Artist Reveals Concept Art from Cancelled Darth Maul Game

New artwork for the cancelled Darth Maul game, Star Wars: Maul has been revealed by an artist who had been working on the title.

It was supposed to be a stealth-action game inspired by the likes of Batman: Arkham Asylum, but was cancelled in 2011.

Live by Night was one of three new films that bombed at the domestic box office this weekend, earning just $5.4 million.

Warner Bros.' gangster film starring Ben Affleck failed to crack the top 10, opening wide in eleventh place.

AMC has announced a new sci-fi documentary from James Cameron.

Called James Cameron's Story of Science Fiction (though it's still a working title), the documentary contains six one-hour episodes and debuts sometime in 2018 on AMC. The series takes a look at the history of the sci-fi genre in pop culture, from its humble beginnings, to its current dominance in all things entertainment.
