Scream 6 is in the works, and Courteney Cox has already confirmed that she's returning for the sixth entry in the iconic slasher franchise.

In a recent episode of the Just for Variety with Marc Malkin podcast, Cox revealed that she would be returning for Scream 6, having starred as reporter Gale Weathers in every Scream movie to date. The actress shared that she had just received the script for the upcoming film, with production likely to begin in Canada at sometime in June.

"I got the script yesterday. And I haven't read it yet. I just got it, and I'm so used to getting, you know, Shining Vale scripts, which are 26 pages, and I'm, 'Whoah, I've got to read a script.' I'm excited to read it," Cox said before making a joke about plot spoilers. "I don't know if I'm supposed to say anything. Let me tell you the killer!"

The sixth movie was confirmed by Paramount and Spyglass in February. "We are tremendously grateful to the fans around the world who enthusiastically received our film," the companies said in a joint statement at the time. "We can't wait for audiences to see what Radio Silence, writers Jamie and Guy, and Project X have in store for our Woodsboro family."

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are returning to direct the franchise's next installment, while James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick are back on scripting duties. Vanderbilt will also serve as a producer on Scream 6 with Paul Neinstein and William Sherak. Kevin Williamson is executive producing alongside Gary Barber, Peter Oillataguerre, and Chad Villella.

Scream 6 follows the incredibly successful release of 2022's Scream, which is both a direct sequel to the events of Scream 4 and also a jumping-off point for newcomers. Alongside various new faces, the fifth Scream film also brought back Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott, Courteney Cox's Gale Weathers/Riley, and David Arquette's Dewey Riley.

IGN's review of the fifth entry into the franchise noted how it expertly blended "reverence for the source material while creating something that feels almost completely new," adding that "all of the performances are pitch-perfect as the new generation of Woodsboro teens step into their futures, the kills are gnarly, and no version of toxic fandom is left unmocked."

Sony's newly-released Gran Turismo 7 has been essentially unplayable for almost 24 hours as ongoing server maintenance continues to prevent GT7 owners from accessing the game.

The problem has been reportedly pinned to an issue relating to the most recent patch, but there has been no further update from the Gran Turismo team in the past 16 hours and the game remains offline.

Due to an issue found in Update 1.07, we will be extending the Server Maintenance period. We will notify everyone as soon as possible when this is likely to be completed. We apologize for this inconvenience and ask for your patience while we work to resolve the issue. #GT7

Unfortunately, despite its heavy single-player focus, Gran Turismo 7 requires an always-online internet connection to play. With the servers unavailable, players are unable to access their personal saves and garages and cannot race, hot lap, participate in licence events, or even customise their cars. Only two modes are available in GT7 when the game is offline: an arcade mode with a tiny selection of cars, and the eccentric and very limited Music Rally mode.

This extended server outage comes in the wake of heavy player criticism of the latest update for a range of noticeable reductions in the amount of credits rewarded for specific races. Shrunken payouts for a number of single-player events will make being able to afford GT7's most expensive cars more time-consuming than it was previously. GT7's Metacritic user rating is currently in freefall.

These newly reduced payouts also come after heavy criticism of GT7's startlingly aggressive microtransaction model, which was only activated after GT7's reviews were published. While cars in 2017's GT Sport were offered for purchase individually (priced between US$1 and US$5), GT7's cash-for-credits solution means players tempted to accelerate their GT7 car collections by using real money are being asked to shell out up to US$40 for a single car. These cars are available in-game by grinding credits, but the newest update has ensured that will now take longer.

IGN's Gran Turismo 7 review noted its gorgeous graphics, fantastic driving feel, and racing options galore helped make it the best the series has been since its dominant PlayStation 2 era, but stated its always-online single-player mode seems needlessly punitive.

Daniel Radcliffe isn’t looking to become Harry Potter again anytime soon.

Following the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, original director Chris Columbus floated the idea of adapting the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child into a movie with the original trio of actors.

But Radcliffe has addressed the idea by saying he’s not open to returning to the wizarding world just yet. In an interview with The New York Times, Radcliffe responded directly to a question about the Cursed Child idea by saying it’s “not something I’m really interested in doing right now.”

“I’m getting to a point where I feel like I made it out of Potter OK and I’m really happy with where I am now, and to go back would be such a massive change to my life,” Radcliffe says.

The actor has followed up his post-Potter career with a series of left-field roles that Radcliffe seems personally invested in. Whether that’s playing a magical corpse on Swiss Army Man, to playing ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic in the upcoming Weird Al biopic.

Radcliffe added the customary “I’m never going to say never,” but also said that actors like Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill, who eventually returned to Star Wars, had 30 years before returning. “For me, it’s only been 10,” Radcliffe says.

Harry Potter isn’t on ice just because Radcliffe isn’t returning to the role. A spinoff film series based on Fantastic Beasts is readying its third movie and PlayStation recently revealed gameplay for the Hogwarts Legacy video game, set in the late 1800s.

Hogwarts Legacy is targeting holiday 2022 for a release date.

Hogwarts Legacy will be released in Holiday 2022.

Two years after it was first revealed to the world, Avalanche Software announced Hogwarts Legacy will be released this holiday.

Before the release window, Avalanche showed off nearly 20 minutes of gameplay that included all the various activities players can partake in their life as a wizarding student at Hogwarts. This includes taking magic classes, wizard duals, raising magical creatures, and more.

Hogwarts Legacy was announced in 2020 and was set to be released in 2021 before being delayed to 2022. The holiday release window is slightly more concrete than that so folks hoping to hop a train to Hogwarts will have to wait until the tail-end of the year.

Today's State of Play was almost exclusively geared towards showing off the various activities players can do at Hogwarts and it's quite a bit. From being sorted to your own house and studying as a fifth-year wizarding student, Hogwarts Legacy truly seems to be a chance for players to live their life as a wizard student.

As for plot details, those remain under-wraps. Players will join in as fifth-year students in the late 1800s. Players can also fully create their own characters, so there's no set protagonist to inhabit. Check out our full rundown of Hogwarts Legacy gameplay details here.

The game has stirred up discussion over its connection to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has become notable in recent years for her transphobic comments. Warner Bros. has said the author is not directly involved with the game, but leadership has said "she's entitled to express her personal opinion". Reports have since suggested that the game will allow for transgender characters to be created.

Avalanche Software lifted the veil on Hogwarts Legacy. During a special State of Play, the 20-minute show was dedicated to showing off new gameplay and plot details.

As seen in today's State of Play, Hogwarts Legacy will let players live their full wizarding life as a fifth-year student at Hogwarts. That includes a wizard duel with another classmate, brewing potions in class, flying on a broomstick, and exploring the school's campus in your free time.

Avalanche Software also shared some plot details for Hogwarts Legacy, where the player is tasked with investigating a rumored-goblin rebellion led by a goblin named Ranrok. Further noting there was an "uneasy alliance" between the goblins and dark wizards.

As previously confirmed when the game was announced back in 2020, Hogwarts Legacy is set in the late 1800s. Avalanche Software notes in the latest PlayStation Blog that the decision to set it in this time period was to "ensure your legend is never overshadowed by any other hero." Though the developer assured fans of the Wizarding World that the gameplay will be "familiar to everything you loved about the Harry Potter series."

Today's broadcast also detailed new gameplay mechanics and features included in Hogwarts Legacy, including a Talent system, in which you can upgrade specific skills such as stealth or your ability to efficiently use abilities you learn when you are in the Room of Requirement.

Comic book movies just continue to dominate the box office, as Matt Reeves' The Batman becomes the latest movie to report huge revenue numbers.

The Batman has already reached $505.8 million at the global box office, making it the fourth highest-grossing film in the pandemic era. The lion's share of revenue is from North American theaters, where the movie has made $258.3 million, with the rest coming from overseas. And, the movie has yet to open in some markets, including China.

The film has topped each of the last two domestic weekend box office charts, only seeing a 41% decline from opening weekend to week two. Domestically, it is the second-highest grossing film of the pandemic era, only behind the massive performance of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The financial success matches up with the movie's quality. We awarded The Batman a 10/10 in our review, saying, "The Batman is a gripping, gorgeous, and, at times, genuinely scary psychological crime thriller that gives Bruce Wayne the grounded detective story he deserves." And, on our latest ranking of the Batman movies, The Batman came in at #2, just behind The Dark Knight.

If you're hooked on The Batman, check out which movies you should watch after seeing The Batman. And, check out how Nicolas Cage wants to fit into Robert Pattinson's Batman universe.
