Co-written by Daugherty and Zach Shields, the film is the next installment of Legendary’s MonsterVerse and will set the stage for Godzilla’s battle with King Kong. King of Monsters will follow the heroic efforts of the Monarch agency, a crypto-zoological agency that handles gigantic monsters, including Godzilla who will face Rodan, Mothra, and the three-headed King Ghidorah. “When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.” Filming recently wrapped for the film which made it possible for actor O’Shea Jackson Jr. to tease the upcoming fight during a conversation with Collider. In the last scene between Godzilla and King Ghidorah, I promise you, you will never forget it, in your life,” the actor promised. “As a nerd, I am foaming at the mouth to get in the editing

A new first-person shooting video game set in the Alien universe is in the works over at FoxNext Games with Cold Iron Studios developing the game. This will be the first Alien FPS since Aliens: Colonial Marines that was released in 2013 by SEGA and Gearbox Software.

SEGA settled the lawsuit and Gearbox was dropped from it. The plot and more details about the upcoming game as of right now are under wraps so no confirmation if this is an original story set in the Alien franchise or if it’s directly connected.

Logan Paul, disgraced YouTuber, overnight has-been, internet nobody, and now the “Dumbest Criminal” in Japan’s history. Earlier this month, Japanese police announced they wanted to talk to Paul in regards to the video of him and his friends filming the body of a suicide victim while joking about it. Though the original controversy surrounded him using the victim as a prop it turned out he used Japan as a whole as a prop for his vlogs and as a result, he’s possibly facing four misdemeanor charges mainly involving disturbing the peace and traffic violations. An ex-detective gave Paul the title of being the “dumbest criminal” because he willingly filmed himself breaking the law, you can see a “highlight reel” put together by Nextshark below. The Japanese criminal justice system is way different than the US’s; you’re guilty until proven innocent. Before you go “That’s barbaric and wrong!” here’s why, the Japanese police and Japanese society as a whole has a

Throughout 2017 Neill Blomkamp released a series of intense, fantastic short horror film through Oats Studios. The titles included Rakka, Firebase, Zygote, and Lima. Each with a sci-fi horror feel. Back in July during our interview with Blomkamp, he revealed plans to turn at least one of his short films into a feature film. These are ideas. They are sort of vignettes into the world of ‘Zygote’, or the world of ‘Firebase’, or the world of ‘Rakka’. Once we make them and see how they look and how they feel and how the online audience responds to them, we can choose which one we feel like turning into a feature film. At this point, I don’t think that any footage or pieces that we have already shot would be used in the feature film. They are more like informative, tonal, references for writing new scripts and new stories.” It appears that Blomkamp has narrowed it down to Firebase or Zygote
