A Breaking Bad fan has recreated Walter White’s house using Far Cry 5’s map editor, and the virtual reproduction is a dead ringer for the genuine article. Complete with even the pizza Walter threw atop the roof in anger, the Far Cry 5 version of the house that meth built is nearly indistinguishable from the real-life house exterior featured in the acclaimed TV show. Breaking Bad ended more than five years ago, yet the show’s most infamous scenes are still going strong in popular memory....

Five years after being named the highest-paid actress in Hollywood over 40, Cameron Diaz is calling it quits. The 45-year-old has reportedly retired, but there just may be a Hollywood twist. It’s been nearly a quarter-century since Diaz made her feature film debut in 1994’s The Mask. Playing opposite Jim Carrey, the actress was suddenly a hot topic of pop culture conversations, and she maintained a steady working career throughout the 90s, culminating in arguably her most iconic role as the title character in the Farrelly Brothers’ 1998 comedy There’s Something About Mary....

With Marvel Studios building an increasingly expansive and interconnected universe, events in one of the Marvel movies can have consequences for each one that comes after it. That will certainly be the case with Captain America: Civil War, in which the various heroes introduced throughout past movies will have to take sides in a fight that will determine the course of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to come. Some of those heroes will be new to the MCU, such as Spider-Man and Black Panther, but their stories aren’t the only ones that will be shaped by the events of Civil War....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has come a long way since the first tease of “The Avengers Initiative” back in 2008 - during the post-credits scene of Iron Man. Two short years later, and director Jon Favreau returned with Iron Man 2 - which officially introduced several shared universe story elements and characters, most notably: Agent Coulson and Natasha Romanoff (aka Black Widow). Despite years of fan-favorite comic book stories, the packed plot and Phase 1 movie set-up of Iron Man 2 prevented Scarlett Johansson from placing Black Widow front and center in the MCU spotlight....

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Avengers: Back to Basics #4 - Captain America return to his Nomad persona and costume in Marvel Comics, just in time for a similar shift in the Marvel movies. His transformation occurs in the latest issue of Avengers: Back to Basics, just over a week ahead of the release of Avengers: Infinity War. in which the Chris Evans version of Steve Rogers is expected to adapt elements of Nomad in the MCU....

It was the Marquis de Vauvenargues, a French moralist and writer who once said that “Great men undertake great things because they are great… fools, because they think them easy.” Those words most definitely apply to the DC Comics villain Captain Boomerang (a.k.a. George “Digger” Harkness), a beer-swilling, racist, ‘ranging member of The Flash’s infamous Rogues Gallery who tangled with forces well above him and, somehow, found his way into comic book readers’ hearts....

Want to see if your iPad works with Apple Pencil? Read on for a list of which iPads work with the first- and second-generation writing and drawing tool to check Apple Pencil compatibility. Not all iPads are compatible with the first- or second-generation Apple Pencil, but most of the iPads released in the last few years support the writing tool. If you were given one, or already bought one, here’s how to know which model you have: the first-generation Apple Pencil is fully cylindrical with a glossy finish and Lightning connector, the second-generation has a flat side with a matte finish and no Lightning connector....

2016’s all-female Ghostbusters reboot may not have been a critical or box office smash hit as Sony would’ve wanted, but Marvel fans need to thank the Paul Feig project for Chris Hemsworth’s new and more effective approach in playing Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hemsworth played Kevin Beckman in the movie - Abby, Erin, Holtzmann and Patty’s gorgeous but pretty slow secretary. It’s no secret that prior to Thor: Ragnarok, the God of Thunder was arguably the least liked Avenger - at least when it came to MCU’s founding triumvirate that also includes Robert Downey Jr....

While the Cyberpunk 2077 E3 2018 trailer looked great, it didn’t provide a ton of new details on CD Projekt RED’s upcoming role-playing game. Well, at least that’s what we thought until some eagle-eyed fans spotted that the trailer has a secret message encoded into it. The message addresses everything from whether or not the game will have microtransactions to the game’s lengthy development cycle. Cyberpunk 2077 was originally announced way back in 2012, while the developer focused on developing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt....

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Darth Vader #15 - The Star Wars comics have answered some lingering fan questions, revealing Darth Vader to be able to survive, use his lightsaber, and Force-manipulate marine. All those discoveries in one single story may be hard for fans to resist, but the Sith’s trip to Mon Cala is just the latest plotline and twist on Star Wars canon to be delivered in Marvel’s Darth Vader comic series....

David Fincher is directing the biopic Mank for Netflix about Citizen Kane co-writer Herman Mankiewicz, with Gary Oldman set to star. Although Mankiewicz is best known as Orson Welles screenwriting partner on Citizen Kane - for which they received the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay - he worked on many other films throughout his career, including The Wizard of Oz, The Pride of the Yankees and Duck Soup. The Mankiewicz biopic will be Fincher’s first feature film since 2014’s Gone Girl....

Warner Bros. showed footage from the DC Extended Universe’s Aquaman movie at SDCC 2017 but won’t release it online - so when will fans get to watch it? The studio officially launched the DCEU last spring with the premiere of Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, a loose followup to the director’s 2013 film, Man of Steel. However, Batman V Superman wasn’t well liked by critics, and inspired a decidedly divisive reaction among casual moviegoers and DC fans....

Like the comic book it’s based on, SYFY’s Deadly Class TV series bears the hallmarks of a number of influences, and as such is a fascinating grab-bag that’s unlike any other comic book show on television right now. Executive produced by Joe and Anthony Russo (otherwise known as the guys who helped Thanos kill half the universe in Avengers: Infinity War), with Remender himself serving as co-showrunner along with Miles Orion Feldsott, the series aims to be an ultra-faithful adaptation of the comic book, and one that has a killer soundtrack to boot....

Hideo Kojima says that although his upcoming Death Stranding contains some A-List talent, the game isn’t trying to legitimize through the use of big-name actors. With the likes of Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, and Léa Seydoux all lending their likeness to the ambitious PlayStation exclusive, Kojima promises it isn’t an easy way to sell more copies. Despite an extensive E3 presentation where Death Stranding showed off its gameplay, fans are still no closer to understanding what is going on in the game....

There’s not long left until The Defenders premieres on Netflix, and if there wasn’t already enough hype around the new series the streaming service has released a new clip. Posted on Twitter, the short video from episode 1 focuses on Daredevil and it makes it very clear that the vigilante still suffers from Catholic guilt as much as ever. Charlie Cox appears in a confession booth, as Matt Murdoch wearing his attorney-at-law uniform, and it sounds like he’s still very much conflicted by his former life and the loss of Elektra - who sacrificed her life for his at the end of Daredevil season two....

WARNING: The following article contains SPOILERS for Disenchantment. - Fans of Matt Groening’s work will not be surprised to learn that Disenchantment - the new fantasy series Groening created for Netflix - contains a number of Easter eggs and references to his earlier work. The early seasons of The Simpsons often made reference to Groening’s comic strip Life In Hell, and the sci-fi comedy Futurama also paid tribute to Groening’s past creations - even before an official crossover was arranged between Springfield’s favorite family and the employees of Planet Express....

Disney’s live-action The Sword in the Stone remake is among the projects that will debut as Original Movies through Disney’s streaming service, when the platform formally launches in 2019. The Mouse House’s as yet unnamed streaming service will serve as direct competition for Netflix, offering original content from not only Disney and its affiliates (Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Pixar), but also the properties that the company is in the process of acquiring from Fox....

The latest installment in the Marvel cinematic universe has already made a big impact, with Doctor Strange igniting box offices and passing $100 million at the domestic box office alone. The origin story of Doctor Strange delves into the mystic arts, featuring a rich visual feast for the eyes and mind-bending effects. A 3D viewing is especially worth it here, including stunning graphics inspired by the gravity-defying scenes from Inception and bold artwork from M....

Margot Robbie is hoping to have a diverse cast around her for Birds of Prey. One of the DCEU’s greatest strengths so far is the diverse nature of their lineup. Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, for example, is very different from the traditional Arthur Curry look. However, they’ve also been a prime example of giving females starring roles and seeing the success that can come with it. Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is their highest grossing and best critically received movie....

Erik Killmonger’s costume from Marvel’s Black Panther movie was partially inspired by the famous rapper, Tupac Shakur. One of the most praised aspects of the Black Panther movie - which was directed by Ryan Coogler and based on a script co-written by Coogler and screenwriter Joe Robert Cole - was the villain Killmonger. Michael B. Jordan’s performance as Killmonger added depth to the character’s already profound story arc that intertwined with the titular hero, T’Challa, aka Black Panther....
