Netflix’s Lost in Space: Season 1 Trailer Released
Netflix has released the first full-length trailer for its Lost in Space remake ahead of the series' premiere this April.
The footage features new looks at the Robinson family, the planet the family is stranded on, and the reveal of Dr. Smith, portrayed by Parker Posey. The trailer also includes plenty of action, special effects, and the reimagined robot which looks nothing like the one from the 1998 film and 1965 original series. The robot is also not part of the initial crew this time around.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Update Adds New Mode and Map
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is getting new content more than two years after its initial release, with the Infected mutiplayer mode and the new Redwood Snow map.
Update 1.27 is live for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and weighs in at 2.7 GB. The Redwood Snow map is a snowy variant of the Redwood map, which you would probably have guessed, given adequate time.
Infected is a popular mode that's made an appearance in other CoD titles, with one player becoming infected at the start of the match, and having to infect everyone else before the clock runs out.
Call of Duty 2018: New Leak Points to Black Ops 4
A leaked Gamestop listing has bolstered rumours that Activision's next Call of Duty title will be Black Ops 4.
CharlieIntel reports that a tipster sent it images from Gamestop's internal database of listings for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 merchandise.
The listings are for t-shirts and lanyards, priced at $19.99 and $6.99 respectively, due to arrive in May. Last year, Activision announced Call of Duty: WWII in April, so the May dates in the listing lend a bit of credibility to the leak.
Rumours that Treyarch's Black Ops 4 will be released this year were sparked last month, with multiple sources reporting that the sci-fi elements that have been prevalent in the last few games will be dialled back in favour of "a more grounded feeling."
