Brosnan, Bond Vets Pay Their Respects to Roger Moore
Actors and filmmakers who worked with (or were just fans of) Roger Moore have taken to social media to salute the late James Bond star, who died Tuesday from cancer at the age of 89.
Members of the James Bond filmmaking family posted their condolences online, including the official James Bond account, former 007 star Pierce Brosnan, Moore's Live and Let Die co-star Jane Seymour, the maker of 007's favorite car, Aston Martin, A View to a Kill actress Tanya Roberts, Live and Let Die rocker Paul McCartney, and rock band Duran Duran, who recorded the title track for Moore's A View to a Kill.
Uncharted: Every Director the Movie Has Lost and Why
Most fans of the Uncharted franchise are probably taking a "I'll believe it when I see it" approach to the long-gestating film adaptation. First announced way back in 2009, the Uncharted movie has been trapped in development hell ever since, frequently gaining and losing writers, directors and actors over the years.
The good news is that there's been some recent progress on the Uncharted front. Sony has even established a new in-house development studio called Playstation Productions, one tasked with turning various Playstation franchises into blockbuster films. The bad news is that Uncharted's revolving door of directors keeps spinning. Travis Knight is the latest director to drop out of this decade-old adaptation.

The Kerbal Space Program team is now a part of Valve.
As a guest on the Game Dev Unchained podcast, ex-Valve employee Roger Lundeen mentioned that his former company hired the Kerbal Space Program team around five or six months ago.

The 100: Will the Rocket Work?
The 100 is ending Season 4 in the midst of a typically intense scenario this week – one with arguably the biggest stakes yet, given “Praimfaya” (also the name of the finale) is about to hit, via a death wave that will wipe out all life on the planet.
I spoke to The 100’s executive producer and showrunner, Jason Rothenberg, about what to expect in the finale, as Clarke, Raven, Bellamy, Monty, Harper, Murphy, Emori and Echo race to get the rocket ready in time to make it to the Ark and save themselves, while Octavia has to adjust to her new position as leader for the 1200 locked inside a bunker that can sustain them for the next five years.
IGN: Last week’s episode firmly established who was going to be in the bunker, while introducing how the others could survive if they can make it back to the Ark. But as far as the rocket scenario, is it safe to say that, this being The 100, things won’t be going off without a hitch for our heroes?
