Furious 8: Brian O’Conner May Cameo
The Fast and the Furious 8 may feature an appearance by Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, if recent comments by the late actor's brothers, Cody and Caleb, are any indication.
In an interview with ET, Caleb said he spoke with Vin Diesel about bringing O'Conner back for a future film. "I had a phone call with Vin for about an hour and we really discussed this a while back," he said.
"He wanted
blessing," Caleb continued, noting that Diesel wanted to check with them to see if it "would be acceptable to maybe bring Paul's character back… to really kind of let his fans know he's still out there."
Witcher 3 Won’t Receive PS4 Pro Patch
CD Projekt Red isn't planning on creating a PlayStation 4 Pro patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Speaking with Eurogamer, the studio explained it is prioritizing its efforts on Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and Cyberpunk 2077. That means an update for Sony's upgraded console isn't in the works.
"Since we want to fully focus on Cyberpunk 2077 and Gwent, and converting The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt from a full HD game into a 4K one
would be too much of a time- and resource-consuming process, we decided not to release an edition of Wild Hunt supporting the new features of PlayStation Pro," CD Project Red said to Eurogamer.
Are the Emmys Finally More Open to Genre Series?
With Game of Thrones' big win last night for Outstanding Drama Series, it's time to take a closer look at the types of shows that are currently being honored by the Emmys. Because Thrones winning the top TV award two years in a row (it also broke a rather notable record) is a pretty notable event.
In any previous Emmy era, Game of Thrones, no matter the quality, wouldn't have been even considered by many voters due to the dragons, sorcery, and overall fantasy world of the show. It's a genre series, and even though it's currently one of the - if not THE - hottest shows on TV, its packaging just isn't for everyone - or at least that's what the mantra used to be for genre shows. Currently however, Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead are actively disproving the theory that TV shows featuring monsters and mass amounts of gore can't draw in huge numbers.
Game of Thrones Creator on Possible Prequel Series
Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin recently spoke to the future of HBO's hit drama, teasing the possibility of a prequel series.
"I do have thousands of pages of fake history of everything that led up to Game of Thrones, so there’s a lot of material there and I’m writing more," Martin said backstage after the show won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series, Deadline reports.
That said, Martin was careful to point out there are currently no official plans for a prequel, noting that "at the moment we still have this show to finish and I still have two books to finish so that’s all speculation."

Twitter: Photos, Videos No Longer Part of Character Limit
Effective today, Twitter users can add media to their Tweets without it counting toward their character limit.
The official Twitter account shared the news in a post on its popular social media service, announcing that the change is "rolling out now," whereby "photos, videos, GIFs, polls, and Quote Tweets no longer count toward your 140 characters."
The change comes after Twitter announced plans earlier this year to one day allow users to "express even more" in a single Tweet. Prior reports suggested the company would also consider raising the character limits for Tweets, though Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey later confirmed the platform would stick with its current 140 character limit.
