Epic Games and Disney are making a big announcement as part of their continually deepening relationship. In June, Epic announced that Fortnite creators would “soon” be able to make custom Star Wars-themed games and experiences, and starting Thursday that feature is finally launching. While creators can start making experiences now, they’ll be able to publish […]
The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is finally here, and it looks like Marvel and Sony are about to put Peter Parker through a different kind of existential crisis. Though nobody in Brand New Day’s trailer knows who Peter (Tom Holland) is or that he’s the one saving people as Spider-Man, he still […]
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a portentous set of twin babies in the new trailer for Dune: Part Three. Warner Bros. has debuted its first full trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s third Dune film. Thankfully, it doesn’t give everything about the film away, but it does put a spotlight on a few of […]

Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will once […]

Models like Sora, Veo, and Runway just do not seem all that […]

While I may not exactly be an expert, this is a good movie, whether you’re a first-time Godzilla viewer or a longtime kaiju fan. If you’ve […]
