You can PIK up Pikmin 3 on August 4th for the WiiU!

Unfortunately, the film is still over two years away. The film adaptation of Assassin’s Creed will hit theatres on May 22, 2015. No other information about the feature has been revealed at this time, and the film is still without a director, but I’d expect that to change very soon.

Video game movies are typically (or is it always) awful. Could Assassin’s Creed be any different?

Skyfall director Sam Mendes recently turned down the job of directing the next film in the Bond series, and it has left the leaders of James Bond Films scrambling for the next director. This is all still speculation as Nolan has a lot on his plate with the pre-production of his next film Interstellar. Sam Mendes has said that 12 -18 months of pre production would be needed for Bond 24.

I personally think this would be a great choice. I still firmly believe that James Bond is the GREATEST superhero of all time, think I’m wrong? He is literally Batman without the leather fetish. Both are masters of martial arts, smart as a whip, great with the ladies and has a shit ton of gadgets at his fingertips. They are also both orphans and have both been raised by geriatric mentors. So getting the best Batman director to direct the next Bond film makes perfect sense.

More info as it comes out.

The regular price of each title is $5.99, but from May 30th to June 20th, each game will cost you a cool $4.99. Watch the trailer for the rerelease below, and let us know if you’ll be picking these up!

Featuring four of the classic Bruce Lee films that would make him one of the most important martial artists ever to grace the screen, THE BRUCE LEE LEGACY COLLECTION contains the first-ever Blu-ray™ presentation of THE BIG BOSS, FIST OF FURY, WAY OF THE DRAGON and GAME OF DEATH;
Three feature-length documentaries BRUCE LEE: THE LEGEND (and the original version BRUCE LEE: THE MAN, THE LEGEND), the critically acclaimed I AM BRUCE LEE and THE GRANDMASTER AND THE DRAGON: WILLIAM CHEUNG AND BRUCE LEE; a special bonus disc with hours of new bonus content exclusive to this set, and four DVDs of aforementioned action-packed classics. A fitting tribute and celebration in honor of the legend, these sumptuous offerings are collected in a deluxe book-style packaging, brimming with 68 pages of archival materials, rare and never-before-released photos, new essay on Lee’s amazing career, and much more!

Bruce Lee was and always will be a legend. His acting and his personal philosophies are so unique no other person will match him. His life was tragically cut short  and the day he died we lost a great person. So if you are a huge film buff or just a fan of Bruce himself get your hands on the Legacy Collection on August 6th!

The campaign will be released in both digital and physical formats, with digital dropping on June 20th for $19.99, and the physical edition hitting stores on August 25th for $29.99. The downloadable version of course requires the original game to function, while the retail copy will work all on its own.

I’m incredibly excited for the new campaign. As far as I know, it’s the biggest piece of DLC that Nintendo has ever released, literally changing everything about the game. I can’t wait to give Luigi his turn in the spotlight! Let us know how excited you are, and check out the other highlights from today’s presentation here!

The next game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series will release exclusively on Nintendo consoles. Sonic: Lost World is the name of the game, and aside from a single image it was simply announced that we’d learn more about the game at this year’s E3.

The partnership between the companies is very exciting, and should certainly help Nintendo drive some sales on their currently struggling console.

Take a look at the first image from Sonic: Lost World below, and let us know what you think! Head here for more highlights from today’s Nintendo Direct.

Below are the highlights of the conference. Make sure to check back for more detailed information throughout the day.

So that’s about it. While I wish there was more info on new games, I guess that’s what E3 is for. And at least we finally know when Wonderful 101 is coming out! Now onwards to E3.

The latest trailer first takes us through the wolfpack’s humble beginnings and its darkest hours, before showing us just what’s in store for them next. Everything looks like pretty standard Hangover fare, so you likely already know whether or not you’ll enjoy this one.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! The Hangover Part III hits theatres on May 24th!

The Hangover Part III” is the third and final film in director Todd Phillips’ record-shattering comedy franchise. This time, there’s no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.

Today, the sequel’s official title has been revealed, as has its director. Yuen Wo Ping will helm Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II: The Green Destiny. Wo Ping has directed over 20 Chinese films, and has also been very prominent in Hollywood, choreographing fights for more than a dozen action films, including The Matrix and Kill Bill.

It looks like we won’t be seeing this sequel as soon as we’d hoped, however. While originally announced to shoot this May, The Green Destiny will now begin production in March 2014. Michelle Yeoh is set to reprise her role from the first film, while Donnie Yen will star as Silent Wolf.

I still haven’t seen the first film, so I’m not sure how fans will feel about the news. Are you looking forward to the sequel? Sound out below!

I’m excited for Under the Dome. I’m into anything with Brian K. Vaughan’s name on it (you’re reading Saga, right?), and this project is no different. Watch the new trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to it. Under the Dome premieres on June 24th!

You know how much we’re looking forward to the film here at Geekscape. Every image, every preview, and every piece of viral marketing has been awesome. With a director like Guillermo Del Toro in charge of this one, Pacific Rim is bound to be one of the most intense experiences of the year.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know just how excited you are!

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes – a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) – who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

If you are looking forward to the movie, a World War Z iOS game is also on its way. Set to hit the App Store on May 30th, the game adaptation looks pretty awful itself, but with Phosphor Entertainment developing, maybe things will turn out alright. Little information is available on the title at this time, but World War Z is set to featured 28 levels of combat, and a fully upgradable arsenal of weapons and armor.

Watch the trailer for the game below, and let us know if you’ll be picking it up!

Batman: Arkham Origins will release for every major platform on October 25th.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has won the exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the eagerly anticipated Angry Birds animated film, making it one of the most high-profile deals of the year. The 3D film is being developed, produced, and financed by Rovio Entertainment and will be released worldwide by Sony Pictures on July 1, 2016. Several major studios pursued the global film rights in recent weeks, with Sony Pictures Entertainment emerging as the winner.

 

Michael Lynton, Chairman & CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Amy Pascal, Co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio Entertainment jointly announced their partnership today. John Cohen and David Maisel – producer of Despicable Me and executive producer of Iron Man, respectively – are both on board for the new Angry Birds feature film. Cohen will serve as producer and Maisel is executive producer.

 

Commenting on the announcement, Mikael Hed said, “Sony impressed us with their great attitude, determination, and professionalism. They convinced us that we have found the right partners and team to help us market and distribute our first motion picture. Michael, Amy, Jeff Blake, Sony’s marketing and distribution head, and their teams will be the best possible collaborators as we get set to take our franchise to the next level.”

 

Lynton and Pascal said, “Every studio in town would love to add Angry Birds to their slate. There are few titles out there that bring this kind of excitement, brand awareness and built-in audience to the table. We’re thrilled to be distributing this film and we hope this is just the beginning of what will be a long relationship with Rovio as we look for ways to work on future projects together.”

 

David Maisel and John Cohen said, “We are very excited to join with Sony Pictures in presenting this movie to the world in 2016 and we will have many more announcements as we begin production in the coming months.”

 

Angry Birds is one of the world’s biggest entertainment franchises, starting in 2009 with the original mobile game that remains the number one paid app of all time. Angry Birds has expanded rapidly into entertainment, publishing, and licensing to become a beloved international brand.

 

Angry Birds has been praised for its great value and simple, casual gameplay. Players use a slingshot to launch birds at green pigs in an attempt to get their eggs back, with the game setting the model for what is possible in terms of game development and commercial success. To date, the Angry Birds and Bad Piggies games have been downloaded more than 1.7 billion times across platforms and versions.

 

The upcoming movie marks Rovio Entertainment’s first foray into feature films, although fans have already been introduced to the Angry Birds world with the weekly Angry Birds Toons animated series. Rovio launched the series in March through its Angry Birds apps as well as on select video-on-demand channel providers, Smart TVs, connected devices, and on select TV networks around the world. Paving the way for a full-length feature film, Angry Birds Toons has been a massive success for Rovio clocking in over 150 million views from the Angry Birds apps alone within the first six weeks.

 

While known for distributing world renowned motion picture franchises such as Spider-Man, Sony Pictures has been building a strong reputation in contemporary animation through its house production unit, Sony Pictures Animation, and hit films including Hotel Transylvania, The Smurfs, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Surf’s Up, Open Season, and Aardman’s Arthur Christmas and The Pirates! Band of Misfits.

I don’t know what to think just yet. Obviously this movie wasn’t meant for ME and is going to be a goofy kids movie, but I watch god damned Ponies so who am I to decide.

May 15, 2013 – Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Steam Trading Cards, a new service that rewards gamers for gaming on Steam.

 

Released in beta today, Steam Trading Cards allows customers to earn Steam rewards for playing the games they love. Those who participate will receive game-specific trading cards that can be collected to earn rewards such as game badges, profile backgrounds, emoticons, coupons, and more.

 

The group of titles participating in the Steam Trading Cards beta includes Don’t Starve, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2 and Half-Life 2. The service will expand over the coming months to include many more titles on Steam.

Some of the available cards for CS: GO

They seem like they are taking what they did with TF2 and bringing it to the entire system. Some of the cards can be obtained just by playing the game while some need to be collected through other means.

The biggest feature that this is bringing is the Badge Crafting. Players can take certain cards they’ve collected and craft them into badges. Badges give the player experience points that level up their Steam Profile. This gives them on gameplay bonuses like avatars, emoticons for chat and more friend slots. The big feature you can get are random rewards. These can range from profile showcases for certain games, background image wallpapers all the way up to free DLC and discount coupons.

For more information on the new cards or to sign up for the beta head on over to the official trading card page.

With just a few weeks to go until V/H/S/2 hits VOD, Magnet has released the first red-band trailer for the film. It’s very red-band, and is filled with disturbing clips from each short featured in the anthology. If you were a fan of the first movie, V/H/S/2 looks to have stepped up its game in almost every way.

V/H/S/2 hits VOD on June 6th, theatres on July 12th, and features segments by Jason Eisner (Hobo With a Shotgun), Eduardo Sanchez and Gregg Hale (The Blair Witch Project), Gareth Evans (The Raid), Timo Tjahjanto (Macabre), and Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (A Horrible Way to Die). Watch the red-band trailer below, and let us know what you think!

Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static—white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.
 
From the demented minds that brought you last year’s V/H/S comes V/H/S/2, an all-new anthology of dread, madness, and gore. This follow-up ventures even further down the demented path blazed by its predecessor, discovering new and terrifying territory in the genre. This is modern horror at its most inventive, shrewdly subverting our expectations about viral videos in ways that are just as satisfying as they are sadistic. The result is the rarest of all tapes—a second generation with no loss of quality.

Emmy Award winning writer Michael Reeves has developed an ambitious new film project, but he (and everyone else involved) needs your help if the feature is ever going to see the light of day. The project is called Blood Kiss, a ‘Vamp Noir” film (an entirely new genre) that revolves around detective Joe Belicek, who must solve the murder of a vampire before a deranged killer murders them all.

Inspired by Film Noir, Blood Kiss is set in 1940′s Hollywood, and already has some fantastic names attached to it. Blood Kiss will feature the acting debut of the incredible Neil Gaiman, who had some fantastic words to say about the film’s script:

“Michael sent me the script. I told him, “it’s a terrific script.” and he said, “I want you to act in it.” I replied “There’s nobody else I would act for.”

Blood Kiss will also star writer/director/actor Amber Benson, who is no stranger to vampire media after spending three years as Tara Maclay on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Some of the cool rewards up for grabs!

It’s easy to see that Blood Kiss is going to be phenomenal, so let’s help the project get made! The Blood Kiss Kickstarter launched earlier today, and in just a few hours has raked in over $7000. There are some some amazing rewards up for grabs for anyone that contributes to the film, including digital downloads, posters, Blu Rays, premiere tickets, and much, much, more. If Blood Kiss sounds like your cup of tea, head to Kickstarter and pledge, pledge, pledge!

Watch the project’s Kickstarter video below, and don’t forget to check out Blood Kiss on Twitter and Facebook! We’ll be sure to keep you updated on this one as the campaign continues, and as we learn more about it!
