Ex-Valiant Hearts Dev Announces New Game
11-11: Memories Retold is a new narrative adventure game from Valiant Hearts creative director Yoan Fanise and his team at DigixArt.
Focusing on World War I, the game is being made in partnership with Bandai Namco and Aardman Animation Studios, which is behind movies like Early Man and Shaun the Sheep.
"It's a part of history that touches me personally, as my great-grandfather fought in the trenches, he lost a leg and his brother there," Fanise said. "This is only one family story among so many others sadly."
Will Future Marvel Movies Still Draw From Existing Comics Stories?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe frequently uses existing Marvel comic books as its source material - but will it continue to do so as the universe expands?
IGN caught up with Marvel Studios boss, Kevin Feige, to find out if he and his studio would continue to tap the comics for epic stories like Civil War and Infinity War.
Aquaman Footage Was Shown at CinemaCon
The first footage from Warner Bros.' Aquaman film was debuted at CinemaCon in LA yesterday - but it was very much a work-in-progress.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the footage showed Aquaman "pulling a submarine out of the water, what appeared to be shark horses and vistas of Atlantean skyscrapers." Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's Black Manta and Patrick Wilson's Ocean Master also made an appearance.
THR reports that director James Wan made it clear that the footage was not an official teaser trailer. "I didn't want to bring anything, but they made me," he joked.

Hank Azaria Responds to The Simpsons’ Apu Controversy
Hank Azaria, long-time Simpson's cast member and voice of Apu, has responded to the controversy surrounding the character, saying his "eyes have been opened."
Azaria appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and said that "the most important thing is that we have to listen to South Asian people, Indian people, in this country, when they talk about what they feel and how they think about this character, and what their American experience of it has been."

Jason Momoa Tells CinemaCon the Best Batman Isn’t Ben Affleck
Jason Momoa was at CinemaCon this week, and the Justice League star broke Ben Affleck's heart when he told Will Arnett that he is the best Batman.
Warner Bros. debuted footage from James Wan's upcoming Aquaman film, and Will Arnett was the emcee at the event. Momoa was in attendance with Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. "You are the best f**king Batman," Momoa told Arnett, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Arnett portrayed the caped crusader in the LEGO Batman movie last year. In our review, we said his "gravelly tones and deadpan delivery are perfect for this reclusive, grumpy incarnation of the character," with Arnett giving us a Batman that is "vulnerable and still likeable."
Venom Has Everyone Debating the Pronunciation of “Symbiote”
Sym-BYE-ote, or sym-BEE-ote? That seems to be the big question coming out of the first full Venom trailer. Instead of debating about the likelihood of Carnage ending up in the movie or Venom's potential connection to Spider-Man, it's Jenny Slate's character who has been sparking the most discussion because of her pronunciation of "symbiote" -- well, at least after people finished talking about that Venom reveal.
In the trailer, Slate repeatedly pronounces the word as "sym-BYE-ote" instead of "sym-BEE-ote," which has driven such a spike in proper pronunciation search traffic that Merriam-Webster officially responded to the debate.
Bruce Campbell Has Officially Retired Ash
Bruce Campbell has revealed he will no longer play Ash Williams.
Campbell made the announcement on Twitter not too long after Starz officially canceled Ash vs. Evil Dead after three seasons.
“Big props to fans for the effort, but I’m retired as Ash. #timetofrysomeotherfish,” Campbell tweeted. The actor's comment came in response to a Bloody Disgusting article encouraging fans of the show to urge Netflix to pick up the series.

Nintendo's cardboard creative system Labo is out, and people are already making some cool things with it.
Labo is currently available in two standard variations, the Robot and Variety kits which feature premade Toy-Cons and games. Both also come with the Toy-Con garage, which allows users to create their own fun, and the Nintendo Labo Subreddit, as well as users on Twitter, have not disappointed.

Ayatross on Twitter has turned Labo into a password safe using the touch screen controls.
