The first official still for Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott’s sequel to Prometheus, has been released. Although not much, the picture still has a lot to say. The image depicts a patch with “Weyland-Yutani” beneath a symbol that resembles quite a bit of the Egyptian-style Weyland-Yutani logo from the original Alien.

Microsoft made this decision based on the fact that the Xbox 360 is simply too outdated to keep producing, and that they want to focus on the newer Xbox One and creating newer technologies to compete with the rest…

Paramount and Dreamworks have been working on a live-action adaptation of the manga Ghost in the Shell, and naturally the first complaints were that the film wasn’t utilizing an Asian cast, and rather used actors and actresses like Scarlett Johansson. Well, Screen Crush suggests that to counter these complaints, the studios were working with tests to digitally alter the cast: “According to multiple independent sources close to the project, Paramount and DreamWorks commissioned visual effects tests that would’ve altered Scarlett Johansson in post-production to ‘shift her ethnicity’ and make the Caucasian actress appear more Asian in the film.” The special…

Will he be the main baddie? Will he be a villain Spidey has to defeat in an opening scene?
