Eastwood May Team with Hill & DiCaprio
American Sniper helmer Clint Eastwood is reportedly circling the director's job on Fox's upcoming film about Richard Jewell, the security guard who was suspected of being a terrorist after discovering a suspicious backpack during the '96 Olympics.
Jewell will be played by Jonah Hill (21 Jump Street), while Jewell's lawyer may be played by Hill's fellow The Wolf of Wall Street star Leonardo DiCaprio.
Deadline reports that Eastwood's loyalty to Warner Bros. could be a potential hurdle to a deal. Fox and Warners are reportedly attempting to come to an agreement that would see the two companies co-produce the film, therefore opening the door for Eastwood to direct. Paul Greengrass and David O. Russell are among the directors who have previously flirted with the project, which was once called American Nightmare.

CS:GO Update Nerfs AWP Movement
Operation Vanguard is over, but not without fanfare. A new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update was pushed yesterday, bringing several changes both large and small to the game's weapons, maps, and more.
First off, tagging values have been updated to the point where they've provided a guide to explain how the system works. Read it on the Steam Community page.
Among the tweaks made to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's arsenal is a decrease in players' scoped movement speed with the AWP and Autosnipers, effectively making peeking around corners while zoomed-in a riskier move.
