Onimusha Discussions Happening at ‘High Levels’ at Capcom
Yoshinoro Ono has revealed that an Onimusha reboot has been discussed at Capcom.
Ono told DailyStar he's "spoken internally with people who made Onimusha" with him originally "and talked about how interesting it would be to revisit that series." However, the producer is adamant fans of the series shouldn't get excited at this point, as the company is "not further down the road than the discussion phase."
With Capcom, Ono has been busy with the impending release of Street Fighter V, and is "not really in a position to start that same level of battle" he said he had to fight to get Street Fighter IV made.
Syfy Renews The Magicians for Season 2
The freshman class of Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy will be returning for a sophomore year now that Syfy has renewed The Magicians for a 13-episode second season.
“Thanks to an extraordinarily gifted creative team of executive producers and our partners at Universal Cable Productions, The Magicians has become a buzzed-about hit, enchanting fans of the novels as well as attracting new and younger audiences to Syfy,” said Dave Howe, the network's president.
The renewal comes just three episodes into the show's first season, which the networks says have averaged 1.7 millions viewers with a good chunk of that in the coveted 18-34 demographic.
Adapted from Lev Grossman's bestselling series, the show follows a young man named Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) who's accepted into a magical school -- one that proves to be a lot more The Rules of Attraction than Harry Potter.
Don’t Let Harley Quinn Give You a Tattoo
Margot Robbie might not want to quit her day job anytime soon to become a tattoo artist. The Suicide Squad actress -- who plays Harley Quinn in the upcoming DC Comics movie -- gave 26 of her cast and crew mates on the movie a tattoo to commemorate their time together. It was a tattoo of one simple word -- "skwad," the film's hashtag. Unfortunately, Robbie misspelled one person's tattoo.
The Aussie actress made the admission during a post-Super Bowl appearance on Late Show With Stephen Colbert, alongside her Whiskey Tango Foxtrot co-star Tina Fey. We'll allow her to explain for herself:
Check out Harley doing her tattooing thing below.

According to Wong, Strange has some evil things in store for Gotham when Season 2 resumes later this month. "What
is doing in there is indeed very, very bad," the actor teased. "Imagine the worst thing someone might do. Then multiply that by 10."
The 100: Eliza Taylor on Clarke and Lexa’s Connection
It would be an understatement to say Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) has seen and done some shocking things at this point on The 100 and Season 3 began with her in a very different place, both physically and mentally, as a result. More recent events have found her reunited with Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey), though that dynamic remains very complicated as well, to say the least – as we wait to see Clarke’s reaction to Lexa bowing down and pledging fealty to her.
Last month, at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, I spoke to Eliza Taylor right before a panel took place for The 100. We discussed Clarke’s state of mind, her similarities to Lexa and what she makes of Roan (Zach McGowan) – her captor early on this season, who has turned out to have a more complicated agenda than it initially appeared.

Top 10 Super Bowl 50 Commercials
With celebrities like Drake, Liam Neeson, Ryan Reynolds, Alec Baldwin, and more at their disposal, advertisers really threw everything at the wall this year for Super Bowl 50. And while there was no "Dead Nationwide Kid" to bring everyone down, there was still a pattern of nightmarish imagery. From that haunting Puppymonkeybaby to "Skittles" Steven Tyler to Willem Dafoe reenacting Marilyn Monroe's iconic sidewalk shoot, these ads really leaned into "the uneasy."
