There are a whole bunch of quality-of-like changes that Pokémon TCG Pocket could stand to introduce, not least giving its UI a significant overhaul to make certain features much clearer. One of those buried features that’s genuinely useful, and yet almost no one seems to know about, is wishlisting.

Before the Resident Evil franchise ended up in the hands of Paul W.S. Anderson, the filmmaker who was developing a cinematic adaptation of the zombie video game series was the one who first brought us the concept of flesh-eating zombies: Night of the Living Dead (and Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead) director George A. Romero. For decades, fans have been pondering what it would have been like if Romero had been able to bring his vision of Resident Evil to the screen – and that’s the subject of the upcoming documentary George A. Romero’s Resident Evil. We’ve been waiting for this one for a while, and now our friends at Bloody Disgusting have learned that it’s set to receive a Digital and On Demand release on January 7th!
Directed by Brandon Salisbury, George A. Romero’s Resident Evil is being produced by Key 13 Films in association with Point Five Films. During an interview with the Resident Evil Podcast, Salisbury revealed that he didn’t want George A. Romero’s Resident Evil to be your average “talking heads” documentary. So he had the idea to shoot interviews in an abandoned mansion that has been made up and lit to look like the mansion from the Resident Evil video game. He also got permission from the game rights owners at Capcom and the film rights owners at Constantin Film to film some scenes from Romero’s script that were based on iconic scenes from the game, but it’s not clear if they were able to shoot those.
George A. Romero’s Resident Evil received some input from Romero’s personal assistant Jason Bareford. As the story goes, Romero had an assistant play through Resident Evil so he could watch the gameplay while writing the adaptation – and Bareford was that assistant. When the project was first announced, Bareford said the mission with this documentary was to set the record straight on what really went on behind the scenes when Romero’s version of Resident Evil was in the works. He was in the room when decisions were being made, and when Romero was informed that Constantin Film no longer intended to make the movie with him.
Salisbury provided the following statement: “George Romero gave birth to modern horror, the modern zombie, and ultimately Resident Evil. I am honored to bring fans the untold story of his most important unmade project, to celebrate the legacy of the man that inspired me to pursue filmmaking as a career. I hope fans enjoy this ultimate experience in survival horror.“

Director Panos Cosmatos’ revenge film Mandy quickly gained a devoted cult following when it was released back in 2018 – and one member of the Mandy cult is singer/songwriter Miley Cyrus, who is such a fan of the movie that she not only named one of her dogs after it, but she even contacted Cosmatos about collaborating on a musical remake of the film! If this musical remake had gone forward, Cyrus was wanting to play the character who was first brought to life by Nicolas Cage.
Set in the primal wilderness of an apocalyptic 1983, Mandy has the following synopsis: The quiet life of devoted couple Red (Nicolas Cage) and Mandy (Andrea Riseborough) takes a dark and bizarre turn when a nightmarish cult and their maniacal leader (Linus Roache) seek to possess Mandy… body and soul. A shocking assault on the innocent pair leads to a spiraling, surreal, bloody rampage of all out, mind-altering vengeance.
Speaking with Harper’s Bazaar, Miley Cyrus said that Mandy is one of the inspirations for the album she’s currently working on. She mentioned trying to get a musical remake off the ground and that “I wanted to play Nicolas Cage. “I love that it’s a romance revenge story. Romance and revenge—those are some of the greatest tragedies. I forever and always will be interested in those.“
Cyrus got in contact with Cosmatos, and while they won’t be making that musical remake, he is heavily involved in the making of Cyrus’s new album, which is said to be as much visual as it is musical. Cosmatos said, “[The album is] more experimental than anything she’s ever done, but in a pop way that I love.“
Cyrus added that the album is also inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall, particularly the 1982 film that was based on the album, a movie that she first saw on the big screen when she was a teenager. With a good friend and one of her brothers, she smoked some weed, rented a limo, put on ’70s-style fur coats, and went to see The Wall. “We really leaned in. And so I have this heart-first attachment to it. My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.“
So we have a Wall-inspired Cyrus and Cosmatos collaboration to look forward to, but the musical remake of Mandy appears to be off the table. What do you think of all this? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

There’s a tradition when writing previews of games that says one must hold back on judgments, as a game is not yet finished and could see enormous changes before it’s released. I am, however improper it might be, going to ignore this principle on this occasion, because after spending at least six hours with the…
You can’t have a cozy game without cute companions to find and adore, and Disney Dreamlight Valley has them in spades. In fact, its second expansion The Storybook Vale has three all-new types of critters to meet, feed, and become pals with, like a Pegasus that comes in four unique colors.

Next year, Anthony Mackie’s feature debut as Captain America will finally hit theaters after a long, winding road. Deadline reports that the star of Captain America: Brave New World trekked to Singapore for the Disney APAC Content Showcase, where he revealed how he learned that he would don the shield with the star and stripes. Mackie said he had gone over to Chris Evans‘ house to watch a football game when Evans surprised him with the script pages of Avengers: Endgame that featured Steve Rogers passing the torch. “When I read it, we just hugged each other and jumped around in a circle,” said Mackie.
Mackie would also reveal that prior to being cast as Falcon in the Marvel Universe, he never actually read comic books. He confesses, “A lot of people might not like this, but I’ve never read comics. I’ve watched every cartoon, like everything from Tom and Jerry to Teen Titans — if you haven’t watched Teen Titans, that’s my favorite cartoon. Go online and search the ‘Booty Scooty’ [episode]. It’s amazing.” Even though he never read comics as a kid, he did say who his favorite superhero was growing up,
My favorite character of all time is the Incredible Hulk. I’ve always been a Hulk fan. When I was a kid, I used to watch the TV shows. I just always loved the Hulk.”
However, he added that he shared a common complaint with fans,
I always wondered, ‘How come everything came off except the pants?’ Everything — his shirt, his shoes — came off, but his pants stayed. I always thought that was weird.”
Mackie would also explain the interesting contrasts that his Sam Wilson would have compared with Steve Rogers when serving as Captain America, “It’s very different with the serum — you can fight anybody. When you don’t have the serum, you have to be smart and engineer different ways of defeating [enemies]. With Sam, him being a counselor, he uses more of his brains than brawn. He uses more of his wit than his fist. He’s more of a friend to everyone.” He also says, “Sam’s evolution is simple. He’s still a counselor. He’s still serving soldiers, but at the same time, now he’s a leader of his community in the country.”
