Left Behind Sequel Crowdfunding for Financial Support
A sequel to the 2014 Left Behind film starring Nic Cage, not to be confused with the trilogy of 'End Times' films of the same name starring Kirk Cameron, is currently seeking crowdfunding online.
Left Behind producer Paul Lalonde has launched an Indiegogo campaign in an effort to raise $500,000 to finance a followup to the Revelations-inspired film that was panned by critics when it hit select theaters last year.
There are still 27 days left in the campaign, and as of this writing, just over $55,000 has been raised. Those who contribute $25 will get a digital version of the film when it comes to VOD, while a $50 donation will get you a Blu-ray/DVD hard copy.

Bloodborne Player Completes Hardest Challenge in Game
One brave gamer has managed to complete Bloodborne's Chalice Dungeon using a completely unleveled Waste of Skin character.
According to a tip from one of our readers, YouTube user JoeFenix appears to be "the first person in the world to have cleared the whole of Chalice dungeon, including the Defiled Chalice dungeon (which halves your already miserable pool of health)." You can watch him defeat the secret boss, Yarnham, Pthumerian Queen, below.
We reached out to JoeFenix and learned it took him about 25 tries to defeat the Yarnham boss. "There's just alot that can go wrong in a fight like that, off screen attacks that kill you in one hit due to your low hp count and the fact that the boss fights tended to last quite a long time due to my low damage output relative to their vitality," he said. "It's high risk, low reward so you feel like you're constantly fighting for scraps."

Is The Last Man on Earth a Villain?
The Last Man on Earth has been a success out of the gate for FOX and the show just got renewed for Season 2 this past week. But one thing that has surprised many (and polarized some) is that lead character Phil (Wlll Forte) has not been the most likable fellow in recent weeks – as he continually tried to push away his wife, Carol (Kristen Schaal), sleep with Melissa (January Jones) and get rid of Todd (Mel Rodriguez).
Forte, who created the series, and his fellow executive producers Chris Miller and Phil Lord (The LEGO Movie, 21 Jump Street), sat down with press to discuss where they’ve taken Phil at WonderCon last weekend, mere days before the show was renewed, and their very intentional plan to make him darker – at least for awhile.
