Christian Post Report – Spectre – GTA V YouTube screengrab

A YouTube user has created a “Grand Theft Auto V” video using the recently released trailer for the latest James Bond installment, “Spectre.”

Fans of 007 and the GTA games series were treated to a video created by Joris Prudhon, a YouTube user who put the “Grand Theft Auto V” treatment on the upcoming James Bond offering, “Spectre.”

Prudhon launched himself into fame last year when he recreated the “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” trailer and gave it a “Grand Theft Auto V” spin. That version has since gathered over 700,000 views on YouTube.

The ring showing Spectre’s logo featured on the original trailer also makes an appearance in the video, and while the analogs weren’t rendered as perfectly, the meeting with Christoph Waltz’s character is included, even if Prudhon didn’t quite make the setting details clear.

The video remains relatively faithful to the “Spectre” trailer, however. The 3D version of Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond, is a fairly accurate rendering, along with a fizzy-haired version of Naomie Harris. Even the iconic and climactic James Bond soundtrack is thrown in at the end for good measure.

Recreating parodies of trailers was made possible by a number of complex tools present in “GTA IV,” giving creative players a venue to produce their own intricate videos. The Spectre-GTA V version is not the first in this genre, parody versions of E3 and the “Need for Speed” trailers have already been created and have their own following on YouTube.

Console players without “Rockstar” movie maker tools at their disposal may make do with multiplayer positional tracking and painstaking manual camera edits. One such example is the aqueduct chase sequence in the recreated “Terminator 2.”

Fans of these types of remakes should soon expect a rendering of “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” trailer, and even the complex “Terminator: Genisys” recreation in GTA V, courtesy of the gaming community.

Warner Bros. Secures Rights for ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Film Adaptation

Christian Post Report – A screen grab from the Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 teaser trailer

Warner Bros. has recently bought the rights to “Five Nights at Freddy’s” and the dark video game is currently in the works to become a feature film.

“Five Nights At Freddy’s,” a survival horror point-and-click game, will soon have its own film adaptation after Warner Bros. announced it had acquired the rights to transform the critically acclaimed Scott Games indie title into its very own movie.

The adaptation is reportedly being produced by Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg of KatzSmith Productions and Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment, who also produced “Run All Night” and the soon-to-be-released “Poltergeist” reboot.

Game developer Scott Cawthon, who conceived the paranoia-filled gameplay complete with malfunctioning animatronic animals, told THR that the storyline for the game is ideal for a movie plot. He added that the tension and suspense in “Five Nights At Freddy’s” fills up a “niche of horror that a lot of people will be able to relate to.”

Producer Grahame-Smith also said they were looking forward to working with Cawthon in creating “insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie.”

Details regarding writer, director, plotline and cast have yet to be revealed as the movie is still in its infancy, but audiences and fans of the game should expect the same paranoia and tension in the movie the game series has become famous for.

The unique survival horror game features a simplistic design where players take on the character of a lone night security guard at an eerie family pizza place, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, who must survive the graveyard shift without being attacked by malfunctioning animatronic robot animals that entertain patrons by day but become sadistic killers when night falls.

Released to rave reviews in August 2014, the game has recently made available its third installment in the series last month.

‘Arrested Development’ is Getting Another Season, Says Showrunner Brian Grazer

Christian Post Report – The Cast of Arrested Development

The TV sitcom series “Arrested Development” is getting another season, as announced by one of its Executive Producers Brian Grazer. In an interview during the SXSW, Grazer revealed that they are working on another set of episodes for another season, 17 to be exact. The interview was recently revealed via podcast.

The Variety report said that Grazer indicated the number of episodes they were working on during the interview.

“I love ‘Arrested Development,’ but it was never a huge thing. But people are loyal to it,” he said.

The show was originally shown on Fox TV for three seasons, from 2003 to 2006. The network cancelled the show because of its low ratings, but the show garnered critical acclaim for its single camera, reality TV style. In 2011, Netflix agreed to support another season of the show through its streaming service, which were aired in 2013.

After Grazer’s revelation, neither Netflix nor 20th Century Fox has confirmed the news. A 20th Century Fox representative acknowledged that “although everyone is interested in doing more episodes, we have nothing firm to announce at this time.”

In another report in The Guardian, Netflix head Ted Sarandos made a remark last year about the possible fate of series. When asked about new episodes, he remarked, “It’s just a matter of when.”

One of the show’s stars, Will Arnett had also said, “It’s going to happen, we don’t know when but it is going to happen.”

The show’s creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, who is also one of its executive producers, had recently inked a multiyear deal with Netflix to “produce, develop and create new projects” for the streaming service.

“Arrested Development” is known for launching the careers of Jason Bateman, Michael Cera and David Cera. It has received awards from the Primetime Emmys and the Golden Globes, and has been cited as one of TV’s “funniest shows of all time.”

‘Tron 3’ Casting News: Olivia Wilde and Garett Hedlund to Return

Christian Post Report – Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde og Jeff Bridges kemur greinilega vel saman. Reuters.

Disney is finally making some moves to make a “Tron” sequel a reality. The studio recently announced that “Tron: Legacy” stars Garett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde are coming back to a still untitled sequel to reprise their roles as Sam Flynn and Quorra, an algorithm turned flesh.

Temporarily called “Tron 3” because it is the third installment in the “Tron” series of the movies, it will be directed by Joseph Kosinski, the same director who helmed “Tron: Legacy.”

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but being a sequel, it will likely continue the story from the previous film. In “Tron: Legacy,” Sam Flynn is forced to enter the Grid, a virtual computer world created by his father Kevin Flynn, in order to look for his father who had disappeared twenty years before. He goes against the Grid’s CLU, the ruling program in the Grid, with the help of Quorra who is an “algorithm-made-flesh.”

The Hollywood Reporter says in its report that this is one of the rare times that a sequel was made from a movie that was not a box office performer. The 2010 sequel was made 28 years after the 1982 original movie. The report cites that it became a cult classic, and had a legion of fans following it. It also earned $400 million worldwide, making it one of the highest earning movies during that time. One of Disney’s reason for working on a sequel was because of this. Both movies were also known for its pioneering music, one of the factors that contributed to it being a cult classic.

It is unclear if Jeff Bridges will reprise his role as Sam’s dad, or if Bruce Boxleitner will return as Kevin Flynn’s friend, Alan Bradley.

The film is said to start production later this year which will most likely be done in Vancouver, British Columbia. Justin Springer is attached as a producer.

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Won’t Get a Post-Credits Scene, Says Joss Whedon

Christian Post Report – Avengers: Age of Ultron. Facebook image. March 1, 2015.

Josh Whedon has revealed to audiences that “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” won’t be featuring a post-credit scene unlike the previous films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” which is due to open at North American theaters May 1, is going a different direction than its predecessors by taking out the usual post-credits scene audiences have come to expect from a Marvel superhero movie.

Marvel head, Kevin Feige and the film’s director, Whedon were trying to come up with ways to top the epic shawarma scene that postscripted “The Avengers,” but decided to take another path based on what they felt to be true and right.

While the upcoming Marvel superhero action adventure will be dispensing with a post-credits scene, Feige told EW.com they were putting in a tag – a short epilogue-like sequence that will be appearing just after the credits begin to roll.

“And that’s not a fake-out,” Whedon clarified to EW.com. “We want people to know so they don’t sit there for 10 minutes and then go, ‘Son of a b—-! I’ll kill them!'”

Feige also discredited rumors Captain Marvel would be making an appearance in “Age of Ultron,” but did hint of a secret female character that fans may already be familiar with.

The secrets and hints have continued to roll out, including the reveal of who and what Vision really is. Marvel recently released a poster showing a full body render of Vision, one of the most important characters to have a big impact on the plot of the film. In earlier promotions of the film, Vision had only been shown in a brief millisecond during one of the trailers for the movie.

With “Avengers: Age of Ultron” just three weeks away, audiences may have to brace themselves for more surprising reveals as Marvel preps them to receive the 11th blockbuster installment from Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.

ISIS Demands $30 Million for Release of 300 Kidnapped Assyrian Christians

Assyrians hold banners as they march in solidarity with the Assyrians abducted by Islamic State fighters in Syria earlier this week, in Beirut, Labanon, February 28, 2015. Militants in northeast Syria are now estimated to have abducted at least 220 Assyrian Christians this week, a group monitoring the war reported.

Christian Post Report – Terror group ISIS has reportedly asked for $30 million to free the 250 to 300 Assyrian Christians it kidnapped in February.

Fox News reported on an officer within the Assyrian leadership who revealed that the jihadis are asking for $100,000 per individual.

“They know we cannot come up with this kind of money, so they are hoping other groups and countries will come up with the money,” said the official, who wasn’t named.

The Christians were kidnapped from 35 different villages in the Hasakah province in February following a major ISIS attack.

Although the terror group later released 23 of the hostages, it has been attempting to force the other Christians to abandon their faith and convert to Islam.

Late in March, the Islamic State, as the group is also known, released a video showing the supposed “voluntary” conversion of one such hostage. The footage shows a man from the village of Tel Temit declaring that Muhammad is God’s prophet.

“These forms of propaganda are repugnant, offend the conscience of every man and should provoke rebellion also on behalf of Muslims who have true religious piety,” Archbishop Jacques Behnan Hindo, head of the Syrian Catholic archeparchy in Hassaké-Nisibi, said in response to the video.

“It is obvious that the moral and physical violence on persons held hostage is another manifestation of barbarism in which we have fallen. We pray that the Lord helps and consoles those who suffer in his name.”

One of the Assyrians who was released, identified as Robert, said that the other hostages have refused to convert.

“They kept pressuring us to convert to Islam. It was their constant focus. But we were not mistreated.” Robert said.

“We said we would not convert. They said you must then pay the jizya [a Christian poll tax] or leave the country. That was the option given to us. We said we would pay the jizya but we would not convert.”

American-led coalition forces have hit back against ISIS’ conquests in Iraq and Syria, though the militants maintain a stronghold on a number of cities and towns that used to have significant Christian populations.

Earlier in February, ISIS released a video titled “A Message Signed with Blood to the Nation of the Cross,” in which they showed the beheadings of 21 Coptic Christians that had been kidnapped in Libya.

Mobile Horror Game ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Gets a Movie

Five Nights at Freddy's YouTube/File

Christian Post Report – A screenshot of gameplay from YouTube.

Warner Brothers is bravely doing a film adaptation of a popular mobile game called “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” The mobile game is said to be constantly on the top list of games downloaded in app stores. It is a horror survival game, with players taking on the role of a night-shift security guard who works in a pizza parlor. The game was created by Scott Cawthon.

The pizza place is famous for its animatronic band, which includes a big teddy bear, which plays kiddie tunes during the day. These animatronic animals however turn into something more sinister at night and are known for killing security personnel who are on night duty.

The Hollywood Reporter first shared the news about Warner Bros. acquiring the rights to adaptation. Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment will produce the film, with Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg.

The game’s creator, Scott Cawthon, said that “the story lends itself to being a movie and it taps into a largely unexplored niche of horror that a lot of people will be able to relate to.” Seth Grahame-Smith on the other hand says that they will work with Cawthon to make “an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie.”

A further description of gameplay as reported in SlashFilm may give an idea of how the film may be adapted: “The games feature a pretty unsettling art design and a backstory which involves some really nasty actions related to the animatronic animals.”

No writer is attached to the film as of yet. It will be executive produced by Adam Stone and Jay Ireland, while Jon Berg and Nik Mavinkurve will oversee the film for Warner Bros.

Lee, Grahame-Smith and Katzenberg are no strangers to the horror film genre. Lee had a hand in producing Liam Neeson’s “Run All Night” and is finishing work on the “Poltergeist” remake. Grahame-Smith and Katzenberg are currently working on a “Beetlejuice” sequel.

FX’s hit horror anthology TV series “American Horror Story” welcomes back one of its cast member in its upcoming fifth season subtitled “Hotel.”

A report from The New Zealand Herald said that the two-time AHS star Kathy Bates has been confirmed to return in a yet to be known role.

Announcing the news is none other than show creator Ryan Murphy who took to his social media this week.

“Kathy Bates is running the Hotel. #AHSSeason5” Murphy’s Twitter post reads.

Although it hasn’t yet been disclosed as to what the 66-year-old award-winning star will be in AHS: Hotel, speculations drawn out from Murphy’s tweet indicated that Bates could be the hotel’s manager.

Bates has appeared back in “American Horror Story: Coven” as well as on “American Horror Story: Freak Show” where she played the character of a bearded lady named Ethel Darling.

Speaking to Us Weekly on their March 17 news edition, Bates expressed how open she is to the idea of returning to the FX series.

“I’m keeping my fingers crossed,” Bates said.

As with the news about the pop icon Lady Gaga joining the AHS family, Bates added that she would “love to work” with the singer.

“I’m a big fan of hers, my jaw dropped when I saw her on the Oscars,” she meanwhile told E! News. “I’ve just decided I have to put her picture up in front of the treadmill.”

Other than Bates, and Lady Gaga, the new series will also feature the acts of Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer, and Cheyenne Jackson in various major roles.

Filming for “American Horror Story: Hotel” is slated to commence this summer and will premiere on television this October.
