Karl Urban Wants To Star In A Red Dead Redemption Film

I'd love to play that character. Red Dead is a fantastic game. It's interesting because I didn't really have too much of an opportunity to get that heavily invested in the gaming culture... when I did get the rare opportunity, Red Dead was certainly one of the games that spoke to me.

Helldivers Movie Taps Minecraft's Jason Momoa For Alien Carnage

The PlayStation-backed Helldivers movie will release on November 10, 2027 with Justin Lin of the Fast and Furious franchise directing. Momoa and Lin previously collaborated on Fast X which was critically-panned but did fine at the box office. That over-the-top franchise certainly has parallels to Arrowhead Game Studios' sci-fi parody of inter-galactic war that's loosely inspired by Starship Troopers, but deftly nailing the same tone as the hit PS5 and PC extraction shooter won't be easy.

'Super Mario Galaxy' Trailer Reveals Our First Glimpse Of A Fan-Favorite Character

But while most of these characters look like Easter eggs, Yoshi appears to be a major part of the plot. We see Toad's reaction to a dinosaur randomly joining the team, and the teaser ends with Yoshi (now babysitting Baby Mario and Baby Luigi) facing off against an actual dinosaur, presumably a nod to Super Mario Odyssey. We don't know how that will end up, but the two clearly aren't part of the same species.

You Know Video Game Adaptations Are Cooked When 'Silent Hill' (2006) Has Aged This Well

In Greek mythology, Orpheus was an exceptional artist granted a miracle. His music was so powerful that the gods allowed him to lead his dead wife, Eurydice, out of the Underworld on one condition - he may never look back. He and his wife almost make it, but at the threshold between hell and earth, doubt creeps in. Orpheus turns around before he's thrust back into the human world, forced to spend the rest of his life alone filled with profound, inescapable regret.
