Attack the Block director Joe Cornish has said that he hopes the sequel will go into production in 2022.

Talking to comedian Richard Herring on episode 351 of his Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, Cornish said “We’re gonna make it - I hope - next year.”

The topic came up after an audience member asked about what was happening with Attack the Block. Cornish offered no further details.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Cornish and Boyega were reuniting for Attack the Block 2. Cornish will once again write and direct, and Boyega will also produce this time alongside reprising his role as Moses.

Attack the Block is a brilliantly fun B-movie treat, effortlessly combining sci-fi, horror, and British working class stories together. It was highly praised in our review back in 2011. Starring a young John Boyega in the leading role, it’s also a showcase of Jodie Whitaker and Nick Frost’s talents.

Call of Duty: Warzone's new Pacific map debuts on December 2, a little less than a month after Call of Duty: Vanguard launches on November 5.

Activision released Call of Duty's new content roadmap on Thursday, laying out the important dates that will lay the groundwork for transitioning players from Verdansk to the sandy shores of Caldera. Several new images of Caldera were also revealed.

It's all laid out in Call of Duty's colossal blog, but here are the highlights you need to know.

October 28 (console) and November 2 (PC): Call of Duty: Vanguard pre-loading begins. If you're worried that your hard drive will choke on yet another Call of Duty install, the good news is that Vanguard will be 30% to 50% smaller than previous games' install sizes. Still sounds like a good chunk of storage space, though.

November 5: Call of Duty: Vanguard launches on consoles and PC. That includes the campaign, multiplayer, and zombies modes. This is also when Call of Duty's new kernel-level anti-cheat program "Ricochet" will begin server-side implementation. Warzone's Ricochet implementation begins on December 2.

November 5 to December 2: Preseason in Vanguard. This includes a new Vanguard map on November 17.

November 18: Call of Duty: Warzone's Operation: Flashback event begins. This is described as an "encore" limited-time event that celebrates Verdansk's 18 months of service. Players can earn a unique emblem just for participating and an animated calling card for winning their match.

November 24: You can unlock the "secrets of the Pacific" and get intel on the Caldera map by completing Warzone and Vanguard multiplayer challenges.

November 30 and December 1: The "Last Hours of Verdansk" event. Activision is teasing the event saying "bombs away," suggesting we'll see a fairly destructive wiping of the slate before Caldera goes lives. Considering they've already nuked Verdansk once, one wonders how much bigger the bombs can get.

December 2: Call of Duty Season One begins in Vanguard and Warzone. Vanguard players will receive access to new multiplayer maps, 24 hours of exclusive access to Warzone, and Warzone launches the new Pacific map Caldera. Players will also be able to purchase a new battle pass and will receive two free "functional" weapons.

Vanguard will also see some integration in Call of Duty: Black Ops' and vice versa. All operators and calling cards from Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare will transfer to Warzone, including cross-progression and seasonal prestige.

Certain weapons from Black Ops and Modern Warfare will be integrated into certain Warzone playlists. This currently includes Rebirth Island playlists like Resurgence and Mini Royales, along with regular Battle Royale and Plunder modes. All of the 150+ weapons unlocked in previous seasons will integrate with Warzone Pacific as well.

A bevy of new images of Warzone Pacific's Caldera map was also revealed. Check out the gallery below for a look at the mountainous heights and sandy depths we'll be visiting for our next battle royale win. Activision says it'll feature more than 200 points of interest for players to discover.

Don't forget to check out our massive Call of Duty: Vanguard preview coverage. We recently got a behind-the-scenes look at Vanguard's campaign, plus a look at how God of War composer Bear McCreary is bringing his signature musical style to Call of Duty's firefights.

Director Edgar Wright jokingly said he wants to play the next iteration of The Doctor on Doctor Who.

Speaking to Slash Film about if he would ever step behind the camera for an episode of the beloved sci-fi show, Wright said he was given a chance to direct an episode of the revived series back in the early 2000s. Then-showrunner Russell T. Davies gave Wright an offer to direct the pilot, but Wright was working on Shaun of the Dead at the time.

Now, with the huge news that Davies is returning to the showrunner role for the show's 60th anniversary, Wright has been asked if he hopes to direct an episode. While he couldn't say either way if that's going to become a reality, he did say, "Can I be The Doctor? If the headline is 'Edgar Wright Would Like to Play 14th Doctor', I'd go along with that." So here we are.

Update 10/28 4:27 pm PT: While Wright was clearly joking and presumably would not give up his day job of a critically-acclaimed director, he did say he would recommend Richard Ayoade for the role as The Doctor.

To be clear, I was kidding. But I nominate @RichardAyoade x https://t.co/ojW90344Xr

Wright is known for directing movies including Shaun of the Dead and Baby Driver. His latest film, Last Night in Soho, stars Doctor Who alumn, Matt Smith.

Current Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall is leaving the show after 2022, along with the current Doctor, Jodie Whittaker. Davies, who was the showrunner for the revival's first 4 seasons starring Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant, will return for the 60th anniversary episode and seasons beyond that, according to the BBC. We don't yet know who will succeed Whittaker as the Timelord.

You'd be forgiven if, glancing through Ubisoft's earnings announcements today, you didn't immediately catch onto yet another game delay stealthily snuck in: it's Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland.

When free-to-play Heartland was first announced back in May of this year, it was given a broad release window of sometime either this year or next year. Just a few days later, Ubisoft clarified that a bit to fiscal 2021 - 2022, meaning the period from April 2021 running up to March 2022.

Heartland skipped E3 earlier this year, and Ubisoft seemed quiet on it during its last quarterly earnings, leaving some wondering if it wasn't about time to start showing the game off a bit more if it was indeed coming this fiscal year. Turns out, it is not. Ubisoft's latest quarterly earnings report stated that Heartland would join Prince of Persia and Rocksmith+ in the following fiscal year running from April 2022 to March of 2023.

Notably, both Prince of Persia and Rocksmith have, at last report, been scheduled for sometime in calendar 2022. We haven't heard specific word on whether these will edge back further into 2023, but Ubisoft does appear to be giving itself some wiggle room there.

Ubisoft does this kind of thing a lot. Rainbow Six Extraction, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, and Watch Dogs: Legion were all delayed back in 2019, and then Extraction was delayed again. Riders Republic, out today, underwent multiple delays, Far Cry 6 was pushed back, as was Avatar, Skull & Bones' has been delayed again and again since it was revealed in 2017, and when Ghost Recon Frontline was announced earlier this month, its beta was promptly delayed a week later.

The upcoming National Treasure series in development for Disney Plus has cast Lisette Alexis in its lead role. Alexis recently acted in the horror film We Need to Do Something, and the drama series Total Eclipse.

Deadline reports Alexis will play Jess Morales, the main character in search of answers about her family, as well as a lost Pan-American treasure. Production on the show will start early next year.

Earlier this year, Disney ordered 10 episodes of the National Treasure show. Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of the National Treasure movie series, and original writers Marianne and Cormac Wibberley are working on the show. Bruckheimer has previously explained the TV series as, "the same concept but a young cast."

Previous reports on the show said it, "explores the timely issues of identity, community, historical authorship and patriotism, told from the point of view of Jess Morales," who we now know will be played by Alexis.

As for the original cast from National Treasure and its sequel, Book of Secrets, Nicolas Cage and other familiar faces have a chance to return in the long-awaited National Treasure 3. The threequel has been rumored since way back in 2008, and was confirmed to be in development last year.

Universal Pictures and Epic Games are partnering up together to create an original short-form miniseries called "We Will Be Monsters." The first episode will drop on October 28 inside Fortnite as part of the game's Shortnitemares Festival. It will reimagine the Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula.

"We Will Be Monsters" takes Universal's iconic characters from works like the Bride of Frankenstein and The Mummy and adapts them to modern times. The original Universal monster movies were focused on European origins, but now this new miniseries will go global and feature locations such as Hong Kong, Morocco, Los Angeles, and Lagos.

“This is another manifestation of our monsters, and they have never been depicted this diverse,” says Abhijay Parkash, the president of Universal Filmed Entertainment Group.

Furthermore, Rick Famuyiwa will direct the Universal Monsters x Fortnite miniseries. Famuyiwa has directed several episodes of The Mandalorian and was chosen because of his involvement with working within high-tech, virtual sets as well as his own unique interpretations of the Universal Monsters characters.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, after the drop of the initial episode, Fortnite players will be able to buy the skins of these characters and use them in the game. The first skin available will be the Bride of Frankenstein one, with episodes two through four planned to be released sometime early in 2022.

Other horror-themed skins released as part of this year's Fortnitemares include Jill and Chris from Resident Evil and Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead.

Age of Empires 4 was released to strong critical praise today and it's led to a strong player count on Steam which is certainly off to a great start.

Age of Empires 4 reached a concurrent player count of 54,239 people on Steam as of 10:36 AM PT on Thursday, according to SteamDB. That places it comfortably above Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition's all-time peak player count of 38,725 people.

That of course doesn't count the number of players playing it on Game Pass for PC or through the Microsoft Store, which Microsoft hasn't released info on as of yet.

Compared to other popular Steam titles and Age of Empire 4's 54,000 players are still pretty impressive. Relic's new strategy game is currently beating Rainbow Six Siege's current player count of 46,000 and Rocket League's 45,000. Next highest on SteamDB's player count chart is Korean MMO MIR4, Rust, Dead by Daylight, and Grand Theft Auto 5.

As of 10:45 AM PT, Age of Empires 4 is the 12th most-played game on Steam. Not bad for one of the best RTS franchises on PC, and one that only just released today. Microsoft certainly laid the groundwork by releasing "Definitive Edition" HD remasters of all three Age of Empires games over the past three years.

IGN reviewer Leana Hafer called Age of Empires 4 "an enjoyable RTS throwback that often plays it too safe, but excels when it doesn't," noting its expansive campaign and unique factions like the Mongols and Rus.
