Edgar Wright is one of the most exciting and inventive filmmakers in the business, but it’s been a rocky road bringing his latest effort Last Night in Soho to the big screen.

The writer/director was hot off the success of Baby Driver earning over $226 million at the box office and winning three Academy Awards when he first signalled his intentions to dive into the realms of psychological horror, with the project being announced in January 2019. Last Night in Soho came together awfully quickly after that, with shooting calling it a wrap in August.

However, the Coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc with its release schedule, and having initially been dated for September 2020 and then April of this year, it’s now set to arrive in October, while during that time stars and former Bond Girls Diana Rigg and Margaret Nolan have both passed away.

Luckily, the trailer looks to be another home run for Wright’s filmography, as he ventures into different genre territory once again. Recent Golden Globe winning The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy headlines the ensemble as singer Sandy, who appears to have a mysterious connection to Thomasin McKenzie’s Eloise after the latter somehow winds up in 1960s London and comes face-to-face with her idol.

The footage hardly makes the ins and outs of the narrative any clearer, but Wright is famed for subverting the expected tropes and formulas on any film he makes, so nothing about Last Night in Soho promises to be straightforward. It looks weird, wild and more than a little trippy, so it’s at least perfectly befitting the reputation of Swinging Sixties London, this time with the added elements of a psychedelic, psychological cross between horror and thriller.

Karen Gillan is no stranger to the world of action cinema having made four appearances so far as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Nebula, with her fifth and sixth outings on the way in Thor: Love and Thunder and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, while she impressed with both her fight skills and comic timing in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and sequel The Next Level, resulting in billions of dollars at the box office.

However, she hasn’t been afforded the opportunity to take top billing in a violent genre pic all of her own, but that’s about to change when Gunpowder Milkshake comes to Netflix on July 14th. The streaming service shelled out over $10 million to acquire the distribution rights to Navot Papushado’s high concept thriller, but it’ll be released theatrically in international markets by STX Films.

The plot is straightforward, high concept and sounds all sorts of awesome, with Gillan starring as a woman that’s followed in her mother’s footsteps by becoming an assassin, but she ends up protecting an 8 year-old girl when a job goes wrong. Seeking refuge, she enlists the help of her mom and her associates, who form a cabal of legendary contract killers known as The Librarians.

Lena Headey will play Gillan’s wayward parent, while Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh and Carla Gugino fill out the group, and Paul Giamatti will be devouring the scenery as the villain. The trailer looks to deliver exactly what you’d expect from a high octane action movie with a title like Gunpowder Milkshake, and having sat on the shelf for a while after production wrapped in the summer of 2019, it possess all the tools to be a major Netflix success.

Apex Legends players looking to hone their skills in the highly competitive battle royale may have to start strengthening their wrist muscles. That’s according to a new video posted by popular content creator Torje, at least, who claims to have shared a strategy used by pros such as CLG Lou and COL Monsoon. This trick, they say, is dubbed the “Oscillation Method” and involves having the user rotate their limbs in tandem with the recoil pattern of any given weapon.

In demonstrating the process, Torje records themselves emptying a clip of the Flatline assault rifle into a wall while vibrating their wrist, the end result being a consistent circular spread with no stray bullets. We’ll get into the nitty-gritty of how to become an expert marksman in just a moment, but first, give the guide a watch for yourself above.

While it may appear to be a simple maneuver on the surface, Torje details that in order to get reliable results, players will have to adjust the speed of their wrist vibrations in line with the fully automatic or burst-type rifle currently equipped. The aforementioned Flatline, for example, fires an impressive 600 rounds-per-minute and to compensate, rotations should be performed at 10x the speed of that statistic. Ultimately, then, anyone wishing to adopt this approach would need to ‘oscillate’ ten times per second.

Not an unreachable goal by any means, though unless you see yourself making the big leagues, we’d recommend giving this one some thought if you wish to avoid incurring a repetitive strain injury, or worse. We encourage anyone not deterred by the risks, however, to let us know in the usual place below if they’ve had any success with this strange Apex Legends quirk!

To give you an indication of just how bad the theatrical industry has been hit by the Coronavirus pandemic, the last Hollywood blockbuster to earn more money at the box office than Godzilla vs. Kong was Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which hit theaters around the world on December 20th, 2019.

Adam Wingard’s monster mash passed Bad Boys for Life‘s $426 million tally last weekend, thanks largely to a very strong showing in the rebounding Chinese market, and the numbers were even more impressive when you consider that the latest chapter in the MonsterVerse was released simultaneously on HBO Max and drew in record viewing numbers on WarnerMedia’s streaming service.

Despite all of the key creatives remaining tight-lipped on where the franchise was going following Godzilla vs. Kong, Wingard was revealed to be in talks about a return to the world of kaiju and the Hollow Earth to helm the next installment, which may or may not be Son of Kong. We probably won’t be getting further details on that for a while yet, but the epic clash of the Titans is coming to home video on June 15th, and to get the publicity train rolling, the studio have made the first ten minutes of the movie available to watch online to try and entice those who haven’t seen it.

Admittedly, the most exciting thing to happen in the first ten minutes is Kong scratching his big hairy ass, with the majority of that time being taken up by the opening credits, but it nonetheless reminds people that Godzilla vs. Kong is coming to Blu-Ray and DVD, while it’s even hanging on in the domestic box office Top 10, so there are going to be countless ways to rewatch the supersized smackdown over the next few weeks.
