Metro 2033 Movie Production Halted, Producers ‘Afraid of Setting It in Moscow’
Production on a film adaptation of the novel Metro 2033 has been halted after its screenwriters struggled to move its setting from a post-apocalyptic Moscow to Washington D.C.
The rights to the film have reverted back to author Dmitry Glukhovsky, according to an interview he gave with VG247. MGM had previously acquired film rights back in 2012 and attempted to adapt it with writer F. Scott Frazier, who wrote xXx: Return of Xander Cage.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Expansion Announced
Monster Hunter World has announced a raft of new updates, including a paid expansion pack called Iceborne, and a collaboration with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Iceborne will be available in Autumn 2019, and includes "new quest ranks, locales, monsters, moves and equipment". Its new story will also follow from the main game's conclusion.
Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto explained that Iceborne will be the size of previous "G" or "Ultimate" entries in the series - essentially, it should feel like a whole extra game. Pricing and an exact release date will be announced later.
In a separate update, timed for early 2019, Geralt of Rivia (fully voiced by original voice actor Doug Cockle) will also become available as a playable character (presumably through an in-game Outfit, although that's not confirmed).

Sonic The Hedgehog First Look: Exclusive Official Poster
Sonic The Hedgehog is making his way to the big screen, and IGN has the exclusive first look at a live-action take on the beloved character.
Check out the official motion poster for Sonic The Hedgehog below, which offers a tease at the iconic blue hedgehog's new look:

The poster shows a couple of key updates to Sonic, and we had the opportunity to speak with the creative team behind the movie to find out new details about the upcoming movie. This telling of Sonic's story sees him as a bit of a fish -- or hedgehog -- out of water. Sonic, voiced by Ben Schwartz, finds himself in our present-day world, wherein he develops a relationship with James Marsden's Tom Wachowski and also finds himself at odds with Jim Carrey's Dr. Robotnik. As expected, mayhem ensues.

Family Guy Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Carrie Fisher
Family Guy said goodbye to two icons during production on Season 17: Carrie Fisher and Adam West, both of whom lent their voices to the animated comedy in numerous episodes over the years - West since Season 2 as Quahog's Mayor West, and Fisher since Season 4 as Angela, Peter Griffin's boss at Pawtucket Brewery.
Because Family Guy's episodes take so long to produce, the show paid tribute to Fisher shortly after her death by dedicating its midseason premiere to her in January 2017, but didn't address her absence on-screen until this year's Dec. 9 episode, "Pawtucket Pete," which revealed that Angela had died from going swimming 20 minutes after eating.
