‘The New Mutants’ movie is moving ahead at Fox

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

Fox is moving forward with The New Mutants, an X-Men spinoff focused on a completely separate group of mutants in the Marvel universe. They are essentially the younger students at Professor X’s school for the gifted. We’ve actually seen one of the new mutants, Sunspot, in Days of Future Past, so perhaps the film will center on that core group, which also included Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Karma and Mirage.

Deadline reports Josh Boone (The Fault In Our Stars) is being lined up to co-write and direct. Although Boone doesn’t have many films to his name, he already proved he can handle big projects aimed at more youthful audiences. Depending on which group of mutants Fox decides to go with, there’s potential for a lot of new characters to be introduced.

Next up for the X-Men franchise is X-Men: Apocalypse, while Fox also has Deadpool in the pipeline. Additionally, there’s a Gambit movie being planned, while Hugh Jackman already confirmed he’ll play the role of Wolverine in a third film.

It’s unclear where The New Mutants will fit in the studio’s road map, but with Boone already confirmed for other projects, it’ll be a few years at least before we see the new cast of mutants on the big screen.

There are several other mutants involved in The New Mutants group, it just depends on which volume you’re looking at. Other characters include Blink, Magma, Magik, Sprite and Warpath.

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...
