Ubisoft announced today the release date for their upcoming FPS Far Cry 6 along with more information about the characters and mechanics of the game and the potential craziness that awaits players in the fictitious nation of Yaran. Yaran is a country in the Caribbean stuck in time as it’s under the strict control of its dictator Antón Castillo (Giancarlo Esposito). Players take on the role of Dani Rojas, a Yaran military dropout who players can choose to be either a Man or a Woman.

Here players get to help out Clara Garcia, the leader of the guerilla forces known as Libertad, and Juan Cortez, a former KGB spy, and master of guerilla combat.

The New ‘Werewolves Within’ Trailer Will Leave You Howling With Laughter

After a proposed pipeline creates divisions within the small town of Beaverfield, and a snowstorm traps its residents together inside the local inn, newly arrived forest ranger Finn (Sam Richardson) and postal worker Cecily (Milana Vayntrub) must try to keep the peace and uncover the truth behind a mysterious creature that has begun terrorizing the community in Werewolves Within. We’ve got the new trailer for the movie directed by Josh Ruben and written by Mishna Wolff that’s part horror, part comedy and will leave you howling with laughter. Werewolves Within stars Richardson, Vayntrub, George Basil, Sarah Burns, Michael Chernus, Catherine Curtain, Wayne Duvall, Harvey Guillén, Rebecca Henderson, Cheyenne Jackson, Michaela Watkins, and Glenn Fleshler. I grew up near the same small town where we shot Werewolves Within. As a kid, I’d freak myself out, making up monster stories, running through the woods, pretending I was Chief Brody, fighting creatures in the brush (I LOVED Jaws — hell, I loved horror).

‘Halloween’s’ Danny McBride Behind New ‘Garbage Pail Kids’ Series

If you were around in the 80s and early 90s, odds are you will remember the Garbage Pail Kids, the gross characters that were a twist on the Cabbage Patch Kids. The characters first appeared as trading cards with gum and a sticker that were so cringe-worthy that they were banned in schools. In 1987 they got their own live-adaption movie which holds an impressive 0% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, followed by a tv series. Now, they are back and they are getting a new animated series! Danny McBride’s (Halloween, Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends) Rough House Pictures and Michael Eisner‘s Tornante Company, which owns the baseball card giant Topps, the original creators of Garbage Pail Kids, are producing the series that Bride will write along with “Solar Opposites” Josh Bycel. Some of the original characters include Jay Decay, a zombie; Drippy Dan, a doll covered in holes with fluid leaking out; Messy Tessie, who has a massive amount

Korea’s BIFAN Film Festival Unveils a Six-Poster Set for Its 25th Birthday This Summer

The following information is Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival’s official press announcement. The 25th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN, Festival Director: SHIN Chul) unveiled this year’s official posters on the 27th. The six posters make up the “cake series” that celebrates BIFAN’s 25th birthday, and they reflect this year’s slogan: “Stay Strange.” The mix of cuteness and bizarreness depict a sense of disharmony within harmony. The posters also act as an invitation welcoming everyone to come eat and be merry at the feast that has been prepared by BIFAN for its 25th anniversary. The “Stay Strange” slogan is an expression of BIFAN’s determination to show keen support for unconventional genre film talents that have turned away from the mainstream. The slogan implies that, although their stories might be unfamiliar and strange to some, if these stories are nurtured, the talents behind them can eventually meet BIFAN and blossom. “Stay Strange” also captures the hope and comfort being offered to
