Variety reports that as of now that Melissa McCarthy is in early talks with Disney to play the evil sea witch Ursula in the live action Little Mermaid movie. McCarthy is a highly talented tho not always loved actor that got started with comedies and really became known to me while playing Sookie St. James in The Gilmore girls. I think if she ends up in this role it will be a love hate issue for many sadly, tho for me I am good with it and hope it works out. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory/

The Office Leaving Netflix, in 2021.
Yes you read that right, Netflix is losing The Office. In January of 2021 when NBC starts it own streaming service because everyone has to have one of those now. It is one of the most popular shows on Netflix and you are quickly running out of time to watch it. It is a short year and a half away roughly after all. Good luck finishing this one guys, I am not sure there is enough time. (this is heavily sarcastic) Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

There will reportedly be a bunch of extras including an alternate opening. So fans will have a lot to look forward to. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Fallen (2016)
Fallen is the movie adaptation of the book by Lauren Kate of the same name. The movie however was met with some pretty horrible reviews. 7% on Rotten Tomatoes for example. The book however, the first in a series of 5 books (if you include the short Valentines Day novel)
The story is about a girl that is resurrected every 17 years only to fall in love with a fallen angel, kiss him and die just to repeat the process. This has gone on ever since the war between God and Lucifer when Danial fell in love with a human and refused to choose sides in the battle. Jealous of this new found love, Lucifer cursed them to be stuck on Earth forever to repeat the process.
Danial has tried it all to break this cycle to no avail. The movie comes off very Twilight like, except somehow not as good. Te acting isn’t great, the lighting isn’t all that good and most of the characters are pretty much boring as hell. The only entertaining part of this is Luce and the story itself is interesting. I rarely say this sort of thing tho, but just go read the books. For starters, the movie leaves you hanging pretty much and I highly doubt the other books ever get movies. They were also done much better. So skip this one, and get some reading done. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Endgame Re-release Needs Less Than $39 Million to Beat Avatar
With each passing day Endgame makes less and less money and the dream of beating Avatar slips further and further away, sort of. On June 28th a new version of Avengers Endgame will release with extra footage in hopes of making that extra money to topple the giant that is Avatar, the leading movie in film history when it comes to making bank.
Kevin Feige was pretty clear to say tho, this is NOT an extended cut. If you stick around after the movie there will be a deleted scene, some surprises and a small tribute. Admittedly this was probably the plan from the beginning, but hey I guess whatever gets the ball across the goal line right? Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Tom Hardy Confirmed for Venom 2
To the surprise of nobody, despite the negative reviews Venom is getting a sequel after a massive $855 million box office run, which actually makes it the most successful super hero origin story of all time at that time.It could be debated that Aquaman took that title, but that depends if on how you view that movie and personally I would count that as the king of origin movies.
With the confirmation of that sequel tho, is that it is now also confirmed Tom Hardy will be back as Venom. Even more surprising tho is Venom screenwriter said back in December that a Venom Spider-man movie wasn’t “impossible” and Kevin Feige recently states that it would probably be up to Sony to bring the characters together. So while it is probably bad for your health to hold your breath on that one, stranger things have happened. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Halloween 2 To Start Filming in 2019
Blumhouse’s Halloween 2 was always going to be a thing after the success of last years release on the 40th anniversary of the franchise had so much success. Well, we now know it will be filming this fall to release in 2020 most likely to nobodies surprise, in October.
Last years movie had about a 10 million dollar budget and made around 255 million dollars on only a 10 million dollar budget. That is one hell of a profit margin, so a new movie is pretty much a definite. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Top Gun 2
For those that aren’t aware, the movie was confirmed back in 2015 sometimes and was set to release this year, but instead will begin filming sometime this summer. The relase date as of now is June 26th 2020, so a year from now. That seems pretty far off but there is some great news. For example both Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer will be back to reprise their roles as Maverick and Iceman.
The only issue I have is after so many years is this movie necessary and does anyone even really care? The original released back in 1986, a full 32 years ago. On the bright side a lot of people will join the Air Force despite them being Navy pilots which yes, is a thing that reportedly happened. Either way, it should be interesting. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Gears Of War Movie Set in Alternate Reality
As reported by Gamesradar it turns out the Gears of War movie will be be set in an alternate reality. According to Rod Fergusson while writing the movie they new the movie would have to be a good movie first, and a Gears movie second. During the interview he did say the movie will be on Sera and certain characters would be present, so I don’t think we will be missing some of the fan favorites. I also don’t doubt we will get to see tons of Locust get mowed down. The movie might be pretty far off tho, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
New Hunger Games Book Due Out in 2020
Back in 2008 the first hunger games book released, and the movie wasn’t far behind in 2012. It seemed like the world loved it, tho I did notice the later movies kind of fell off in my area. Now in 2020 there will be a new book, a prequel. Lionsgate is also eyeing a movie adaptation according to Joe Drake, chairman of Lionsgate. The book is as of yet untitled but it is set to release in May of 2020. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
