Liam Neeson to Lead Ridley Scott Produced Action Thriller 'Narco Sub'
After joining the Navy in Peter Berg’s action adaptation of the board game Battleship, it looks like Liam Neeson is getting back in uniform again (kind of). The Wrap reports the Taken and Run All Night star is being eye to lead Narco Sub, a drug-trafficking thriller that was once going to be directed by the late Tony Scott before his tragic death in 2012. Since then, filmmakers like Doug Liman and Antoine Fuqua have flirted with the project, but none of them have stuck with it. And now it will be “Game of Thrones” helmer Brian Kirk directing the film for 20th Century Fox and producers Ridley Scott and Simon Kinberg. ›››

Watch: Tom Hanks & James Corden Recreate Every Tom Hanks Movie
For those who didn’t know, British comedy star James Corden (who you may recognize from Into the Woods or Begin Again) took over “The Late Late Show” from Craig Ferguson and his first official show was last night. It’s quite a big responsibility, especially when you’re following David Letterman (at least until Stephen Colbert takes over “The Late Show”), but Corden had quite a fun inaugural episode with American treasure Tom Hanks stopping by. Corden and Hanks teamed up to recreate every Tom Hanks movie from his decades of acting in under seven minutes. From Big to Cast Away to Captain Phillips. Watch it! ›››

Dustin Hoffman Inspires Talented Kids in US Trailer for 'Boychoir'
“This is the premier boychoir school in the nation.” While Whiplash dived into the world of competitive jazz band with a terrifying drill instructor of a leader, Boychoir looks to take a softer route in exploring adolescence and the inspiration of music. Dustin Hoffman plays a tough but stupendous conductor who has been brought in to maintain a premiere boychoir at a very elite school. But there’s one student who doesn’t seem too keen on using his talent, complacent with squandering his gift. Hoffman doesn’t get quite as crazy as J.K. Simmons did in Whiplash, but this still looks like it could be a nice, inspiring story. Watch? ›››

Vivica A. Fox Returns for Roland Emmerich's 'Independence Day 2'
Following the addition of Nymphomaniac star Charlotte Gainsbourg last week, the blockbuster sequel Independence Day 2 has just landed another actress, but this one should be more familiar to fans of the original 1996 alien invasion hit. Vivica A. Fox will be back as Jasmine Dubrow, the stripper who was also the girlfriend of Will Smith and one of the few survivors who made it out of New York City. You may remember that she also had a son, played by Dylan Bagley in the original film, and that’s the role Jessie Usher is playing with the kid all grown up. But don’t hope that Smith is back, because it’s not happening. ›››

J.K. Simmons Heads into Action for Luc Besson Produced 'The Lake'
Last year, Luc Besson brought us the action thriller Lucy, and director Steven Quale delivered the silly Into the Storm. Now the two are teaming up, for better or worse, for a new action thriller called The Lake. Besson will produce through his Europa Corp. production banner, and the project is said to be one of the most expensive projects they’ve taken on to date. Now Deadline reports J.K. Simmons, fresh off his Oscar win for Whiplash, has joined the supporting cast of the film which follows a group of Navy SEALs who attempt to solve an age-old mystery involving a treasure underneath a lake in war-torn Serbia. Sounds cool. ›››

'Now You See Me' Director to Swim 'In The Deep' for Shark Thriller
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, it’s time for another shark thriller in the vast ocean.

Rumor: Russo Brothers Close Deal to Direct 'Avengers: Infinity War'
Back when news of Captain America: Civil War first surfaced, there were rumblings that the sequel’s directing duo, Anthony & Joe Russo, were already in talks with Marvel Studios to be at the helm of the next installment of The Avengers, which we’ve since learned will be a two-part event called Infinity War. And now, if a rumor at Badass Digest is to be believed, the Russo brothers, who also directed the stellar Captain America: The Winter Soldier, have closed their deal to direct both parts of The Avengers’ next adventure coming in 2018 and 2019, with production shooting back-to-back in both 2016 and 2017. ›››

Dynamic Beard Growth Confirmed for Witcher 3
Impressive-looking facial hair is nothing new for video games. But Polish developer CD Projekt Red is going one step further with its upcoming role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
In this game, main character Geralt’s beard will grow over time. The action hero’s beard has several “states,” according to CD Projekt Red’s communications boss Michał Platkow-Gilewski.
“The beard grows as time passes and when Geralt moves between locations,” he told Eurogamer. “The beard has several ‘states’ and these states determine its length–the longest is really long but it’s not Gandalf-long.”
Witcher 3 images released so far show Geralt with only a small amount of facial hair. It’s unclear if there will be a button prompt to make Geralt stroke his beard.
In other facial hair news, CD Projekt Red has also revealed that the moment you apply The Witcher 3’s free “Beard and Hairstyle” add-on (one of 16 free DLC packs for the game), Geralt’s beard growth will come to an end.
“When you download the free Beard and Hairstyle DLC the growth of the beard will stop because we decided that when players want a predefined look, it would be weird to require from them to reapply it time after time,” Platkow-Gilewski said.
CD Projekt Red previously described Geralt as a “relatively handsome man,” citing his beard as one of his standout features.
After yet another delay, The Witcher 3 release date is May 19 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. For a closer look at the game, check out the images in the gallery below.

Nintendo's NX Will Surprise and Innovate, Iwata Says
In a new interview with Japanese business publication Nikkei, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata spoke–albeit briefly and in vague terms–about the company’s mysterious new platform, codenamed “NX.”
Although he did not offer specifics, Iwata suggested that the NX aims to catch gamers by surprise and offer meaningful innovation.
“If you only expand upon existing hardware, it’s dull,” Iwata said in the report, as translated by Kotaku. “In some shape or form, we’re always thinking about how we want to surprise players as well as our desire to change each person’s video gaming life.”
Iwata officially announced the NX during a presentation in Japan last week, where the company also revealed plans to finally enter the smartphone market. Revealing the NX project was a means to demonstrate that Nintendo remains committed to gaming hardware.
“As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development codename ‘NX,’” Iwata said at the time.
More details about NX are set to be revealed in 2016. GameSpot’s full report about the NX is available here.
Though concrete information about Nintendo’s NX is extremely light at the moment, one retailer is already accepting preorders for the device.
