He might have an Oscar for his The Big Short screenplay, and more nominations for Vice, but as long as the stakes remain life-and-death for America, he appears game about returning to the genre where he cut his teeth.

Now, Nintendo has a reputation for being a little… well, creative is one way of putting it. With the likes of the motion-controlled Wii, the double-screened and touch-operated DS, and the Virtual Boy, they’ve proven that time and time again.

A new interview with Kiefer Sutherland has caught the 24 and Designated Survivor actor in a brillant mood, and he even took a trip down memory lane to chat about 1987’s seminal horror classic, The Lost Boys. Sutherland starred as the head of an undead biker gang in Joel Schumacher’s beloved vampire film, which hasn’t aged much, despite being ’80s as all hell. It seems there might still be some old footage from the cutting room floor somewhere, too, as Sutherland told Yahoo Entertainment he remembers the stomach-churning scene where his character, David, feeds on a group of beach revellers, going much further over the line of taste when they original filmed it....

This likely indicates that the game is getting a remake....

Hayek’s vulture capitalist simpers over how well these girls have done for themselves, clearly seeing them as girls and herself as a woman: smarter, savvier, and more deserving of profiting off the success of their cheekily accessible products like the One Night Stand Kit. What follows is a clawless comedy in which two platonic soulmates must maintain their business partnership, lest their dreams get snatched away by a tiny, golf-club-wielding caricature of a successful woman who supposedly “has it all....

It’s been a long road to the big screen for Glass, the third – and, if the director is to be believed, final – movie in M. Night Shyamalan’s surprise superhero trilogy. Nineteen years, in fact. Not that we knew it… Despite mumblings of follow-ups from star Bruce Willis and co over the years, most of us assumed that 2000’s Unbreakable was destined to be a one-off cult classic. Of course, that was until Shyamalan’s Split – a thriller centred around James McAvoy’s multifaceted serial killer, Kevin Wendell Crumb – made its big reveal: an unexpected epilogue that placed the film in the Unbreakable universe....

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an individual game and is not a DLC for nor a remastered version of Marvel’s Spider-Man (via Push Square). Sony’s The Future of Gaming event began with a bang with the reveal of Miles Morales’ own game on the PlayStation 5. However, it wasn’t clear what Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was.
