Free Sprint Tracks for Driveclub Every Week Until Christmas

Rockstar Games has made its disdain for the recently-aired BBC feature The Gamechangers clear via Twitter, dismissing the program as “random, made up bollocks.”

The Gamechangers is a 90-minute feature which features Daniel Radcliffe as Rockstar President Sam Houser and Bill Paxton as now-disbarred American attorney Jack Thompson, who attracted attention back in the ’90s and early 2000s for his legal efforts against rap and videogames. The Gamechangers is set over a three-year period from 2002, which was during the development of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It aired overnight in the UK.

Hamill Reports to the Star Wars: Episode 8 Set
Luke Skywalker is reportedly back in action for Star Wars: Episode VIII, according to reports from Ireland.
The Irish Examiner says cast and crew members are gathering in County Kerry to film scenes off the coast on the rocky isle of Skellig Michael, which also served as a location on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Unfortunately, bad weather conditions have reportedly impacted the shoot there.
"A crew of around 100 people and cast members, including Mark Hamill who will reprise his Luke Skywalker role, are expected to be on the boats due to leave Portmagee today at 7am," reports the Examiner, which included a photo of Hamill's son Nathan checking into his local hotel.

Supergirl Rumored to Come to the Big Screen, But …
Supergirl may find her way into the DC cinematic universe, but it won't be the same Kara Zor-El from the upcoming CBS show.
Heroic Hollywood claims to have obtained unconfirmed details regarding the plot of a sequel to Man of Steel--not to be confused with Batman v Superman.
According to the rumor, the sequel would feature Brainiac as the chief antagonist, attempting to retrieve the codex of Kryptonian genes similar to General Zod. However, he sets his sights on Supergirl as his pathway to the codex instead.
The rumor goes on to state that Brainiac ultimately will create Bizarro from the small scraps of Kryptonian knowledge he does have, and use him against Supergirl to retrieve the codex. This is a ton of detail for a movie that is so early in its planning stages, though, so take it with a grain or two of salt.
