‘Deathloop’ E3 Trailer Looks Insanely Cool
Bethesda’s E3 conference was exciting and filled with some great upcoming titles like Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein: Youngblood and some new content headed to Fallout 76 and Rage 2. But for me the showstopper was for the insanely cool looking Deathloop.
Part Grindhouse throwback and part propulsive sci-fi, Deathloop takes two assassins and places them on the lawless island of Blackreef where for whatever reason they are both stuck within a, well, Deathloop.
The trailer features the two assassins going to head to head each day with dueling ideologies and all out bloodlust for extermination of the other party. All set to a re-imagining of Martha Reeves Nowhere to Run, Deathloop looks like it has a lot going for it.
Arkane Studios the team behind Dishonored promise that the game is built with their trademark mechanic of approaching situations however you want, rather it be loud and bloody or sneaky and bloody.
We can’t wait for this one. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments.

Mike Flanagan In Talks to Direct New Exorcist Movie for Blumhouse
Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) is a national treasure that must be protected at all costs. Not only has he created some of the best horror series to ever exist, but he also managed to make a Ouija Board movie genuinely terrifying.
A report from Deadline yesterday indicates that we may be seeing even more from this legendary storysmith. According to Deadline sources, Flanagan is in talks with Blumhouse and Universal Pictures to direct the next Exorcist film. However, Universal Pictures and Blumhouse have declined to comment on this collaboration at this time.
This change comes after The Exorcist: Believer failed to meet Blumhouse’s expectations. Initially, David Gordon Green (Halloween)was hired to create three Exorcist films for the production company, but he has left the project to focus on his production of The Nutcrackers.
If the deal goes through, Flanagan will take over the franchise. Looking at his track record, this could be the right move for the Exorcist franchise. Flanagan consistently delivers amazing horror media that leave audiences clamoring for more.
It would also be perfect timing for Flanagan, as he just wrapped up filming the Stephen King adaptation, The Life of Chuck. This isn’t the first time he has worked on a King product. Flanagan also adapted Doctor Strange and Gerald’s Game.
He has also created some amazing Netflix originals. These include The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Midnight Club, and most recently, The Fall of the House of Usher.
If Flanagan does take over, I think the Exorcist franchise will be in good hands.

Director Louis Leterrier Creating New Sci-Fi Horror Film “11817”
According to an article from Deadline, Louis Leterrier (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) is about to shake things up with his new Sci-Fi horror film 11817. Leterrier is set to produce and direct the new Movie. 11817 is penned by the glorious Mathew Robinson (The Invention of Lying).
Rocket Science will be taking the film to Cannes in search of a buyer. While we don’t know much about what the film looks like, Deadline offers the following plot synopsis.
“The film watches as inexplicable forces trap a family of four inside their house indefinitely. As both modern luxuries and life or death essentials begin to run out, the family must learn how to be resourceful to survive and outsmart who — or what — is keeping them trapped…”
“Directing projects where the audience gets behind the characters has always been my focus. However complex, flawed, heroic, we identify with them as we live through their journey,” said Leterrier. “It’s what excites me about 11817‘s wholly original concept and the family at the heart of our story. This is an experience that movie audiences won’t forget.”
Leterrier has made a name for himself in the past for working on beloved franchises. His portfolio includes gems such as Now You See Me, The Incredible Hulk, Clash of The Titans, and The Transporter. He is currently attached to create the final Fast and the Furious film. However, it will be interesting to see what Leterrier can do working with some darker subject material.
