Rumors of a BioShock movie adaptation are almost as old as the franchise itself. Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinksi was even attached to the film for a time before dropping out of the project in 2009, leaving the rights to a movie version of Take-Two’s famous dystopian franchise to move from Universal to Sony in 2014. Sadly, it seems unlikely that the BioShock movie will ever be able to make it past pre-production....
This is a spoiler-free review based on the first four episodes of The Boys. Traditional superhero lore primarily revolves around individuals who inadvertently (and sometimes reluctantly) step into their savior destinies. Typically, these superheroes are cognizant of the public’s reverence for their abilities, yet they often choose to either live on the fringes of or blend seamlessly into society. The few who publicly embrace their fame manage to maintain their moral compass despite ever-present temptation and opportunities to make negative choices....

UK crime drama The Missing ran for two seasons in 2014 and 2016 on BBC One, where it was a hit by anybody’s standards.

With the British thriller now finding new fans internationally on Netflix, many are asking why season three of The Missing was never made....

Tales of Berseria takes the usually upbeat RPG franchise down a dark path that pays off thanks to a compelling story, interesting characters, and an updated combat system.
