Sandlot Prequel in Development
The American classic The Sandlot is reportedly getting a prequel film, and it's deep in development.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, it looks like fans of The Sandlot, which turns 25 this year, have something big coming their way. The film is reportedly in advanced development at 20th Century Fox, and will be written by original director and writer David Mickey Evans alongside new writer Austin Reynolds.
There is no word on the plot for the potential prequel, so it's unclear if this will feature famous characters from the original like Smalls, Yeah-Yeah and Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, or if it will be an entirely new group of kids. Considering Smalls had just moved to the San Fernando Valley at the beginning of the original, it's possible he won't be involved in this prequel.

Dead or Alive 6: ‘Diego’ Revealed, ‘Rig’ Returns
IGN can exclusively reveal two new fighters for DEAD OR ALIVE 6, the forthcoming fighting game from Koei Tecmo’s Team Ninja. Brand-new fighter Diego and returning DOA5 antagonist Rig can be seen in a new announcement trailer.
A street-fighting brawler who grew up in the back alleys of New York, newcomer Diego brings a range of hard-hitting moves including headbutts and tackles when he makes his DOA debut. Diego started entering street matches to win money to support his ailing mother, and quickly became known as New York’s “uncrowned street hero.” With a talent for fighting in confined quarters, his anything-goes full-body-contact move-set is visceral and raw.

Topher Grace Recut The Hobbit Trilogy Into a 2 Hour Film
Topher Grace, known for his roles as Eric in That '70s Show and Eddie Brock in Spider-Man 3, made a personal 2 hour cut of the Hobbit Trilogy.
According to IndieWire, Grace created this edit after filming his role as the infamous white supremacist David Duke in Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman. The role had taken such a mental toll on him, he used the editing process to undo the psychological stress it gave him, bringing him out of a depression.

Lords of the Fallen 2: New Developer Scraps Existing Work
Lords of the Fallen 2's new dev is starting from scratch after taking over development from The Surge's Deck 13.
New-York based Defiant Studios is starting over with Lords of the Fallen 2, scrapping any pre-production work on the game made by series creator Deck 13. The game officially moved to Defiant earlier this year.
"It's really a reset, it's a fresh start. It's a new engine - Unreal 4 - and a new team" David Grijns, Defiant Studios managing director, told Eurogamer. "A team which does not have a long and illustrious background in action RPG development, but we actually see it as a strength."
Avengers: Infinity War Deleted Scenes Breakdown
Avengers: Infinity War is now available on Digital HD, a home release which includes four deleted scenes among its bonus content. There’s really one truly never-before-seen scene, however, with the other three being extended versions of scenes that ended up in the theatrical release.
Let's go through what happens in each of those four scenes. Spoilers ahead, obviously ...
Running one-minute and twenty-three seconds, this early scene includes a cameo by Iron Man director Jon Favreau, reprising his role as Tony Stark’s harried security chief-flunky-pal Happy Hogan. The scene retains the larger exchange between Tony and his fiancee Pepper Potts in the park talking about Tony’s dream where they had a child named Morgan. The theatrical version of the scene ends with a portal opening and the arrival of Doctor Strange and then Bruce Banner.
