Next X-Men Movie Set in the 1990s
X-Men franchise producer Simon Kinberg has confirmed the next film in the series will be set in the 1990s.
First Class took place in the 60s, Days of Future Past took place in the 70s, and the upcoming Apocalypse is set in the 80s. It seems only logical that the next movie will continue the trend, and Kinberg confirmed the suspicions in an interview with Coming Soon.
However, we don't know yet whether Kinberg was referring to the next "main" X-Men movie, or whether it'll be the in-development New Mutants film, directed by Josh Boone. New Mutants will be bringing a "young adult vibe" to the universe, with younger characters on show.
Top 10 Call of Duty Zombies Maps
Zombies. What began as a hidden mini-game has now become one of Call of Duty’s most popular modes, with many fans getting their hands on the latest installment in the franchise solely for the opportunity to fight wave after wave of the undead.
Ever since Nacht der Untoten in Call of Duty: World at War, there have been a total of 23 original maps featured over a series of five games. Developers Treyarch and Sledgehammer have evolved and expanded the mode with each new addition, but there have undoubtedly been some highlights over the eight years since World at War released.
Here are our top ten Zombies maps in Call of Duty.
Doom Fan Runs Game on Chainsaw
Sure, it's not the most practical thing, but one Doom fan got the game to run on a chainsaw.
The toy chainsaw "can play any Doom game," creator George Merlocco said. The demo video, however, displays Doom 2, since that's the game in which the chainsaw is immediately accessible.
Merlocco named his creation the Painsaw, and it's compatible with a controller or keyboard. The chainsaw itself is a "modded Echo Junior Chainsaw toy" powered by a Raspbery Pi Zero.
"This Painsaw is a tribute to everything doom," Merlocco wrote on YouTube. The video it's featured in even includes the timestamp of the first Doom's release date.
The Flash Photo Preview: Kevin Smith Directs
When we last saw Barry Allen he was...um...gone? Possibly disintegrated into nothingness? Bottom line: It didn't look good. Barry and Harrison's plan to recreate the circumstances of the particle accelerator explosion from the series premiere may have had disastrous consequences.
Expect immediate answers on this week's "The Runaway Dinosaur" - airing Tuesday, May 10th - directed by the one and only Kevin Smith. Yes, super Flash fan Smith helmed this upcoming chapter and The CW has released a bunch of new images from the episode, and from the set, showing the Clerks/Dogma director in action. Plus, Barry reuniting with an unexpected loved one.

Artist Recreates Bloodborne in Unreal Engine 4
Simon Barle, an environment artist at DICE, has recreated the Hunter's Dream from Bloodborne in Unreal Engine 4.
Barle has worked on the likes of Battlefield 4, but in his spare time he has created some impressive and elaborate fan art for Bloodborne, which you can see in the video below (thanks VG24/7).
If you want to see more from Simon, you can check out his portfolio and ArtStation page.
We'll probably be seeing a lot more Bloodborne art soon, as it's being translated into a board game. From Software's other franchise, Dark Souls, is also getting the board game treatment very soon.
Watch: If Empire Strikes Back Had Bond-Style Opening Credits
James Bond and Star Wars are two of the longest-running movie franchises around, and they each have very distinctive opening sequences.
Kurt Rauffer has recently combined the two, and as you can see below, the James Bond style for Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back makes a surprisingly good fit.
It features a gorgeous visualization of Luke Skywalker's bombing run on the Death Star, Darth Vader's rotating helmet, and a tumbling lightsaber to the song Spectre by Radiohead, which was a rejected song for the most recent James Bond film.
Bates Motel: Can Norman Resist the Urge to Kill?
In last week's Bates Motel episode, "Unfaithful," written by star Freddie Highmore, Norman had some serious objections over Norma's marriage to Sheriff Alex Romero - to the point where the young man even considered taking an axe to Romero.
Norman however -- now on meds and free from his "Norma blackouts" -- quickly chose to take his rage out on the side of a shed instead. But was that the end of his anger over Romero? In Monday's new episode, "Forever," Bates Motel's penultimate Season 4 episode, things will all come to a dangerous head as Romero makes a big decision regarding Norman's future.
Freddie Highmore, along with Bates Motel executive producers Cartlon Cuse and Kerry Ehrin, talked to IGN about "Forever" and the lengths Norman might go to in order to "protect" his mother from the man she loves.
