A brand new trailer for Lightyear has shown off more from Lightyear, the upcoming Pixar movie about the 'real' Buzz Lightyear.

Once again set to David Bowie's Starman, the trailer features Chris Evans' 'real' version of Buzz Lightyear, who is working with Star Command to attempt to escape a planet that he and his fellow Space Rangers have been marooned on for a full year. The film appears to feature the first test flight for a ship that will be used to finally escape the Mars-like planet, which uses the experimental ship that we saw in the previous trailer.

Where the first trailer largely focused on the wonder of interstellar flight, there's a bit more action shown off here. We see more of Buzz in his traditional green and white Space Ranger suit, which may perhaps be a combat model to aid in his fight against a bunch of heavily armoured enemy soldiers. He also contends with a "massive robot" that, with its triple-barrelled cannon and red glowing eyes, has more than a passing resemblance of Emperor Zurg from the Toy Story films. Is this Zurg himself, or one of his minions?

There's also more clips featuring Sox, Buzz's robot kitten companion, who looks to be the movie's comedy buddy character.

A new poster features Buzz in the iconic suit walking down the runway of a spaceport, as well as the June release date.

For more, check out how Lightyear fits into the Toy Story canon, and how excited Chris Evans is to be taking on the role of the world's most beloved Space Ranger. Lightyear will release on June 17, 2022.

Gerard Butler has landed the lead role in upcoming heist movie, Just Watch Me.

According to Deadline, the film is being written by John Wick and Nobody creator Derek Kolstad, based on a novel by Dexter creator, Jeff Lindsay. “As both a fan and a friend of Jeff Lindsay, I am excited to bring Just Watch Me to the screen,” said Kolstad.

The novel, Just Watch Me by Dexter creator Jeff Lyndsay, is the first in the Riley Wolfe series. A world-renowned thief and master of disguise, Wolfe targets only the richest 0.1 percent of people. He despises the degenerate and immoral ultra-rich and won’t think twice about killing them if they get in his way.

Now, he teams up with a master forger named Monique, and a group of expert thieves, for the biggest job of their lives – stealing the Crown Jewels of Iran.

“I’m eager to see Gerard Butler bring Riley Wolfe to cinematic life with the incredible team of Dylan Russell, Scott Steindorff, Alan Siegel, Raven, and Sculptor Media,” added Kolstad.

Kolstad’s last film, Nobody, wowed audiences as Bob Odenkirk stepped in his own John Wick-style action flick, taking on thieves and gangsters with brutal efficiency.

IGN’s own review said: “[Bob Odenkirk’s] role here allows the actor another fascinating turn in an acting career fairly filled with them. Yes, it’s gruesome and violent, but it’s also wickedly funny and surprisingly poignant. And while those Keanu comparisons are always going to be there, Nobody easily holds a candle to Wick.”

Warren Goz and Eric Gold will produce Just Watch Me alongside Scott Steindorff, Dylan Russell, Joel Falderon, Gerard Butler, and Alan Siegel. James Masciello, and Matt Sidari are on board as executive producers.

“What attracted us to this project was the veritable dream team of producers, creatives and partners,” said producer Warren Goz. “We are also excited to team with Derek, who has a renowned track record of great commercial achievement.”

Notably, John Wick 4 and 5 will move forward without Kolstad, as will its upcoming spin-off series, The Continental, which will focus on a young Winston. John Wick: Chapter 4 was recently delayed until March 25, 2023.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus players have found an exploit that allows rare shiny Pokémon to be duplicated several times.

Per Polygon, the method means that players still nedd to find shinies themselves, (though using our guide will help), and only Pokémon found in trees, rock ore, and treasure chests can be multiplied.

Discovered by @Kqttling on Twitter and explained in-depth by YouTuber PhillyBeatzU, the exploit allows the a single shiny Pokémon to be duplicated a seemingly infinite number of times.

Start by turning off autosave, and once you've found and caught a shiny from one of the three types of spawns, save your game manually. Now find and enter a nearby cave within the same overall area and wait for 30 minutes, making sure not to interact with anything else.

When time's up, go back to the exact same spawn from which you found the original shiny and it should be shaking again with the exact same Pokémon, down to its ID number, waiting inside. This can be done with any Pokémon, shiny or not, so if there are any others you want to duplicate then this method will work.

Shinies are rare versions of Pokémon with different colorations, and have historically been very difficult to find. Arceus' more open approach to catching 'em all makes shinies a little easier to find than in previous games, but they're still not a common sight.

It's very possible that developer Game Freak will look to patch out the exploit. Pokémon Legends: Arceus puts far less emphasis on trading and battling than previous games, but with it set to be added to the Pokémon Home service (which allows you to trade monsters across multiple games), an influx of shinies could disrupt the balance the company aims for across its games.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus sold 6.5 million copies in its first week, meaning the somewhat experimental title has sold faster than recent mainline Pokémon games.

IGN said Pokémon Legends: Arceus was "good", and "an ambitious revamp that successfully revolutionizes the defining Pokemon experiences of catching and battling, but is unfortunately set in a drab, empty, and at times tedious world."

X-Men ’97 will pick up from X-Men: The Animated Series' cliffhanger ending, and will reportedly consist of 10 episodes, premiering in mid-2023.

During an interview with Justin Underwood on YouTube, original X-Men: The Animated Series showrunners Eric and Julia Lewald (who are consulting on the new show) lifted the lid on the upcoming revival.

“They want this show to pick up where the original X-Men series wrapped,” said Julia Lewald. The original show ended on a bit of a cliff-hanger.

After Charles Xavier was gravely injured by Henry Peter Gyrich, it looked as though the classic X-Men mentor might not make it. Thankfully, Empress Lilandra arrived to take the wounded Professor X into space to be cured by the Shi’Ar Empire.

X-Men ’97 will “build off of that” according to original showrunner Eric Lewald, who emphasized that the new show will continue the X-Men story fans were left with.

X-Men ’97 was announced last year during Disney+ Day, with the streamer reviving the much-loved original X-Men show. Although details have been scarce since, it looks as though we now know when it will debut.

“I believe they’re looking at ten episodes for the first season that's going to come out mid-next year,” said Eric Lewald. “They're starting it soon after ours ended... ‘Where is [Charles Xavier] and what are we going to do with him?’”

“They want it to be an extension,” he continued. “Whoever it is doing this new show is going to make it their own. No matter who is involved. There is great love and affection and respect from an entire group of people that are doing this show, starting at the top with Beau DeMayo, who's the showrunner.”

X-Men ’97 will aim to recreate the style of the original ‘90s Saturday morning cartoon, with many of the show’s original voice actors returning to reprise their roles.

“They could have just said, ‘We’re just going to do a new show’,” he explained. “We have friends that were part of other very successful shows, and when they get rebooted, not a phone call, not a card, not a bit of recognition, just, ‘Oh, we're going to do the new whatever.’”

But in this case, it looks as though Disney was keen to pay respect to the original series. “We said, ‘It's your show. We're here if there's a red flag,’” he said. “But we're on for that, or for maybe some ideas of things we'd like to see. But really, it's their show. You can tell by the design. It's the same design but slightly modernized, slightly more beautiful, five times the money spent on it. Not that we're bitter!”

“These are real superfans, really respectful superfans of the show, extending the show into new places,” he added. “We couldn't have asked for a better setup than that.”

X-Men '97 will see Cal Dodd return as Wolverine, alongside Lenore Zann as Rogue, George Buza as Beast, Alison Sealy-Smith as Storm, Chris Potter as Gambit, Catherine Disher as Jean Grey, Adrian Hough as Nightcrawler, and Christopher Britton as Minister Sinister.

Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki said meeting Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin to discuss Elden Ring was "like speaking with an old friend" in an interview with Edge – and explained more about how the two legends of their fields collaborated.

Martin helped construct the fantasy world of Elden Ring – effectively its history and major figures, but not the game's plot – and Miyazaki has good memories of travelling to America to have the initial conversations, saying Martin already knew about the Dark Souls games before they met.

Miyazaki said: "I knew immediately from talking to him, it just became apparent his skill and his passion for the fantasy genre, and for games as well. There was a little bit of a generation gap between us, so I felt a bit apprehensive about going to these talks, but after a lot of these conversations, it was just like speaking with an old friend.

"It just felt so fresh to have those conversations with someone who was so passionate about the same things, and to show that pure joy and sense of curiosity for these fantasy worlds."

The two seemingly developed a high level of respect for each other, professionally and personally, and this helped Miyazaki tell Martin that From Stofware only wanted him to write Elden Ring's history, not the actual story or in-game text.

Miyazaki said: "We started off by giving him these very vague and broad themes and ideas for the mythos that I had swimming around in my head, along with what kind of games we typically make, and the sort of themes we'd like to explore in our games.

"It was all very loose and quite vague. Then he would come back to us with a lot of ideas: how about this, this, and this? That back-and-forth started the exchange of ideas."

Martin provided Miyazaki and his team with samples of text depicting different parts of Elden Ring like its history or important figures, along with a "sort of backbone" story to the world.

Developer FromSoftware interpreted these to build an actual game, Miyazaki said, and "the issues that Mr Martin dealt with in his writing provided these motifs for the game itself, so that is something I am very grateful for."

Miyazaki recently commented that Martin may be "shocked" by what he's done to the characters in teh final game, and confirmed that Elden Ring's gameplay is as hard as ever.

The game will be released on February 25, and IGN already has you covered with our guide that includes everything we already know about Elden Ring's dungeons, bosses, secrets, and more.

Platinum Games wants to return to Scalebound, the dragon-filled Xbox exclusive it cancelled in 2017 – and has appealed to Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer to begin those discussions.

Speaking to IGN Japan, Platinum president Atsushi Inaba explained that Scalebound creator Hideki Kamiya, “has been talking about wanting to work on Scalebound again for a while.”

Kamiya himself added: “I’d like to appeal to Phil Spencer directly! Let’s do it, Phil!”

Kamiya has not been shy about expressing his regret over the game's cancellation, and the develoepr has said before that that it would love to return to the game with Microsoft's permisssion.

However, Inaba made clear that this isn't an idle wish, and they'd like to reopen talks with Micriosoft about the idea:

“Often in an interview you might hear a developer politely saying, ‘Yes, if we had the opportunity we’d love to work on that again’, but we don’t mean it that way. Both Kamiya and I are serious – we really would love to work on Scalebound again. I’d like to discuss it with Microsoft properly.”

Kamiya went further: "Development had progressed a fair way, and it seems pointless for Microsoft to just hold on to that and not do anything with it.”

Kamiya then switched to English to say, “Phil! Phil! Let’s do it together!"

Just a day before contenders for 2022 Oscars are announced, the Razzies has revealed its nominees for worst movies and film performances of 2021. Bruce Willis in particular is being roasted this year, with the Razzies dedicating an entire category to his eight worst film performances in the past year. Yes, you read that right. Bruce Willis starred in more movies than most actors get in a decade, including low-budget action flicks like American Siege, Apex, and Midnight in the Switchgrass.

At the top (or maybe bottom) of the pack is Netflix's Diana, the live stage musical filmed for streaming audiences, with nine nominations, including for worst picture, actor, and actress. The Guardian called it "a musical mess to rival Cats" and "the year's most hysterically awful hate-watch" for its depiction of the late royal family princess. It's similarly nominated for worst director, supporting actor, and supporting actress.

Netflix also takes second place in total nominations for The Woman in the Window, the psychological thriller starring Amy Adams, taking home five nominations, including for worst picture. Ironically, it boasts one of the more bankable casts in Razzie history, including Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Julianne Moore.

Following the pack is Karen, the dark-comedy thriller about a racist white woman stalking a young black couple living in the surburbs. You might remember it from the too-bad-to-be-real trailer that went semi-viral last year. Richard Roeper of Ebert and Roeper fame called it an "extended SNL parody of a Jordan Peele film."

Both Space Jam: A New Legacy and Dear Evan Hansen also received four nominations, including for worst picture, while Mark Wahlberg's Infinite and Renny Harlin's The Misfits close out with three nominations a piece.

The GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition, which launched back in November, landed with a whole host of technical issues that earned plenty of criticism from fans (and us). But that doesn't seem to have stopped it from selling very, very well.

Take-Two just gave its quarterly earnings report, during which the company said the trilogy, "significantly exceed[ed] our commercial expectations." That's nice to hear, even if it doesn't really tell the whole story, as companies can essentially set whatever metrics they want internally and then say a game exceeded them.

But a bit of clever math on the part of VGC might have gotten at its actual sales metrics. Take-Two reported that the entire GTA series to date has sold over 370 million copies, while GTA V has sold over 160 million on its own as of the quarter's end in January. That's up from the numbers they reported last quarter of 355 million for the series, and 155 million for GTA V alone. If you look back at earnings reports from recent past quarters, it's fairly consistent that GTA V's sales line up exactly with overall series sales increases — but there's a 10 million unit discrepancy.

With no other major GTA titles releasing during that period, that makes it reasonably likely that the GTA Trilogy was largely responsible for the remaining 10 million sales — and that's just from its November release through December, not counting what it may have sold in January or the first week of February.

Despite its launch issues, Take-Two has been contrite both at launch and now and has committed to fixing the trilogy's issues. It has already released some major updates, and more are on the way in the future. An eventual mobile release for Android and iOS is also still in the cards for the first half of this year. Meanwhile, an upgraded version of GTA V is headed to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 15.

Just last week, Rockstar Games revealed that a new GTA game was indeed in development, and though we didn't get more details on it today, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick affirmed to IGN that Rockstar is fully in charge of the decision to reveal more information in the future.
