Blood-C Movie Announced

Following the series finale of the divisive Blood-C anime was a huge announcement regarding a movie follow-up. It has been confirmed that in June 22nd of 2012, a Blood-C film will premiere in cinemas across Japan.

The film is set to be a continuation and conclusion to the anime series. The film is a collaboration between legendary animation studio Production I.G and all female manga artist group CLAMP.

While the anime has recieved a “love it or hate it” reaction from viewers, the series was still popular enough to spawn a cinematic adaptation. Little else is known about the film as of now, however fans have already begun speculating on the plot and even the ending. Feel free to leave your own speculation in the shout box or comments section below.

Mortal Kombat is now a movie, again!

That’s right Warner Bros. have given the thumbs up on a new Mortal Kombat film, this time rebooting the franchise with the option of even more possible films.

This news may come as no surprise to some as the man who will be spear heading the project, Kevin Tancharoen, is also the man who took the internet by storm with his incredibly popular Mortal Kombat Rebirth movie trailer and subsequent 10 part Mortal Kombat web-series.

After inital grumblings from Warner Bros. bigwigs regarding his Mortal Kombat movie trailer (that they did not approve of), they eventually kneeled down to his apparent genius (millions of hits) and just decided to just let him make them money.

As for now we have no real clue what the movie will be about or whether it would even be good. However, Tancharoen is well known for pulling off fatalities (directing Fame and Glee 3D!), so maybe that will be to his advantage.

The film is currently slated for a release of 2013, when Tancharoen will rip out his own heart and call it Mortal Kombat.

Dungeons – The Dark Lord is the standalone add-on to Dungeons, a game for the PC released by Kalypso Media, where you can “be evil and feel good”.  New features in Dungeons – The Dark Lord include a new fully voiced single player campaign of about 8 hours of gameplay; four multiplayer modes for up to four players (Deathmatch, Pinata, King of the Hill and Survival); an ice crystal cave dungeon setting; over 90 new gimmicks; playable bosses in multiplayer modes; and a new Dungeons Map Editor.

In Dungeons, an evil scheme developed by an execrable evil ex-girlfriend befalls on our hero and is now at the top of the dungeon pile – in this world, top apparently means bottom – and it couldn’t get any worse from there! He now has to make his way back down the dungeon levels and up the underworld hierarchy by killing heroes who get a kick out of invading dungeons and get his sweet revenge! You won’t know what’s hit you evil ex-girlfriend!
