Scarlett Johansson in Talks for Jurassic World Movie

Studio Ghibli surprised fans by sharing the first images from Hayao Miyazaki’s final film, “The Boy and the Heron” (also known as “How Do You Live?”), ahead of its North American release. These detailed, lush, and vibrant images depict a grand and mystical world, reminiscent of Miyazaki’s previous works like “Castle in the Sky” and “Spirited Away.” The film, based on a 1937 novel, marks Miyazaki’s return from retirement, as he felt compelled to create one more feature-length film. While a North American release date has yet to be announced, the movie is expected to hit theaters in the region by the end of the year. Johnny Hardwick, the voice actor of Dale Gribble on King of the Hill, died on August 8 at his home in Austin, Texas. He was 64. Hardwick had been with the show since its debut in 1997 and had also worked as a producer and writer on the show. He was nominated for an Emmy for his work on the show in 1999.

Rockstar has announced that Red Dead Redemption and its zombie-themed Undead Nightmare expansion will be available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch from August 17. The game is being ported by Double Eleven Studios and will also support PlayStation 5 backward compatibility. This is a "conversion" rather than a remaster or remake, and it includes additional language options. The price will be $49.99 on the Nintendo Switch eShop and PlayStation Store, with physical copies coming on October 13. There's no mention of PC or Xbox versions, disappointing PC players. The game follows John Marston's journey to hunt down the remaining members of the Van der Linde Gang in the American west and Mexico, and the Nintendo Switch and PS4 versions include the Undead Nightmare expansion with a zombie theme. In another announcement, Street Fighter 6 will have a crossover with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). TMNT-themed gear, emotes, titles, stamps, and costumes will be added to the game on August 8. The collaboration was revealed at EVO 2023 and includes a TMNT-themed storefront, character costumes, turtle-like emotes, and other in-game items. While not full DLC characters, this partnership offers a blend of the two franchises and coincides with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in theaters and the upcoming arrival of the original 1987 TMNT series on Nickelodeon. #gaming #TMNT #reddeadredemption
