Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has officially gone gold, signaling that Kojima Productions has wrapped up development and the game is ready for its June 26 release. Naturally, the team is now taking a well-deserved break, except for one person: Hideo Kojima.

The legendary director has already moved on to his next project, as he casually revealed during a recent episode of his KOJI10 radio show. The announcement surprised even his staff, but then again, when has Kojima ever followed the rules?

Hideo Kojima’s gold moment isn’t a green light for the rest

In the world of game development, “going gold” usually signals the completion of the project and brings a moment of rest, relief, and maybe even celebration. For Kojima Productions, Death Stranding 2 reaching this milestone should have been exactly that.

But on his KOJI10 podcast (translated by Genki_JPN), Kojima shared that while his team is taking a break,...

Paris-based sales company Urban Sales has picked up international rights to “The Doll,” a romantic comedy featuring Vincent Macaigne (“Maria”), Cécile de France (“The New Pope”) and Zoé Marchal (“Overdose”) as a love triangle.

“The Doll” is produced by Novoprod Cinéma, the company behind the Cesar-winning film “Full time,” and “Love me Tender,” which is world premiering at Cannes. Blending heartwarming comedy and fantasy, the film stars Macaigne as Rémi, synthetic turf seller who has been sharing his life with a life-sized doll named Audrey (Marchal) ever since his last breakup which left him heartbroken. When Patricia (de France), a temp worker, joins his company, Audrey mysteriously comes to life, setting off a series of surreal and transformative events that will shake up Rémi’s life for the better.

Hideo Kojima is one of the most respected figures in the gaming industry, and is the mastermind behind some of our favorite franchises like Metal Gear Solid. But not all of our praise for him is because of the games he has made, it’s because of his beliefs and visions for Kojima Productions, the studio he founded in 2015 after separating from Konami.

The new studio went on to find huge success and Kojima has even admitted over the years that he receives “ridiculously high” buyout offers from companies all over the world. But you know what his response to that has been? No. If you’re wondering why, it’s for creative freedom. He has made it clear that as long as he is alive, Kojima Productions will never be sold.

Hideo Kojima will always...

The latest movie from director Olivier Marchal, also creator of the show Blood Coast, stars Victor Belmondo investigating the gruesome murders of two of his former colleagues on his own.

For close to three decades, writer, actor, and director Olivier Marchal has enjoyed a steady career as one of the most in-demand talents for gritty crime dramas and thrillers in France. His newest movie, Squad 36, has been produced by his longtime studio, Gaumont, for Netflix and is his second movie produced directly for streamers, after Overdose, produced for Prime Video in 2022. A former police detective himself, Marchal is also fond of carrying gritty French novels to the screen, this time with the book Flic Requiem by Michel Tourscher. The movie is set in the elite anti-criminal unit Bri, and Marchal dedicates the movie to some of his acquaintances who have worked within the unit. This tale of corruption,...

“Squad 36” is a Netflix film starring Victor Belmondo, Tewfik Jallab, Yvan Attal and directed by Olivier Marchal.

Today marks the arrival of a French thriller that always pleases the audience while not leaving an excessive mark: a police story with a good plot, solid development, and characters with depth.

Directed by Olivier Marchal, “Squad 36” offers a raw and intense look into the world of Parisian law enforcement. Marchal, known for his gritty police thrillers like “Overdose” and “36th Precinct,” is no stranger to exploring the dark intricacies of police work. With “Squad 36,” he adapts Michel Tourscher’s novel “Flic Requiem” to the screen, creating a narrative that delves into the complexities and moral ambiguities of modern policing.

Plot

The story follows Antoine Cerda, a high-ranking police officer played by Victor Belmondo, grandson of the legendary Jean-Paul Belmondo. Cerda is transferred to the Anti-Crime Brigade after being sanctioned by the General Inspection.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston captured the world’s attention as one of the most high-profile Hollywood power couples in the early 2000s. Their love affair began in the late 1990s and led to a beautiful beachside wedding in 2000.

The central struggle of Netflix’s French action thriller, Ad Vitam, hinges upon the age-old question of whether the concept of nationalism equates loyalty to the state or to the ones who control the power dynamics of the state. While the execution of the theme left much to be desired due to a lackluster script, the performance by the ensemble cast was strong enough to keep the audience entertained.

Franck Lazarev Played By Guillaume Canet

French actor, director, and screenwriter Guillaume Canet has been active in the movie industry for over the last three decades and has starred in acclaimed movies like the crime noir Next Time, I’ll Aim for the Heart, the adventure drama titled The Beach, and the thrilling Tell No One, which was also directed by him.

Under Paris, a shark thriller from genre regular Xavier Gens, was released through the Netflix streaming service on June 5th (you can read our review Here) and turned out to have the best launch for a non-English language film on Netflix, drawing in more than 102.3 million views. So it’s no surprise to hear, via Variety, that a sequel is in development. Both Gens and star Bérénice Bejo, who received an Oscar nomination for her role in the 2011 silent film The Artist, are expected to return for Under Paris 2. Bejo has even been quoted as saying that the sequel would begin filming in September of next year, but Variety’s sources cautioned that the project is still in early stages and might not make it into production until 2026.

Under Paris was so successful, Gens was already being asked about a sequel just nine days after the movie was released. At that time,...

Prime Video France has unveiled its slate of new originals and co-production titles, ranging from series, movies and unscripted shows. These include some sexy, comedic and action-packed titles such as “Culte – 2be3,” Yael Langmann’s series about the famed 1990’s French boys band; “Glamsquad” by Rebecca Zlotowski; Gaumont’s thriller “Carjarkers;” and new comedy format “Liars Club.” The service has also boarded season 2 of “Escort Boys” and war thriller “Dark Hearts,” as well as picked up Nick Cassavetes’ “Marked Men.”

“Glamsquad” is being developed by French filmmaker Rebecca Zlotowski whose latest film “Other People’s Children” competed at the Venice Film Festival in 2022.

Zlotowski will direct the series which will take place in Paris and other iconic locations,...

The upcoming game from Hideo Kojima in collaboration with the world renowned actor and filmmaker Jordan Peele fell victim to the most unjust criticism shared by one of the fans. The criticism was following the development of Kojima’s new game based on the people who are working on it behind the scenes.

The next game from Kojima productions titled Od (Overdose), is a horror game published by Xbox Game Studios. The game will be starring Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier. It has been written by Jordan Peele and Hideo Kojima.

Recently, a Reddit user bashed the game by calling it a LGBTQ propaganda since it stars a transgender activist actor.

Bryan Craig’s recent return to General Hospital as a vision of Morgan in his dad Sonny’s mind was far too fleeting for the fans. However, he still remains in their hearts as they hold out hope that he’ll return for a longer stretch. In the meantime, Craig has been open with his followers and shared a personal story about an awful incident he had when he needed painkillers.

Botched Surgery Caused Tremendous Pain

Craig appeared on the August 11 episode of castmate Maurice Benard’s (Sonny) YouTube series, State of Mind, recorded in front of a live audience. He discussed his life and career and explained that in dealing with the pandemic and later the actor’s strike, he chose to go running at the beach to clear his head — even though he doesn’t like running — but managed to work his way up to one and a half miles on average.

Hideo Kojima, the legendary game designer known for his innovative storytelling and cinematic approach to video games, has made the news again. He’s out and about, potentially collecting actors once again, with his latest catch being Hollywood’s scream queen, Mia Goth!

Kojima, who attended the premiere of Goth’s upcoming film MaXXXine, posted pictures from the event, including a snapshot of the actress herself. Unsurprisingly, the internet burst into a frenzy, with many fans begging him to put her into his next game.

Hideo Kojima and Mia Goth, aka a Meeting of Creative Minds A collaboration between these two could not happen any sooner.

Hideo Kojima‘s fascination with the world of cinema is well-documented. Playing through any of his games will show you the same, or you can scroll through his X/Twitter, which has the same effect.

His games often blur the lines between films and interactive entertainment,...

Under Paris, a shark thriller from genre regular Xavier Gens, was released through the Netflix streaming service on June 5th (you can read our review Here) – and today, a judge will be deciding whether or not a parasitism lawsuit that has been filed against the filmmakers will be enough to get the movie removed from Netflix for a while. But in its nine days of release, Under Paris has already proven to be enough of a hit that Gens and producers might start having sequel talks soon.

When asked if there’s a sequel in the pipeline, Gens told Variety, “Right now, as of today, we’re not on it but there’s a chance that we’ll be discussing it soon. If there is a sequel, it will take place in a Paris that is entirely submerged under water.” To read the full interview, where Gens talks about the...

The Xbox Summer Showcase is almost here, and with a big showcase reveal, comes a lot of substantial rumors.

According to one semi-reputed leaker, however, there are some reveals that no one is ready for. The company will allegedly be shadowdropping a first-party title, along with teasing something that could define the next generation of Xbox gaming.

Under Paris, a shark thriller from genre regular Xavier Gens, is set to be released through the Netflix streaming service on June 5th – but producers Sébastien Auscher and Edouard Duprey have been hit with a parasitism lawsuit filed by filmmaker Vincent Dietschy, who claims that Under Paris resembles a project called Silure, which he began working on in 2011. According to Deadline, if a judge rules in favor of Dietschy at the initial hearing on June 14th, Netflix might have to remove Under Paris just days after its release, as Dietschy’s lawyer has requested that the release of the film be suspended while the parasitism lawsuit makes its way through the court system.

Dietschy says he registered Silure with France’s rights management body Sacd in 2012. Going by article 1240 of France’s Civil Code, parasitism is what it’s called when “one party follows in the footsteps of another party...

Hideo Kojima's mysterious horror game, Od, has finally seen its first trailer courtesy of a world premiere at The Game Awards 2023. The biggest surprise of the announcement was the reveal that Od, seemingly short for Overdose, would be a collaboration with renowned horror film director Jordan Peele. While no gameplay was shown, a few members of the cast were announced, and the game's atmosphere is already chilling enough to resurface memories of Pt, Kojima's lost media demo of what would have become Silent Hills.

Following its premiere at The Game Awards, Od's trailer was uploaded to the Kojima Productions YouTube channel. The trailer shows very little about the game, but does provide a haunting first look at its cast, which includes Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier. With Xbox Game Studios attached, it's likely to be an Xbox Console exclusive, but there is no release window or date for Od just yet.

The popular game God of War Ragnarök may be getting a new Dlc, satisfying those who wanted more content after the base game. The Snitch, a reliable gaming leaker, has announced that a God of War Ragnarök Dlc is in development. While the game director has shot down questions about a Dlc, there are hints and circumstantial evidence that point towards its release.

It was just revealed that a new Dlc may currently be in development for God of War Ragnarök. The popular 2022 ninth installment of the God of War franchise saw tremendous critical acclaim, selling over 11 million copies since it was originally released. Praised for its rich storytelling and crisp gameplay, the title surprisingly never got an expanded Dlc. While to many, the base game was satisfying alone; others yearned for more content.

As it turns out, their dreams might be answered. Infamous gaming leaker The Snitch, recently announced...

IFC Films has acquired Xavier Gens’ action spectacle “Mayhem!” (“Farang”) from Studiocanal ahead of its premiere at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival.

Produced by Vincent Roget (Same Player) and Dimitri Stephanides (WTFilms), “Mayhem!” will be released in 2024.

“Xavier Gens has crafted an energetic and propulsive film, showcasing some of the most impressive fight choreography we have ever seen,” said Scott Shooman, head of AMC Networks’ Film Group.

“While winking at films like ‘The Raid’ and ‘Taken,’ Xavier has made a film which stands on its own as an iconic new member of the hand-to-hand action canon. We are thrilled to be working with the immensely talented team to bring this riveting story to theaters,” he added.

Shot in France and Thailand, “Mayhem!” stars Nassim Lyes as Sam. When he gets out of prison, he finds it difficult to escape the reach of a local gang lord. He heads to Thailand,...

Prime Video has revealed its top traveling non-English local originals in the history of the service, with Spanish YA romance “My Fault” and French crime thriller “Medellín” topping the list.

Both are feature films that launched in the last two weeks across Prime Video’s footprint in 240 countries around the world. Interestingly, both titles have more than 75% of their viewership coming from outside their country of origin, though Prime Video hasn’t disclosed any further metrics related to ratings or impressions. Of the list (available in full below), 60% are movies and 40% are TV series.

While it makes sense for local originals like Prime Video’s unscripted format “Lol” to perform well in their home countries — “Big local stars and very local comedy — those don’t really travel beyond their borders,” explains James Farrell, VP of international originals for Amazon Studios — the reason the streamer is highlighting this crop of non-English...

90 Day Fiancé star Mahogany Roca's Instagram page has been in the news for more reasons than one since her 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days debut with Ben Rathbun. Mahogany from Peru was introduced as 52-year-old Ben's online girlfriend, who he had been talking to for three months. While it may have looked like a real couple on the surface, Ben had never seen Mahogany or even talked to her on phone. Mahogany, who's 24 years old, looked too good to be true. Her photos were overly filtered, and she made excuses not to meet Ben when he visited her in Peru.

After she appeared on 90 Day Fiancé, her Instagram was discovered, and she looked like a different person. Her photos made it look like Ben was talking to a catfish, but many episodes passed by until Mahogany appeared onscreen in person. Even then, Mahogany looked nothing like the girl on her social media.

A Brooklyn drug dealer pleaded guilty Wednesday to providing “The Wire” actor Michael K. Williams with fentanyl-laced heroin, causing his death.

Irvin Cartagena’s plea to a charge of conspiring to distribute drugs was entered in Manhattan federal court. Sentencing was set by U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams for Aug. 18, when Cartagena will face a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and the possibility of as many as 40 years.

The famed actor, who also starred in films and other TV series including “Boardwalk Empire”, overdosed in his Brooklyn penthouse apartment in September 2021. Authorities said he died hours after buying the heroin from Cartagena on a Brooklyn sidewalk in a deal that was recorded by a security camera.

Cartagena, 39, signed a plea agreement with prosecutors stipulating that the mix of heroin and fentanyl he sold Williams resulted in his death. His lawyer, Sean Maher, declined comment.

An official reveal trailer for Death Stranding 2, an upcoming sequel from esteemed developer Hideo Kojima, was recently revealed during The Game Awards 2022. Recent rumors have pointed towards various projects as Kojima's next game, including a sequel to 2019's Death Stranding and a survival horror game titled Overdose. The Game Awards 2022 has finally brought the speculation to a close by confirming that a Death Stranding sequel will be the next game from Kojima Productions.

After months of Hideo Kojima teasing a new game, a reveal trailer posted to YouTube by The Game Awards officially reveals the exciting title to be a Death Stranding sequel. Under the working title DS2, the project is a sequel to 2019's post-apocalyptic postman simulator with Norman Reedus and Lea Seydoux returning as Sam Bridges and Fragile. The trailer follows Kojima's typical cryptic style, with Fragile caring for a baby only to be attacked by militant and supernatural forces.

2022 is shaping up to be one of The Game Awards’ biggest years yet. Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok are deadlocked for nominations, and titles such as Horizon Forbidden West and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 follow closely behind. The biggest awards can go any way, but let’s be honest: most gamers will tune in for the trailers and reveals.

Since The Game Awards is currently one of the biggest game-centric celebrations outside of E3, it’s a tradition for companies to fill in the gaps between awards with ads for their upcoming games. Last year alone, gamers got announcements like long-awaited reveals of Alan Wake 2 and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, as well as debuts like Slitterhead. It’s a foregone conclusion that this year’s Game Awards will also be full of trailers, but nobody is entirely sure which reveals to expect. Of course, the rumor mill (and a few...

Amazon Prime Video has come a long way since launching in France in 2016.
