The Good Place Does Something New on TV
Kristen Bell and Ted Danson have one promise for viewers about their new NBC comedy: you haven't seen anything like it.
In a new video exclusive to IGN, Bell and Danson preview what's in store for the show's September 19th premiere. Check it out below.
The duo star in the new series from The Office and Parks and Recreation's Mike Schur, which sees Bell's character Eleanor Shellstrop sent to the "good place" after she dies. There she meets Danson's character, the architect for this specific slice of heaven, and realizes that maybe she isn't the person who actually was supposed to be sent to such an -- on the surface -- great place.
Make sure to read IGN's review of The Good Place's pilot, plus read the cast explain why the show is like Lost. Watch the trailer for the series below.
Niantic Taking Action Against Pokemon Go Cheaters
Pokemon Go developer Niantic Labs has begun "taking action" against the game's cheaters, according to a new post on the company's website for the game. Those caught "taking unfair advantage of and abusing Pokemon Go" will have their accounts terminated.
There are many ways for players to cheat in Pokemon Go, and if Niantic's system determines a player has been using any of those methods, they'll receive an email stating that the account in question has been terminated.
"Our main priority with Pokemon Go is to provide a fair, fun, and legitimate game experience for all players," Niantic said in the blog post. So that means no desktop emulators, no automated bots, and no Pokemon trackers are allowed.
Godzilla Animated Movie Coming Next Year
A feature-length animated Godzilla movie is in development at Toho, the Japanese creator and home of the King of the Monsters, and will be released sometime next year.
According to Variety, the screenplay for the film, simply titled Godzilla, is being written by Psycho-Pass: The Movie writer Gen Urobuchi and will tell an original story.
Polygon Pictures is producing the animated feature, and Detective Conan series director Kobun Shizuno is co-directing the film alongside Hiroyuki Seshita, who helmed the popular Netflix anime series Knights of Sidonia. "We’re aiming to make a big-scale animation entertainment that people who love Godzilla and people who know nothing about him can both enjoy," Shizuno said of the project in a statement.

Aaron Paul: From Breaking Bad to Final Fantasy 15 Film
Emmy Award-winning actor Aaron Paul may be known for playing one of TV's baddest bad boys, but he's really a good guy. Not just because he voices one in Square Enix's upcoming film Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. (He plays the part of Nyx Uldric, the movie's earnest main protagonist). He actually risked his life once to save another person. We got a chance to ask Aaron about that, why he chose to do Kingsglaive, and what he thinks of the current US presidential election.
IGN: I was at the Final Fantasy XV event in LA back in March, and when they debuted the Kingsglaive trailer, I turned to my friend and said, "Nyx Uldric looks like Aaron Paul." And then seconds later the company announced you were doing the voice of Nyx. Did Square Enix deliberately make the character look like you? Or was that just a happy coincidence?
