The Jetsons to Become a Live-Action TV Series
Warner Bros. is looking to bring back the classic cartoon The Jetsons as a live-action TV series, with Back to the Future writer/director Robert Zemeckis on board as an executive producer.
According to TV Line, the new series will take George, Jane, Judy, and Elroy Jetson — plus their dog Astro — 100 years into the future and be set in 2118. The original animated series, which took place in 2062, was also set 100 years ahead of its 1962 debut date.
Zemeckis will reportedly produce the series alongside Family Guy executive producer Gary Janetti and Cast Away producer Jack Rapke.
Here’s What Yakuza 6’s New Engine Brings to the Crime-Drama Series
Now an older man at 48, Kazuma Kiryu is at odds with the world around him. Fresh out of prison, he learns that Haruka, the orphan girl he has protected since the first game, is in a coma after a hit-and-run car accident, and has left behind a newborn son, Haruto.
It’s not long before Kiryu is plunged back into the criminal underworld, as he takes Haruto on a trip across Japan to Hiroshima to discover the mystery behind Haruka’s tragic circumstances.
By now we know what to expect from a Yakuza game – exceptional storytelling, visceral violence and absurdist humor – but Yakuza 6: The Song of Life ups the ante in terms of production.
Built in the all-new Dragon Engine, for the first time it offers a near-seamless experience, allowing Kiryu to enter buildings, shops and restaurants with no loading screen (except for when entering some cut-scenes or accessing certain mini-games). Random street battles occur seamlessly too, with the added bonus that you can now choose to run away from a fight. The new engine can also handle more on-screen characters, so get ready to brawl with dozens of enemies at once.

Top Gun Sequel Release Date, Director Announced
Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski will officially helm Top Gun: Maverick.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer announced the news on Twitter while also revealing the sequel is set to hit theaters on July 12, 2019.
Kosinski was reportedly the number one directorial choice for Paramount and Skydance Pictures. The filmmaker previously worked with Tom Cruise on the 2013 sci-fi film Oblivion, and Cruise has apparently wanted to make another film with Kosinski ever since.
Earlier last month, Cruise discussed the tone of Top Gun: Maverick, saying the sequel is "going to be a competition film like the first one, and it's going to be in the same vein and the same tone as the first," while also being "a progression for Maverick."
Splatoon 2 Nintendo Direct Coming This Week
Nintendo has announced that it will broadcast a Splatoon 2 Nintendo Direct this Friday, July 6.
Broadcast worldwide at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm UK (and midnight AEST), the Direct will provide "a re-FRESH-er on some of the new features, weapons and styles" in the upcoming Nintendo Switch game.
It sounds as though the broadcast won't offer much in the way of new information, but will instead cover what the final game will comprise - that includes a brand new co-op mode, Salmon Run.
Splatoon 2 will be released on July 21, alongside a Splatoon 2-themed Switch Pro Controller.
16 Must-See Documentaries on Netflix
Movies can be a healthy, relaxing way to escape from reality. But the medium of cinema has the power to do more than entertain you. Documentaries catalogue real-life experiences and incredible events, making us more conscious of the world around us, our place within it, and what we can do to make a difference. They can be entertaining, horrifying, inspiring and just plain silly. They’re just as fascinating as any other genre, and even more versatile than most.
So the next time you’re sitting down to an evening with Netflix, bypass the action movies, skip over the comedies, and enjoy the very best documentaries that the service has to offer. They might just change your life.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 6 Canceled
Scott Cawthon, developer of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, has revealed he has ceased work on his new project, a sixth installment in the horror franchise.
Five Nights at Freddy's 6 had not been officially announced, but Cawthon has said "I fear that I've been neglecting other things in my life for the sake of trying to keep up with those mounting expectations."
There have been five entries in the main franchise, with Sister Location releasing last year as the most recent. There is also an RPG spin-off, FNaF World, which has been released for free after being pulled from Steam.
Hidden Alien Mission Found in Grand Theft Auto 5
Grand Theft Auto V's Chiliad Mystery has been ongoing for years and years, and the latest instalment in the saga has seen players uncover a crashed UFO and a new secret mission.
All this was added in the Gunrunning update recently, although it seemingly wasn't quite due for release yet. The Chiliad Mystery Guru group activated the mission early by messing with a few of the files found in the update.
The mission was forcefully activated, and as you can see in the video above, it involves picking up supplies with a supernatural twist. The supply location is a crashed UFO with a whole bunch of dead scientists and soldiers nearby - when you pick up a mysterious egg, aliens spawn in and start firing at you.
