Captive State: Why Rupert Wyatt Wanted a Human Twist on Alien Invasions
There have been countless different approaches to the alien invasion story, from sci-fi epics like Independence Day and Close Encounters of the Third Kind to more personal cultural and political commentaries like USA's Colony. Director Rupert Wyatt, perhaps best known for his work on Rise of the Planet of the Apes, opted for the latter with his new film Captive State, which is set in Chicago nearly a decade after militarized aliens occupied America and tells the story of both those who are for and against the extra-terrestrial forces.
Wyatt, who co-wrote the story with his wife Erica Beeney, knew they wanted to tell a more modern, timely story through the lens of science fiction. The origin of Captive State was the idea of exploring the stories both the collaborators and dissidents on both sides of an occupied state. But Wyatt and Beeney opted not to go the route of a historical drama (which, coincidentally, he already directed in the pilot of AMC's Turn: Washington's Spies) and instead looked to the near future and "create this idea of we're putting a documentary film crew into the future and we're under occupation by an alien life form."

Check Out These Official Shirt Designs for the First 150 Pokemon
The first 150 Pokemon are now part of designs that can be incorporated into shirts through Original Stitch - though they’re currently only available in Japan, and Mew is notably absent.
Through Original Stitch, the designs shown in the gallery below can be incorporated into both men’s and women’s styles of casual, dress and Hawaiian shirts. What’s more, after selecting a size for the shirt, users can mix and match both plain and specific Pokemon designs into the shirt’s base fabric, collar, cuffs and pockets. Theoretically, fans could have a Charizard base with a Tauros collar, Vulpix cuffs and Mewtwo Pockets - though that would look like one hot Poke-mess.
Captive State Review
Director Rupert Wyatt launched a massive franchise with Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2011, but since then he's been much quieter, directing indie Mark Wahlberg starrer The Gambler and taking turns on TV shows like The Exorcist. Now, after eight years, he's returning to the science fiction fray with Captive State, and though it's a world away from the big budget star vehicle he's most well known for, it's the director's best film yet with a sterling cast, moving story, and impressive effects.
Set in Chicago almost a decade after an intergalactic assault which has changed the face of the entire planet, Wyatt quickly establishes the state of play with some simple yet intelligent visual exposition, and by the time the opening credits have finished rolling you're an active part in this terrifying new world. It's a thoroughly dystopian landscape we find our protagonist Gabriel in as he navigates the leftovers of his hometown.

Marvel Fixes Endgame Poster After Danai Gurira Omission
Fans were rightly miffed Thursday -- and quickly aired their frustrations on Twitter -- after seeing that Danai Gurira's name was missing from the new poster for Avengers: Endgame despite her character Okoye being featured on it.
Marvel Studios released a new version of the poster later that day featuring Gurira's and acknowledging the mistake. "She should have been up there all this time," Marvel Studios tweeted.
She should have been up there all this time. Check out the official Marvel Studios' #AvengersEndgame poster. @DanaiGurira #WakandaForever pic.twitter.com/5V1veWMxlz

Shovel Knight Developer Yacht Club Games to Reveal a New Published Game
Yacht Club Games has announced that, in addition to bringing Shovel Knight: King of Cards and Shovel Knight Showdown, it will also be bringing with it another game that it will be publishing.
No further information was given besides a gif of what appears to potentially be some type of ninja with a sword standing in the shadows, staring out onto a ruined city while a storm rages above.
So, while this isn't Yacht Club Games' follow-up to Shovel Knight, it is part of its Yacht Club Games Publisher catalog that also includes the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack and should still be well worth a look. If you are at PAX East, you will also be able to get hands-on with this new title.
Avengers: Endgame Trailer – What Does All the Red Mean?
The new Avengers: Endgame trailer has left us in a tizzy, but we've collected ourselves and are now hard at work obsessively analyzing every last frame. One element that stands out -- aside from the team re-assembled and marching forward in brand new costumes -- is the deliberate use of the color red during its black and white flashback scenes. We also saw this used in the opening of the Super Bowl TV spot. But what does it all mean? Let’s run through some theories!
If you need, you can check out the trailer below:
