That’s what it said on the big screens in the room when The Purge hit San Diego Comic-Con today, though this time it was the TV version of the popular horror franchise that producer Jason Blum and creator James DeMonaco were touting.

Constantine Shakes Up the Legends of Tomorrow in Season 4 Trailer
DC's Legends of Tomorrow gave fans a sneak peek at Season 4 during the show's Saturday Comic-Con panel, teasing what the dynamic will be like when John Constantine (Matt Ryan) joins the team. And with the release of Mallus - and countless other creatures - at the end of last season, magic and monsters will very much be a part of Season 4. As the trailer shows, there's even a unicorn.
Check out the Season 4 trailer below:
The biggest news from the panel is that Season 4 will also see Nate "reconnecting with a father he's been estranged from" for most of his life, who will be played by Back to the Future's Biff, aka Tom Wilson.
And while Maisie Richardson-Sellers will still be a season regular despite Amaya going back to the past, the actress revealed that she won't be playing Amaya next season, instead she'll be Charlie, one of the "magical fugitives" who slips through the mystical door the Legends opened. "She's British, she's a rebel without a cause, she's a trickster, she's on her own mission," she teased. "The Legends stumble upon her and have to decide whether she's friend or foe... she's been locked up for as long as she can remember, she's going to shake the ship up again."
Trailer Debut: RZA’s New Movie Cut Throat City
When Marvel takes the year off from Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, it only makes sense that RZA would step in to help fill the space! He's of course known for his work with the Wu-Tang Clan and as a rapper, musician and record producer, but he's also an actor and director, having made his helming debut with The Man with the Iron Fists in 2012. And now RZA has a new movie coming out called Cut Throat City.
The filmmaker was on hand to talk about Cut Throat City along with castmembers Shameik Moore, Wesley Snipes, Demetrius Shipp Jr., Denzel Whitaker, Keean Johnson and Kat Graham to show off the trailer from the film.
Cut Throat City tells the story of four childhood friends from New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward who return to the city after Hurricane Katrina. Having lost everything, they wind up working for a local criminal and are tasked with taking on a heist. But things aren’t as simple as they seem…

Warning. FULL SPOILERS for Arrow Season 6 below.
At Comic-Con 2018, the CW revealed a new trailer for Season 7 of Arrow, showing a somber-looking Oliver imprisoned after the events of the Season 6 finale. You can check out the trailer below:
During the Panel, Stephen Amell foreshadowed the trials that Oliver will have to endure in "prison with a bunch of people that he put in prison." Amell said this is going to be a much darker version of the titular hero, because "There's nothing heroic about him at all," Amell said, adding, "I really hope the premiere really pisses you off."

How the Director of the Metal Gear Movie Would Make a Zelda Movie
Note: This article was originally published on July 21, 2018 during San Diego Comic-Con, but in light of recent news that Castlevania producer Adi Shankar may be making a Legend of Zelda TV series, we've repromoted it to highlight another filmmaker's take on the idea.
Speaking on IGN’s Comic-Con live show about his upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie, we asked director Jordan Vogt-Roberts for his take on how he would make a Zelda movie if he had the opportunity.
“The thing about Zelda is Zelda is not Lord of the Rings, right? You cannot forget how quirky and bizarre Zelda is,” Vogt-Roberts said. “I think you need to find a way to actually fuse the traditional Zelda and the very new Zelda,”
Metal Gear Solid Movie Director Shares First Script Details
Speaking with IGN during our Comic-Con live show, Metal Gear Solid movie director Jordan Vogt-Roberts shared details on the plot of the now complete script.
“We’re not exactly adapting something verbatim as ‘this game,’ but we’re also not just going to throw it out in a crazy Dark Tower way that it completely disregards why fans love the thing,” Vogt-Roberts said that Kojima even encouraged him to branch out, literally telling him “Do what I would do, betray your audience.”
You can watch the full interview below:
While Vogt-Roberts said that’s “a very Kojima-San thing to say,” he explained his own goals for adaptation, saying “My goal really is to try and translate what the fans want and expect, and to really take the unwieldy, amazing, decades-spanning timeline and have a way to make part of that make sense as a film.”
