Ah, the apocalypse. Arguably one of the most fertile grounds for creativity across any medium, be it film, video games or television. Today, we've picked up news of another genre entry coming to the latter medium, after Syfy announced plans to adapt Robert Charles Wilson's award-winning novel Spin into a miniseries.
Having spent time winning praise and stealing hearts across a variety of major productions in the past few years -- The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar and Les Misérables -- Anne Hathaway is primed to make a return to the kind of indie romances that helped put her on the map with Kate Barker-Froyland's musical drama, Song One.
For all of the superhero buzz that has stolen hearts and headlines over the past twelve months or so, there's also another trend that has once again come to the fore in Hollywood circles: looking to old franchises in an attempt to reboot them. Mind you, it's a tactic that doesn't always pay dividends; whether it's RoboCop, Annie or 2013's Total Recall, it's clear that this feat is a tricky butterfly to pin. Nevertheless, with the likes of Mad Max: Fury Road and Jurassic World looming on the horizon, it's one that looks set to continue unabated.

Few games have stolen the hearts and minds of gamers in recent years in the manner of thatgamecompany's minimalistic, ethereal adventure, Journey. Released in 2012, the title swept the board, garnering praise for its wonderful style and compelling, almost existential themes, not to mention its stark visual style.
Given all of the technical hoo-ha that can spring up out of the blue during a live demonstration, it's no wonder game developer choose a vertical slice that represents their product in the best possible light. And in the case of Naughty Dog, this method of approach meant locking the recent PlayStation Experience demo of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End at 1080p and 30 frames-per-second, a threshold that the studio might adhere to with the final product.
After detailing the game's extensive, wholly confusing DLC plan just recently, developer Turtle Rock has moved to defend Evolve's tiered expansions after players claimed that the studio had intentionally withheld content to spearhead pre-order numbers.
Platinum Dunes have provided a brief update on two of the studio's upcoming films: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 and the Friday the 13th reboot. First up, it's understood the anthropomorphic teenagers will leapfrog back in front of the cameras in April, where filming will take place once again in New York City. As for the horror property, producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form -- who are currently doing the rounds for Project Almanac -- revealed that the retelling is still incubating in the early stages of development.
