Colin Jost, longtime SNL writer and Weekend Update anchor, and his brother Casey, are heading down into the sewers for their next project. The pair are set to write the next, currently untitled, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film for Paramount, according to Deadline.Information is as hard to find right now as a Ninja Turtle hiding in the dark, but Michael Bay is once again back to produce, along with Andrew Form, Brad Fuller, Scott Mednick, and Galen Walker. All five acted as producers on 2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot and its sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. Last we'd heard, a new Ninja Turtles flick was in the works with Andrew Dodge (Bad Words) writing; this appears to be a new or at least overhauled project.The film will almost certainly be a reboot. After the poor box office pull for Out of the Shadows, Form indicated in a 2016 interview with Collider that a third movie of that particular iteration of everyone's favorite pizza-eating amphibians was unlikely. It probably won't be a musical, though.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Epic has confirmed Ariana Grande will headline the Fortnite Rift Tour following weeks of leaks and rumors culminating with her in-game skin appearing online today via a French Fortnite social channel. The Rift Tour kicks off this Friday, August 6, with the first of five showings beginning at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET. Players around the world will have multiple chances to join the interactive concert--and should expect a few in-game rewards and other surprises along the way.We first heard of a possible Ariana Grande in-game concert when Epic and Apple took their financial battle to court. Some of the same documents revealed during the trial also tipped off the massive Fortnite community to future events such as the NBA crossover and LeBron James skin. Then a leak on Reddit a few weeks ago suggested the concert was happening this summer. Now it's official: Ariana Grande will perform in-game alongside the debut of her very own Icon Series cosmetic set.Epic seems to have planned to reveal the full details on August 2 according to the developer's wording last week, but was apparently moved to reveal the show's main act a day early after undisputed leaks popped up online. Nevertheless, there should still be more for fans to learn in the days ahead, as Epic has promised a second wave of Rift Tour Quests, and has even hinted that some free cosmetics will be earned not just before the show, but during and after it as well.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

According to producers, the creative team behind the upcoming ​​Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom gave no credence whatsoever to the online petition calling on Warner Bros. to remove actor Amber Heard from the movie. Indeed, Aquaman and the Lost of Kingdom began production on July 19, and Heard is reprising her role as Atlantean queen Mera.The public appeal was another one of those things that makes you question what the internet is ultimately good for--Heard has characterized the appeal previously as a "paid campaign" instigated by fans of her ex-husband Johnny Depp, who previously was asked to back from his role in Fantastic Beasts 3 after a UK tabloid called him a "wife-beater."But, in a new podcast interview released by Deadline, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom producer Peter Safran said, "I don't think we're ever going to react to, honestly, pure fan pressure… You gotta do what's best for the movie. We felt that if it's [director] James Wan, and Jason Momoa, it should be Amber Heard. That's really what it was."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic's next patch is now live on the game's Public Test Realm, allowing players to test out two new raids in the form of Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep, as well as features like guild banks and a group browser tool.The test version of the game's patch 2.5.2 also seems to be curiously missing an emote, specifically the /spit emote directed at other players. Since the launch of Blizzard's MMO, players have been able to spit at other players or characters by targeting them and typing /spit. That no longer works in the latest PTR build, though players can still use the emote on the ground.Blizzard has not commented on the change, and the emote can still be used in the current version of Burning Crusade Classic as well as the latest Shadowlands expansion, leading players to wonder why exactly the change is happening. According to WoWhead, some are speculating it may be related to players using the emote to harass players who purchased the digital deluxe edition for Burning Crusade Classic, a bundle of microtransactions that include a level boost and a brand-new mount that never existed in the original version of Burning Crusade.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Halo Infinite beta players have found a creative way to compete prior to the game's official launch, and it doesn't even involve shooting each others' characters in the face. While the beta is limited to Arena Slayer and a training mode called The Academy, experienced Spartans have started racking up Academy scores to compare online.Academy is meant to be an advanced tutorial, helping onboard newcomers and teach veterans some of the more nuanced techniques that it takes to be a top-tier Halo player.

So naturally it didn't take long for players to start to gamify the tutorials.343's David Ellis, who works on the Academy, has been sharing some notable scores on Twitter under the hashtag WeaponDrillHighScore. Ellis requested people share their own scores with the hashtag, and subsequently asked that players participating share their platform and input device.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
