Take-Two Explains Why It Hasn’t Made a GTA Movie Yet, and Probably Won’t
Take-Two has revealed why there hasn’t been a Grand Theft Auto movie or TV series yet, and why there probably won’t ever be.
In a recent interview with TheWrap, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick discussed why the game publisher hasn’t put GTA onto the big screen.
“Part of it is, if we were to do something like that, we’d want to have complete creative control to make sure we expressed
in the way we wanted - and that would mean we’d need to finance that motion picture,” Zelnick said.
He then clarified that funding a movie or any other form of on-screen adaptation isn’t the issue, it’s that “we don’t have the corporate expertise to do it, because only a handful of people inside Take-Two have ever worked in that business.”
Cyberpunk 2077 Will Probably Come to PS5 and Scarlett, But Not at Launch
CD Projekt Red plans on bringing Cyberpunk 2077 to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett, but doesn’t expect it to be ready for the launch of those next-gen consoles. The company also discussed the game’s multiplayer version and its possible monetization.
Speaking at CD Projekt Red’s earnings conference for Q3 2019, senior vice president for business development Michał Nowakowski answered a question from the audience about Cyberpunk 2077 coming to next-gen consoles.
“One may probably safely assume that at some point we may do something with next-gen, however we cannot really be very specific what that may be, when exactly that may be,” Nowakowski said.
Elon Musk’s Rick and Morty Cameo Finally Explains His ‘Elon Tusk’ Joke
Warning: this article contains minor spoilers for Rick and Morty: Season 4, Episode 3.
Rick and Morty's fourth season is crammed full of celebrity guest cameos, but perhaps none as surprising as the big guest star in "One Crew Over the Crewcoo's Morty." None other than Tesla, Inc. CEO and co-founder Elon Musk stopped by to help Rick Sanchez hatch his latest ridiculous scheme. And in the process, Musk finally explained the origin of a bizarre Twitter joke from earlier this year.
Musk voices a character named Elon Tusk, who's basically just an alternate universe version of himself with large tusks jutting from his lower jaw. But as Elon Tusk himself admits, the tusks have kept his ego and check and make him a more agreeable ally than his non-tusked counterpart would have been. Rick and Morty recruit Elon Tusk to carry out a very complicated heist operation (read our Rick and Morty review for more on how that turned out).

WWE Survivor Series: Was NXT Able to Triumph Over RAW and SmackDown?
It's RAW vs. SmackDown vs. -- new to the PPV, making Survivor Series actually interesting for the first time in years -- NXT!
Becky Lynch will face Bayley AND Shayna Baszler! AJ Styles will square off against Shinsuke Nakamura AND Roderick Strong. Plus, the tag tag team champions from each brand will clash! There will be a men's and a women's triple team elimination war! It's going to be nuts.
WWE has a lot to prove here. Not only are they surrounded on all sides by the likes of AEW, ROH, NJPW, IMPACT, and the NWA, but they need to show they can have a big PPV, using most of NXT's roster, and not completely f*** it up. This is a big ask!
After all, NXT just held their TakeOver: WarGames PPV last night and, while it's nothing new to say that an NXT TakeOver is a pitch perfect mix of wrestling, story, commentary, and overall packaging, this TakeOver was actually tethered to WWE's current ongoing story. It was like "Part 1" of a two-night showcase of NXT's supremacy. Just the fact that most every participant in the two WarGames matches are also competing at Survivor Series speaks freaking volumes. Adam Cole's going to die, isn't he? He's the gloriously overworked MVP of this entire month.

Joker is Close to Becoming the Biggest DC Movie Ever
We all know Todd Phillips' Joker has broken all types of box office records. It's not only the most profitable comic book movie of all time, it's the top grossing R-rated movie in history.
BUT...it's still not the top performing DC movie. No, that title's still being held by James Wan's Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa, which opened in December last year and went on to gross, globally, over a billion bucks.
Joker's over a billion now too, so it's hot on the heels of Aquaman, ready to become DC's clown king of crime.
