It’s been three years since Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones put on those black suits and fought aliens. Producers Walker Parkes and Laurie MacDonald confirmed to THR that a new film is in the works, but that neither Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones will be involved in the sequel. Seriously? Jones and Smith are what made those movies great. I should mention that there won’t be just one new ‘Men in Black’ film, there will be three. Right now the film is in early preproduction. ‘Men in Black 4″ is being penned by ’22 Jumps Street’ writer Oren Uziel and Lowell Cunningham, who wrote the three original ‘Men in Black’ movies. Cunningham’s involvement in the part 4 makes me have a little more hopeful. The big question is, can the movies make it without Smith and Jones ?

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback wants residents of the state to be prepared for a zombie attack. Brownback has announced that he will sign a proclamation today (9/30) designating October as “Zombie Awareness Month”. No, this is not a joke. The Governor’s reasoning behind “Zombie Awareness Month” is that if people are prepared for zombies they’re pretty much prepared for any disaster. If you think about it, it’s a clever idea to use the popularity of the zombie genre to get people prepared for real disasters. In a statement Brownback said “If you’re prepared for zombies, you’re prepared for anything.” He continued “Although an actual zombie apocalypse will never happen, the preparation for such an event is the same as for any disaster: make a disaster kit, have a plan and practice it.” The state emergency planning website will offer “preparedness challenges” to help people prepare, like lists of supplies, plans and will offer challenges through social media.

“V has come to” is how the game begins. Such a simple phrase and yet has so much behind it. Minutes after “V has come to” the game ascends and shows us what we have in store. Big Boss, our main protagonist awakens from a 9 year coma in a hospital in Cyprus missing an arm and having a large chunk of shrapnel lodged in his head, Big Boss’ awakening is only cut short when the hospital is invaded by a covert military force dubbed “XOF” on the hunt to kill him. With the help of a mysterious man named “Ishmal” Big Boss is able to escape a narrow death. Soon later the halls of the hospital begin to fill with smoke and fire when suddenly a man covered in head to toe in fire arrives in the hospital and begins searching for Big Boss.

A little while back a small indie game called “The Escapists” was released onto next-gen consoles and PC and was a pretty big success. The game was a “Shawshank Redemption”-esque game, where you played a character trying to escape from a prison. Well now the developers of the game Team 17 have now taken their gameplay and 8 bit pixel style graphics and mixed it with “The Walking Dead”. The game places you in control of Rick Grimes and has you creating safe escape routes to help and secure survivors from large areas. You have to fend off zombies and rescue as many survivors as you can. The unique aspect of the game though is how it takes most of its source material not from the TV show but from the comics, so you’ll see some very similar locations as well as new places not yet seen in the show. “The Escapist: The Walking Dead” is avalible now on Xbox
