The first official photos from M. Night Shyamalan's Glass have been released, as well as behind the scenes photos of Bruce Willis.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusive photos of M. Night Shyamalan's Glass, the sequel to 2000's Unbreakable, showing Samuel L. Jackson's Elijah Price (aka Mr. Glass), James McAvoy's Split character Kevin, and Sarah Paulson as the doctor character.
The first poster for the movie was revealed last month and showed the three main characters side-by-side.
Nathan Fillion Might Be Teasing Something Uncharted Related
Actor Nathan Fillion took to Instagram this morning to make a cryptic post that seems to be teasing something related to Uncharted.
Fillion posted a picture of rapper Drake and captioned it "Sic Parvis Magna" ("Greatness From Small Beginnings") along with the date July 16. Nathan Drake is the name of the Uncharted game series' protagonist, while the Latin phrase Fillion wrote is the same one that's inscribed on Drake's ring in the game and served as a sort-of motto for the character after he lifted it from real-life British privateer Sir Francis Drake. As such, speculation has run rampant that Fillion might be starring in the Uncharted movie.

Friday the 13th is here, so what better way to commemorate this most terrifying of days than by watching 13 of the scariest movies Netflix has to offer.
According to a list provided to us by Netflix, these 13 movies are perfect for that Friday the 13th movie binge. To view the list, you can click through the slideshow below, or scroll down the page.

Even the clinical name for this inauspicious day is scary enough: paraskevidekatriaphobia. As the second Friday the 13th of the year looms, perhaps the unluckiness is mounting. Best to knock on wood, keep the salt close and eyes peeled for black cats and ladders!"

Funimation Is Bringing New Dragon Ball Super Movie to North American Theaters
Dragon Ball Super: Broly is officially coming to North American theaters in 2019.
Funimation Films has acquired the theatrical rights to the new Dragon Ball Super movie, which is set to hit U.S. and Canadian theaters in January 2019. Dragon Ball Super: Broly is the twentieth film in the franchise and is based on the story, screenplay and character designs of original creator Akira Toriyama.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly follows the events of Dragon Ball Super, which has the first new Dragon Ball storyline from Toriyama in more than 18 years. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z are largely based off of Toriyama's manga series, though his involvement in Dragon Ball GT was decidedly minimal.
The Bard’s Tale 4’s First Hour Reveals a Deeper RPG Than We Expected
I really liked what I played of Brian Fargo and inXile’s crowdfunded RPG The Bard’s Tale 4 a few months ago. It hinted at a very unique and potentially deep party- and turn-based combat system that role-playing fans would really be able to sink their teeth into. What I didn’t realize until my hands-on with the Kickstarter backer beta, however, is that what I saw last time was barely scratching the surface.
I played the opening hour of The Bard’s Tale IV and was pleasantly surprised at just how deep of an RPG it appears to be. It opened in a town square, with myriad NPCs roaming about to speak with – some of them offering sidequests to undertake. Visually, too, the reborn Bard’s Tale makes a wonderful first impression, with graphics that feel on par with games that have exponentially larger development budgets.
Shazam!: Dwayne Johnson Won’t Cameo as Black Adam
It seems Black Adam and Shazam won't be battling anytime soon.
Speaking to Syfy Wire, Dwayne Johnson confirmed he won't appear as the DC villain in Shazam! But he did reassure the Black Adam solo film is still very much in the works.
"I'm not in that one," Johnson said. "It's Shazam and Black Adam and, with the way the DC universe works, we should — in theory — meet up on the big screen. But who knows."
Shazam! was reported to be split into two movies last year, with the second focusing on Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam. Shazam! hits theaters on April 5, 2019 while Black Adam doesn't have a release date yet.
Fortnite Season 5 Introduces Golf, Basketball, and (Possibly) Volleyball
Just as everyone expected, Fortnite now has a golf simulator. OK, few (if any) fans expected new sports to play inside Fortnite, but that's exactly what they're doing now that Season 5 has begun.
Fortnite streamers and leakers DieBuddies posted a promotional image hinting at in-game golf early this morning before later posting that it was possible to play basketball, volleyball, and golf.
The trio of sports games are made possible through what Epic has dubbed "toys," which Polygon reports are unlocked by purchasing this season's Battle Pass and performing an emote that generates a basketball, golf ball, or volleyball (which looks more like a beach ball but is being called a volleyball by most players).
