As Space Jam: A New Legacy is nearing its release in theaters and HBO Max on July 16, Entertainment Weekly has a cover story on the sequel offering a first look with some stills. There are a few you can see in the tweet below, and an additional handful in the story, which focuses more on LeBron James's dedication of learning how to act and offers a few details on the plot.Game on! In @SpaceJamMovie, @KingJames leads the charge as the Looney Tunes’ superteam reunites for the craziest basketball game anyone has ever witnessed. See the FIRST LOOK: https://t.co/jurZXtwxBV Story by @derekjlawrence pic.twitter.com/q2ztmQorQd — Entertainment Weekly (@EW) March 4, 2021The EW piece confirms a synopsis that leaked late last year for the film, which has James struggling to relate to his son Dom (Ceyair J. Wright) who's "much more interested in creating games than playing them." His son's tech skills attract the attention of a CGI humanoid named AI G Rhythm (Don Cheadle), and lures the father and son into "the Warner 3000 entertainment 'Server-verse,'" where an epic basketball game will settle a dispute over followers on social media. It sounded far-fetched as the plot last year, and it still does, but according to the EW article, what will really surprise audiences is the film's surprising emotional depth."We go deeper and attempt to hug at the heartstrings," director Malcolm D. Lee says. Cheadle adds that James has "more acting to do" than Michael Jordan did in the original.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The song garnered millions of views and hundreds of renditions, with users adding their own take to Evans' creation. Some added bass vocals, while others played instruments.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski has spoken about the cancelation of his BioShock movie that was in the works a long time ago. Speaking to Collider, Verbinski said he was in trouble from the very beginning, as he pitched the movie as a R-rated film that needed a gigantic budget. The executives at Universal apparently balked."It was strange, my first meeting at Universal on BioShock was sitting in a room and saying, 'Hey guys, this is a $200 million R-rated movie.' And it was silent. I remember my agent going, 'Why did you say that?' I'm like, because it is," he said. "Why just even trying to kill a movie you haven't even started? That's before getting a scripted before anything. I'm just I just want to be clear. And I think everybody at the studio was like,'Well, yeah, okay, maybe. Wow, no. It's big, we know.'"According to Verbinski, Universal "chickened out" and didn't agree to Verbinski's idea to make an R-rated movie with a huge budget. Verbinski said Universal might have been wary to greenlight BioShock because 2009's Watchmen had just released and it struggled at the box office as an R-rated film with a big budget.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The fourth-generation iPad Air is an excellent device that leaves the older design of the base iPad and adopts that of the iPad Pro. Right now, it's also on sale at Amazon. The 64GB iPad Air 4 is $570 (was $600) and the 256GB iPad Air 4 is $680 (was $750). Those aren't the biggest discounts in the world, but Apple products rarely go on sale for less. iPad Air 4 $570 for 64GB | $680 for 256GB The iPad Air 4 boasts a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina, laminated display and is powered by the A14 Bionic chip, both of which are notable upgrades over the base iPad and last-generation iPad Air. Because of its new Pro-like design, it no longer comes with the Home button and requires you to swipe up to return to the home screen--the fingerprint scanner has also been moved to the power button. See at Amazon All five colours are available at Amazon right now, though the silver version is only available with 64GB at this moment. I currently own the 64GB model, and I've found it to be plenty of space, especially if you use it for entertainment purposes. Netflix, other streaming services, and even your iTunes Store purchases can be streamed, so you don't actually need to store your library on the device. Unless you want to save a lot of high-quality photos, use the iPad Air for work, or play a lot of games, you'll likely be good with 64GB.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Respawn has released the full patch notes for the Apex Legends Chaos Theory Collection Event update, which will launch on March 9 alongside the battle royale's release on Switch. There are a lot of substantial changes in this update.The really big stuff is displayed in the trailer for the Chaos Theory Collection Event: Caustic's town takeover is replacing Kings Canyon's Water Treatment, Heat Shields are being added as a solution for temporarily surviving outside the ring, Bangalore is getting an heirloom, and a new Ring Fury limited-time mode will replace standard Trios and Duos. But there are tons of quality-of-life changes beyond these ones which will have significant impacts on Apex Legends' in-match meta.Changes To CharactersThis update takes a stab at reworking the defender class, with balance changes for Wattson, Caustic, Gibraltar, and Rampart. The change to Wattson--she now passively regenerates shields, similarly to how Octane regenerates health--is an interesting one. As the smallest defender, Wattson is the only one to take extra damage on account of her Low Profile perk. Assumedly, this update is to address that weakness, stacking on top of the shield regeneration provided by her Intercept Pylon to further solidify her as someone who always bunkers down. She'll likely now be able to survive just a little bit longer, passively healing between fights as she reestablishes her defenses.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
