Cameras are now rolling on Amazon MGM and Mattel's live-action Masters of the Universe movie in London, and THR brings word on three new additions to the cast.

Agatha All Along's Sasheer Zamata will play Suzie, Double Exposure actor Christian Vunipola will play Hussein, and Eternals stunt performer and The Brothers Sun actor Jon Xue Zhang will play Ram-Man.

Suzie and Hussein are most likely characters created for the movie (there's a good chance they will be friends of Adam on Earth), but Ram-Man should be very familiar to fans of the classic animated series and action figure line.

Sorceress, along with Witch, is one of two entirely magic-focused classes in Path of Exile 2. It's distinct from Witch in that, where Witch focuses on necromancy and summoning minions, Sorceress is all about elemental damage, with access to a varied arsenal of powerful spells. The tradeoff is their generally low defense and Hp, which means positioning, dodging, and healing are important elements to playing a successful sorceress.

But things get a little more difficult around Path of Exile 2's endgame. You'll face tougher enemies than ever before, on maps with more complicated mechanics and more brutal defeat conditions. You'll need a top-of-the-line Sorceress build to keep pace with all these endgame challenges, and knowing which skills, passives, and gear to take along with you is half the battle. If you're struggling with your endgame Sorceress build, here's a little advice to guide you in making the right choices.

Amazon MGM Studios is poised to swoop in and develop a live-action Masters of the Universe movie after Netflix had previously backed away from the project.

As reported by Variety, Amazon MGM is in very early talks for the rights to make the film, which is based on Mattel's famous 80s toys, after Masters of the Universe's development fell apart at Netflix over the summer. The plan is reportedly to release the film in theaters instead of straight to streaming. Netflix reportedly abandoned the project due to budgetary reasons. Adam and Aaron Nee (The Lost City), the writer-directors working on the film for Netflix, are believed to be continuing with the project, set to star Kyle Allen as Prince Adam/He-Man. Todd Black is among those attached to produce the movie.

Each of Diablo 4‘s five classes offer a worthwhile way to experience the game. Yes, some are more powerful than others, but the unique nature of each class’ playstyle makes it easy to argue for any of them when it comes to a “fun factor” debate. However, we now know what the most popular class in Diablo 4 is at the moment, and it really shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Diablo producer Rod Fergusson has been having a great time on Twitter since Diablo 4‘s recent release. Why shouldn’t he? The game has not only quickly garnered widespread critical acclaim but is, by all accounts, absurdly popular. Diablo 4 has already become the fastest-selling Blizzard game ever, and Fergusson even recently revealed that Diablo 4 continues to break its concurrent player count records.

That’s not all Fergusson revealed, though. Late last night, Fergusson seemingly broke PR protocol by confirming that...

Renown is a crucial resource that players are actively incentivized to gather in Diablo IV, with rewards not just for the current character but for the sake of their whole account. In addition, Renown in Diablo IV is a reputation system, representing how much the different factions within the game know and respect the player for everything they have done to help.

The five regions in Sanctuary currently available to players in Diablo IV each has its own faction and Renown score. As the player completes tasks in a Region, they'll be rewarded with a handful of Renown with the Region. One might think slaying monsters and defending the helpless would be worthy of reward, but Diablo IV goes beyond that. Players who want Renown can't just focus on earning skill points in Diablo IV; they need to go out and explore, discovering the world and destroying the great bastions...

At the height of the pandemic, Jess Williamson found herself taking long walks with her neighbor Natalie Mering, who performs as Weyes Blood. “I had met her in passing over the years, but we didn’t know each other,” says Williamson. “We were podded up, and we got to be really good friends.” Venturing around Los Feliz with Mering’s Pomeranian, Luigi, the songwriters discussed their upcoming music and dating, even starting a group text titled Ho Support. “We’d talk about boys and sorcery,” Mering says. “Mostly boys.”

In Diablo 4, players can gain skill points by leveling up with Xp and by completing Region Progress tiers. The quickest way to gain levels and earn skill points is by completing quests on higher-difficulty World Tiers. While killing bosses is a great way to farm loot, it isn't as efficient for gaining the Xp needed to get skill points. Every level rewards one skill point.

Not every Diablo 4 class will be available to play in either the Early Access Beta or the Open Beta, but the three included in early access, Rogue, Barbarian, and Sorceress, all level at relatively the same speed. However, AoE attacks will help players to gain Xp faster than more targeted attacks just through the quantity of kills. Killing can also give side quests, creating more potential Xp income.

Blizzard Entertainment's upcoming action roleplaying game Diablo 4 is launching on June 6 with five character classes available to play. The latest in the franchise, Diablo 4 has been long anticipated since its original announcement in 2019 and will follow the aftermath of events in Diablo 3. The game will feature a much darker and more hatred-filled world as players chase Lilith across Sanctuary to save humanity.

Diablo 4's character classes will feature customization options for players to add a personalized touch to the game, no matter which class they choose. Not only can the armor pieces be altered with transmogs and dyed to various colors, but the game will allow for changing of facial features, hairstyles, jewelry, makeup, and more. Some of these will be class specific to remain true to the backstory that they represent, but overall there will be a large assortment of changes that players can make to their characters.

Before your Lost Ark journey properly begins, you’re going to have to answer the question that is already stumping millions of players: “What is the best class in the game for me?”

So far as that goes, Lost Ark is one of those RPGs that benefits from shockingly well-balanced classes that all bring something interesting to the table. Whether you’re a PvE player, a PvP player, or like to dive into both modes, it’s easy enough to pick the Lost Ark class that just “feels” right to you and learn to do well with them. You’re almost always better off picking the class that you enjoy playing the most over a class that you don’t really enjoy but suspect might be “better.”

However, I completely understand if you want to go into Lost Ark with at least a slightly better understanding of where every class stands in the overall rankings.

Zaven Najjar’s animated road movie will teeter between drama and black comedy, telling an epic tale akin to Kirikou and the Sorceress and oozing Persepolis-like satire.

Diablo 4 is real. Here's everything you need to know:

Diablo 4 has officially been confirmed at Blizzcon 2019. 

The opening trailer for the game shows adventurers wandering into a dark and ominous dungeon. At the end of their journey, they come to a room of sacrifice where we watch the torturously slow calling of Lilith, the daughter of Mephisto, Lord of Hatred. It's a stunning trailer that represents why Blizzard is still considered to be one of the absolute best when it comes to creating compelling cinematics. 

As previously rumored, Diablo 4 is going to be a much darker and grittier game than what we saw in Diablo 3. The game's designers have already spoken about how it will feature more of the hardcore gothic horror elements featured in the first two Diablo titles. The first Diablo 4 gameplay trailer only confirms the return to that hardcore aesthetic.

With the recent successes of such TV series as "American Horror Story," "Hannibal" and Showtime's "Penny Dreadful," horror is hot on the small-screen right now -- so much so that in addition to MTV's forthcoming small-screen "Scream" spinoff, TV studios are in the midst of bringing a horde of cinematic fright-film properties to television, ranging from "Shutter Island" to "The Devil's Advocate" to "The Mist." In light of this, I've taken a look back at eight previous horror movie-to-tv translations and analyzed why they hit -- or didn't -- with audiences. "Bates Motel" (A&E) Based on: "Psycho" Aired: 2013-present Why it did (or didn't) work:a great pedigree ("Lost" showrunner Carlton Cuse), a terrific cast (Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore) and generally positive critical notices gave "Bates Motel" a sheen of respectability that worked well in this Golden Age of prestige television. The show has so far aired three successful seasons...

Early in the second episode of AMC's "Breaking Bad" prequel "Better Call Saul!," our hero Jimmy McGill — who will one day go by Saul Goodman — is taken out into the desert and threatened by someone who in the future will tangle with the man called Heisenberg. "Saul" creators Vince Gilligan (the man responsible for "Breaking Bad" in the first place) and Peter Gould (who wrote the episode that introduced Saul Goodman) have been very candid about how long it took them to figure out exactly what this new show would be. Sequel or prequel? Comedy or drama? Half-hour or hour? Everything seemed a possibility, and watching Saul cower in the New Mexico sun before a familiar "Breaking Bad" villain, I wondered if Gilligan and Gould had simply taken the path of least resistance and decided to wedge actor Bob Odenkirk into a kind of "Young Walter White Chronicles," simply giving...

I wasn't sure what to expect, putting this film in. Seth, the gent who runs MoreHorror, simply asked, “would you like to review Starry Eyes?” – what he really asked was, “would you like a free movie?” – of course, I'm going to say “yes”.

Just in time for Halloween, MTV has ordered a TV show based on the Scream horror franchise - though the Ghostface killer who so memorably terrorised the victims of Wes Craven's film series will notably be absent.

It seems that horror cinema remains a rich vein for television producers to tap. On top of the Scream news, it was reported back in August that NBC is working on its own version of Satanic thriller The Devil's Advocate.

But translating big-screens scares for television can be a tricky process and only a few movie chillers have survived the move in one piece.
