Coming 2 America Trailer Shows a 2020 That Looks Like 1988

Amazon has started to lay down the proverbial rose petals on which its high-profile pandemic-era theatrical refugee, Coming 2 America, will eventually walk; namely the first trailer for the 30+ years-awaited sequel to Eddie Murphy’s 1988 comedy classic. The Paramount-produced film, once scheduled to hit theaters in August 2020, met a fate typical of the year 2020 this past October when the studio sold distribution rights to Amazon, which, after a recent delay, has scheduled the film to stream in March. Interestingly, the just-dropped trailer seems to indicate that the America to which Murphy’s Prince Akeem Joffer will once again…

Coming 2 America: Is Comedy’s New Home Streaming?

The recent announcement that the three-decades-awaited film follow-up, Coming 2 America, will bypass its theatrical release plans to stream on Amazon Prime Video may not have been surprising in a 2020 world, but it was indicative of an intriguing trend for the comedy genre that predates the pandemic. The Paramount-hailing, Eddie Murphy-starring sequel’s December 18 release date has just been shifted all the way to March 5, 2021; an understandable retreat in reaction to a monumental move for the industry made this week by Warner Bros. to shift its biggest tentpole picture of the year, Wonder Woman 1984, to a…

In a fascinating interview with Kotaku, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer addressed what the long-term implications of Microsoft’s ZeniMax Media acquisition are and whether or not future major Bethesda games will be exclusive to Xbox platforms.

Is Demon’s Souls Coming to Xbox and PC?

The recent PlayStation 5 showcase generated a surprisingly justified number of questions regarding whether or not the Demon’s Souls remake is coming to Xbox, PC, and potentially other platforms. Those who watched the digital event may have noticed that the original version of the Demon’s Souls gameplay trailer ended with a screen that noted the remake would “not be available on other consoles for a limited time” and would seemingly be “also available on PC.” However, Sony soon informed Kotaku and other websites that the reference to Demon’s Souls coming to other platforms was the result of “human error.” When…
