Netflix product chief Greg Peters, who also became the streaming service's chief operating officer in 2020, says the company is poised to help lead the charge for further eroding theatrical windows preceding streaming debuts for content. Speaking with Deadline , Peters predicted, "It's what consumers want. It's hard to buck that trend for too long and I think that's eventually where things go." In December when competitor Warner Bros. announced it intended to put its entire theatrical line-up onto streaming services such as HBO Max, production companies, directors, and actors were predictably not pleased . It was also not exactly a shock to learn that Warner was reportedly trying to offset that surprising move by offering bonuses to stars impacted by the move to streaming-only releases-- one report had Denzel Washington receiving $20 million plus a backend fee , for example. In an interview, veteran director Christopher Nolan summed his feelings up bluntly, … [Read more...] about Netflix Exec Thinks Exclusive Theatrical Release Windows Will Go Away

Tom Philips: Skyfaring: A Journey with a Pilot I'm now one of those people converted by Chris Donlan into recommending Skyfaring to anyone. Written by veteran British Airways pilot Mark Vanhoenacker, this book offers an experienced, inquisitive and infectiously romantic view of the wonders of flight - and it's one I frequently find myself dipping back into while stuck at home and on the ground. A couple of … [Read more...] about World Book Day 2021: Eurogamer’s reading recommendations

Image 1 of 6 Image 2 of 6 Image 3 of 6 Image 4 of 6 Image 5 of 6 Image 6 of 6 The Azza Overdrive is either one of the coolest cases I've ever laid eyes on or it's an absolute atrocity that shouldn't exist. I feel it may be both. I'd love to use it for the basis of some hard-tube monster, but at the same time, it looks massive and I absolutely don't have room for such a chonky bad boy on my desk. At least not and have space for a gaming monitor at the same time. Maybe I'm just meant to stare at it, and screw my monitor to the wall behind it, out of the way, so as not to distract from how awesome it is. If it isn't obvious from the picture, this is an open case like a test bench but with extra steps. The power supply goes at the bottom of the unit, with the E-ATX motherboard tray living above it. There's space for a reservoir pump in the middle for those custom water-cooled builds as well. There's room for two 360mm radiators on either side of the main … [Read more...] about This monster PC case could be the most extra chassis ever

Why, it only feels like two weeks ago that Valheim blew past three million sales . But it actually only took 12 days for the wildly popular survival sandbox to add another two million Vikings to its roster, with the developer today announcing that Valheim has passed the five million player mark. Valheim took us by surprise when it dropped at the start of this year, but has quickly become the biggest thing on Steam. Iron Gate now claims that those millions of players have accumulated over 15,000 years of in-game playtime, while Valheim has been viewed for over 35 million hours on Twitch. While it was hard to tell why this survival game was gaining popularity where so many others failed, our Fraser reckoned much of its success comes from rejecting the chores that have come to define the genre . Both he and Chris L agree that it's extremely clever in trimming away the fat from its survival systems, and is shockingly pretty for a game that only takes up 1GB of disk space. … [Read more...] about Valheim sails past five million sales

"There’s a lot of fighting in the film," Mortal Kombat movie director Simon McQuoid promises. And you would certainly hope he's right – this, after all, is an adaptation of one of the most famous fighting video game series of all time. Unlike the last Mortal Kombat movie, though, this one promises bloody fatalities aplenty. "Some fights are big, some are small, but my main goal was to make the fights mean something," McQuoid tells Total Film . "I wanted the fights to look and feel like they didn’t just sort of pop out of the story and then come back in. "I didn’t want anything generic. I didn’t want anything that you could see in any action movie. The stunt team on this were just amazing, and they designed some pretty fucking incredible things.” Above you can see an exclusive image from the new Mortal Kombat movie. It features Chin Han (Ghost in the Shell, Marco Polo, The Dark Knight) as the villain Shang Tsung, who was famously played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa in the 1995 … [Read more...] about Mortal Kombat movie: Shang Tsung powers up in this exclusive new image
