Tekken 7 new characters Jin Kazama, Devil Jin, and Josie Rizal

Christian Post Report – “Tekken” executive producer and game director Katsuhiro Harada revealed three characters for “Tekken 7.”

Both Jin Kazama and Devil Jin have returned to the series and will be added to the game on March 31st and April 7, respectively.

Kazama has improved moves with more powerful punches and strikes, and his fighting style is similar to that of a professional boxer. Meanwhile, Devil Jin has laser-fire eyes and though the character looks a lot like Kazama, it has a different fighting style.

Meanwhile, the new character which Harada introduced is named Josie Rizal, the series’ first fighter of Filipino descent. Designed by Mari Shimazaki of Bayonetta fame, the character’s name is a nod to the Philippines’ national hero, Jose Rizal. The character’s clothing is also based on the Philippine flag’s colors, which are red, blue, yellow with a bit of white detailing, and she specializes in both kickboxing and Eskrima, with a bit of muay thai thrown in.

Last year, it was announced that the game will introduce other characters from different parts of the world, and new characters Katarina Alves (Brazilian) and Shaheen (Saudi Arabian) were added to the roster, and both are designed as beginner friendly characters.

Several characters will also be speaking in their native languages, so Leo and Lili will be speaking German and French respectively for the first time in the series, while Claudio, Katarina, and Shaheen will speak their native Italian, Portuguese, and Arabic respectively.

“Tekken 7” has already been released in arcades in Japan on March 18 and the game reportedly has already gained a steady fan base. Bandai Namco has yet to announce when the game will hit other platforms in other territories. The game is expected to make an appearance at EVO 2015.

Alicia talks to Bishop on The Good Wife

Christian Post Report – On last Sunday’s episode of “The Good Wife,” Alicia meets with some well-wishers after winning the state’s attorney election, and Florrick/Argos/Lockhart falls victim to a cyber attack.

Alicia returns to the firm to find her office filled with gifts and other items congratulating her on her win. No sooner has she sat down when visitors and requests for favors start to come in.

James Castro is the first to stop by and he asks Alicia to keep his current deputy in place during her administration. She says that’s not possible, but he says, “It is customary for the incoming SA not to investigate the outgoing SA.” He ends up threatening her before he leaves as he tells her, “A lame duck can still tank your record before you get started.”

Next to drop by is Guy Redmayne. He mentions that he sent a gift of “a chessboard made out of human teeth” and makes his request: he wants her to appoint his friend Dean Lumber as her deputy. Alicia is not too keen with his suggestion, so he too leaves her with a threat: “I spent seven figures putting you into office. It won’t cost me nearly as much to get you out of it.”

Lemond Bishop stops by and asks Alicia to ensure his safety and stop Geneva Pine’s investigation. She promises to stop the investigation and grant him immunity if he’ll testify against his lieutenants. Bishop tells her that this is not a smart move at all as he leaves.

Eli learns about Alicia’s interaction with Redmayne and barges into her office. He angrily advises her to respond to all requests as such: “Thank you for your advice. All options are open to me. I plan to decide in the next 48 hours.” So Alicia meets again with Redmayne and she tries to appease him. Alicia also meets with Castro and Bishop, but she appoints Finn Bolmar as her deputy.

Meanwhile, the firm is busy with a case involving a movie producer suing an illegal pirating site named WharfMaster for leaking a movie before its release. The site’s fans are angry with the firm for threatening the site, so they hack and leak the firm’s network and start sharing private emails online.

It’s hurtful for everyone in the firm as secrets are exposed, but Alicia is spared most of it. Then, the hackers threaten to release two years’ worth of emails, so Alicia asks Marissa to search her account for anything that could be used against her.

Later, the suit gets settled and the hackers are called off, but the cost to repair the damages affected the firm’s ability to pay Alicia’s buyout offer. The partners offer her a buyout of $100,000, which is less than what they initially offered her. She tells them, “I want you to know that this offer does not in any way impact my consideration of your criminal cases when I’m SA.”

“The Good Wife” airs on Sundays at 9/8c on CBS.

Christian Post Report – Sony recently acquired the rights to the 1980s anime TV series “Robotech” and they have big plans for it. In this era of franchises, Sony is looking to build a live action film franchise on the science fiction anime series.

According to a report in Variety, Sony is first focusing on the first live action feature film that will kick off the franchise. It was reported that Michael Gordon who wrote “300” and “GI Joe” will work on the script, while Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton of “300” and “The Immortals” will produce the film.

The story will be based on the same premise as the anime series. It will be set in the future where humans are living in space and are making use of robot technology to defend themselves from alien invaders. The report cites that the series’ story has the necessary elements that will have universal appeal and so many story possibilities for expansion into a franchise.

Sony Pictures Entertainment Group President Doug Belgrad, Columbia Pictures Production Chief Michael De Luca who will oversee the project, himself said: “With a history that offers an epic love triangle, a renegade hero, and a world on the brink of extinction, ‘Robotech’ offers a wide scope and a rich and impressive universe where the story possibilities are endless.”

The original “Robotech” series which found its way in the US was made by Harmony Gold. It was adapted from three Japanese series. It ran for three seasons with 85 episodes. Aside from the TV series however, Robotech is also a franchise, with several animated feature films produced following the TV series.

There were earlier plans in 2008 for a live-action film, with Warner Bros. and Tobey MacGuire and Akiva Goldsman as producers. Even Leonardo diCaprio was interested to star in it. A string of writers were associated with the project, but nothing materialized. Warner Bros. final attempt was in 2013 when it tried to get Nic Mathieu to direct.

Christian Post Report – Following last week’s announcement that Fox has already given the needed green-light for the revival of the ’90s phenomenal sci-fi TV series “The X-Files,” the internet once again took off when more information about the upcoming revival show was served by none other than its lead star, David Duchovny.

Playing as the FBI special agent, Fox Mulder, Duchovny was recently interviewed by The New York Times about his new series “Aquarius.” The talk expectedly segued to “X-Files” which he admits wasn’t “really a cult show.”

“It was actually a big hit. People call it a cult show because of the subject matter,” he said.

He went on to confirm that the new take of the story will be consisted of six episodes and will follow on its “Monster of the Week” set-up as well as its expansive mythology.

“We’re gonna do both. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna begin and end with the mythology,” he revealed.

He went on to say that filming for the new segments would happen in Vancouver which, as CBR said, would take advantage of the location’s “misty atmosphere” that will help bring out the show’s signature “spooky tone.”

The 54-year-old New York native further insisted that the new “X-Files” will be the same as before.

“We’re still trying to do the same show. It’s not like were trying to make it 2.0, or whatever the.0 is now. 3.0. We’re gonna make the same show. But it’ll be interesting because Gillian and I are older. I don’t want to act like it’s 20 years ago,” he added.

LG Watch Urbane Price News: New Smartwatch Could Be Most Expensive In The Market

Announced several weeks ago, LG’s brand New Watch Urbane LTE is probably among the best-looking smartwatches in recent memory.

Christian Post Report – The device’s circular display and really crisp colors make it stand out compared to brands.

LG Announces Their New Luxury All Metal Smartwatch, The LG Watch Urbane

However, all these features come with a price.

According to a report by TechnoBuffalo, the LG Watch Urbane LTE will not come cheap, retailing at 650,000 Korean Won, or approximately $588.

If this pricing detail is spot on, then the Watch Urbane LTE smartwatch would be more expensive than most midrange, and even a few high-end smartphones.

In the report, the LG Watch Urbane LTE will boast a 1.3-inch display with 320 x 320 resolution, a powerful Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM for multitasking capabilities.

Other specs include 4GB of built-in storage, a 700mAh battery, and LG’s own take of Android Wear.

Completing the features list for the device are a stainless steel body, a heart rate monitor, SIM support, and LTE connectivity.

While the “regular” LG Watch Urbane is already available in the US through AT&T, it is still unclear whether the LTE-capable edition would make its way overseas as well.

Christian Post Report – Fans of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” will be tuning in for the reunion show as they hope to find answers to the following questions: Will Kim and Kyle settle their differences and restore their relationship as sisters? Will Brandi be lashing out at Lisa Vanderpump or Kyle or any of the other ladies that she has issues with? And will Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna be back for another season after all the craziness that they experienced during season 5?

In a new promo for the Bravo hit’s reunion show, Brandi’s dating life is going to discussed by the other housewives. It can be recalled that while they were in Amsterdam, Brandi went on a date with a younger man who knows Lisa V. and her family. In the video, Brandi admits that she got intimate with him and that they’ve been talking online and he wants to come to the U.S. to visit her.

However, Lisa V. claims that the same guy told her something very different, and here is when tension starts to build in the studio. She also said that it was unbecoming of Brandi to be with someone so much younger than her.

Brandi is not thrilled with this as she immediately lashes out at Lisa and accuses her of wanting the guy for herself. The ladies then turn on Brandi for what they think is a low blow.

That’s not all the drama that will happen on the reunion show as Lisa Rinna took to her Bravo blog and wrote that the reunion was “a nightmare of epic proportions, like a roller coaster you were trapped on for 10 hours”. A few weeks ago, some of the housewives took to social media to post that this season’s reunion show was the hardest and most exhausting so far compared to previous seasons.

Watch “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion show on Tuesday, March 31 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Dragon Age Inquisition ‘Jaws of Hakkon’ DLC Release Date for PC, Xbox One; No Launch Date for PS3 and PS4 Yet

The third game in the “Dragon Age” series, “Dragon Age: Inquisition,” received its first DLC called “Jaws of Hakkon” on March 24. The DLC release was limited to selected consoles, particularly the Xbox One and the PC.

Christian Post Report – YouTube screenshot of the Jaws of Hakkon trailer.

The game’s developer BioWare said that because of an exclusivity contract with Microsoft, they could not announce when the DLC pack will be available for the Sony consoles, particularly the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4. The contract restricts them for a limited time only, and according to a report in GameSpot, the developer’s general manager Aaran Flynn assured that it will be coming to other consoles soon.

According to another report in IGN, exclusivity contracts such as these usually last for 30 days, so the report says this may be the case for the “Jaws of Hakkon” DLC. Bioware said that they cannot even say how long the exclusivity deal will run. The developers also expressed a little concern about “boycotts.” 

“I hope no one boycotts the purchase, as it’s a pretty fun adventure that will be available on all platforms,” Flynn told GameSpot.

The report also said that Bioware hopes to make additional announcements about the PS4 release next week. What is up in the air is if the developer will make the DLC available for older consoles such as the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

The “Jaws of Hakkon” DLC is the first DLC pack for the game since it’s released in November 2014. According to the game’s wiki page, it will “reveal the last Inquisitor and the powerful dragon he hunted.” A new playable region called Frostback Basin becomes available which is said to be covered in mountains and lush forests, “where danger lurks in the shadowy undergrowth.” Players will be able to get new armor and weapons and will “unearth an ancient secret that could destroy the world.”

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Air Date, Plot News: Peter Dinklage Reveals A Major Storyline Spoiler (VIDEO)

“Game of Thrones'” actor Peter Dinklage inadvertently let slip a major spoiler for season five of the award-winning epic miniseries, which returns to HBO next month.

Christian Post Report – Dinklage, who plays witty and sarcastic Tyrion Lannister on “Game of Thrones,” just released a big spoiler for season five, which premieres April 12 on HBO.

Dinklage was interviewed by Popsugar recently and accidently revealed Tyrion’s fate on the show, which sees him journeying to Meereen to meet the Mother of Dragons, and coming face to face with a dragon himself.

When asked what burning question he would want George R.R Martin, author of the fantasy novels, “A Song of Fire and Ice” on which the TV series is based, to answer, Dinklage thought long and hard before answering:

“Do I die?” The pint-sized English actor ruminated out loud. “I just wanna know.”

He followed this statement by saying they would be filming for season six soon, giving away the fact that Tyrion Lannister does survive season 5.

“But I guess I just did a spoiler that I don’t die this season,” the Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor said with a rueful grin.

Fans of Dinklage, whose character has amassed a large number of followers since the show opened in 2011, will be relieved to learn he will not be one of the major characters Martin earlier said the show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were planning on killing off during season 5, despite those characters not dying in the book version.

Tyrion, who fans are rooting for as a strong contender for the Iron Throne, will be around come season six. Whether he will ally himself with Daenerys Targaryen to support her claim in Westeros, or end up opposing her remains to be seen this season, which starts off in two weeks on HBO.

Star Wars Live Action TV Series Really Happening?

Star Wars Live Action TV Series Really Happening?
STAR WARS: The Force Awakens YOUTUBESCREENSHOT

“STAR WARS: The Force Awakens” opens in theaters December 18, 2015

Christian Post Report – The “Star Wars” live action TV series project has never really progressed beyond pronouncements from original “Star Wars” creator and Lucasfilm head George Lucas and producers attached to the project that there were scripts available and that they were only waiting for production costs to significantly go down. All this was happening between 2005 and 2011.

After Walt Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2013, ABC Studios announced that they were looking into the possibility of continuing the TV series project and in 2014, there were rumors that casting was on the way for “Star Wars” projects.

Just recently, rumors started circulating again that the TV series project is back in the pipeline again. According to a report in io9 and Cinelinx, Disney and Lucasfilm are revisiting the project. Both reports likened the TV series in development to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In terms of storylines, the Cinelinx report says that it will not likely be based on the original scripts Lucas earlier wrote when they were still planning for the project, which supposedly focuses on a mob-like group of criminal bosses who controlled the criminal underworld under the Empire. Since the old scripts are out of the question, the series will supposedly be based on any of the 20 new stories that are in development.

According to io9, these stories could cover the period after the events in “The Return of the Jedi” up until the events in the upcoming “The Force Awakens.”

An Entertainment Weekly report lists some of the books, which include individual stories of characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Hans Solo and C-3PO among others. There will also be a book that is an epilogue for the original trilogy. Most of these books will be published between now and the release of “The Force Awakens,” and is said to target the young adult (YA) audience.

“It’s a way to introduce the heroes and villains of that original trilogy to a new audience that might not be as familiar as the audience that went and saw the films when they first came out,” said Disney Publishing exc Andrew Sugerman.
