The recently launched Discovery+ streaming service is rolling out original content, and coming soon is Luda Can't Cook. The cooking original follows Ludacris--F9 franchise star and a self-admitted terrible home cook--whose endgame is to be able to make an edible dinner for his mother. Is there anything more wholesome than that?Premiering on Discovery+ on February 25, Chris Bridges--also known as Ludacris--will star on the one-hour long special. He can't cook, and he'll be the first one to tell you that. "I have a wife, and she does all the cooking, which is part of the reason I can't cook because I'm lazy and whenever I'm hungry, I want to eat," Ludacris said during a panel at the TCA winter press tour. "I don't want to cook. It's a timing thing because I'm so busy. My kitchen is pretty fully equipped. I just rely on her to cook everything."That doesn't mean Ludacris hasn't tried to cook in the past. "I don't even know how to cook rice," he admitted. "I'm gonna be honest with you guys, like if I tried to put some rice in there, it's gonna stick to the pot."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

1C Entertainment and Koch Media have announced that King's Bounty 2--the successor to the turn-based tactical RPG King's Bounty-- will be released on August 24 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. This is a delay from the game's original March 2021 release date, due to the developers deciding more time was needed to ensure the best experience for players."As a team, we had to make the difficult decision to move King’s Bounty 2's release to a later point in 2021 to ensure the team has adequate time to deliver a King's Bounty best possible experience," said Nikolay Baryshnikov, CEO of 1C Entertainment.According to a producer on the team, the game is basically ready, but it needs a bit more time to get things just right. "We are currently at a stage where the game is complete and playable, but we need more time to finish playtesting, fixing, polishing, and postponing launch will give us the precious months to balancing phase, much needed for such important project for us," said King's Bounty 2 producer Denis Maltzev.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Disciples series is back, with publisher Kalypso Media and developer Frima Studio announcing Disciples: Liberation will be released for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in Q4 2021. The dark fantasy strategy RPG franchise hasn't seen a new entry since Disciples III: Renaissance, which came out over a decade ago.A new (very creepy) trailer for Disciples: Liberation released alongside the announcement (as a heads up: maybe skip it if you're not a fan of needles or folks messing with eyeballs). In it, you see a man and a woman undergoing a painful-looking ritual being forced upon them by a shaman-looking character, before the woman awakens and goes outside to meet with the man and shaman she saw in her dream--it's implied that she saw a dark consequence to choices she could have made, but thankfully it seems she managed to avoid that fate.It's a very unsettling trailer, y'all.If Disciples: Liberation looks interesting to you, you can sign up for the game's closed alpha. It's only taking 200 players though, so maybe curb your expectations if you're thinking "Oh, I'll definitely make it in."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Paramount Pictures has tapped Godzilla vs Kong's Adam Wingard to direct the upcoming re-imagining of Face/Off, according to Deadline. Wingard will also co-write the script with his writing partner Simon Barrett (You're Next).A remake of this 1997 single-malt batty action flick is a tall and truly bizarre order since it will likely be difficult to outdo the original. For readers who have not yet experienced the unique film, you can check out our list of 23 things to know beforehand--but the cult classic where sworn enemies John Travolta (playing Sean Archer, and FBI agent) and Nicolas Cage (playing Castor Troy, a terrorist) exchange faces is a lot for anyone to wrap their minds around. Despite Face/Off's potent mind-blowing capabilities for just existing in the first place, the film was a commercial success at the time, grossing $245 million worldwide. So, in some ways, it's no wonder a remake will be attempted and the real question is why it has taken this long.For Cage, Face/Off represents one of countless roles where the actor has demonstrated an innate ability to transcend expectations and the boundaries of even good taste--he is beyond brilliant in roles that are beyond dumb. It's thanks to this that he has stayed busy and remarkably prolific, including a recent turn as Nicolas Cage playing Nicolas Cage on Netflix's History of Swear Words. That film seems tame compared to The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, an upcoming 2021 film in which the actor plays himself as an inadvertent CIA informant against a drug kingpin.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Streaming services Disney+ and Hulu both saw massive increases in subscriptions over the past year. As of January 2, Disney+ went from 26.5 million in December 2019 to 94.9 million and Hulu went from 30.4 million to 39.4 million during the same span as people around the globe bunkered down during the COVID-19 pandemic.Disney+ saw a tremendous growth in its subscriber base between December 28, 2019 and January 2, 2021, nearing 95 million subscribers, according to Disney's Q1 earnings report. This is a 258% increase in people who have signed up for the streaming service over the past year.However, revenue for the service dipped 28% per subscriber over that same time period. The reason for that stems from Disney+ Hotstar, which launched on April 3, 2020 and September 5, 2020 in India and Indonesia, respectively. As explained in the report, the "average monthly revenue per paid subscriber for Disney+ Hotstar is significantly lower than the average monthly revenue per paid subscriber for Disney+ in other markets." These numbers do not take into account Disney+'s Premier Access, in which subscribers could pay a premium to watch Mulan early during Spring 2020.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

As of this writing, there are at least five projects in the works about the recent GameStop/Reddit stock price drama and controversy. According to Variety, Netflix is now in production on a documentary series that will look closer at the "seismic shift in how the world's money behaves," and feature "exclusive access" to financial world "luminaries" and key members of the WallStreetBets community.This new project is coming from Story Syndicate. Previous productions from the company include The Innocence Project (about efforts to exonerate and free wrongly convicted prisoners) and All In: The Fight for Democracy (about the history of voter suppression in the United States).While there may soon be a separate explanation necessary for why so many projects are suddenly in development for events that only took place a few weeks ago--you can, in the meantime, at least read GameSpot's primer on just what is going on with Reddit and the struggling retail store. It's also likely helpful to remember that while this and the four other projects in development are being explored, it is not necessarily a guarantee these will all see the light of day.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Marvel's Black Widow is set to release on May 7 this year, after being delayed from May 2020. Disney's CEO Bob Chapek stated in the company's latest earnings call that movie will still be released in theaters, but it sounds like there is a chance it could be delayed again depending on numerous factors.During the Q1 Disney earnings call, Chapek was asked about whether or not Black Widow will release theatrically in May. "We are still intending it to be a theatrical release," he explained. "But, again, we are going to be watching very carefully. The reopening of theaters, and the consumer sentiment--in terms of the desire to go back to theaters--to see whether that strategy needs to be revisited. But as of now, the strategy is to continue on with the theatrical release, and we'll be watching very, very carefully."Black Widow coming to Disney+'s Premier Access seems out of the question. The next film to be a part of the streaming service's premium section is the animated film Raya and the Last Dragon, which arrives on March 5.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
