Months after wrapping up filming and getting post-production work done for its November release this year, Constantin Films, Screen Gems, and Sony Pictures have released the first look photos for “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” - which is directed by Johannes Roberts and will be an adaptation of the first two games of the Resident Evil/ Biohazard game series, leaving behind the Milla Jovovich and Paul W.S Anderson continuity of films and adapting the source material instead.

The film stars Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield, Hannah John-Kamen as Jill Valentine, Kaya Scodelario as Claire Redfield, and Avan Jogia as Leon S. Kennedy. Tom Hopper plays Albert Wesker, and Lisa Trevor from the RE Remake is also out going to be in the remake.

"Rest in Power, King" - The world honors Chadwick Boseman a year since his passing

 


It's hard to believe that it's been one year to the day since Chadwick Boseman passed away after battling colon cancer. The Howard University graduate continued to act despite his illness - and he contributed so many stellar performances throughout his career... With his most well-known role being of course the King of Wakanda and Black Panther of the Marvel Cinematic Universe himself, T'Challa.


Now that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is currently shooting, the role of T'Challa will NOT be recast as revealed by Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios. Instead, we will eventually find out what has become of the character story wise - and what will become of the Black Panther mantle whether it goes to his sister Shuri or someone else. Time will tell, and one of the last parts Chadwick Boseman portrayed was lending his voice for What If? where T'Challa became Star-Lord instead of Peter Quill.


Rest in Power, King. We miss you.

The Arrowverse will be having its annual crossover event again soon and using a familiar DC storyline name to boot, as "Armageddon" has been announced for November 18 - beginning with the premiere episode of The Flash's eight season and stretching for a five part arc that will feature the return of familiar heroes such as Brandon Routh's The Atom, Cress Williams as Black Lightning, and Kat McNamara's Mia Smoak Queen/ Green Arrow. Tom Cavanagh and Neal McDonough return as well as Reverse-Flash and Damien Darhk.

Here's the synopsis on Armageddon as featured on Deadline.

In “Armageddon,” a powerful alien threat arrives on Earth under mysterious circumstances and Barry (Grant Gustin), Iris (Candice Patton) and the rest of Team Flash are pushed to their limits in a desperate battle to save the world. But with time running out, and the fate of humanity at stake, Flash and his companions will also need to enlist the help of some old friends if the forces of good are to prevail.
