The trailer is filmed mainly as if you’re seeing it through someone’s eyes, and it strongly reminds viewers of the famous playable teaser the director created for the cancelled Silent Hills game on PlayStation 4.
The movie, animated by ABC Animation Studio in Japan, is using a striking, comic book-inspired visual style.
Here is the poster and logo:
The film features Hideo Kojima as producer, Hiroshi Miyamoto directing, and Aaron Guzikowski writing the script. It will follow a brand new lead character, distinct from Sam Porter Bridges, the hero of the *Death Stranding* video game series.
The game “KNOCK” blends Hideo Kojima’s take on horror with input from writer Jordan Peele. Gameplay footage shows text cards with hidden words, hinting at a story set ten years after a frightening event, where those affected are experiencing trouble ‘once again.’ The main character, played by Sophia Lillis, receives a card instructing her to ‘light the fires’ as part of a celebration.
I remember when I first played *PT* – it was seriously terrifying and such a cool glimpse into what could have been the next *Silent Hill*! It’s still a huge bummer that game never happened, but I was so excited when Hideo Kojima announced he was working on a new horror game, *OD*, with Xbox and Jordan Peele. It’s been really quiet about *OD* though, and honestly, it felt like *Death Stranding 2* took over as his main focus for a while. I’m still hoping we’ll hear more about *OD* eventually!
Stephen King has seen the sequel to *The Black Phone* and shared his enthusiastic reaction on X (formerly Twitter). He posted, “It’s not as good as the first one. IT’S BETTER!” along with a promotional image of the film, which features Ethan Hawke and a chilling, snow-covered mask. The movie, directed by Scott Derrickson, is scheduled to be released on October 17, 2025.
Viewers are impressed with how much better Marvel Zombies looks compared to What If…?, especially with the animation. The show’s overall style is really grabbing people’s attention, and a recently released poster is being called some of Marvel’s best R-rated artwork yet. Marvel Zombies is part of a growing number of mature-rated projects from Marvel Studios, alongside series like Echo and Daredevil: Born Again, and the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, which is already expected to be a big hit with mature audiences.
Even though not all the top teams participated, the tournament still included strong contenders like Falcons, The MongolZ, and G2 Esports competing for a $500,000 prize. It started with 16 teams in a preliminary round, but only the best eight advanced to the Playoffs.
