In this line of work, you see a lot of trailers. Almost all the trailers. So it takes a lot to make me sit up and go “wow, that’s a good video game trailer”.

Another day, another remake. This time it’s The Blob, which has been remade once (or twice) before. The original The Blob is a horror classic from 1958, and it was remade in 1988 into a just-as-good-if-not-better sci-fi thriller. Now they’re working on yet another remake at Goldcrest Films with Simon West (Con-Air, The General’s Daughter, The Mechanic, Expendables 2) attached to direct. If they want to keep everything nice and neat, this next one should debut in 2018 then it’ll be 30 years between each remake. The latest news is that Samuel L. Jackson has been officially cast in the new film, playing a biochemistry professor. ›››

Brilliant! A fine example of when Hollywood marketing actually turns out okay. Universal has partnered with shaving cream manufacturer Barbasol for a special edition shaving cream can to promote the release of Jurassic World. Why? Well, we all know why! One of the most iconic and unforgettable scenes in the original Jurassic Park involves Dennis being given a special Barbasol can that contains storage racks for dinosaur embryos. Fans have replicated the prop and created working versions they’ve sold on Ebay, but now Barbasol is making Jurassic World cans themselves and they’ve gone all out. To celebrate, they’ve launched an entire marketing campaign complete with photos and a video. A Secret Has Been Left Behind… ›››

“It’s moments like this you know you need someone you can count on.” Warner Bros has debuted the first trailer for The Intern, a comedy about a young CEO who takes on an old intern. Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro star, with Hathaway playing the CEO and De Niro playing the intern at her company. In addition: Adam DeVine, Rene Russo, Anders Holm and Andrew Rannells pop up here and there, too. As cheesy as this sounds, I actually think it looks pretty good, it’s charming. It’s not overly snarky about the “old dude doesn’t get young modern world” stuff, and it has some sentimentality to it that seems to work well. I saw even more footage at CinemaCon, and I might say don’t completely ignore this one. Give it a shot. ›››

Love and Hate Need No Translation. Drafthouse Films has debuted a trailer for their upcoming release of Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy’s The Tribe – an award-winning, highly-acclaimed, powerful film from Ukraine that is presented entirely in sign language without any subtitles. Wondering what that’s like? Or want to get a feel for the very edgy, very dark topics the film covers? Then give this trailer a look, and hopefully you’ll take a chance on seeing this film. One of the critic quotes included the trailer comes from friend of the site Raffi Asdourian of The Film Stage, who wrote in his review that “the scope and ambition of the narrative propels it to something more grandiose” and that it’s a “groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind experience”. Indeed. ›››

A long time ago, in a cinema far, far away, this short film played before Empire Strikes Back, and now it has been rediscovered. No seriously, that’s the story behind this. Back in 1980, George Lucas commissioned his art director, Roger J. Christian, to make a short film that would show before his Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back. That short was called Black Angel, sort of a classic fantasy about a lone warrior fighting a dark force. It only played in a few hundred UK cinemas, but it was hugely influential anyway. And even though all the prints were thought to be lost, Christian has restored and released the full 25-minute short Black Angel online – seen below. It’s actually pretty good, and has some very iconic shots in it. Enjoy. ›››

There are very, very few times we would ever even consider posting anything from “Extra”, but this is one of those times. “Extra” host Mario Lopez traveled up to Vancouver to visit the set of the Deadpool movie, which is currently filming, and sat down for a one-on-one chat with star Ryan Reynolds. Yes, this sounds cheesy, but because it’s Deadpool and he breaks the fourth wall and messes around with everyone, there’s some fun elements to this otherwise bland “Extra” segment. It’s also cool to see Ryan so excited to be talking about finally making an R-rated Deadpool movie. I’m glad they’re embracing the character in all his glory. ›››

Third-person action game Smite, the Xbox One‘s first MOBA, is now available for the console by way of a closed beta test. Anyone who previously took part in the Smite alpha or was chosen for the closed beta will get to play. You can sign up for the Smite Xbox One closed beta here.

Smite is a free-to-play game, but players can spend money on items like currency Gems, new characters, and cosmetic skins by way of its in-game marketplace. You can also buy the $30 Founder’s Pack, which comes with instant access to the Xbox One closed beta.
The Founder’s Pack also includes every God character currently in the game and all additional Gods to come, as well as 400 Gems and two exclusive skins. This bundle will be removed from sale when the full version of Smite launches on Xbox One later this year.
If you do get into the Smite Xbox One beta, all your progress and achievements will carry forward to the full version.
Smite developer Hi-Rez Studios has also announced an account merge option for PC players who want to carry their progress over to the Xbox One edition. You can get the full details on this process here.
Originally released in March 2014 for PC to a positive critical reception, Smite has attracted more than 7 million players to date. The game is focused around the Gods of mythology, and Hi-Rez claims it offers “more game modes than any other leading game in its genre.”

EA Sports’ upcoming professional football game Madden NFL 16, which features Odell Beckham Jr. on the cover, will be playable first on Xbox One by way of EA Access. Subscribers typically get to play upcoming EA games five days before their public launch, but EA has not announced specifics around Madden yet.

The news comes by way of Microsoft marketing executive Aaron Greenberg, who wrote on Twitter: “Hot new @EAMaddenNFL 16 announced, play it early with @EAAccess, only on #XboxOne”
Madden NFL 16 launches this August. It’s also coming to PlayStation 4, as well as last-generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. EA Access, however, is available only on Xbox One.
The subscription service costs $5/month or $30/year. In addition to getting to play upcoming EA games ahead of everyone else, subscribers get access to free games in The Vault (there are currently eleven) and a 10 percent discount on all EA digital content.
