Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the Oscar winner said Thor: Love and Thunder was the first project that his children ever got excited about.
“My kids have never really shown any interest in anything I’ve ever done,” Bale said. “And this was the first film ever. I wasn’t certain I would be able to do it, and they went to me [and said], ‘No, you’re doing this film.’ They absolutely insisted on it. So I took their marching orders and said yes, definitely.”

Update (March 11, 2021): Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time has received a now-standard basic technical upgrade in its move from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, but those enhancements have done wonders. The jump to 4K and a consistent 60 frames per second take a game that already had vibrant, detailed art and make it even more pleasing to play.
As seems to often be the case, it’s frame rate, not fidelity, that makes the big difference here. With smoother animations, all of the game’s moving parts are proverbially well-oiled and running more smoothly. With more clearly articulated animations, the gameplay feels faster. And it can feel as if your reaction time has improved. In reality, the smoother animation allows you to detect and react to threats more quickly. The PS4 version, which I thought ran fine at the time, looks almost stuttery by comparison.
Baldur’s Gate 3 was a huge success for developer Larian Studios and Hasbro, the latter of which owns Wizards of the Coast and the Dungeons & Dragons series. Despite that success, Larian is moving on to a new project and is not making Baldur’s Gate 4. But Hasbro is keen to continue the Baldur’s Gate series with a different team at the helm.
Eugene Evans, the senior vice president for digital strategy and licensing as Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, told PC Gamer that it’s going to take its time to map out the future of Baldur’s Gate.

While it’s not as attractive as a land-speed record set in Black Rock Desert, Japan’s latest benchmark when it comes to internet speed is much more impressive. Smashing the 178 terabits per second benchmark it set last year when it worked with UK engineers, the new internet speed record now stands at a lightning-fast 319 terabits per second, as originally reported by Vice.
To achieve this speed, Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) used advanced fiber-optic technology in a lab setting. The NICT system made use of an experimental strand of fiber-optic cable that featured four cores housed in a cable that was roughly the size of a regular fiber optic line.
Data was then looped through coiled bits of fiber optic that created a simulated transmission distance of 1,864 miles, with no degradation in speed being reported. With a path established, the researchers then used a 552-channel comb laser firing at multiple wavelengths through m…
HBO has announced that the It prequel TV series, Welcome to Derry, is officially moving ahead and has been ordered to series. The show, which comes from Warner Bros. Television, is being developed by the director of the movies, Andy Muschietti, along with his sister, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs.
Andy Muschietti is directing multiple episodes of Welcome to Derry, including the series premiere. Welcome to Derry is the show’s working title.
Little is known about the plot for the prequel series, but HBO says it will “expand the It storytelling canvas and bring fans deeper into the terrifying, mesmerizing town of Derry.”

King himself said in a statement, “Red balloons all around!”
Welcome to Derry was anno…
The Walking Dead may have come to an end in 2022, but the potential courtroom battle for the show’s profits will continue. Via Deadline, a federal court judge has denied AMC’s attempt to dismiss the profit participation lawsuit filed by Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman, executive producers Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert, as well as former showrunners Charles Eglee and Glen Mazzara.
Frank Darabont, the original Walking Dead showrunner who developed the comic for television, kicked off over a decade of legal headaches for AMC when he and his representatives at CAA filed a lawsuit against the cable network in 2013. Among other issues, Darabont contended that AMC’s self-dealing in-house licensing fees cut him out of his promised share of the show’s revenue. Darabont also argued that his dismissal from the series during the production of Season 2 was an attempt to keep him from being fully financially vested in that season, which would have also impacted his payday.<…
Thatgamecompany’s co-founder and the director of Journey and Sky: Children of the Light goes by Jenova Chen, but that isn’t his real first name. In an interview with IGN, Chen shared that he picked Jenova while learning English in school. The class was instructed to pick English names and Chen’s friend (the only other video game fan in the class) picked Cloud from Final Fantasy VII. Chen decided he had to pick an even better character to outdo his friend, so he landed on Jenova, the ultra-powerful extraterrestrial being, after deciding Sephiroth was too difficult to pronounce and spell. “Jenova is absolutely way more badass than Cloud, so I picked that name,” Chen told IGN. Chen never intended for Jenova to be his proper name, but reverted to it in college when one of his professors struggled to pronounce his real name, Xinghan, and it has since stuck.
Needless to say, Jenova Chen is a fan of Final Fantasy VII, so we wanted to hear his thoughts on Final Fan…
