E3 May be Unnecessary According to New Study of 2020 Game Reveals

Ryan Janes, head of analytics for game analytics group, Fancensus, has posted a story a series of figures on GamesIndustry.biz which he uses to suggest that 2020 has shown that the video game industry has moved beyond the need for E3. The figures are largely based on media coverage and social media engagements which would certainly seem to be one of the best ways to directly compare the impact of this year’s scattered reveals via various digital showcases vs. a more traditional event such as E3. For instance, the first series of figures focus on the media coverage that “bigger…

Dwayne Johnson Reveals He Almost Played Willy Wonka for Tim Burton

If you want to view paradise, just look around… and imagine Dwayne Johnson in a top hat. Indeed, somewhere out there in the multiverse, moviegoers got exactly that when Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opened in 2005. For while frequent Burton collaborator Johnny Depp eventually won the role in that movie, Johnson has now revealed he was considered for the part back in the days when he was better known as the Rock. “Some cool history – back in the early 2000’s, iconic director, Tim Burton had considered me to play Willy Wonka [in] his remake, Charlie and…

The data contained in this leak (which is being referred to as the “Gigaleak”) started spreading on 4chan fairly recently.

Kevin Smith Reveals Trailer for New Film Killroy Was Here

Once upon a time Kevin Smith had a dream to make a Krampus movie—an anthropological horror film based around the anti-Santa Claus monster of Germanic folklore. But then Michael Dougherty went and made Krampus in 2015, so Smith had to improvise. Luckily this is the guy who made Clerks for $28,000—being creative with resources is kind of in his wheelhouse. Thus began the genesis of Killroy Was Here, an all-original horror movie that looks to be very much in the vein of one of Smith’s previous cult chillers, Tusk. A film that Smith made in tandem with students at the…

Justice League Snyder Cut Scene Reveals Black Suit Superman

The rise in anticipation for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, generally known as “The Snyder Cut” continues. One of the many questions surrounding the theatrically released version of film in the was why Superman’s journey from “rose from the dead on the wrong side of the crypt” to “actually this is pretty much the Superman we’ve wanted on screen for the last 30 years” seemed a little abbreviated. After all, in the comics, when Superman died at the spikey hands of Doomsday, he didn’t return to primary colored and caped glory right away. Instead, he spent a little time in a black and…

Everwild Trailer Reveals More About Rare’s Next Game

Developer Rare’s mysterious next project, Everwild, was briefly featured during the Xbox games showcase via a fascinating teaser trailer. Much like the debut trailer for Everwild, this preview is short on substantial plot and gameplay details. Either Everwild isn’t far along in development or Rare is trying to preserve the game’s mysteries for as long as possible. We also wouldn’t rule out a combination of both. Regardless, this preview does hint at the nature of Everwild‘s universe. “Nature” is the keyword here, as the trailer’s narrator hints that players will control an “Eternal” who is able “to sense and feel…

She’ll need to navigate and investigate both of these worlds in order to solve the mystery of a young girl who was murdered in an abandoned hotel. Plot-wise, it seems pretty clear that The Medium developer Bloober Team (the studio behind Layers of Fear,…

Marvel Reveals Dark Hulk Future with New Trailer

The basic premise of the Incredible Hulk is that his greatest enemy is himself. Usually, it means that Bruce Banner is at odds with his big, green alter ego or that the Hulk’s rampages and bad luck tend to destroy any semblance of happiness in his life. In 1992, the team of Peter David and George Perez went more literal by having the Hulk’s greatest enemy be an evil version of the Hulk. The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect #1 introduced the Maestro, a version of Hulk from a possible dystopian future based on one question: What if the Hulk had…

Far Cry 6 has seemingly been leaked by a PlayStation Store Hong Kong listing ahead of its anticipated reveal this weekend at Ubisoft Forward.

Lost: Damon Lindelof Reveals Behind the Scenes Battles With Network

Lost showrunner Damon Lindelof took a lot of flack from both critics and fans of the mystery drama series during its six seasons on the air, culminating in an all-out online rage-a-thon after it bowed in 2010 with a divisive finale. Generally, it’s felt the screenwriter has ‘redeemed’ himself over the last six years on TV, turning in three acclaimed seasons of The Leftovers with Tom Perrotta, and one hell of a spectacular spin on Watchmen during the final months of 2019. Now that he’s got some perspective, it seems it’s a little easier for Lindelof to look back on…

New Power Rangers Showrunner Reveals Dino Fury Plans

Back in January fans of Power Rangers learned through an IMDB post that Simon Bennett, director of many Ninja Steel and Beast Morphers episodes and producer of several well-known New Zealand dramas, had “taken over the reins as EP (executive producer) of Hasbro’s famed Power Rangers TV series.” He later stated that he was also the showrunner as well.  At the time this left fans a bit confused since Chip Lynn, who’d worked on the show back in the 90’s and returned in 2015 for Dino Charge, was the executive producer. While TV shows having two executive producers isn’t uncommon the…

Winona Ryder Reveals Keanu Reeves Refused to Verbally Abuse Her in Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Winona Ryder has been in the news quite a bit this week. Once the perennial Gen-X star of the ‘90s, she still carries a loyal following of fans who swear by the mantra of “Winona Forever.” It appears that Keanu Reeves and Anthony Hopkins may be among them, as per Ryder’s most recent recollection from making the classic vampire movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992). In a new interview with The Sunday Times, Ryder recalled when director Francis Ford Coppola attempted to emotionally prepare her for a scene by shouting, “You whore! You whore!” over and over again, and getting the…

Justice League: The Synder Cut Teaser Footage Reveals Darkseid

Warner Bros. is wasting no time in hyping up Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the legendary “Snyder Cut” which will finally make its debut on HBO Max in 2021. The Snyder Cut footage was first revealed via Jason Momoa’s Instagram page before it made it to official HBO Max channels. Momoa has long been a vocal proponent of the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement, and it was Snyder himself who pursued Momoa for the role of Aquaman. The big hook here isn’t the ancient depiction of Darkseid that it appears Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman has stumbled on (and been unsettled by), even though this…

Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy Writer David Koepp Reveals Original Plans

When director Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man successfully swung to cinemas in 2002, moviegoers by and large were still oblivious to the extent—both financially and artistically—in which comic book movies would succeed, even after coming off the hit genre breakthrough that was 2000’s X-Men. Now, eighteen years and two Wall-Crawler iterations later, it has been revealed that the film in question was originally designed to kick off a more focused and pathologically potent story. David Koepp, who wrote the screenplay to 2002’s Spider-Man, reveals in an interview with Collider that his original plans had paced the film to start a Star Wars-esque…

James Cameron Reveals ‘Guilty Pleasure’ Lockdown Movie

Some vindication has arrived for fans of Paul W. S. Anderson’s Capcom video game adaptation, Resident Evil. Terminator and Aliens director James Cameron has picked it as one of his surprising lockdown movies of choice, though he does describe it as a “guilty pleasure”, a phrase we don’t put a lot of stock in here at Den of Geek – you shouldn’t really feel guilty about liking the things you like, even if they’re objectively bobbins. One person’s ‘trash’ can be another person’s treasure, after all. Cameron revealed 2002’s Resident Evil, which ended up kick-starting a ludicrous but pretty damn…

Michael Madsen Reveals Plot Details of Tarantino’s Nixed Vega Brothers Prequel

The ultraviolently acerbic shared universe of Quentin Tarantino’s films has long been a source of theories and examinations, and one long-acknowledged connection has been between the apparent siblings of Michael Madsen’s Vic Vega (a.k.a. Mr. Blonde) from 1992’s Reservoir Dogs and John Travolta’s Vincent Vega from 1994’s Pulp Fiction. Indeed, Tarantino had plans to connect them onscreen, but it never happened. Now, Madsen reveals new details about the prequel that never was. An intriguing—some might say bittersweet—anecdote about the unmade project came from Michael Madsen himself in an interview with THR, conducted on the occasion of a revival of sorts…
