    James Cameron’s Avatar 2 release date is coming soon in theaters – followed by Avatar 3 & 4!

    James Cameron’s Avatar 2 release date is coming soon in theaters – followed by an Avatar 3 & 4! Five years ago, James Cameron’s Avatar had broken box office records from the previous holder, Titanic (which is another one of his work!) for being the highest grossing movie of all time. Therefore, it came as no surprise that a sequel would follow suit in the coming years – not just one but three sequels. Avatar 2 is a much anticipated sequel to the ‘Avatar’ film in 2009. All three sequels are in pre-production and are preparing to shoot them all with Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, who will reprise their roles as lovers and freedom fighters named Jake Sully and Neytiri. According to Screen Rant, the next few chapters of James Cameron’s Avatar sci-fi saga are going to be barreling their way to the big screen beginning December 2016 with the assurance that the fantastical nature of Avatar 2, Avatar 3 and Avatar 4 wouldn’t prevent Cameron from including the real talk from the lenses of the camera. Avatar 2 plot has not been confirmed nor released so far but there’s the fact that the film is digging more about the Oceans of Pandora using underwater filming techniques. According to sources, filming will begin in 2015 that will take place in the country of New Zealand and at Manhattan Beach in California. If the Avatar sequels would be successful compared to the 1st film, there is a big chance that James Cameron will dominate cinemas within the next few coming years. Avatar 2's release date is set on December 2016 followed by Avatar 3 on 2017 and Avatar 4 on 2018.

    Prometheus 2 News and Release Date: Production in Progress, Coming Soon in Cinemas!

    Prometheus 2 News and Release Date: Production in Progress, Coming Soon in Cinemas! Another box-office hit movie is up for the challenge of sequels. The sci-fi movie Prometheus had a worldwide gross of $400 million that made it easy for a Prometheus sequel. What happens after the still-functioning android David (Michael Fassbender) heads out to the home world of humanity’s architects-turned-would-be destroyers known as the Engineers? According to reports, Ridley Scott has always been ready to direct the Prometheus sequel even with the changes that has been going on such as last year when Lindelof was replaced by another screenwriter, Jake Paglen. Just recently, 20th Century Fox had announced that March 4th of 2016 would be the release date of an unnamed Scott-directed movie that later on was presumed to be the sequel for Prometheus. Rumors also add up that Prometheus 2 would feature Paradise – the name of the Engineer’s planet. A Prometheus 2 plot isn’t yet confirmed since it’s too soon but rest assured that the movie would possibly be more cohesive and better than its predecessor. Scott reveals later on, more about the upcoming sequel while he was working on other projects such as The Martian with actor Matt Damon, saying, “Right now, as we speak, it’s being written, I’ve had 15 drafts evolving. I definitely want to do that again because I really enjoyed doing ‘Prometheus’... You’ll probably have to go with [Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth Shaw] and [Michael Fassbender’s android David] – without his head. Find out how he gets his head back on!” Prometheus 2 film will be released soon and probably on March 4, 2016.

    The Amazing Spider-Man 3: Pushed for release in 2018, Is Gwen Stacy coming back?

    The Amazing Spider-Man 3: Pushed for release in 2018, Is Gwen Stacy coming back? The success of the new reboot of the Spiderman franchise “The Amazing Spider-man” has made it possible to release sequels such as the recent one that caused anticipation from fans – but that anticipation might be put aside as it was then said that The Amazing Spider-man 3 wouldn't be released soon - that is, we are looking at a 2018 release. Basically, fans are to wait 4 years. In a 4 year wait, we still have no news on what could the possibilities be in this movie since there were reports that The Amazing Spider-man 3 villains would be featured as a group of six spider-man enemies, called The Sinister Six. The sinister 6 would consist of the following villains: Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio and Sandman while Venom is a symbiote that needs a host to survive (The creature has attached to Peter Parker, Eddie Brock, Flash Thompson and Harry Osborne and has been most venomous to Eddie Brock’s body). There’s no confirmation yet on which Venom Avatar will be used in the film. One thing is for sure though, Andrew Garfield will be reprising his role as Peter Parker a.k.a Spiderman. Rumors have also sparked that Peter Parker’s love interest Gwen Stacy played by Emma Stone would come back. She explained in an interview with Screen Rant the possibilities of a different Amazing Spider-man 3 plot saying, “I don’t know… is it? There could be, I don’t know, there’s a whole plotline that can happen that may bring her back.” Like Stone said, there are way too many possibilities for the future film and maybe some that we would be surprised to see like, The Amazing Spider-man 3’s Mary Jane Watson, would it still be Shailene Woodley? Stay tuned for more updates! The Amazing Spider-man 3 will be released in theaters in 2018.

    Windows 9 Release Date Unlikely as Microsoft Jumps to Windows 10

    Windows 9 Release Date Unlikely as Microsoft Jumps to Windows 10 It looks like we won’t be having a Windows 9 anytime soon as Microsoft recently unveiled its Windows 10 in a launching at San Francisco. According to the popular computer provider, the new operating system will be featuring brand new features that will be a major improvement from the previous OS released which were Windows 8 and 8.1 Interestingly, according to a report by Forbes, the reason why Microsoft skipped the Windows 9 namesake is that “By skipping a number, Microsoft might be repeating a formula they used in their successful transition from panned Windows Vista to Windows 7 which is to create enough cognitive dissonance so that users will forget how bad the previous operating system was." Though the desktop version was the only one demonstrated by far, there will be a reveal in due time for the mobile gadget and notebook version. Interestingly, Windows 10 will be bringing back the well-loved Start menu which was lacking from the previous OS. Two notable additional features in the assumed Windows 9 OS will enable users to customize their desktops where it allows users to resize new applications and give them the freedom to drag them around just like in Win32 and also enable multi-tasking through a quadrant. Those who are using the 2-in-1 computers will also be happy with the promised continuum feature where users can switch from PC to tablet mode and vice versa. The new assumed Windows 9, or rather Windows 10, is targeted to be officially launched midway next year. Though there will be neither Windows 9 release date nor a price range, we are sure that the upcoming Windows 10 will be an improvement and will hopefully be well-received by Windows users.

    MacBook Air 2014 News and Updates: Reports Say Delayed Due to Unavailability of Core M Processor from Intel but Rumors Speculate an October 16 Release

    MacBook Air 2014 News and Updates: Reports Say Delayed Due to Unavailability of Core M Processor from Intel but Rumors Speculate an October 16 Release Speculations are milling around that the MacBook Air 2014 will be released this Thursday, October 16, 2014. This Apple event will somehow coincide with the release of iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 3 and the OS X Yosemite, according to reports by Christian Post. The new MacBook, also called MacBook Air Retina, will highlight a 12-inch Retina display. It will come in gold, silver and space grey colors. Because the MacBook Air 2014 is so slim, Apple had to switch to a reversible USB type C connector, this according to a 16-year old blogger, who claimed to have a reliable source from inside Apple. The laptop is said to be 9mm thin and will use Intel’s new core M processor. And because it so thin, this processor will not be needing any fans inside. The Core M chips will be Apple’s basis for the announcement of MacBook Air 2014 as the chips were supposed to be released early 2014 but was later on delayed until December of this year. Intel, on the other hand, released a statement that the “broader OEM” will be available by early next year. With that said, MacBook Air 2014 could well then be released early 2015. Anyhow, we will keep you posted on any other MacBook Air 2014 updates and news we can seek.

Aside from Hunger Games news, we also have new updates on the actors behind the film such as Jennifer Lawrence who had spoken about the leaked photos of her online to Vanity Fair saying, “Just because I’m a public figure, just because I’m an actress, does not mean that I asked for this. It does not mean that it comes with a territory. It’s my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world.” Lawrence shares more about her feelings and the legal ramifications of the said scandal with the editor Sam Kashner in the magazine’s new issue. Also, co-star Liam Hemsworth is working on a new movie titled “By Way of Helena” in which he plays the character David along with another co-star, Woody Harrelson, who coincidentally plays Haymitch Abernathy in the Hunger Games.

But set that aside, who are the Fifty Shades of Grey cast anyways? This is absolutely for the fans out there. Jamie Dornan is playing the rich Christian Grey in which he was cast out of the blue since Charlie Hunnam dropped out due to his recent work. Dornan is a 32-year old married model/actor and a father. In a recent interview of Dornan in a new issue of British Vogue, he admitted how he is ‘sick’ of being naked which is one of the key parts of the film saying “If it’s a nightmare, we’ll move to outer Mongolia or something, live in a yurt… whatever happens, happens.” The model also dropped hints of the upcoming movie to GQ Magazine saying “… it has to be watchable, it can’t be hardcore. I wouldn’t have signed up for this if it was.” Well, moving on to Anastasia Steele, Mr. Grey’s love interest is to be portrayed by Dakota Johnson. Johnson is the daughter of the Golden Globe-winning actor Don Johnson and Academy Award-nominated actress Melanie Griffith. Basically, she’s a third generation Hollywood actress who started modeling at the age of 12. The Fifty Shades of Grey star just recently celebrated her 25th birthday and in another Fifty Shades of Grey news circulating around, Melanie Griffith says she will support her daughter for being a part of this movie despite Don Johnson’s negative reaction about his daughter being a part of the film.

  • Mortal Kombat X
    Mortal Kombat X News and Release Date: Quan Chi Returns to Create Chaos, Plus Release Date slated on April 14, 2015

    Mortal Kombat X News and Release Date: Quan Chi Returns to Create Chaos, Plus Release Date slated on April 14, 2015 An image has been tweeted by Ed Boon, the series creator, teasing fans about some additional characters in the Mortal Kombat X launch. "Looks like one of the boots that were made for walkin' was Quan Chi's. #MKX," according to the tweet. Sub Zero, Scorpion, Kano and Raiden has been confirmed to return in the roster of returning characters. Quan Chi, is an addition to the roster. The Dark sorcerer’s return was established last week. It would also seem that there are additional five more characters as implicated by Boon’s tweet with question marks. Quan Chi had been the creature of Netherrealm and is speculated that the villain will play a major part in Mortal Kombat X gameplay. He made his debut in ‘Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm’ which is an animated TV show. According to BreatheCast, Quan Chi will have three slight power variations. Quan Chi’s power seems to be great as he can boost his own power by using spells and can damage opponents. He can also summon a giant bat from Netherrealm to create catastrophe. But his formidable power comes by becoming a warlock that can open “interdimensional dark portals". Because Quan Chi’s powers can be used to open dark portals, it has been said that this is one of one of the most horrific takes the developers did for the upcoming Mortal Kombat X. With this, fans are in the lookout to using Quan Chi. Published by WB Games and developed by Netherrealm, Mortal Kombat X release date would be on April 14, 2015. This will be available for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

  • Destiny PC
    Destiny PC News and Updates: Release Date Coming Soon?

    Destiny PC News and Updates: Release Date Coming Soon? Bungie’s Destiny PC has sparked interest among gamers alike. Many fans are awaiting the intended Destiny PC release date. But, according to reports from BreatheCast, the game is still on its planning stage and there are several reasons Activision CEO Erik Hirshberg mentioned as to why there is a delay. He said that Destiny on a PC is a good idea: "It is [a good fit], and it's something we're talking about and looking at very carefully, and obviously it makes a lot of sense with the genre and the type of game it is," "You know, developing on PC is a different animal than developing for consoles and so we just want to make sure that we're putting one foot in front of the other and getting it right, and that it's of the highest possible quality. But obviously I see the same things about the natural fit," Hirhsberg added. The making of Destiny PC could be somehow complicated as the company is already dealing with "complexities in developing for so many platforms." People from Bungie also commented that the PC version is “not as easy as it looks”. Lars Bakken, the lead designer of Bungie, in an interview with Eurogamer states that: "I wish it was that simple. It's pretty complicated. That doesn't mean that it can't happen in the future, it just means it won't happen right now," Bakken explained further: "We're doing it all internally ourselves. That's a huge endeavor. So when I'm playtesting and I'm trying to play PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PS3, that's a lot of work. Adding another thing on there is just crazy. It's crazy to think of right now," It would seem that Destiny PC release date is still far from the horizon. But, stay put and keep on dropping by as we are also gearing for a response from Bungie very soon.
