In Freaky, Vince Vaughn takes on the role of a lifetime: a teenage girl. The film, from Blumhouse and directed by Happy Death Day's Chris Landon, is essentially a slasher version of Freaky Friday. Freaky sees high school student Millie (Katheryn Newton) swapping bodies with demented serial killer the Blissfield Butcher (Vaughn).On the surface, the premise alone has a lot of great comedic potential. Still, while Vaughn was Landon's first choice for the role, the director wasn't expecting him to be interested."He really was it for me. There were so many boxes that needed to be ticked here," Landon explained. "And it was tricky because I needed somebody that was physically intimidating. I needed someone who was convincingly scary. I needed someone who had really strong acting chops, and someone who's charming and comedic. There's so many things that Vince has to be in this movie and he's, like, literally the only dude that can do all of it. And so we sent the script to him first. And I, honestly, was prepared for him to pass."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The next generation has arrived. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / Series S launch this week, which means you may be upgrading from your PS4 or Xbox One hardware. The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will, for the most part, let you continue using your prior games library with better performance and visual upgrades, and that may prompt you to offload your old PS4 or Xbox One to save space or make a little extra cash. If you're looking to trade-in your current-gen console, here are some options to consider.GameStopGameStop is known for trading used games and hardware, so naturally, it may be the first place you look to trade-in your old console. The games retailer previously offered a more generous amount of trade credit if used toward the preorder of a new console, but that offer appears to be over now that the new consoles are out. The updated trade-in values for your old consoles are slightly less now, but they're still enough to buy a few games or accessories to go with your new hardware.Nintendo Switch, PS4 Pro, Xbox One X -- $175PS4 Slim 1TB -- $140Nintendo Switch Lite -- $125PS4 500GB -- $100Xbox One 500GB -- $75 See more at GameStop Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It sure seems like Netflix cancels a lot of shows. We listed 13 canceled Netflix shows in August, and then 11 more by the time we revisited the question in November. But Netflix says it's no different from other services.Netflix's Global Head of TV, Bela Bajaria, said at the Paley International Council Summit (via Deadline) that the service renews two thirds of its shows."If you look at season twos and more, we actually have a renewal rate of 67%, which is industry standard," Bajaria said. "We also do make a large amount of first season shows, which sometimes feels that we have more first season cancelations, but if you look at the renewal rate, it's really strong."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The PlayStation 5 is beginning its global rollout, with Sony's new system now available in New Zealand, Australia, and select other timezones. Alongside the system comes numerous launch titles, including one that's available through PlayStation Plus at no additional cost: Bugsnax. This is the first PS5 Plus game, and players who don't yet have Sony's next-gen system yet might be wondering if they can claim it before they get the console.The good news is that you absolutely can, as long as you have a valid PS Plus subscription. Once the game hits the service in your region, visiting its PlayStation Store page while logged into your account will allow you to claim it. We can confirm that the game is currently live on the store page in Australia, and we've claimed it without logging into a PS5.This has long been possible with PS4 games, too, but if you're used to claiming games through your console--or simply suspected that you'd need to own the PS5 console first--you might not have been aware of this.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Backwards compatibility on the PlayStation 5 means you can pretty easily jump to the next-generation console while continuing to play most of your old PlayStation 4 games. Moving your games to your new console is pretty easy--you can do it with a disc, with an Ethernet cable, or over Wi-Fi. But you're probably also going to want to bring along your saved game files so you can pick up on your PS5 where you left off on PS4, and that's a little less intuitive.It's not difficult to move game saves from PS4 to PS5, but you do have to go looking through menus to find the spot to do it. The best way is to use a PlayStation Plus subscription and its included cloud storage. If you upload your game saves to the cloud, you can then easily download them to your new console. You can also transfer save files to a USB stick on your PS4 and physically transfer the files without the use of the internet.To grab your save files on your PS5, go into the Settings menu, which is marked by the Gear on top of the user interface. From there, navigate to "Saved Data and Game/App Settings." There, you'll find settings for your game save data on your console (or consoles) and in Cloud Storage. To pull down your game saves for PS4, head to "Saved Data (PS4)" and choose the "Cloud Storage" option. From there, you can see how much game data you've got in the cloud, download saves for specific games, and delete your data.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Demon's Souls on PS5 is a sight to behold. It feels somewhat reductive to focus on how pretty it looks, but having played a handful of hours, it's currently what commands my attention the most. As people around the world invest in expensive new consoles, it's incredibly validating to play a game that is clearly taking a stride forward, so forgive me if I sound a bit superficial--but good grief is it pretty.In Demon's Souls, The Nexus serves as a sort of prison for the wayward souls of those who hunt monsters invading the kingdom of Boletaria. It's the first in a long line of From Software hub locations where the player can seek solace from the ruthlessness of the world around them. To me, however, the PS3 version of The Nexus had an ominous quality and, although it was certainly a safe harbor, it also had frailty to it--like a faint glimmer of light in an endless void of encroaching darkness.Arriving to the PS5 version of The Nexus, however, was genuinely overwhelming. Admittedly, some of that can be attributed to intense nostalgia for a game that sparked an obsession with the sub-genre it pioneered, but to chalk it up to just that would disregard the amount of work Bluepoint has done to bring Demon's Souls to life the way From Software originally envisioned it. And that, I think, is what seems to be the underlying goal of this remake: Take the vision for Demon's Souls, stay true to it, and express it in a way that From Software couldn't back in 2009. And though I'm still quite early in the game, it currently feels like Bluepoint has been successful in this regard.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Arnold Schwarzenegger will once again step into the top-secret shoes of a super-spy. This time, though, he'll do it on the small screen. A new, as-yet-untitled series starring and executive produced by the action star is heading to Netflix, Deadline reports.The series is created by Nick Santora, who is also writing the Jack Reacher television show for Amazon Prime. Along with Schwarzenegger, the show will star Monica Barbaro (Top Gun: Maverick) as his daughter. The series marks Schwarzenegger's first attempt at scripted television. The last time he appeared on television was for his season of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice.The series comes to Netflix via Skydance Television, which previously brought Grace & Frankie and Altered Carbon to Netflix, as well as Jack Ryan to Amazon and the upcoming Foundation to Apple TV. There's no date set just yet. Schwarzenegger has played all manner of gun-wielding authority figure throughout his career from Colonel John Matrix in Commando to Sherriff Ray Owens in The Last Stand. This series, though, can't help but call to mind the 1994 Schwarzenegger vehicle True Lies, in which he played a spy whose identity was secret even from his wife, played by Jamie Lee Curtis.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
