Gaumont, the company behind hits like Lupin, Narcos, and The Fifth Element, is launching a new limited series called Unfamiliar. Set in Berlin, the six-episode show blends the classic ‘safe house’ thriller with action-packed sequences and compelling family drama. Originally planned for a 2025 release, Unfamiliar will now premiere worldwide on February 5th.
James Gunn responded on Threads to questions about actor Elliot Page and his potential involvement in the DC Universe, stating he’s unsure why Page’s name is being brought up. Gunn also commented that he hasn’t seen evidence of the promised ‘riots’ some people were predicting. He added that he likes Grant Gustin. Page, known for roles in films like Juno and as Kitty Pryde in the X-Men series, was never rumored to be considered for the role of The Flash. Many replies to Gunn’s post indicated that the threats of unrest stemmed from transphobic reactions.
With Solo Leveling currently on hold due to its anime and webtoon breaks, a new series called Tomb Raider King is emerging with a strikingly similar protagonist, weapon, and quest for powerful artifacts. The Korean-produced anime is set to launch this summer and has released a first-look trailer and poster, aiming to establish its own identity and appeal to fans awaiting the return of Solo Leveling.
What truly sets these shows apart isn’t just how well they’re made or how visually impressive they are, but their ability to genuinely connect with people. They surprise you, make you feel something, and often leave you thinking about them long afterward. Even as tastes change and animation evolves, the important ideas in these classics stay powerful and relevant.
What truly makes Thor a captivating character isn’t just his incredible strength – which puts him on par with someone like Kratos – but also the difficult past that shaped him. A game that tells Thor’s origin story, showing a similar journey of struggle and transformation as Kratos, would be a great way to highlight this depth. With Ryan Hurst, who voices Thor, now playing Kratos in the new Amazon series, now is the perfect time to create that game.
I still remember when the Fantastic Four came back from those crazy Secret Wars 42 years ago today! For years, it had always been the Richards-Storm family and Ben Grimm – he was basically one of us. But then Fantastic Four #265 hit the stands, and suddenly, She-Hulk was joining the team! It was a big change, but honestly, I was excited to see what she’d bring to the group.
Look, I’m a huge George R.R. Martin fan, and I recently read his comments about the show adaptations. He admitted he has an ego, which, honestly, any creator would! What really struck me was his desire for faithfulness to his original work – he built this incredible world, Westeros, and naturally wants to be involved and have his vision respected. Apparently, Warner Bros. – who technically own the rights now – isn’t always giving him that. HBO’s Francesca Orsi has said they’ll consider his input, but ultimately do what they think is best for the show. It sounds like some of the changes they made with House of the Dragon didn’t sit well with him, and I can totally understand why – it’s his world, after all!
It’s been almost three years since those initial announcements, and honestly, it’s frustrating – we still have no idea when we’ll actually see any of these new Star Wars films. Kathleen Kennedy, before leaving her role at Lucasfilm, let slip that Dawn of the Jedi is currently stalled. And it sounds like Dave Filoni’s movie might be too, now that he’s stepped into a leadership position at the studio. What’s really strange is that Kennedy didn’t mention New Jedi Order – the Rey movie – during her recent interview with Deadline when talking about projects in the works. You’d think a film starring Rey would be a huge priority, so her silence almost feels like confirmation of those rumors about where her story is headed.
With the release of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties approaching, Yakuza 3 Remastered will no longer be sold separately on the PlayStation Store, Steam, or Microsoft Store. It will only be available as part of the Yakuza Complete Series bundle, which costs $129, a significant increase from the previous $19.99 price. A physical copy of the Yakuza Remastered Collection, which includes the game, is available for around $29.99, but this could lead to limited availability of the physical edition in the future.
The story starts with Aegon’s Conquest, and all dates are counted from that event, marked as “AC” (After Conquest). House of the Dragon is set over a century after the Conquest, while Game of Thrones takes place nearly 300 years later, after the Targaryen dynasty is finished. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms falls somewhere in between those two time periods.
