If you were looking forward to seeing Christian Bale leading the adaptation of John D. MacDonald’s mystery adventure novel The Deep Blue Goodbye, then we have some bad news. According to THR, Bale recently tore his ACL, which will prevent him from filming the adaptation due to how much physical exertion would have been required for the film, including an action sequence that would’ve taken place on boats. So for now, 20th Century Fox has put the project on hold, with some sources saying it could be postponed instead of scrapped completely, but the future fate of the film isn’t clear at this time.

We’re bound to be getting plenty of Marvel updates this week with the arrival of The Avengers: Age of Ultron hitting theaters beginning at 7pm on Thursday, April 30th. And today, we already have one update about the next film from Marvel Studios slated to go into production in May. Captain America: Civil War will have Iron Man (Tony Stark) and Captain America (Chris Evans) coming to blows, but there will still be a villain in play.

Back in February was when we heard from director Bryan Singer that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes star Kodi Smit-McPhee would be playing a younger version of the teleporting mutant Nightcrawler, originally played by Alan Cumming in X2: X-Men United. And now, just a couple months later, we have our first look at Smit-McPhee teleporting in a quick little video that Singer posted to Twitter. Though the tweet making the reveal has since been removed, the video is still available online. We don’t know anything about how Nightcrawler will be introduced this time, but Smit-McPhee looks good in the blue make-up. Look now! ›››

Much in the same way that director Michael Bay teased a bunch of the new vehicles we would be seeing in Transformers: Age of Extinction, the director has just given us a first look at the new ride our heroes in a half-shell will be driving around in for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2. It’s completely different from the turtle van we saw in the first film, and this time Donatello, Michelangelo, Rapheael and Leonardo have a garbage truck to ride around in. Notice that the name on the side of the truck says ‘Tartaruga” brothers, which is not only the name of the former owners of this truck, but also the Italian word for turtle. Look! ›››

The latest trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight has emerged online, ahead of the game’s release date on June 23, revealing a new gameplay feature.
As well as showcasing some of Gotham’s most notorious villains, such as Two-Face and Scarecrow, the video also reveals two Batman sidekicks for the first time. Both Nightwing, Robin, and Catwoman can be seen fighting alongside the Dark Knight, at times performing tag-team manoeuvres.
Publisher Warner Bros. has revealed that Batman: Arkham Knight’s will feature a new gameplay mode, called Dual Play, which lets players “seamlessly switch between The Dark Knight and his allies including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman in freeflow combat.” This sounds similar to how Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto V allows players to freely switch between the game’s three main characters.
Azrael is also shown in the new trailer.
Arkham Knight will be the first title in the series given an M rating in North America–roughly the equivalent of an 18 certificate in the UK–which suggests a darker tone for Batman’s showdown with his time-worn foes.
In a recent interview, Rocksteady founder and Arkham Knight game director Sefton Hillspoke of the challenges in creating some of the darker content. He said that publisher Warner Bros did a ratings analysis on the game and concluded that certain scenes would be likely to cause “issues.” Hill received an email informing him that these scenes–which remain a mystery–might need to be cut.
Losing these scenes, which are reportedly central to the game, could have “destroyed” the project, Hill said. However, the developer later spoke with a DC Comics executive who agreed to allow the scenes to stay, though it’s unclear if they were altered in any way.
“We’re not including gratuitous blood or swearing,” Hill added.
“We want to deliver a true end with no compromises, and it takes us to some dark places.”
Originally intended to be released in 2014, Batman Arkham Knight’s release date has been delayed again, this time to June 23. The game is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

On Friday, a report emerged that claimed Microsoft was working on an HD remaster of the original Gears of War for Xbox One. Now, additional sources speaking to Polygon have shed more light on the project, which remains officially unannounced.

The site says it has seen a handful of multiplayer screenshots for the new Gears of War remaster, noting that the Xbox One version features better lighting and improved texture quality. The publication adds that multiplayer runs at 60fps.
This frame rate, which previous Gears of War games were not able to achieve, is the staple of Activision’s Call of Duty series. This year’s Halo 5: Guardians will also run at 60fps.
In addition, the Gears of War HD Remaster will reportedly feature new cinematics.
Another source told Polygon that Splash Damage, the UK-based independent studio behind games like Brink and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, is handling development on the Gears of War HD remaster. Multiple job postings at the developer reference that the studio is currently working on a “very well known and highly popular AAA title with next gen technology.”
Microsoft acquired the Gears of War franchise from Epic Games last year, putting its internal team Black Tusk Studios to work on a new entry in the action-shooter series for Xbox One. That project is separate from the reported remaster.
As for when Microsoft may officially announce the Gears of War HD Remaster, and maybe Black Tusk’s new project, producer Rod Fergusson previously teased that fans should tune in to E3 in June. For its part, Microsoft has said its E3 presentation this year will focus on first-party games.
The original Gears of War was released in 2006 for Xbox 360 and PC. It has since spawned three major follow-ups: Gears of War 2 (2008), Gears of War 3 (2011), and Gears of War: Judgment (2013). A spinoff called Gears of War Exile–rumored to be a Kinect game–was canceled.
Though it certainly sounds like the Gears of War HD Remaster is in development, Microsoft has not offered any kind of statement whatsoever regarding the project.

Publisher Warner Bros’ latest fighting game, Mortal Kombat X, has retained its position atop the UK all-format chart.
The game, developed by Chicago studio NetherRealm, set a new sales record last week when it debuted at the top. According to UK sales monitor Chart-Track, Mortal Kombat X is the fastest-selling entry in the series’ 23-year history.
It managed to hold off Grand Theft Auto V, which retains second place due, in part, to its recent release on PC.
No key new releases means the chart shows a familiar composition, with the likes of FIFA, Battlefield Hardline, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare featuring in the top ten. Minecraft sales on PS4 jumped 172%, thanks to a PS4 bundle deal.
The full top ten follows:

Amid mounting speculation that the Silent Hills project may have been cancelled, Konami has issued a statement that suggests the game is, at the very least, undergoing major changes.
When the Silent Hills was first announced, Walking Dead star Norman Reedus was named as its lead actor, lending both his face and voice to the game. But on Monday Konami confirmed to GameSpot that “our contract period with Reedus has expired,” following the actor’s claims on Twitter that the entire project has been axed.
Regarding those rumours, Konami wouldn’t discuss the Silent Hills project specifically, but said: “We will continue to develop the Silent Hill series.”
Grave concerns over the Silent Hills game began in March, when GameSpot revealed that Hideo Kojima–Konami’s most renowned developer and a director on the project–is preparing to leave the company once work on Metal Gear Solid 5 is completed.
In the weeks that followed, a slow trickle of revelations continued to suggest that Kojima Productions’ relationship with Konami has become complicated. In late March, it emerged that Kojima’s regular podcast series was put on hiatus. Then on Sunday, players discovered that the PS4 game P.T.–a playable teaser that was essentially a grand marketing initiative to publicise the Silent Hills Project, would be removed from the PlayStation Store in a matter of days.
Director Guillermo del Toro, who was initially signed as a co-director of Silent Hills, was reported to have said on Sunday that his collaboration with Konami “is not gonna happen.”
