Jurassic World’s Colin Trevorrow to Direct Atlantis Thriller for Universal Pictures

Jurassic World: Dominion director Colin Trevorrow is re-teaming with Universal Pictures for a new film centered around the mythical city of Atlantis. Deadline reports that Trevorrow lined up the sci-fi thriller Atlantis as his next project ahead of restarting production on the final Jurassic World film. The film is said to be based on a plot about the legend of the lost city that Trevorrow and his Metronome Film Co. will produce. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/06/23/jurassic-world-3-where-does-the-franchise-go-from-here"] The story, conceived by Trevorrow and Bridge of Spies scripter Matt Charman, will be written by Dante Harper, who also penned the screenplay for Alien: Covenant. The narrative will apparently take a different approach to previous incarnations of the mythical city's underwater kingdom. Instead of submerging into these stories, it is understood that Trevorrow's Atlantis is going to be set on "a lost continent in the Indian Ocean between Africa, India and Oceania," which is described as "a multicultural civilization with its own advanced technology." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=jurassic-world-fallen-kingdom-images&captions=true"] Trevorrow reportedly hatched the concept for Atlantis in late 2018, but he kept the project beneath the surface to allow the creative team to fully develop the world before starting work on the scripting process. Before diving into that project, Trevorrow is set to resume production on Jurassic World: Dominion on July 6 at London's Pinewood Studios after filming halted back in March due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

This Gaming Chair Will Massage You as You Play

Last year Acer introduced us to the ultimate gamer’s dream, a gaming chair that massages you as you play. The only problem with that magnificent gaming chair was it was tied to a $14,000 battle station complete with three monitors called the Predator Thronos Air. Well if you just wanted the chair, you’re in luck. Acer has spun off its massaging gaming chair into a product of its own called the Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM. This gaming chair is designed to simulate the feel of a hand massage with two sets of rollers that can reach across your whole back. There are three pre-programmed massage modes designed to target your neck and shoulders, lumbar, or energize you for an intense match. Acer Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM Beyond that gamers can customize the chair’s massage settings as users can adjust the rollers to six different shoulder positions to meet their specific height and width. And if you just have one sore spot, users can program the spot-massage mode to focus on a single area. And if you want to get extra comfortable, users can also lie back in the Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM at a 145-degree angle. To help accommodate all of this flexibility, the Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM features a wide mesh back paired with a large seat that should accommodate most gamers. Acer Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM One extra feature of this gaming chair is it has a pair of Bluetooth speakers built into the headrest. It only produces stereo sound of course, but that’s enough to deliver dynamic sound effects without needing to don a gaming headset. Acer has yet to announce pricing or a release date for the Predator Gaming Chair x OSIM. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Kevin Lee is IGN's Hardware and Roundups Editor.

Cyberpunk 2077 Getting a Comic Book Series Tie-In Before Launch

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a comic book series that ties in to the game before it launches later this year. Dark Horse Comics recently created a listing for the comic series and it's called Cyberpunk 2077: Trauma Team. The series will be about an assistant emergency medical technician on a failed rescue mission, presumably in Night City, the game's main setting. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=7-cyberpunk-games-to-play-while-youre-waiting-for-cyberpunk-2077&captions=true"] "Nadia, an assistant EMT for a privately-owned business known as Trauma Team International, is the sole survivor of a failed rescue mission turned shootout," the listing reads. "After she agrees to continue work for an upcoming extraction mission, Nadia and her new team find themselves in an even more dangerous and life-threatening situation." This is the listing for the series' first issue. It's unknown at this time how many issues will be in this series. The team behind the comic is writer Cullen Bunn, who wrote Dark Horse's Harrow County and Marvel's Uncanny X-Men in 2016, and illustrator Miguel Valderrama, who illustrated Dark Horse's Giants. This "new series based on the highly anticipated game" will be released on September 9 later this year with a price tag of $3.99 for issue one, which will be 32 pages long. The September 9 release date makes sense when you consider that Cyberpunk 2077 was set to be released on September 17 after a delay from its original April release date. The game was recently delayed once more to its new date of November 19. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/28/cyberpunk-2077-53-gameplay-details"] While Dark Horse has a listing up for the comic, it does not appear to be available for pre-order or purchase just yet. Read about CD Projekt Red's plans for a "more robust" next-gen upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077 while waiting for this tie-in comic book to be released. Check out this neat easter egg hidden on the recently-released Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox controller, too.

Chicken Run 2 Confirmed by Netflix, 20 Years After the Original

Netflix has confirmed that a Chicken Run sequel will be heading to its streaming service, with production expected to begin next year. The streaming giant announced the cracking news in a tweet on Tuesday, exactly two decades after Aardman's original stop-motion adventure swooped onto the big screen. Netflix tweeted: "POULTRY NEWS: Exactly 20 years to the day since the original was released, we can confirm there will be a Chicken Run sequel coming to Netflix!! Produced by Aardman, production is expected to begin next year. Eggsellent." Alongside this announcement, Aardman shared an official synopsis for the film: "Having pulled off a death-defying escape from Tweedy's farm, Ginger has finally found her dream – a peaceful island sanctuary for the whole flock, far from the dangers of the human world. When she and Rocky hatch a little girl called Molly, Ginger's happy ending seems complete. But back on the mainland the whole of chicken-kind faces a new and terrible threat. For Ginger and her team, even if it means putting their own hard-won freedom at risk – this time, they're breaking in!" [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/29/new-to-netflix-for-june-2020"] Sam Fell, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind Aardman Animation's Flushed Away and the Laika-produced ParaNorman, is attached to direct the sequel, with Peter Lord, Carla Shelley and Karey Kirkpatrick returning as executive producers. Steve Pegram and Leyla Hobart will produce the poultry picture, and Nick Park will be involved in a consulting role. Rachel Tunnard is teaming up with original Chicken Run writers Karey Kirkpatrick and John O'Farrell on the script. "Fans around the world have waited patiently for a sequel idea worthy of Chicken Run so we're delighted to announce, on the 20th anniversary, that we've found the perfect story," Aardman's Peter Lord, who co-directed the original claymation comedy with Nick Park, said in a statement. "Netflix feels like the ideal creative partner for this project too: they celebrate the film-maker, which means we can make the film we want to make – the one we really care about – and share it with a global audience." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-netflix-original-movies-and-tv-shows&captions=true"] The original Chicken Run was a huge box office hit, making $225 million worldwide on a modest $45 million production budget. To this date, it remains the highest-grossing stop motion animated film in history. It also earned a place on IGN's list of Top 10 DreamWorks Animation movies, however, DreamWorks will not be involved in the upcoming sequel as the studio ended their partnership with Aardman back in 2007.
