedeath Part 2.”

As of this writing, it has been over two days since Future and Metro Boomin dropped their first full-length collaboration, We Don’t Trust You, and it has almost been completely overshadowed by a Kendrick Lamar cameo. The track on which he appears, “Like That,” prominently features Rodney O and Joe Cooley’s 1987 single “Everlasting Bass,” and Metro uses it like Three 6 Mafia did throughout their discography, from “Where Da Bud At” to “Who the Crunkest.” Thanks in part to the Mafia, “Everlasting Bass” has become an avatar of Jheri-curled hardness,...

When J.J. Abrams' 2009 film "Star Trek" was first announced, it caused something of a fanboy firestorm online. "Star Trek" was largely moribund in the 2000s, presenting the franchise's least popular film, "Star Trek: Nemesis" in 2002, and its least popular series (to date) in "Star Trek: Enterprise." The former only made $67.3 million, and the latter was canceled after four seasons. The world had shifted from gentle stories of futuristic diplomacy to colorful, fantastical post-9/11 revenge fantasies.
Then along came Abrams with his declaration that he'd reboot "Star Trek" with a new cast playing younger, hotter versions of characters Trekkies have loved since the 1960s. His new "Star Trek" was to be supra-high-octane, tripling down on action and drama, and actively eschewing the morality, optimism, and cerebral elements the franchise had previously been known for. Questions immediately began to arise as to whether or not that counted as "proper Star Trek,...
