Hey, remember that little game Palworld? Well as of today, it’s surpassed a staggering 25 million players, all within about a month of its early access launch. That’s a lot of people shooting at or alongside their legally distinct “pals,” not Pokémon. Love it or hate it—or don’t get it all, like myself—people have…

The Terminator franchise has spent the last thirty years chasing the high of the first two movies, and Linda Hamilton thinks it’s time to finally let it die.
Linda Hamilton starred in The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day as Sarah Connor and later returned for Terminator: Dark Fate, but she is not interested in reprising the role for any further potential reboots. “I’m done. I’m done. I have nothing more to say,” Hamilton told Business Insider. “The story’s been told, and it’s been done to death.“
Hamilton added: “Why anybody would relaunch it is a mystery to me. But I know our Hollywood world is built on relaunches right now.“
Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a similar sentiment last year but believes that the franchise can continue, just not with his involvement. “The franchise is not done. I’m done. I got the message loud and clear that the world wants to move on with a different theme when it comes to The Terminator,” Schwarzenegger said.” Someone has to come up with a great idea. The Terminator was largely responsible for my success, so I always would look at it very fondly. The first three movies were great. Number four [Salvation] I was not in because I was governor. Then five [Genisys] and six [Dark Fate] didn’t close the deal as far as I’m concerned. We knew that ahead of time because they were just not well written.“
Hollywood hates to let a franchise die, so I’m certain Terminator will return at some point. In fact, James Cameron was reportedly writing a new Terminator movie last year but was holding out to see how this whole AI thing plays out. I’d be down for a legit reboot of the franchise, but I just don’t have the energy for yet another sequel that jumps through convoluted time-travel hoops to connect to the first two movies. Give us something genuinely different, or let the franchise slide into molten metal. Thumbs up, baby.
Is there still life left in the Terminator franchise?

Though the Final Fantasy series is infamous for its minigames, it’s never delivered something better than the Final Fantasy VIII card game Triple Triad—until now. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is bursting with more mini-games than you can handle, and while many of them are forgettable, Queen’s Blood stands above the rest.…

Can an online video game die twice? Yes, apparently. Paragon: The Overprime, a competitive online multiplayer game built using assets and designs featured in Epic’s previously killed original Paragon, is being shut down in April.

While Warner Bros. continues to sit on his adaptation of the Stephen King novel Salem’s Lot, filmmaker Gary Dauberman has gone on to sign a first-look feature deal with Sony’s Screen Gems, where he is expected to “create projects for himself while curating a slate featuring established and up-and-coming filmmakers.” One of the projects he has set up at Screen Gems is the video game adaptation Until Dawn, which will be directed by David F. Sandberg. Now Deadline has revealed that Dauberman is going to be producing a film called Ushers for Screen Gems… and we have no idea what Ushers is about, because it’s based on a short story by author Joe Hill (who happens to be a son of Stephen King) that has never been published!
Dauberman and his team at the Coin Operated production company will develop and produce Ushers, with Coin Operated’s President, Mia Maniscalco, also earning a producer credit. Ashley Brucks and Michael Bitar are overseeing the project for the studio.
The film’s screenplay is being written by Zak Olkewicz, whose previous credits include The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Bullet Train, and Fear Street: Part Two – 1978. Olkewicz was also a co-producer on the Sandberg-directed horror film Lights Out.
Joe Hill’s works have previously inspired the films Horns, In the Tall Grass, and The Black Phone, as well as the TV shows NOS4A2 and Locke & Key. A few of his stories have been turned into segments of the anthology series Creepshow – which is very appropriate, since not only did his dad create the Creepshow franchise with George A. Romero, but Hill also had an acting role in the original film. The Black Phone director Scott Derrickson is currently working on a sequel that’s scheduled to reach theatres next year.
Last month, Hill mentioned on social media that the Ushers short story is going to be included in an anthology called New Demons, which will soon be launching a Kickstarter campaign. Hill wrote, “I wrote half a dozen short stories last year – I don’t know which is best, but Ushers was my particular favorite.”

Hollywood loves nothing more than gnawing on the bones of preexisting IPs. Whether a reboot is good or not, it will almost certainly be lucrative.
