Concept artist Shane Baxley knows. He knows deep down, like your or I do, that Half-Life 3 is never coming. Only instead of letting it hurt him, he got to work drawing. Dreaming.
Retro and auction specialists Game Sniped have put together a list detailing the “Rarest and Most Expensive” North American SNES games as of May 2015. Don’t let the title scare you; most of them can be had in some form for around the $100 mark.

It’s nothing major, but it is another official confirmation from Lucasfilm. This time the studio has confirmed to Vanity Fair that they definitely are developing another new Indiana Jones movie – it will “one day be made”. Ever since Disney bought Lucasfilm, we’ve been hearing rumors and rumblings of another Indiana Jones that might continue where Kingdom of the Crystal Skull left off, or reboot the series altogether. Over the years we’ve heard names like Bradley Cooper and Chris Pratt mentioned as potential replacements, but again nothing is confirmed yet. In fact, Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy went so far as to say that they haven’t even started working on a script yet. Too early for anything to actually come together, only ideas for now. ›››
More Louis please! Ask and you shall receive. It looks like comedian/filmmaker Louis C.K. is headed back to feature filmmaking, with THR reporting that he’s ready to write, direct and star in a new independent film titled I’m a Cop. Aside from Louis C.K. being involved, Scott Rudin (of Captain Phillips, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Rosewater, While We’re Young, Top Five recently) is producing, which means this project has plenty of weight behind it. I’m a huge fan of Louis and I’ve been waiting to write about him again, as he once directed a few features, including Pootie Tang, before focusing on his comedy work and eventually his Emmy-winning show “Louie”. So what is his new script about (besides a cop of some kind)? Let’s find out.›››
He’s back! Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is back into acting, appearing in the zombie flick Maggie in theaters this summer, as well as Terminator Gensisys. He’s out promoting and recently stopped by “The Late Late Show With James Corden”, where he acted out pretty much every film he’s been in. As one of those kids who grew up watching Schwarzenegger movies all day, whether it be True Lies or Terminator or Predator or Kindergarten Cop or whatever, it’s quite amusing to see him relive his past and have fun while at it. It’s just a fun six minute comedy sketch where Corden and Schwarzenegger act out his entire filmography, and it should make you smile and laugh to watch. Plus he talks about which one is his favorite. ›››
Watch out Tim Curry. Over at Variety they’re reporting that Cary Fukunaga (of Sin Nombre, Jane Eyre, Beasts of No Nation, “True Detective”) has cast the lead in his new It feature, which will be split into two movies. Sources have told them that young actor Will Poulter, currently 22 years old, is “in negotiations” to play Pennywise the evil clown. Poulter last appeared in The Maze Runner as Gally, along with A Plea for Grimsby, Glassland, We’re the Millers and Son of Rambow. He’s also in the upcoming The Revenant, which we’ll all be watching this December. Apparently the audition won over Fukunaga and they couldn’t say no. ›››
Woot! Lionsgate has officially announced development on John Wick 2 via a press release sent to press on May 4th. The release contains very basic information, but confirms that everyone is back: Keanu Reeves as John Wick, along with directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski as well as screenwriter Derek Kolstad all returning. The film is being sold at the Cannes Market coming up this month, which is why the news has arrived as a confirmation like this. No information about release timing is included in the press release, but it sounds like it might go quick if things go well in Cannes. As a huge fan of John Wick from last year (it was in my Top 10!) there’s something particularly exciting about knowing more Wick is on the way. ›››
It’s a Chrometrooper! One of the many new characters we’ll be meeting in J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens is this bad guy (she’s part of the “First Order” not the “Empire” anymore) nicknamed the “Chromtrooper”, played by Gwendoline Christie (of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, “Game of Thrones”), who wears a chrome stormtrooper outfit and carries a big gun. The caption from the reveal at Vanity Fair (as part of the Annie Leibovitz photo spread) only states: “First Order officer Captain Phasma surveys the rubble following an attack.” Sleek. I wish we could see her without the mask! Very interesting. ›››
