While remakes are all the rage at Capcom right now, one game that continues to evade its gaze is Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. While not a numbered entry in the series, Claire Redfield’s incarceration and subsequent attempt to escape Rockfort Island is considered to be a sequel to Resident Evil 3 or, more specifically, its predecessor, as it reveals the events that befell Chris’ sister following the Raccoon City accident.

Despite featuring a story integral to the franchise’s overarching narrative, however, the developer – if rumors are to be believed – has passed on the idea of reimagining this title and gotten straight to work on RE4‘s remake instead. In light of those unfortunate circumstances, a number of fans have decided to undertake the ambitious venture of recreating Code: Veronica, and the results so far are incredible, to say the least, as you can see via the video above and screenshots below.

Watch: Resident Evil – Code: Veronica Fan Remake Looks Incredible

A brief statement on the project’s website states that every character and environment has purposefully been recreated in the same style as official releases and boasts improved cinematics, gameplay and extended scenarios. In the clip shared above, Claire is shown exploring the Ashford Palace’s main hall and several adjoining rooms, though some of these are clearly unfinished and lead nowhere. Numerous instances of frame jumps and visual glitches are also evident, but such quirks are to be expected of fan-made content.

What remains to be seen now, then, is whether Capcom will allow the development of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica‘s remake to continue or if it’ll issue a cease and desist similar to that sent to creators of an RE2 remake shortly before the studio announced an official version. Watch this space for further updates.

It’s fair to say that Jared Leto’s take on the Joker has been divisive, especially compared to the performances of Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger. Although the character was slightly redeemed in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, he remains a bit cringe-worthy for some DC fans and to this end, Teen Titans Go! have chosen to roast Leto’s version of the villain in episode “Pig in a Poke,” wherein they impersonate him as part of a plan to break into his lair.

In the clip, which you can catch above, Robin, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy head into action after the Joker steals Starfire’s money with an internet scam. Travelling to Axis Chemicals, the gang demonstrate how “phishing” schemes work by taking turns to mimic the Clown Prince of Crime to his henchmen via a security monitor.

The tongue-in-cheek scene riffs on the many incarnations of the Joker we’ve seen over the years, beginning with Cyborg’s impersonation of Jack Nicholson’s Burtonverse figure, including one of his most iconic lines from the 1989 Batman. Next up, Beast Boy gives a pretty decent Ledger, which seems to be enough to fool the guard until Robin goes for Leto’s Joker, instantly raising the henchman’s suspicions as to whether he’s actually talking to his boss.

Although it’s worth watching the video for yourself, it’s perhaps no surprise that the rest of the Titans aren’t very impressed with Robin or the legitimacy of the tattooed, “edgy” Joker of the DCEU, leaving it up to Beast Boy to whip out a Mark Hamill animated riff to get them into the base. Without being malicious, Teen Titans Go! arguably echoes what many think of Leto’s hyperactive performance. And despite rumors of future cameos, it’s probably safe to assume that Warner Bros. are moving onto other options, including a now-increasingly likely Joker 2.

M. Night Shyamalan is on a hot streak at the moment which looks to continue with this summer’s Old. The supernatural thriller is based on Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peters’ graphic novel Sandcastle, which tells of an idyllic beach that has a dark secret – it makes people… old. In the book, we find some unwitting tourists trapped there as they rapidly age, with children growing up before their parents’ eyes and healthy adults crumbling into senility.

Shymalan is reportedly inspired by Sandcastle rather than simply retelling the story, but the core supernatural premise remains the same (though c’mon, there’s obviously going to be a twist). The first trailer was released during the Super Bowl and showed some genuinely freaky stuff, with a mother horrified that her six-year-old son is now an adult and a woman going through an accelerated pregnancy.

Today, we received an extended theatrical trailer and it’s clear that Shyamalan isn’t skimping on the existential terror. There’s something of a body horror aspect to this, too, all offset by the lush tropical backdrop of the Dominican Republic. The new promo also gives us a better look at the cast, which features Gael Garcia Bernal, Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Aaron Pierre, Rufus Sewell and Embeth Davidtz (among many others).

After the flops of The Last Airbender and After Earth, Shyamalan’s directorial future was looking shaky. But over the 2010s he’s been the quintessential comeback kid, with his last three movies (The Visit, Split and Glass) cumulatively grossing $625 million on relatively low budgets.

Beyond that, he’s also the executive producer of Apple TV+ show Servant, which has a been a big hit. So, fingers crossed this carries that winning run and Shymalan continues to unnerve us for years to come.

Old hits theaters on July 23rd.

Considering the huge numbers generated by new movies and television series across several streaming services, the holiday season is a great time to debut high profile original content.

After all, HBO Max’s Wonder Woman 1984 ended up with the largest streaming debut of any 2020 film and was just ahead of Pixar’s Soul, which made its way onto Disney Plus on the same day. Netflix’s We Can Be Heroes and Bridgerton both exploded onto the scene out of nowhere in December as well and became massive hits for the platform.

On top of that, we also got season 3 of Cobra Kai shortly after and it, too, ended up being another huge streaming success story. Thankfully, we already know that a fourth run is headed our way and today, Netflix has dropped a new promo for it, teasing the return of a Karate Kid villain.

Yes, as you can see in the video up above, that’s indeed Terry Silver, the guy who founded the Cobra Kai dojo. And he’ll be played once again by Thomas Ian Griffith.

“Since the beginning of the series, we’ve been carefully orchestrating the right moment to unleash Cobra Kai dojo co-founder Terry Silver back into the universe,” executive producers Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg said in a statement. “That moment is now. We can’t wait for the whole world to experience Thomas Ian Griffith’s majestic return to the franchise.”

Of course, there were hints of Silver’s return in season 3, with the finale leaving many fans assuming that he’d indeed be involved in the next run. And sure enough, it’s now been confirmed. Unfortunately, we don’t have too many details yet on just how he’ll factor into things, but no doubt the showrunners have something exciting in store.

Cobra Kai season 4 is expected to be with us later this year, and as soon as we learn more about what’s on the cards for Mr. Silver, we’ll be sure to let you know. Until then, though, feel free to leave your own theories down below.

There can be only one, and it seems that it’ll be Henry Cavill.

Lionsgate is finally moving ahead with their reboot of the Highlander franchise, which has been stuck in development hell for a very long time now, with DCEU star Cavill attached to the lead role. Understandably, the internet is going crazy for the casting, and everyone’s eager to see how the Superman actor fares in the part.

Of course, we’re still a long ways away from getting any sort of glimpse in him in costume, let alone of him in action, but a new deepfake has surfaced this week which gives us at least a decent idea of what may be in store for us, and you can check it out up above.

The original 1986 pic had Mortal Kombat‘s Christopher Lambert in the lead as Connor MacLeod, though we still don’t know whether Cavill will be taking on that same role or if he’s playing someone else and the reboot will just maintain continuity with what’s come before. Either way, it’s an exciting prospect. Especially when you consider that John Wick co-director Chad Stahelski is behind the camera.

Indeed, Stahelski has proven himself as one of the action genre’s most promising filmmakers recently and has a whole slew of impressive credits under his belt both as a director and stuntman. Combine that with the fact that Cavill has already shown us that he works well in the fantasy genre – and specifically with swords and the like – in The Witcher, and Highlander looks like it’s about to make a big comeback in pop culture and find a whole new audience once the reboot eventually arrives. Whenever that may be.
