After 10 years behind the microphone, Roger Craig Smith is finished voicing Sonic the Hedgehog in Sega's video games. Who will take over? That remains to be seen, but now actor Ben Schwartz, who voiced Sonic in Paramount's movie, said he has not been approached to do it.Speaking to ComicBook, Schwartz said he hasn't given it any thought because the role had been Smith's for so long. Now that Smith is ending his run, the question about who will replace him has come up and entered his mind, but no one has approached Schwartz about the job."The first time that it's ever come up was because Roger seems to be stepping away, so, the first time ever, people are asking me I wonder, nobody's asked me, between you and I, I haven't really answered this question yet but nobody's come up to me and said anything so my assumption is that, who knows?" he said. "But I wonder."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In an interview with IGN, Resident Evil Village art director Tomonori Takano elaborated on how the design for Lady Dimitrescu came to be. The team started with the concept of a "bewitching vampire" and went on to pull inspiration from several femme fatales including Anjelica Huston's Morticia Addams, Japanese urban legend Hashaku-sama, and 16th-century Hungarian noblewoman/serial killer Elizabeth Báthory."In the early stages of planning, we decided on going with [a] castle and vampires motifs," Tomori told IGN. "However, we did not want to be constrained by how vampires have been portrayed in various forms of popular entertainment."It's true that the internet's favorite Big Lady™ doesn't really look like your traditional vampire babe. While her daughters certainly have a Dracula's Mistresses vibe about them, Lady Dimitrescu's aesthetic feels more like something out of a 1920's period film. Not to mention, her staggering size definitely sets her apart from other vampire royalty. "The very first piece of concept art I drew was the scene in the trailer where Lady Dimitrescu ducks down to walk through the doorway," Takano said. "From that moment, I knew I had to do that scene."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Charisma Carpenter, who is best known for her role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, is speaking out about the show's creator, Joss Whedon, for the first time, alleging he "abused his power on numerous occasions." Her comments are a direct response to Justice League star Ray Fisher, who has been very vocal about his alleged treatment by Whedon on that movie's set, and the investigation that followed.The allegations came in the form of two tweets from the actress, who played Cordelia Chase on both shows. In the tweets, Carpenter reveals she took part in WarnerMedia's investigation into Whedon's behavior. "I participated in WarnerMedia's Justice League investigation because I believe Ray to be a person of integrity who is telling his truth," she tweeted. "His firing as Cyborg in The Flash was the last straw for me. Although I am not shocked, I am deeply pained by it."As for her own treatment by Whedon, Carpenter said the experience still impacts her. "For nearly two decades, I have held my tongue and even made excuses for certain events that traumatize me to this day," she wrote. "Joss Whedon abused his power on numerous occasions while working together on the sets of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. While he found his misconduct amusing, it only serves to intensify my performance anxiety, disempower me, and alienate me from my peers. The disturbing incidents triggered a chronic physical condition from which I still suffer. It is with a beating, heavy heart that I say I coped in isolation and, at times, destructively."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

One of the best things about American Horror Story is its self-contained nature. True, there are thematic continuities from season-to-season, and Season 8: Apocalypse was a crossover event that required having watched prior seasons to fully appreciate. But for the most part, the anthology concept holds up. Every new season, creator Ryan Murphy and his rotating, repertory cast have the opportunity to expand their audience. And if you're not feeling it? There will be another season, and a completely different story the following year.We just finished Season 9: 1984--an earnest celebration of slasher tropes that unfortunately did not feature Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange, or Evan Peters. Here is everything we know so far about the upcoming American Horror Story: Season 10.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Actress Gina Carano is facing a backlash on social media over recent posts, including one that compared modern-day political disagreements to Nazi Germany.Variety reports that the star stirred controversy on social media by sharing an Instagram post, suggesting that hating someone for their political views is akin to Germans hating Jewish citizens in 1930s Germany. The post had originally appeared on another account, but Carano's sharing of it sparked controversy."Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children," the post read. "Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The untitled Jean Smart series coming to HBO Max does not have an official title, and it's just months away from debuting on the streaming service. The series follows a young stand-up comedian who lands a job writing jokes for an older comedian who works nightly in Las Vegas.During the TCA winter press tour, the cast discussed the upcoming show where they delved into why the series doesn't have a name yet. "I think part of what the challenge has been for a title is [that] the show really is trying to say so much at once," explained executive producer and series creator Lucia Aniello. "And I think to try to summarize so many different things with just one or two or three words is an interesting exercise, and I think we're in the middle of that exercise right now."But the show is obviously about a larger-than-life person, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), and it also has a two handedness to it, but it also has an ensembleness to it as well. There's just so much that we want to say and so to kind of boil it down into just a quickie kind of a title is an interesting process, and I think we really are just trying to find something that feels like it represents what the show is."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
