Netflix’s The Sandman: Full Cast Revealed for the DC Series

With production well underway on the first season of The Sandman, Netflix has finally revealed the main cast of the DC adaptation. Tom Sturridge (Velvet Buzzsaw) stars in the series as Dream (aka Morpheus), ruler of the ethereal realm known as The Dreaming. The cast also includes two Game of Thrones veterans, with Gwendoline Christie playing Lucifer Morningstar and Charles Dance playing occultist Roderick Burgess. Narcos star Boyd Holbrook will play The Corinthian, a rogue nightmare-turned-serial killer created by Morpheus. Check out the slideshow gallery below for a look at all the cast members revealed so far and how they compare to their comic book counterparts: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=netflixs-the-sandman-every-actor-and-character-confirmed&captions=true"] We assume more casting announcements will follow in the coming weeks, as Netflix has yet to reveal other major roles like Dream's sister Death. The streamer also has yet to reveal a release date for the 10-episode first season. The Sandman is an adaptation of the DC horror/fantasy comic created by Neil Gaiman, Mike Dringenberg and Sam Keith. Gaiman is executive producing the series along with Allan Heinberg and David Goyer. Heinberg is also serving as showrunner. Prior to Netflix greenlighting the series, The Sandman spent years in development hell, including a phase where Joseph Gordon-Levitt was attached to produce and star in a movie adaptation. “For the last thirty-three years, the Sandman characters have breathed and walked around and talked in my head," said Gaiman in a statement. "I'm unbelievably happy that now, finally, they get to step out of my head and into reality. I can't wait until the people out there get to see what we've been seeing as Dream and the rest of them take flesh, and the flesh belongs to some of the finest actors out there. This is astonishing, and I'm so grateful to the actors and to all of The Sandman collaborators — Netflix, Warner Bros., DC, to Allan Heinberg and David Goyer, and the legions of crafters and geniuses on the show — for making the wildest of all my dreams into reality.” According to Gaiman, the Netflix series will make significant changes to the source material, including updating the present-day setting for the 21st Century rather than 1989, when the comic originally debuted. Interestingly, The Sandman will mark the first time the DC Comics incarnation of Lucifer Morningstar has been played by a woman. That character was previously played by Peter Stormare in 2005's Constantine, Tom Ellis in the Lucifer TV series and Michael Sheen in Audible's audio drama adaptation of The Sandman. Though generally portrayed as male in the comics, The Sandman's Lucifer is an androgynous figure whom Gaiman confirmed was modeled closely on a young David Bowie. Unfortunately, despite the Lucifer series moving from Fox to Netflix, Christie's casting would seem to eliminate any possibility of the two shows coexisting in the same universe.

Magic: The Gathering: 1993 Signed Black Lotus Sells For Over $500,000

The world's most expensive Magic: The Gathering card, Black Lotus has broken its own auction record, selling for more than $500,000. As reported by Polygon, a 1993 'Black Lotus' with a case signed by the card's illustrator Christopher Rush has sold for $511,100.00 on eBay. This is triple the price of a Black Lotus which sold for $166,000 in 2019. You can see the original listing here, which offers more details about the groundbreaking auction. The Black Lotus is one of the 'Power Nine', a set of highly-coveted Magic: The Gathering cards that are restricted or banned in competitive play, due to their incredible in-game potential. [caption id="attachment_2466590" align="alignnone" width="705"]

The Black Lotus card in question. Source: PWCC[/caption] This particular card is from the Alpha, or Limited Edition Alpha set of cards, which is the first print run of the first core set of Magic: The Gathering cards, which debuted in 1993. So it's over two decades old, signed by the artist, extremely rare and in top condition according to PWCC Auctions, who call it "the single finest Alpha Black Lotus we've had the pleasure of brokering." "The fragile black periphery is free of common chipping or wear with four untouched corners and undeniably GEM MINT card stock," the listing reads. "The card is brilliantly aligned from all sides with some of the cleanest surfaces we’ve seen. Free of indentations or imperfections with elegant color and precise registration." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/magic-legends-official-deckbuilding-101-trailer"] In other Magic: The Gathering news, it was recently revealed that the game will receive a new comics run in April 2021, and we recently showed off a fresh look at upcoming RPG Magic: Legends and how it blends Diablo into the CCG mix [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN.

Disney Plus Star Coming to the UK on February 23: Launch Line-Up Revealed

Disney Plus has unveiled the official launch line-up for its new Star service, coming to the UK on February 23. The streaming giant shared its "biggest content drop ever" on Thursday, as the company tweeted an image showcasing the huge catalogue of TV shows and movies that will be available on Star when it launches in the UK next month. The new entertainment section will appear alongside the existing tiles for Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and Nat Geo in its own branded slot on the Disney+ app.

Keanu Reeves Cyberpunk 2077 Sex Mod Removed, CDPR Clarifies Stance on Modding Models of Real People

A Cyberpunk 2077 mod that allowed players to swap models and have sex with characters based on real-world likenesses such as Keanu Reeves has been removed. The mod let players swap characters into explicit sex scenes who usually shouldn't be there, such as Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand and the game's antagonist, Adam Smasher. In a statement issued to Eurogamer, CD Projekt Red said that they broadly permit modders to "tweak the game at will and have fun" when it comes to the characters the studio has created for the game, but for the characters based on real people, the studio is taking a different stance. "When it comes to models of real people whom we've asked to participate in the game, we kindly ask you to refrain from using them in any situation that might be found offensive if you don't have their explicit permission." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/07/cyberpunk-2077-review"] Permission will have to be sought from the likeness (and other "concerned parties") before modders and players create or use these explicit mods, or else they will be taken down. CD Projekt Red clarified further, telling Eurogamer "our most important rule regarding user-generated content, game mods, in particular, is that it can't be harmful towards others. In the case of model swaps, especially those that involve explicit situations, it can be perceived as such by the people who lent us their appearance for the purpose of creating characters in Cyberpunk 2077." The model swap mod is no longer available and, clearly, any future iterations of such mods will be promptly removed by the studio. Just yesterday, CD Projekt Red began releasing official modding tools for the community to tinker with. In other Cyberpunk news, the game today received a hotfix to tackle a new game-breaking bug, and the game reportedly saw the biggest digital game launch of all time, despite huge controversy around its release.

Olija Review

Like all great short stories, Olija manages to do more with less. Its characters are roughly drawn and very pixelated, but they build strong bonds that resonate and create real stakes. The caves, ruins, and dark corners of the world exude an ominous, foreboding mood that permeates every turn. And the action, a mix of quick-moving combat and light puzzle-platforming, steadily and consistently finds new ways to keep you on your toes. Olija takes exactly as much time as it needs to tell its story and show you everything in its bag of tricks.

Olija follows Faraday, a shipwrecked lord trapped on a hostile chain of islands called Terraphage. Facing all sorts of magic, dark oozing blobs, and people who want him dead, the lost lord seems doomed, but he quickly finds a weapon to turn his fortune: a legendary magic harpoon that he can throw and either teleport to its location or summon back to him. To get home and, optionally, save his crew, Faraday explores the islands of Terraphage, defeats a hidden evil, saves a queen--you know, hero stuff.

Though it boils down to a clichéd hero's quest at the most essential level, Olija teases a lot of narrative out of a small amount of exposition. Faraday has a small retinue of recurring companions and acquaintances he meets on his journey, including a ferryman who brings him from island to island and shipwrecked sailors of Oaktide, a floating shantytown. While Faraday is silent, his companions speak to him, and you can sense the bond that forms between them. Their spoken tone softens and they grow more familiar as Faraday integrates into their lives. Those connections anchor Faraday's journey with a human connection that resonates beyond the plot, and gives you a reason to see things through.

Control: Ultimate Edition’s Lack of Save Transfers and PS Plus Announcement Has Upset Fans

Control: Ultimate Edition's lack of next-gen save transfers and recent addition to the PS Plus line-up has frustrated players who bought the game early to get a later upgrade. Last year, Control's publisher caused controversy by announcing that only Control: Ultimate Edition, a newly-released version of the game, would receive a free upgrade from current to next-gen platforms. With the current-gen version of the Ultimate Edition released last year (and the next-gen version subsequently delayed into 2021), many seemingly paid for the game with a view to waiting to upgrade and play the next-gen version later. Compounding the problem, Ultimate Edition for PS4 was recently discounted on the PS Store, leading to more players buying the game in order to secure a next-gen upgrade. However, when the PS5 Ultimate Edition was announced for a February 2 release, it was revealed as a day-and-date release for PS Plus, offering a free download in return for the monthly subscription. The move has left many players who paid in advance for the next-gen version upset at the surprise announcement of a far cheaper method of purchase.

PS4 Ultimate Edition is the only way to get a free PS5 upgrade. PS4 Ultimate Edition is put on sale. Less than 2 weeks later PS4 Ultimate Edition is free on PS Plus and no refunds are being issued. Shocking behaviour from Playstation and Remedy. @PlayStationUK @pushsquare @IGNUK
— Matthew Carter (@bigcheese1986) January 28, 2021

To add to the problems, Remedy subsequently announced that save files from the last-gen versions of Control could not be carried over to the next-gen Ultimate Edition, meaning those who started the game on their old consoles will need to restart entirely on their PS5 or Xbox Series console. Remedy communications director explained that, "The version of our engine in the next-gen Control is way different to the version used in the previous gen Control. Long story short, lot of changes in things like how we handle data etc." In a separate tweet, he added that save file transfer would not be added in a future patch. The moves have left some fans frustrated by the lack of communication, and wishing they'd known ahead of time that they would need to play from the start of the game on next-gen, and could have even had that version for free as PS Plus subscribers. Some have requested refunds for their earlier purchase.

@AskPS_UK hey guys I originally bought control the original edition and then platinumed it then the developers stated I would have to buy the ultimate edition for the PS5 upgrade which I did now it’s being made free and available for ps plus, will I get a refund for my purchase?
— Michael Boag (BoAgeYBoY) (@BoAgEyBoY) January 28, 2021

Many have pointed out that when 'shark-PG' Maneater was added to PS Plus, subscribers who had recently bought the game were automatically refunded.

@AskPlayStation so i bought Control Ultimate edition less than a week ago for $20 on the psn store. I havnt even played it yet. Was waiting on the ps5 upgrade. Dont i deserve a refund just like everyone got with maneater being ps+ game
— The Jedi ♪ (@jedtgill) January 27, 2021

We've contacted Control publisher 505 Games for comment. Control was IGN's 2019 Game of the Year, and our Control review said it "creates a captivating, oddball world that never loses the thread of its supernatural tale." The Ultimate Edition of the game adds a 30 FPS graphics mode with ray-tracing, and a 60 FPS performance mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Tesla’s New Cars Can Run The Witcher 3 on Their 10-Teraflop Gaming Rigs

Tesla has unveiled refreshed versions of its Model X and Model S cars, revealing that both are equipped with gaming hardware supporting “up to 10 teraflops of processing power”. This theoretically puts a car within the ballpark of a new generation console. The Tesla models, priced in excess of $80,000 and shipping in March, are fitted with hardware to power Tesla Arcade, an in-car gaming system that is already available in current Tesla models. The difference is that previous models are only able to run less demanding games such as Cuphead and Cat Quest, while the promotional materials for the new Tesla models show The Witcher 3 displayed on the 17” central console. This suggests a significant step up for the car’s gaming potential. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/05/26/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-blood-and-wine-review"] Specifics on how powerful the car’s gaming rig is isn’t easy to tell, as the quoted "up to 10 teraflops of processing power" can’t be directly translated to the power of a PS5, which is capable of 10.28 teraflops. The accompanying components must also be taken into account, and Tesla has offered no details on the full specs of the hardware. It’s unclear if Nvidia or AMD GPUs are being used, or if it all comes from Tesla’s own system-on-a-chip. And while The Witcher 3 is an impressive game by… err… car standards, it’s very much a last-gen experience now. Theoretically, though, the system in the new Teslas is capable of strong gaming performance. [caption id="attachment_2466529" align="alignnone" width="1280"]

The Witcher 3 on the new Model S's Tesla Arcade.[/caption] Scant details about the gaming system can be found on both the Model X and Model S pages on the Tesla website, under the Interior Feature Details section. Tesla Arcade will support wireless controllers for gaming from any seat, played through two entertainment displays are located in the center console and between the front seats for rear passengers. Presumably games can’t be played on the main 2200x1300 resolution center screen while driving, for obvious reasons.

Want to play The Witcher game on your Tesla? (you can already watch the show on Tesla Netflix theater)
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 22, 2020

Tesla owner Elon Musk previously teased the idea of playing The Witcher 3 in a Tesla on Twitter, with thousands voting in his poll to say they’d like to do such an absurd thing. Just days later, we got this news. While unconfirmed, the use of The Witcher 3 in the official marketing images suggests that Witcher developer CD Projekt is bringing the game to Tesla Arcade. To play games, including The Witcher 3, in your car without spending $80,000+, might we suggest the more reasonably priced Nintendo Switch? It’s even getting a new Red and Blue Mario-themed version, which will go nicely with any car sporting red or blue paintwork.

The Division 2 Gets a Next-Gen Upgrade Next Week

The Divison 2 will receive an update next week, bringing 4K resolution and 60 frames per second support for next-gen consoles. The news was revealed in a tweet from user JohanLnh, a Ubisoft Community Developer for The Division 2. Johan was replying to a fan asking about the potential of a forthcoming 'State of the Game', which is where The Division 2's developers take part in a livestream to provide fans with updates about the game. "No State of the Game tomorrow," the tweet reads. "TU12.1 releases on Feb 2nd with the Resident Evil Apparel Event, a rebalance of the Optimization Station cost as well as 4K 60 FPS support for next-gen consoles." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/03/23/the-division-2-review"] So while there won't be a State of the Game this week, there is a title update coming to The Division 2 on February 2, which will bring support for 4K resolution and 60 FPS on next-gen consoles, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. The update will also bring with it some special Resident Evil apparel items, including weapon skins, arm patches and outfits. This is part of a collaborative promotion that will run from February 2 to February 15. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN. Follow him on Twitter.

Resident Evil Village Actress Jeanette Maus Dies, Aged 39

Resident Evil Village voice actress Jeanette Maus has died at the age of 39 following an eight-month battle with colon cancer. Maus, who played several characters in Capcom's upcoming Resident Evil game, including one of the witch sisters that makes up the daughters of the House of Dimitrescu, also suffered from Crohn's disease and had contracted COVID-19 last year — details which were outlined by her fiancé, Dusty Warren, in a GoFundMe campaign that was set up to help cover her medical expenses at the time. Per Deadline, Warren confirmed her passing in a statement on Facebook. "It is with a shattered-yet grateful-heart that I inform you that Jeanette Maus passed away late last night due to complications of cancer," he reportedly wrote. "I'm really sad, but I'm super proud of her. She fought so hard, with tremendous grace and optimism, inspiring myself and I'm sure many of you." Capcom, the developer and publisher of the best-selling video game franchise, paid its condolences on Twitter. "We here at Capcom R&D 1 are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Jeanette Maus, the talented actress who helped bring several different characters, including our witches to the world in Resident Evil Village. Our hearts go out to her family and loved ones." In an Instagram post after her passing, the account for drama school John Rosenfeld Studios said Maus had "been part of the JRS family for almost a decade and became part of the studio's DNA as a student, teacher, coach and friend. Jeanette was truly an artist, and felt truly grateful to live as an artist. She had an indomitable spirit and was hungry to be the best person, the best teacher, the best friend and the best actor she could be. "The world lost a force of nature and we will be feeling that for a long time. We are lucky to have known her, and she has touched all of us that knew her. The enormous pain I feel right now is soothed by the fact that I get to witness how much you saw her and appreciated her. Because it would have been a shame if you had missed it. We will make sure that we honor her and we will keep her in our hearts." As both an actress and a producer, Maus' on-screen credits included Charm City Kings and My Effortless Brilliance, together with Lynn Shelton's Your Sister's Sister. She will appear as one of the voice talents behind the cast of characters in Resident Evil Village, the upcoming sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. All of us at IGN offer our condolences to Maus' family and friends. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Adele Ankers is a Freelance Entertainment Journalist. You can reach her on Twitter.
