Fan service” refers to the practice of fueling the passion and fantasy of fans through the content offered to them. This way of proceeding is for the most part constitutive of today's Blockbusters. In a mishmash between pop culture and cinema, as pre-existing adapted source material the director comes up against a major problem: trying to compose a cinematic work while respecting the initial borrowing. Our host's debate; Has catered popular taste, now tipped the balance too much to limit creative choice as well as cinema viewing choice? Do we want to find certain things in a film so much that we tend, in the end, to forget the rest?

Hellraiser: Revelations is not only one of the worst movies we've seen in the Hellraiser franchise but one of the worst movies we've ever seen for this podcast. This movie is devoid of all life. This movie is a strange remake of the first movie, but with all of the soul ripped out of it. The poster looks like Pinhead trying to squeeze one out! Even Doug Bradley didn't come back to play Pinhead and that guy will be in anything! But even a poster with Pinhead defecating was too much. It also centers around a sad angsty rich white kid which just makes me want to take a nap.

Sony Confirms Horizon Series on Netflix and God of War on Amazon

Earlier this year, word broke that Amazon Prime Video was developing a live-action series based upon Sony’s God of War games. Now, via IGN, Sony has not only confirmed God of War, it has also revealed that a show based on the Horizon games is in development at Netflix.

The first God of War game was released in 2005, and the series follows Kratos, a Spartan warrior who was betrayed by Ares. As penance for killing his family while under Ares’ influence, Kratos served the Gods of Olympus before ultimately turning against them. Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, the creators and executive producers of The Expanse, are developing the God of War series. Additionally, Rafe Judkins (The Wheel of Time) is also executive producing the show for Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions.

Horizon is a more recent addition to Sony’s library of PlayStation franchises. Horizon Zero Dawn, was released in 2017 and it introduced gamers to a young woman named Aloy. She lives in a far future timeline that is overrun by mechanized creatures. A sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, was released earlier this year.

Sony also revealed that a Gran Turismo series is in development, but very little is known about that show. The Gran Turismo titles are racing games and they don’t have any main characters.

The latest news continues Sony’s push into live-action series adaptations of its PS games. HBO will debut The Last of Us next year, while Peacock is currently assembling the cast of Twisted Metal.

Are you looking forward to seeing Horizon and God of War in live-action? Let us know in the comment section below!

The post Sony Confirms Horizon Series on Netflix and God of War on Amazon appeared first on SuperHeroHype.

Plot: After the melting of the polar ice caps, most of the globe is underwater. Some humans have survived, and even fewer still, notably the Mariner (Kevin Costner), have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. A loner by nature, the Mariner reluctantly befriends Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and her young companion, Enola (Tina Majorino), as they escape from a hostile artificial island. Soon the sinister Smokers are pursuing them in the belief that Enola holds the key to finding the mythical Dryland.

Review: I’d only ever seen Waterworld once in the theatre when it first came out; billed as being cinema’s biggest flop (like Cutthroat Island) everyone seemed to hate the movie before it even came out just because of the spiraling budget (and Kevin Costner’s ego apparently). I remember quite enjoying the Mad Max on the water scenario but never really had any great inkling to watch it again until I saw the 4K release for $15 on Amazon recently.

This has the extended cut which has a whopping 40 extra minutes making the movie nearly 3 hours long. This really adds more depth to the characters especially Dennis Hopper’s Deacon who is far more interesting now and more of a leader rather than just the “bad guy”; I also never noticed that was Jack Black as the plane pilot before.

At the time I thought Costner’s Mariner was a bit too surly of a character making him very hard to root for; this extended cut only adds that making him really come across as a total asshole however, obviously it’s called character development as he grows fonder of Enola and Helen so as the story progresses we still root for him.

My favourite scene is towards the end when the Mariner goes to rescue Enola from Deacon and while he is taking out the trash she provides the “how badass is this guy” voiceover saying “He doesn’t have a home or people to care for. He’s not afraid of anything, men least of all. He’s fast and strong like a big wind. He can hear a hundred miles, and see a hundred miles underwater. He can hide in the shadow of a noon sun. He can be right behind you and you won’t even know it til you’re dead!” I would love someone to say something as cool as that about me rather than “he’s quite dull and not that bright” which is less exciting.

Anyway, I forgot just how spectacular this film is in terms of action sequences; there is a real sense of scale with incredible stunts, explosions and battles where you see every penny of the budget on screen. The odd special effect doesn’t hold up but there’s nothing overly jarring and for the most part it still looks fantastic.

James Newton Howard’s score is one of his best with the Mariner getting a heroic theme and we also get some epic choirs during the action scenes.

The 3 hour runtime is definitely a bit too long and it does drag at times so I understand why it was trimmed for the theatrical release but this is still worth watching; the audio and visuals are nicely remastered however, there were a few grainy scenes.

Alas like the Mad Max 4k Anthology aside from two alternate cuts of Waterworld there are no other special features so if you already own the Arrow Blu-ray then this isn’t really worth picking up.

Overall, Waterworld is a technical marvel with some jaw dropping set-pieces and a genuine sense of scale; having two versions of the film is fantastic but aside from that though there are no other special features so you’re best to stick with the Arrow release.

NECA Makes Unreleased LJN Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Figures

For anyone who’s been nursing a grudge since the early ’80s that LJN’s final wave of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons action figures never came out…it’s time to heal. For one of this year’s Comic-Con exclusives, NECA will finally make and release them. They’ll even come with the original Battle-Matic Action feature (except Skylla). AD&D figures came in multiple scales, but eventually settled into 4-inch, which these are. And they appear to be exact copies of the original prototypes — no modern enhancements. Those can wait for the larger 7-inchers NECA announced a while back.

RELATED: The D&D Movie is Called Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

Each figure will arrive sealed on an individual blister card in the vintage style, with all four packed into an outer box. But anyone who wants to activate that sweet push-button arm motion will have to open them up. So maybe get two?

NECA will announce details and price later. But don’t expect a bargain for these. Pulvereye the cycloptic Orc, Skylla the witch, Valkeer the Viking-ish barbarian and Kelek the evil wizard can bolster any party. Get a closer look at each figure in the gallery below.

What do you think of these LJN reproductions? Have you been awaiting these for decades? Let us know in comments!

Star Wars Black Series Exclusive Jon Favreau and Obi-Wan Villain Reva

He is so money and he doesn’t even know it. $40 worth, in fact. For Hasbro‘s Star Wars Celebration exclusive figure, as revealed by IGN, Jon Favreau‘s getting his first Black Series figure. The Mandalorian’s heavy gunner Paz Vizsla, voiced by Favreau, has seen figure form before. Now, however, we get to see why he’s so adamant about keeping his helmet on. Remove it on this figure, and Favreau’s face stares back. This is not The Way…but it is a fun exclusive. Fans attending Celebration can pick up coupons at Hasbro’s booth to access a special online preorder. Any of the exclusive Favreau figures left over will hit Hasbro Pulse at a later date.

The Paz figure originally went for a then-high $29.99. In special packaging, and with a new head and cost increases, it’s ten bucks more. It’s not the first ever toy likeness of the actor — Happy Hogan saw release in the Marvel Infinity Saga line. But it is the first one armed for battle.

RELATED: Disney+ Adds a Synopsis For Obi-Wan Kenobi Series

In other Black Series news, StarWars.com unveiled the first villain figure from the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi show. Reva, a.k.a. the Third Sister, will go up for preorder at most online retailers come 1 p.m. tomorrow, May 26, eastern time. She comes with an Inquisitor-style lightsaber that probably comes apart.

Plot: After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Training a detachment of graduates for a special assignment, Maverick must confront the ghosts of his past and his deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who choose to fly it.

Review: As blasphemous as this may be for some I never quite loved the original Top Gun as much as everyone else; I enjoyed the music, the dogfights and the supporting cast of characters but Maverick (Tom Cruise) was so arrogant and obnoxious I wanted to punch him in the face for a lot of the film.

I rewatched Top Gun last night to have a refresher before viewing the new film Maverick tonight and I must admit I have never enjoyed it more; maybe because I’m older I appreciated things like Maverick’s character arc and the endlessly quotable dialogue but it really got me excited for this belated sequel.

My main fear for Top Gun: Maverick was that it was just going to be a simple nostalgia trip and basically be a rehash of the original film; although it maintains the same musical themes and the opening sequence is practically identical this feels like a genuine sequel where the character of Maverick is older, more world weary and still struggling to find his place in the world.

Gone is his youthful arrogance and although he is still recognisable, I prefer this iteration as he feels more relatable and human. After several decades since the events of the first film Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is a highly decorated pilot but is still a wildcard that should be a higher rank than Captain at this stage of his career.

He is asked to return to Top Gun to train a new batch of pilots and undergo a dangerous mission behind enemy lines. One of the new recruits known as Rooster (Miles Teller) just happens to be the son of Maverick’s friend Goose who (spoiler alert) as we all know was killed in the first film. He has an attitude towards Maverick which I won’t go into here as I don’t want to spoil the story but it’s their relationship which is one of the main drivers of the film.

As entertaining as the first Top Gun is it could be argued that this sequel has more heart and there were several moments where tears of manliness may have been shed. The scene between Maverick and Iceman (Val Kilmer) is one of the many highlights but also reminds us what a great actor Cruise is; he may be known for doing some of the craziest stunts ever put on film but he also gives one of his best performances here and it’s a genuinely emotional and uplifting tale the like of which we rarely see these days.

There isn’t a bad performance in the entire film and I found myself genuinely rooting for the new generation with Miles Teller being especially sympathetic as Rooster. I surprisingly loved Glen Powell as Hangman who is essentially this film’s version of Iceman bringing the right amount of cockiness to the role.

It’s the third act of Maverick where the film really transcends to become one of the best blockbusters of recent times with mind-blowing aerial photography and an adrenaline fuelled finale. There are some spectacular explosions and minimal visual effects so there isn’t much for action fans to complain about.

In terms of flaws if I were to nitpick one could say the first half is a little slow and the film’s script may not be quite as quotable but there are still some great lines, and we shall see over the coming years if it is looked at as fondly as the original film.

The music is perfect (featuring Hans Zimmer) with the iconic theme making a triumphant return and even Lady GaGa’s song isn’t awful; it’s no “Take My Breath Away” but it works just fine and there are some other fantastic tunes too.

Overall, Top Gun: Maverick is a perfect example of how to do a sequel right with memorable characters, stunning aerial dogfights and an emotional core that will give you a big goofy grin by the time the end credits roll.

Daybreak Games’ Marvel MMO Game Has Officially Been Cancelled

Sorry, gamers—it happened again. Just six months after Daybreak Games revealed plans to resurrect its abandoned Marvel MMO, the company has pulled the plug on the project for the second time in five years.

News of the MMO’s development broke last November after Daybreak’s parent company, Enad Global 7, mentioned the game during an investor presentation. Daybreak already had experience with superhero MMOs, having previously co-published DC Universe Online in 2011. Additionally, the studio recruited former City of Heroes designer Jack Emmert to serve as the project’s lead. But now, EG7 confirmed in a new blog post that its resources will be directed elsewhere.

“EG7 today announced it will be discontinuing the development of the Marvel project at Daybreak Games,” wrote the company. “Based on the re-evaluation of the development risk profile, size of investment, and the long-term product portfolio strategy for the group, the board has decided to change the development priorities and reallocate resources within the group to focus on alternative long-term projects.”

RELATED: Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered Adds No Way Home Skins

Rumors about Daybreak’s plans for a Marvel MMO began circulating in 2019. According to a post on Reddit (via Massively Overpowered), the studio had been developing an earlier version of the game for most of 2018. But on account of “top down issues,” Daybreak scrapped the project entirely, which ultimately prompted a round of layoffs.

EG7 also shared that it was planning to invest over SEK 500 million (more than $50 million in U.S. currency) in the Marvel MMO over the next three years. In the wake of its cancellation, however, that money will now go toward developing original IPs.

J.J. Abrams Is Producing a Speed Racer Live-Action Series For Apple TV+

It’s been over a decade since the Wachowskis brought Speed Racer to the big screen. Although that film failed to light up the box office in 2008, the franchise is getting a second chance at live-action. Via The Hollywood Reporter, J.J. Abrams and his production company, Bad Robot, are producing a new Speed Racer live-action series for Apple TV+

According to the report, Snowpiercer veteran Hiram Martinez has come up with an “exciting take” on Speed Racer that won over Apple, Warner Bros., and Bad Robot. Martinez will co-write the script with Ron Fitzgerald (Westworld), and both Martinez and Fitzgerald will be the showrunners.

THR’s story notes that the reboot has been in the works for a long time. It also mentions that “the development process has been excruciatingly slow.” Martinez and Fitzgerald were only hired for the show within the last few months.

RELATED: Christina Ricci on a Potential Speed Racer Sequel

Speed Racer was originally a manga created by Tatsuo Yoshida in 1966. It was called Mach GoGoGo in Japan. The franchise didn’t really take off until 1967, when the Speed Racer anime series came to America. The show was a massive hit domestically, and it was one of the first anime to become popular in the United States. The theme song alone remains iconic to this day.

The manga and anime follow Speed, a young racer who drives a car called the Mach 5. Speed is joined on his adventures by his girlfriend, Trixie, his younger brother, Spritle, their father, Pops, and Spritle’s pet chimpanzee, Chim-Chim. One of Speed’s allies outside of the Racer family was the enigmatic Racer X, who was secretly his presumed dead brother, Rex Racer.

THR also notes that Bad Robot is under close scrutiny by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav because the multi-million dollar development deal with Abrams has produced very little to date. The long-in-development sci-fi series, Demimonde, may also be in jeopardy if Zaslav decides against going forward with it.

Okay, so we spend an inordinate amount of time discussing the female lead’s body this week, but in our defense, this movie features about 40 minutes of full frontal nudity and we challenge anyone to not be stunned by the quality of it. It’s the final film in our Cannon Canon retrospective, Toby Hooper’s naked space vampire epic, LIFEFORCE (1985). Starting next week we plan on kicking off an entire month where we talk about dog movies, so we expect the discussion to become far less filthy. You can start looking forward to that wholesomeness now (unless one of the flicks distracts us with some bomb-ass dog titties, no guarantees). 

The rest of the action community may be talking about the upcoming Top Gun sequel, Top Gun Maverick, but on Episode 67 of The Bulletproof Podcast Chris the Brain, Chad Cruise and special guest Chris DePetrillo from Figures Toy Company look back at the other jet fighter movie from 1986! The awesome cast that included Louis Gossett Jr, Jason Gedrick and Tim Thomerson, the awesome soundtrack that included Twisted Sister, Queen and Dio are among the talking points of this episode... plus, should Toy Soldiers have been a Chappy Sinclair spin off? Check out this jet fueled edition of The Bulletproof Podcast right now!!!  

Steve, Dave and Sean learn about angry space rocks and rowdy drillers, Teen Sean talks to Harry, Doc Blair shows Grace a document, Sean’s Teen Steve story, Rambo helps with driller training and more.

It's Slugs VS Frogs in this week's post-apocalyptic exploitation classic. Bombs, boobs, guns, swords, and exploding codpieces. And in the middle of it all is cultural treasure Rowdy Roddy Piper. Ryan confesses that sometimes an 86-minute runtime is just too damn long. Brant confesses that he might have a thing for the frog lady. The Slugs disagree over the dance of the three snakes.

This week on The Cannon Canon we’re delving into the Chuck Norris corner of the Cannon Films universe by talking about his 1985 film where one very misguided Russian terrorist and about three dozen multi-ethnic underlings attempt a full-scale land invasion of the United States, INVASION USA. “It can happen here,” but what “it” is gets pretty unclear, especially in the ridiculous third act of this Reagan-era monstrosity.
