‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ Netflix Series Rumored to Be Set Prior to Fall of Mankind
Earlier in May, Sony announced that it will be working with Netflix to develop a TV series adaptation of the Horizon Zero Dawn franchise, and now rumors of more details have surfaced. According to Giant Bomb‘s Jeff Grubb, the new series will be named Horizon 2047 and run in parallel with the games. As its name suggests, the show will be set in the year 2047 before the fall of humanity that led to the extinction of most of the life and Earth and the reign of the machines. This obviously also means that the franchise’s main protagonist Aloy will not be featured in the series, given that she only came around more than several hundred years later. Unfortunately, neither Sony nor Netflix has commented on any of the rumors or announced more updates themselves, so fans of the Horiz...

War Rap: Ukraine War Fuels Angry Voice for Furious Generation of Rappers
From the battlefronts of Ukraine comes rap music — filled with the anger and indignation of a young generation that, once the fighting is done, will certainly never forget and may never forgive. Ukrainian rapper-turned-volunteer soldier Otoy is putting the war into words and thumping baselines, tapping out lyrics under Russian shelling on his phone, with the light turned low to avoid becoming a target. It helps numb the nerve-shredding stress of combat. “Russian soldiers drink vodka, we are making music,” says the rapper, whose real name is Viacheslav Drofa, a sad-eyed 23-year-old who hadn’t known he could kill until he had a Russian soldier in his sights and pulled the trigger in the war’s opening weeks. One of the ironies of the Feb. 24 invasion launched by Russian President Vl...

The Greatest TV Antiheroes of All-Time
“Give me a hero, and I’ll write you a tragedy.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald There’s an image of Tony Soprano, the patriarch of the North Jersey crime family, that is embedded into my brain: crouched in a swimming pool, gold necklace dangling around his neck, with a big cigar sticking out of his mouth, his cool, dark eyes are fixed upon us. They are taunting the viewer, as if to say, “Yeah, I’m the bad guy, but you’d trade places with me in a heartbeat.” Truth be told, I’m not even entirely sure if the photo is meant to be a representation of the mafia don or a promotional photo of the actor James Gandolfini. Does it even matter? The two are now synonymous together. The fictional man who loved his family, but cheated on his wife and was a ruthless killer, who tried to get his head right by airing...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ethan Miller / Getty The 2022 Day N Vegas festival just got a little bit more lively as Travis Scott was named as a headliner, marking his first major concert performance since the Astroworld tragedy.

Scott had committed to performing at music festivals that will be held in South America later in th...
Trapped In The Cooler: R. Kelly Should Get Over 25 Years In Prison, Says The Feds
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty Disgraced and dastardly R&B crooner R. Kelly is looking at serious times. Federal prosecutors are going to request that the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer, and convicted sexual predator, be sentenced to over 25 years in prison. Mind you, that 25 is just for one of his cases. Reports TMZ: Federal prosecutors out of the Eastern District of NY — who won a conviction against Kelly last September — just filed their recommendation for his sentencing, and they believe there’s more than enough reason to send him away for “in excess of 25 years.” Related Stories In the docs, obtained by TMZ, the feds say Kelly’s particularly menacing because of his history of enticing minors. Prosecutors hold up the case of his relationship with ...
