Tommy Lee Jones vs. Jason Bourne?
Oscar-winning actor Tommy Lee Jones has reportedly joined the next Jason Bourne movie. The film will see the return of the star/director team of Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass to the franchise.
According to Variety, Jones has been cast as a superior officer at the CIA in the untitled Bourne film. Previously, Edward Norton, Chris Cooper and Brian Cox have played similar roles in the spy-thriller series.
Jones won't be the only newcomer to join the fifth Bourne movie, however. Ex Machina actress Alicia Vikander is also set to star in the film, and there are rumors Viggo Mortensen may portray the villain.
Ouya Still Owes Game Developers Money
Two years ago, in an effort to bring more games over to its Andriod-based microconsole, Ouya announced the Free the Games Fund.
The fund promised to match a game's Kickstarter funds if that game remained an Ouya exclusive for at least six months. Now that Ouya has been acquired by Razer, some independent game developers claim they're getting shortchanged.
Free the Games promised to pay developers in segments: half after a playable beta was completed, a quarter once the game officially launched, and the last quarter once the six month period of exclusivity ended.

"I’m excited about going to Gamescom at the beginning of August, having another press show where we’re able to show games that we didn’t show here," he continued.

Fallout 4 Development Is ‘Basically Done’
Fallout 4 is "basically done," according to Bethesda marketing executive Pete Hines.
As such, it's too late for Bethesda Game Studios to add in any last-minute requests from fans. Right now, the studio is focused on making the game as bug-free and polished as possible before its release this November.
"Let's be honest,
it doesn't matter what anybody wants for a feature in Fallout 4," Hines told GameSpot. "The game is basically done. It was by and large done before we announced it, in terms of the features going in. You're not adding new features in May, June, July in the year you're releasing; you're trying to get everything fixed."

7 X-Men We Want in the Movies
How awesome is it that we’ve seen so many X-Men characters on the big-screen? If you told a comic book reader in 1989 that Apocalypse, Magneto and Psylocke would one-day be on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, they would’ve lost their minds (mostly over the Psylocke part).
After 15 years of being treated to X-Men at the movies -- and a total of seven installments thus far -- we’ve seen some pretty obscure characters get screen-time (we’re looking at you, Angel Salvadore). But we’re not quite satisfied, as there are still some major fan-favorite Muties we’ve yet to see in live-action.
IGN has selected the top seven X-Men we’d still like to see in the movies, with the hope that our wishes will someday come true. Let us know what you think of our choices, and sound off with your own suggestions in the Comments!
