Earlier today, Microsoft sent out a promotional email for Dead Rising 4. The pitch was some zombies singing Christmas Carols, and the email had the subject line “NNNNGGGHHHAAAA”.

Normally when I’m feeling down, I steer clear of multiplayer games. Competition is rad, but it can turn even kindhearted people into massive bags of Flaming Hot Cheetos, only all the Cheetos are dicks. Or at least, that used to be my policy. Then Overwatch happened.

“You a whole different type of brotha – you do realize that, right?” Netflix has unveiled the full trailer for the indie film Barry, telling another story about the early years of President Barack Obama. Barry is about “Barry” Obama during his college years, with an afro and everything, as played by Devon Terrell. Most of it takes place around New York City, as Obama was studying at Columbia University at the time. The cast includes Anya Taylor-Joy, Ashley Judd, Jenna Elfman, Ellar Coltrane, Jason Mitchell and John Benjamin Hickey. From the first teaser trailer, I mentioned that I didn’t need to see anything else to be sold. This new trailer shows quite a bit, but I’m still into it – I really want to see this right away. Take a look. ›››

“We all know the place: the magic mushroom houses, the tiny white pants…” Sony Pictures has debuted a brand new full-length trailer for their CGI animated reboot of The Smurfs movie, titled Smurfs: The Lost Village. The first teaser trailer didn’t show much, this trailer gives us a better glimpse at the story – which seems to involve finding more Smurfs elsewhere, including maybe even more girls. As expected, a few of the Smurfs go out on an adventure to find this “lost village” before Gargamel does. Smurfs: The Lost Village features the voices of Mandy Patinkin as Papa Smurf, Rainn Wilson as Gargamel, Joe Manganiello as Hefty, Demi Lovato as Smurfette, Jack McBrayer as Clumsy, and Danny Pudi as Brainy. This looks fun. ›››

Even though we have another month left, cinephiles are already releasing 2016 recap videos. Chris Santana has launched the very first 2016 – A Year in Film recap, which includes footage from almost every (major) movie released in 2016. The only one missing is Martin Scorsese’s Silence, only because they still haven’t released a trailer for it yet. I’m very happy to see smaller films like Jackie, Moonlight, Lion and Manchester by the Sea featured in this, especially because they’re an important part of 2016 in film. And it’s especially important to include La La Land, most likely because it has the best chance at winning Best Picture. Dive in. ›››

Famous actor Johnny Depp will have a big role in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sequel, playing the evil wizard Grindelwald. Now, producer David Heyman has discussed why they wanted the Edward Scissorhands and Pirates actor for the part.
“What we wanted was an iconic actor to play Grindelwald, because Grindelwald is an iconic character who has a significant place in this story,” Heyman told Collider. “His ability to persuade the hearts and minds, to persuade people to follow him is essential to this story.”

Grindelwald is “dangerous” in that way, Heyman added. So the producers sought out an actor they thought could be “seductive,” charming, and original.
“We were looking for someone who was seductive and could be charming and could be original, who was iconic, who was a great actor; and that’s what Johnny Depp is,” he explained. “He can be irresistible. He’s powerful. He’s created some iconic characters, and not made the obvious choices when doing so. The unpredictability of the choices he makes is part of what makes him so extraordinary and that was very exciting for us. He was the perfect choice for Grindelwald.”
Depp actually appears as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in a small, cameo role. Heyman said Depp filmed his part early in 2016 due to his availability. That Grindelwald, played by Depp, would appear in the first firm was kept a secret from then on.
Fantastic Beasts director David Yates previously talked about casting Depp as Grindelwald, praising the actor for his talents and uniqueness.
“Johnny Depp is a real artist,” Yates said earlier this month. “He’s created several characters who have really resonated in our popular culture. He’s a really brilliant, brilliant actor. We were excited about seeing what he would do with this guy, the character. He’s fearless; he’s imaginative; he’s ambitious. We thought he would do something fun and special. So we went for him, purely on that selfish basis. We don’t care if he’s famous or not famous. We just know he’s interesting.”
A young version of the famous wizard Dumbledore will appear in the first Fantastic Beasts sequel, though it’s not been confirmed yet who will play him in the 2018 movie.
Warner Bros. is planning five Fantastic Beasts movies. Yates is reportedly officially signed up for the first sequel, but he’s not yet ready to commit to directing all five.
Fantastic Beasts opened on November 18 and pulled in $75 million at the US box office to become the No. 1 film of the weekend. For more on the movie, check out GameSpot’s review and what other critics are saying.
