Supernatural Pays Homage to John Wick In Action-Packed Episode
Supernatural might have taken Halloween week off, but Jensen Ackles didn't. The actor got in on the spirit of the holiday by dressing up in costume as Batman and hitting the 'gram to share some epic shots taken on a rooftop. And the internet took notice.
"Yeah, it was pretty cool," Ackles told IGN this week when asked about the online reaction to his superhero look. "I mean … it's Batman. I'm actually looking at the cowl right now. It's, like, staring at me."
Why The Invisible Man Isn’t Johnny Depp’s Dark Universe Movie
Forget Tom Cruise's Mummy fiasco -- cue the Tom Cruise scream! -- because we just got our first look at Universal’s new take on the classic Universal Monsters with the trailer for The Invisible Man.
The film stars Elisabeth Moss as Cecilia, a woman who escapes an abusive relationship, only to find that she is being haunted by her ex from beyond the grave… Or is she? You know, just because you’re invisible doesn’t mean you’re a ghost!
Based on the trailer, the film looks like it has the potential to be another solid entry in the Blumhouse Productions line of creepy horror flicks. Blumhouse, of course, has had great success with a range of low and mid-budget genre films like Paranormal Activity, The Purge, Get Out, and so many others.

PlayStation Is ‘Always Looking’ for New First-Party Studios
PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan could be interested in expanding Sony’s line-up of first-party studios, but not with out exercising a bit of caution.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.Biz, Ryan said they are "always looking” for new game development studios to acquire, similar to how they recently purchased Marvel’s Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games, but that they are "careful about who we look at and talk to.”
Ryan described the current landscape as a “seller’s market,” explaining that “buying studios right now is a very expensive undertaking.” So while that slower approach makes it seem like Sony might not be looking at all, Ryan still said “there is room for us to do more in that area, but we have to make sure that the company is right.”
