Iconic characters from Dragon Ball including Goku, Vegeta, Bluma, and Beerus are coming to Fortnite along with several Dragon Ball-themed, in-game activities that let you fly and fight as if you were a Super Saiyan.

Starting today, four Dragon Ball characters will be available in Fortnite alongside themed items such as the Power Pole Pickaxe, Kamesennin’s Staff Pickaxe, Nimbus Cloud Glider, Space Pod Glider, Charging Up Emote, Fusion Emote, and Boosting Ki Emote.

The cosmetics are only part of the Dragon Ball content coming to Fortnite. Alongside the characters and items in the Item Shop, there will be a “Power Unleasheashed” tab for all players that will open up Dragon Ball-themed Quests players can complete for rewards.

There will be Seven Quests that can be completed for Dragon Balls. Complete all seven and players can unlock a Shenron Glider along with other back bling, sprays, and other rewards. These quests will be available starting on August 30.

The Fortnite map will also add competitive Dragon Ball modes like the Versus Boards. Players can sign up at the Versus Boards and compete in a PvP-style battle where players will have five minutes to defeat their opponents using weapons like the Kamehameha blast or Nimbus Cloud.

The main map will also add the Kame House where players can travel there and trade their gold bars with Bulma for unique items.

For non-competitive play, Fortnite is adding the Dragon Ball Adventure Island on August 19 which recreates several locations from the series including Kami’s Palace, Goku’s House, and the Room of Spirit & Time. There will be an optional player vs. player Tenkaichi Budokai arena, for the power-hungry.

Lastly, Fortnite will host in-game viewing parties for select Dragon Ball Super episodes from August 16 to September 17.

Fortnite previously announced Dragon Ball would be coming to the game later this month. But going beyond just new character skins, Epic is clearly going all-in on this Dragon Ball collaboration, especially given the anime’s enduring legacy.

While this will be a chance to collect Dragon Ball skins so you can finally pit Goku against Superman, the Dragon Ball Adventure Land is effectively a standalone Dragon Ball video game built within Fortnite.

Regardless of how you feel about Epic’s world-dominating battle royale, adding Goku and Vegeta to the ever-growing toybox is certain.

Dark Horse has another wave of Witcher figures in the works. But whereas the most recent batch was inspired the Netflix series, this new trio of collectibles is based on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at these three new figures, featuring Geralt of Rivia in his Toussaint Tourney armor, his nemesis Imlerith and his mentor Vesemir:

As with the previous Witcher releases, these aren't technically figures so much as PVC statues. Each one measures between 7.75 and 9 inches tall, depending on the pose, and all come with a 1.5-inch display base. The Imlerith figure also includes an alternate head piece, allowing you to display him either masked or unmasked.

The Geralt and Vesemir figures are priced at $59.99 and Imlerith is priced at $69.99. All three figures are slated for release in February 2023. You can preorder all three through the IGN Store right now.

In other Witcher news, Season 3 of the Netflix series began production in April 2022, and four more new actors recently joined the cast.

It's a horror classic now, but Paramount wasn’t exactly sold on Event Horizon when it first released back in 1997.

Looking back on the film more than 25 years later in a new interview with Variety, director Paul W.S. Anderson revealed exactly what the studio thought of Event Horizon when he first showed it.

“Someone actually said to me, ‘We’re the studio that makes Star Trek!’” he recalled. “They weren’t only horrified by my movie; they felt I was besmirching Star Trek somehow, because I was also in space and doing all this terrible stuff.”

The film follows a crew on a rescue mission that sounds like the setup to Forbidden Planet – searching for a vessel that went missing seven years ago, only to reappear inexplicably. But what unfolds is far from a classic sci-fi film.

Packed full of gore and viscera, Event Horizon reveals the bloody, awful truth – the lost ship was an experimental vessel that somehow opened a portal to hell.

“I don’t think we were ever going to test great because the end of the movie is a bit of a downer,” said Anderson. “When you disturb an audience, they’re not going to go, ‘Oh that was an excellent cinema-going experience.’ But we delivered a movie that really stayed with people. I think that over time it’s been appreciated for that.”

Event Horizon debuted in 1997 to mixed reviews and modest returns at the box office. Since then, though, Event Horizon has earned a cult following with fans lauding its daring plot and truly, unexpectedly horrific moments.

Although the film ultimately failed as a summer tentpole, it’s now a beloved sci-fi/horror staple, and Paramount is about to release a new 4k restoration in time for the film’s 25th anniversary. Not a bad deal for a film nobody liked.

“I think Paramount was a little shocked,” said Anderson. “It had all this gross horror and all these disturbing images. I don’t think anyone at the studio had really seen that stuff before because I was shooting in England. Generally, people from the studio watch what the main unit shoots, but all of the horror stuff was being done second unit, directed by me on the weekends. I don’t think anyone at the studio actually watched the second unit material, so they hadn’t seen all the impalings and all the other people getting their eyes out and the intestines. I got a lot of tough notes.”

The Academy has apologized to Sacheen Littlefeather after an incident at the 1973 Oscars, which happened nearly 50 years ago. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 75-year-old Native American actress has been invited to an evening of reflection at the Academy Museum… and has been offered an official apology.

“I was stunned,” she said. “I never thought I’d live to see the day I would be hearing this, experiencing this. When I was at the podium in 1973, I stood there alone.”

The 1973 Oscars saw Littlefeather, then 26 years old, take to the stage in order to decline the award for Best Actor on behalf of Marlon Brando.

What she experienced that night included boos, mock ululations, and offensive gestures off-stage. She was threatened with arrest and even physical assault.

Now, the Academy has decided to set things right.

“[Brando] very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award,” said Littlefeather in an improvised speech that night. “And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry [the audience begins to boo] — excuse me — and on television in movie reruns, and also with recent happenings at Wounded Knee.”

She was given two instructions – the first, from Brando, not to touch the statuette.

The second, from Oscars producer Howard Koch, to not run over 60 seconds in her speech, or she would be arrested by security he ensured were on hand.

And following her 60-second plea for justice, she was booed, jeered, and even threatened by John Wayne, who she claims had to be restrained to stop him from storming the stage to assault her.

“The abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified,” said then-Academy president David Rubin in a letter to Littlefoot in June. “The emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. For too long the courage you showed has been unacknowledged. For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration.”

Following the incident, Littlefeather became renowned as a Native American civil rights activist and co-founded the American Indian Registry for Performing Arts.

“You know, I never stood up onstage in 1973 for any kind of accolades,” she said. “I only stood there because my ancestors were with me, and I spoke the truth.”

“Yes, there’s an apology that’s due,” she added. “As my friends in the Native community said, it’s long overdue. I could have been dead by now. All of my friends — [activists] Dennis Banks, Russell Means, John Trudell, [comedian] Charlie Hill — are gone.”

Still, the activist is enthused by the influx of representation we’ve seen of late – notably the likes of Reservation Dogs and War Pony.

“At long last, somebody is breaking down the doors,” she said. “And I’m so very happy this is happening — even though I don’t swear like they do on Reservation Dogs.”

An Evening with Sacheen Littlefeather will be free to the public via online booking on September 17, 2022.

An unnamed Batgirl actor has hit out at Warner Bros. Discovery. The actor, who worked on the now-canceled Batgirl movie, has some choice words for Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav.

“None of these things matter to an imbecile like [WB Discovery CEO David Zaslav],” they told IndieWire. “His cowardice is breathtaking. I am glad I got to participate, and I wish the best for all those involved — except the suits at Warner Brothers. But they all get replaced sooner than later.”

The anonymous actor also praised star Leslie Grace, who was recently tipped for a new Warner Bros. Discovery project that might even see Batgirl return.

“I am very offended by what happened and feel terrible for the directors and Leslie Grace, who were all wonderful to work with, as well as all of the technicians,” said the unknown actor. “It was an enormous, rewarding challenge to make this movie during Covid, and during the cold weather in Glasgow.”

As well as Batgirl’s fellow actors hitting out at the studio, it was also reported that WB chief Walter Hamada almost quit his job due to the cancellation of the movie.

Zaslav has since defended his decision to can the upcoming superhero flick.

“We're not going to release any film before it's ready,” he said. “We're not going to release a film to make a quarter, we're not going to release a film — the focus is going to be, how do we make each of these films, in general, as good as possible. But DC is something that we think we could make better, and we're focused on it now.”

After canceling Batgirl, Warner Bros. Discovery announced a new ten-year-plan for its DC film slate, attempting to mimic the success of Marvel Studios with a more structured, phase-like approach.

Whether or not this pays off remains to be seen. But at the moment, the studio is still looking for its very own Kevin Feige… and still hasn’t found them.

Walmart and Paramount have made a deal to offer Paramount+ to the subscribers of Walmart's membership program, Walmart+.

First reported by The Wall Street Journal, Walmart is hoping to better compete with Amazon, which has a huge amount of streaming content at its disposal thanks to Amazon Prime. Walmart+ subscribers will get access to the Essential tier of Paramount+, which usually costs $4.99 and includes advertisements.

This move comes just a week after The New York Times reported that Walmart was pondering streaming deals with Paramount, Disney, and Comcast. While Walmart does not report subscription numbers, estimates say Walmart+ has between 11 and 32 million subscribers, compared to Amazon Prime's 200 million.

Walmart+ is the chain's subscription service, similar to Amazon Prime. Members get free shipping and fuel discounts among other benefits, but apparently Walmart decided it lacked the content angle that can compete with Amazon's Prime Video.

Paramount+ is one of the bevy of streaming services available right now. It has plenty of Star Trek content, including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. It's also home to a few video game adaptations, including the Halo TV series, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and the upcoming Knuckles series. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime has series like The Boys, Invincible, and more.
