Colin Kaepernick Returns To Madden After 4-Year Absence

Colin Kaepernick is back. Not quite in the NFL, but the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback turned activist has returned to Madden for the first time in four years. Referring to Kaepernick as “one of the top free agents in football and a starting-caliber quarterback,” EA Sports announced his arrival in Madden NFL 21, the officially licensed NFL game, on social media. The quarterback’s 2016 decision to kneel during pregame performances of the national anthem, in protest of racial injustice in the United States, effectively blackballed him from the league.  According to The Undefeated, EA Sports attributes his absence from…

The Batman Trailer Reveals Unrecognizable Colin Farrell as The Penguin

Did you know that Colin Farrell is in The Batman trailer as legendary Batman villain the Penguin? No, seriously…he is. You just might have missed him since he looks absolutely nothing like Colin Farrell in it. The Batman director Matt Reeves is pretty clear about the fact that the man who will one day be known and feared as the Penguin is still just Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, and not quite yet the legendary Gotham villain. In fact, the movie will be quietly telling origin stories for many of Batman’s rogues gallery. “Oz is not yet the kingpin that he’s going…

It’s February and I’m at Capital Sci Fi Con in Edinburgh, sitting next to Colin Baker. The day before, I’d brought my young sons to his table for an autograph, where he’d entertained them with all the bluster, bombast and larger-than-life loquaciousness we’d all come to expect from the Sixth Doctor, even if the man in whose gaze they were held transfixed was wearing a slightly older face, and a significantly less colourful jacket than they were accustomed to seeing. For today’s interview, Baker is thoroughly shorn of his Sixth-ness, and seems more like the lawyer he once trained to…

Star Wars: Colin Trevorrow Reflects on ‘Traumatic’ Episode IX Ousting

Colin Trevorrow has been looking back afresh on his nixed Star Wars trilogy-capper. The Jurassic World director originally developed Episode IX – formerly Duel of the Fates – alongside co-writer Jack Thorne, but reports indicated that their screenplay did not meet the standards of Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy. Rather than getting another shot at it, Force Awakens helmer J.J. Abrams and his team were brought aboard to replace the duo, and the rest is Rise of Skywalker-wallpapered history. “I have been very fortunate in the films that I’ve directed,” Trevorrow said during Collider’s Directors on Directing panel for Comic-Con@Home (via…

What We Do in the Shadows: Colin Robinson Steals Our Energy Through the TV

“Hopefully I am defining what an actual energy vampire is instead of someone on the outer edges of society,” says Mark Proksch, who plays the life force gourmand on FX’s What We Do in the Shadows. The actor who plays that Dilbert-looking guy who shares a house on Staten Island with a liquid-diet trio tells Den of Geek about the many challenges and bonuses to being an energy vampire. Regular vampires, the classic kind played by Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), and Laszlo (Matt Berry), drink blood, a virgin’s if possible. It is a reliable staple as far as…
