‘Intersections’ Coming to Home Media on October 15

French film auteur Luc Besson had a 2014 box office smash in Lucy, starring Scarlett Johansson, and the Marvel connection continues with Intersections, starring Frank Grillo (Brock Rumlow in Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and Jaimie Alexander (Lady Sif in Thor, Thor: The Dark World). The 2013 made thriller is finally hitting store shelves in Australia under its original title (known as Collision in the U.S.) this October 15th thanks to Icon Home Entertainment, on Blu-ray and DVD, as well as Digital.

To celebrate his honeymoon, Scott Dolan (Grillo), an international hedge fund manager, has travelled to Morocco with Taylor (Alexander), his new bride. Flying by helicopter, they reach a remote Moroccan hotel unaware that this was going to be an unforgettable holiday for all the wrong reasons. Everything is going to plan until Scott decides to go in search of some fascinating abandoned forts in the desert. He and Taylor take their rented four-wheel drive for a spin through the sand dunes until things turn for the worse. Pursued suddenly by an aggressive driver in the middle of the desert, they have a brutal and disastrous car accident, leaving several people dead and numerous injured. Facing the horror of the accident, Scott and Taylor are forced to trust a mysterious group of strangers if they want to get out alive. Soon they’re in the fight of their lives and struggling to untangle themselves from a growing web of betrayal and danger.

Intersections has all the hallmarks of a Luc Besson film, except for the sci-fi tint: well-shot action, great practical effects and impressive performances from its cast. Check it out as a “honeymoon like no other” unfolds.

Over the past few weeks Nippon Ichi Software has been releasing introduction trailers for each of the three girls that players will be able to interact with and court in Great Edo Blacksmith and today they released the video for the last girl, Asaka. Like the other three girls, Asaka seems to have it all together on the surface, especially in regards to money and teasing the player, but behind closed doors she seems to have struggles of her own.

Alongside this introduction video, a full trailer for Great Edo Blacksmith was released and with it comes some of the first gameplay footage we have seen for the dungeon crawling aspect of the game. The trailers can be found below and while it is unknown if NIS America will look into bringing this title to the West, they have surprised us before.

Finally, we have a firm release date announced for Mortal Kombat X. While I, being an MK fanatic who is lacking patience, was hoping for a January/February release, Mortal Kombat X will be available for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and, yes, PC on April 15, 2015 in Australia and the next day in New Zealand.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment not only revealed that, but also (as you’ve already seen above) a pre-order bonus: Goro, as a playable character for the first time in almost 8 years! I expect that the Shokan Prince will be made available as a separate DLC add-on later on, but for now he is being marketed as retail channel-wide exclusive. Fighting game/MK fans… go pre-order, now! Or the four-armed warrior will break your $500 sunglasses and treat you like Art. Remember him? Exactly.
