‘Elysium’ and ‘District 9’ Director Neill Blomkamp Is Working on a AAA Video Game
District 9 and Elysium director Neill Blomkamp has signed on to develop a new AAA video game with Gunzilla Games. According to IGN, the South African-Canadian creative has now joined German studio Gunzilla as Chief Visionary Officer, working together to launch the developer’s first game — a multiplayer shooter that’s being kept a secret for the time being. Gunzilla itself was set up just a year ago and boasts talent from the likes of EA, Crytek and Ubisoft. Blomkamp will be taking on a long-term role for the studio, acting as an “egalitarian version of being a film director.” Discussing his rationale for joining the gaming industry, Blomkamp says he sees video games as the next step in evolution after films. “Games will […] become what films were in the 20th century,” he ex...

Offset Describes His Baller First Date With Cardi B on ‘Kimmel’: ‘I Went Big’
Offset dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday night (July 20) to talk marriage, elaborate gifts and first dates with guest host Anthony Anderson. Jumping right into it, the Black-ish star asked the Migos rapper to describe the first time he went out with wife Cardi B and, as you can imagine, it was a story. “Our first date I went big,” said Offset, who came out looking like a rock star in black leather pants and matching jacket, graphic tee, shades and, of course, a neck shining with chains that included a giant one with his stage name in diamonds. “I wanted to do something that was not normally done. I wanted to have fun.” So, of course, he took Cardi to the Super Bowl. Now, he couldn’t remember what number Bowl it was, but he knew his team the Atlanta Falc...
Chance The Rapper Talks Bringing Secret Concert ‘Magnificent Coloring World’ to Big Screen
The concert film will celebrate the five-year anniversary of Coloring Book. Chance could have gone the streaming service route, but he elected to pitch his concert film idea to AMC Theatres a few months ago with hopes of immersing moviegoers into his full concert experience. “There’s just something different about going to see something in theaters, instead of watching it in your bed or whatever,” he said. “I always knew that I wanted this to be experienced in a group and on a huge screen with crazy surround sound.” Chance led the film’s editing process and self-distributed the film through his House of Kicks umbrella, which reimagines music, film and virtual experiences. His partnership with the theater chain marks the first time a music artist has independently distributed a fi...

The woman told NetEase that when she was 17, Wu encouraged her to drink too much at a party and she woke up in his bed. “I hate it so much that my teeth itch,” she was quoted as saying. “I hate myself even more, hate it so much that I want to commit suicide.” The woman said other women told her Wu seduced them, sometimes when they were under 18, with promises of jobs and other opportunities.
