So, I was reading Screen Daily about David Heyman and his company, Heyday Films, and they asked about the future of the franchise. Apparently, there’s no firm plan yet for when the next movie will actually happen. Heyman explained that Denis Villeneuve is still deep in filming Dune 3, so everything is on hold until that’s further along.
The Steam Deck is starting to show its age and isn’t as powerful as some of the newer handheld gaming PCs available. This means it can’t run certain games that other handhelds can. But, if you choose a more powerful Windows-based handheld and install SteamOS on it, you can enjoy the benefits of both platforms.

I’m so excited – the final part of the Attack on Titan movie saga, Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter – The Last Attack, is hitting Japanese theaters January 9th!

If you’re not in Japan, don’t worry, the regular version starts showing on January 16th. Now, the big question is… will this amazing remaster come to North America? I’m really hoping it does – fingers crossed!
As a huge film and TV fan, revisiting The Wire after all these years has been a revelation. Without the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia, and having seen so much television since then, plus how the real world has evolved, it honestly feels like a completely different show than it did when it first aired.

While some films brilliantly adapt books like The Godfather, Fight Club, and Little Women, many others miss the mark by changing the story’s feel, simplifying characters, or speeding through the plot. However, it’s not always the filmmakers’ fault. Books have the space – whether a few hundred or many pages – to build detailed worlds, delve into characters’ thoughts, and add layers of meaning. Movies, in contrast, have limited time – usually around two hours – plus budget constraints and the need to attract a broad audience.
