I always wanted a pet Dinosaur when I was a kid, I think that was a common wish by most youngsters. After seeing the “Jurassic Park” films over the years I think that changed my opinion but I can live that wild dream again in the business simulation video game, “Jurassic World Evolution”. Frontier Developments was kind enough to allow me early access to the game. The game is basically like your theme park simulation games except you are dealing with dinosaurs in the “Jurassic World” universe (meaning all hell will break loose). You take on the role of a park manager on the Las Cinco Muertes (the five deaths) island where you are building a new “Jurassic World” theme park and to help you along the way is Ian Malcolm offering his opinions and advice along with other characters from the films, and yes, Jeff Goldblum is playing Malcolm! Onto the game; if you’re not familiar with business/multitasking/management type

Freeform has ordered the pilot for a new witch centered horror-action series with the working title “Motherland“, also known as “Untitled Eliot Laurence Project”. According to Deadline, the show is “an hour-long fantasy drama” from “Claws” creator Eliot Laurence and Gary Sanchez Productions.

In this world, the traditional roles of gender and power are flipped with the more dominant women on the front lines fighting looming terrorist threats that are familiar to our world, but with tactics and weapons supernatural.” Steve Adelson (12 Monkeys) will be in the director’s chair for the pilot. Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, and Kevin Messick will be executive producing. We had been looking for a show about witches,”

Fans were originally skeptical when they learned that a new Hellboy was in the works. The reason, Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman, who is the original Hellboy, are not involved. But the more we learn the more our interest is peaked. Mike Mignola, who created the character and co-wrote the new film, recently made a statement about what fans can expect from the movie. Andrew Cosby and Christopher Golden co-wrote the screenplay with Mignola. Well, I mean, if anything, we’re trying to do something very different. Basically, there’s no part of Hellboy that was ever going to be like other superhero movies. And the more Marvel stuff there is the more DC stuff there is, Hellboy never really feels like, even in the [Guillermo] del Toro things, a superhero movie. It’s so much ‘big teams of guys, in costumes, running around and saving the world from big cosmic menace stuff…’ I believe the new movie will feel even less
