Clint Eastwood to Direct Captain Sully Movie
Oscar-winning filmmaker Clint Eastwood has lined up his follow-up to his 2014 blockbuster American Sniper. Warner Bros. announced today that he will direct a movie about Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger.
"Sully" is the acclaimed pilot of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 who was forced to ditch his damaged aircraft in the Hudson River in January 2009, saving all 155 people on board. The media labeled his expert water landing the "Miracle on the Hudson."
Eastwood will also produce the film with Malpaso's Tim Moore alongside Flashlight Films' Allyn Stewart and Frank Marshall.
Wrestling Wrap Up: Austin vs. Lesnar at WrestleMania 32?
Gotta say. That was one crazy-ass week of pro-wrestling, son. Not only did WWE air a second May PPV, not only did Destination American announce that they'll be airing Ring of Honor, not only did Kevin Owens beat John Cena clean in the middle of the ring... Hang on, that one got me emotional...
...but Stone Cold returned to the WWE Network last night for one of his live podcasts. This time with Paul Heyman, a man he shares a ton of formative history with. I was wondering how the conversation would go considering that Heyman's been on Austin's regular podcast a few times and already has sat for very lengthy chats. Would there be anything left to talk about that a regular listener of the Steve Austin Show hadn't heard before? For the most part, a lot of it was rehash. Again, only for those who listen to Steve's regular gig.

New Info on 24 Spinoff With New Lead Character
24 executive producer Howard Gordon has shed some light on the upcoming 24 spinoff currently in development at FOX.
The spinoff will feature a "new twentysomething male terrorist hunter," Gordon told TVLine. The series will have the new lead character working alongside a veteran female agent.
Given the gender of that character description, that agent won't be Yvonne Strahovski’s Kate Morgan -- introduced in 24: Live Another Day -- but Gordon says Morgan, as well as Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer, may appear throughout the series. 24: Live Another Day's Manny Coto and Evan Katz are attached to the spinoff as executive producers and writers.
Another Diablo Character Coming to Heroes of the Storm
As Heroes of the Storm launches, Blizzard is bringing another character from Diablo III's Sanctuary: Johanna the Crusader.
In a recent trailer from Blizzard, Johanna uses the Light-based attacks and large flail the medium-ranged Diablo III class excels with. Another short glimpse of her abilities shows her throwing her Crusader shield a la Captain America, shortly before it returns to her like a boomerang.
Blizzard's new MOBA-style brawler launches today, and can be downloaded for free via Blizzard's website.

Destiny Update Increases Treasure Key Drop Rate
In Bungie's latest update to its first-person shooter, the developer addressed several grievances players have had with the House of Wolves expansion.
A number of update 1.2.0.2's fixes are focused on treasure keys, which players can use to score better loot in the Prison of Elders arena mode. First off, players can expect a higher treasure key drop rate from Ether Chests, which can be unlocked once specific Fallen are killed during Queen's Wrath bounties. Small chests at the end of Prison of Elders will also be more likely to include treasure keys. Lastly, and maybe most notably, the first Wanted Fallen Bounty completed each week guarantees a treasure key, according to Bungie's update details.

Steam Introduces Refunds
Valve has introduced a refund system to Steam, allowing anyone to request their money back for "nearly any purchase" made through the client itself.
Full refunds can be issued through your initial payment method when possible, or you can ask for Steam Wallet funds instead.
Almost everyone is free to request a refund via Steam's help page, but there are a few conditions. Refunds apply to games, software, pre-orders, DLC, and bundles, but not movies. If you have a VAC ban registered for the game you're trying to refund, your request will be denied for that specific game.
To apply for a refund, you must submit the request within two weeks of your purchase, and have less than two hours of playtime registered for that game.
