When Star Trek: Voyager was nearing the end, the producers introduced a romance between Robert Beltran's Chakotay and Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine. The fans didn't see that one coming as there'd not previously been any type of chemistry between the two characters, and the relationship just didn't make sense. Nevertheless, Voyager ended with the pair still a couple as far as we knew.

Before the beginning of the second season of Star Trek: Picard, Beltran was contacted about a part in the first two episodes of the season, which were "Penance" and "Assmiliation." [Via Slashfilm] In those two episodes, Admiral Picard and his crew are sent to an alternate timeline by Q [John de Lancie] where Earth is an evil empire ruled over by a fascist dictator and her husband. Ryan's character was the president of this evil Earth, and Beltran was offered the role of her husband,...

There's a barrage of Star Trek news coming in today, both good and bad. On the good side, Paramount+ dropped the first trailer for the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks, an animated comedy series. The show has been going strong for a while now and it's good to see it will get to bow out on its own terms. Watch the trailer above!

Star Trek: Lowers Decks will kick off its final season on Thursday, October 24; the first two episodes will drop at once. On the bad side of the news, TrekMovie.com reports that the first 10 Star Trek movies have been removed from streaming on Paramount+, which is supposed to be "the home of Star Trek." And this after those 10 films became available to stream on Paramount+ back in June. That was a short homecoming.

The three more recent Star Trek movies overseen by J.J. Abrams are still available,...

Nicolas Cage and Sydney Sweeney added new layers to the horror genre this year with their amazing films Longlegs and Immaculate. In addition to those two, the year has been great for the genre as it offered various inventive narratives that spooked audiences and most of them also did good business at the box office.

Late Night With the Devil, Cuckoo, Abigail, and recently Alien: Romulus, were other films that also made a mark this year with their twisted and narratively creative approach to horror. However, the film that exceeded most people’s expectations was Damian Mc Carthy’s Oddity. Fans are blown away by the bold and audacious storytelling of the film that sent chills down their spine.

Throughout the years, video games have gone beyond mere entertainment and evolved into immersive experiences, often centred around captivating storylines. A key aspect of these stories is the villains, compelling antagonists who drive the narrative and pose significant challenges for the main character.

Some villains have become legendary in the world of gaming, becoming iconic symbols of the games they appear in. Let’s delve deeply into the realm of gaming and examine five of the most memorable antagonists in its extensive history.

After gracing fans with the 1996 PC port of Resident Evil back in June, fans have been waiting for the port of 1998’s Resident Evil 2 to show up on Gog. That day will be coming soon enough, as Gog has announced that Resident Evil 2 will arrive on the site on August 27.

Gog says that this version of the game “fully reproduces the original elements of this game released in 1998”.

Much like what the Gog team did with Resident Evil, they’ve gone back and tweaked some things for the sequel to make it playable for modern PC gamers that might not have the patience for setting things up. That includes full Windows 10 and 11 support, 6 localizations of the game, new rendering options, improved audio volume and panning, reworked key binding setting and audio settings and more.

The team has also seen fit to go back and address some of the bugs in the original game,...

Stuart Baird's 2002 film "Star Trek: Nemesis" came at a very strange time in the franchise's history. "Star Trek" had spent the 1990s striding triumphantly across the landscape, producing multiple hit shows, one right after the other. There was a time when "Star Trek: The Next Generation" overlapped with "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," and then when "Deep Space Nine" and "Star Trek: Voyager" ran concurrently. "Voyager" even helped Paramount launch its own TV network, the Upn, in 1995. 

By 2001, though, the bloom was off the rose a bit. The series began to tire out. "Voyager" came to an end, and audiences were looking forward to a prequel series called "Enterprise." Before the show could debut, however, the world was shaken by the events of September 11, 2001. Pop rhetoric immediately turned to mourning, and then just as quickly to combat-based retribution. The gentle diplomacy of "Star Trek" instantly became dated.  Then, when...

George Clooney opened up about the recent sale of Paramount Pictures to Skydance Media and how it affected upcoming Hollywood actors. Clooney had worked with the studio several times on projects like Suburbicon and Up in the Air. Clooney shared that the movie business market is getting eaten up by the big media conglomerates.

He added that studios like Paramount helped in making stars out of actors, but the new system may not help progress the career of an actor. The Ocean’s Eleven actor also touched upon a positive side to all this, sharing that it opened up opportunities to more actors in the industry.

The Warhammer 40K universe is filled with weapons that are as brutal as they are iconic. Space Marine 2 is set to have an amazing arsenal to satisfy your desire for carnage, but there are a few legendary weapons we’re hoping the devs consider adding post-launch.

This weapon is a staple of the Warhammer universe and for good reason. This elegant yet devastating melee weapon can slice through armor as if it were butter, thanks to its power field that disrupts matter at the molecular level.

Patrick Stewart gained worldwide fame when he starred as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The X-Men star who was just relatively known for his stage work back then became a global icon with the spinoff show which lasted seven seasons and four films. He returned to the role in Star Trek: Picard.

The sequel series had a three-season run, which culminated in a nostalgia-filled final season that brought together the original Tng cast in a much-deserved reunion. While the finale was received well by fans, Stewart was reportedly initially apprehensive about the show being more nostalgia-driven than story-driven.

Showrunner Terry Matalas brought on the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast to the spinoff show Star Trek: Picard. The latter show received rave reviews, especially for its last season as they said goodbye to one of the most popular Enterprise crews in the world.

After his phenomenal run as the writer and executive producer of Picard, Matalas will reportedly be working as a showrunner on the upcoming MCU show Vision. The show is spinning off from WandaVision and will follow White Vision after the events of the show. Kevin Feige mentioned that Matalas’ work on Picard got him the job.

Writer Terry Matalas, who is known for co-creating the show 12 Monkeys and the revival of MacGyver, brought back the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast for a new spinoff show.

Patrick Stewart became a household name around the world when he was selected to play Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The actor was reportedly known for his stage work before he was selected to portray the extremely diplomatic USS Enterprise leader Picard.

The actor reunited with his cast mates for Star Trek: Picard and reportedly even encouraged Paramount to make a film around the events of the show. However, his choice for a director of the project may betray fans who want Brent Spiner, who plays Data, to helm a Star Trek project.

Brent Spiner is best known for playing the android Data in the show Star Trek: The Next Generation. Starring alongside actors like Patrick Stewart and William Riker, Spinner’s character was one of the most beloved roles in the franchise and he even returned for Star Trek: Picard.

While the Tng cast got a fitting end with Picard, the previous finale, the original film Star Trek: Nemesis was a box-office bomb and was not received well by critics. However, Spiner’s idea for a sequel would have probably saved the Tom Hardy starrer from being a fizzled-out finale and would have brought in multiple Star Trek captains.

Spoiler Alert !!!Spoilers ahead for Star Trek: Picard

The new generation series Star Trek: Picard brought back many fan-favorite characters from The Next Generation, including Sir Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner’s Data. The latter especially was a surprise to fans as he was shown to have sacrificed himself in the last original film Star Trek: Nemesis.

While Spiner had reportedly refused to return to the series, he was convinced by one key aspect of the new show. He mentioned that the chance to not spend hours in his signature yellow/gold makeup and removing it was an appealing factor for him to return.

Actor Jonathan Frakes gained fame as the USS Enterprise-d’s first officer William Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He starred along with Patrick Stewart, Marina Sirtis, LeVar Burton, and Brent Spiner among others in the show and even returned for the films. He also directed multiple episodes in the series.

Frakes helmed the third film featuring the Tng cast Star Trek: Insurrection. The film saw the Enterprise rebel against the Starfleet after knowing that they would be aiding in the Son’a’s conspiracy to steal resources from the Ba’kus. Frakes mentioned that after showing a cut to the studio they had one demand from him and he had to fulfill it.

The Star Trek: Tng films have been considered a hit or a miss with fans.

Numerous Trekkies were heavily disappointed when Brent Spiner’s Data faced his end in Star Trek: Nemesis. Fans were united on the point that a character like him deserved a more respectable death. Interestingly, the makers had a more bizarre plan to show the character’s end even before Nemesis in the ninth film Star Trek: Insurrection.

Data in Star Trek: Insurrection | Paramount Pictures

After the massive popularity of Star Trek: The Next Generation series, the makers decided to give four theatrical flicks to Patrick Stewart and his co-stars. Among the four films, Star Trek: Insurrection is often counted as the worst one on the list. However, the writers of the film later revealed that their initial plans for the film were much different and darker than what we saw in the final cut.

Why was Star Trek: Insurrection‘s story changed?

A still from Star Trek: Insurrection | Paramount Pictures...

There is little doubt that Star Trek: Insurrection remains one of the most poorly-arted movies across the entire Star Trek franchise. The movie currently has a 6.4 IMDb rating and a 55% Tomatometer score, and fans consistently view it amongst the most irrelevant projects that have featured in the franchise.

Star Trek: The Next Generation | Paramount Television

Boasting little narrative depth or progress, Insurrection was more akin to a longer television episode, and may as well have resulted in a catastrophic loss for the franchise in itself. Both Brent Spiner and Patrick Stewart, the faces behind the iconic characters of Data and Captain Jean-Luc Picard, considered quitting during the filming of Insurrection.

The cinematic universe of Hollywood has seen several actors and actresses seize their big breaks in unexpected ways. In this regard, the Star Trek franchise plays a pivotal role in launching the careers of numerous A-listers. However, among the list of such stars, Dwayne Johnson stands the tallest with his appearance on Star Trek: Voyager.

This was just a steppingstone for Johnson, who would then go on to become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. For this, the credit goes to Star Trek producer Rick Berman, who gave Johnson his big break. However, not just Dwayne Johnson, but Berman also deserves credit for launching Tom Hardy in the movie business as well.

Sir Patrick Stewart has enjoyed a career that many others only end up dreaming of. From theatrics to movies to being part of some of the biggest cinematic franchises of all time, Stewart has been the recipient of several awards and accolades. While he has portrayed several brilliant roles, the actor received widespread acclaim when he joined the Star Trek franchise as Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek franchise has expanded into a successful universe of its own, featuring several movies and TV series of its own. Aside from Jean-Luc Picard, or Mr. Spock, Brent Spiner’s Data was another character that became a fan-favorite figure showcased in the sci-fi franchise. However, there is one black sheep in the expansive series that has been a box office bomb.

The film is none other than the 2002 film, Star Trek: Nemesis. The project was a massive disappointment, as it barely managed to meet the break-even point of the film, and ranked as the lowest-grossing film among the four movies.

The project was so disappointing that almost every Trekkie despises it from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, even Tom Hardy and Sir Patrick Stewart could not save it from doom.

Brent Spiner...

Star Trek: The Next Generation featured an entirely new crew from the existing seasons and introduced many new faces. The show bid farewell to The Original Series actors and helped elevate the careers of new actors like Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn, and Jonathan Frakes.

Gates McFadden has played the role of Dr. Beverly Crusher in multiple Star Trek projects. However, the actress herself believes that her character’s story actually concluded with the series finale of The Next Generation in 1994.

Since her introduction in the TV series, Crusher’s character has been viewed as one of the less explored figures in the franchise, with makers struggling to explore narratives surrounding the character. The actress has also voiced disappointment over the handling of Crusher, noting how one significant aspect of her character was left unexplored.

Gates McFadden Expressed Disappointment Over Treatment of Beverly Crusher

Introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Gates McFadden’s Beverly Crusher has often been regarded as a well-developed and capable figure within the franchise, seemingly complete without requiring further exploration.

However, one significant aspect...

Unless one counts Majel Barrett's voice appearances as the computer on the U.S.S. Enterprise-d, Michael Dorn has appeared in more "Star Trek" episodes and movies than any other actor. He appeared in 174 episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (that's all but two of them), 98 episodes of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," five of the "Star Trek" movies, and nine episodes of "Star Trek: Picard." Clearly, there's something about the character that "Star Trek" writers like, otherwise they wouldn't keep writing stories for him.

In "What You Leave Behind", the final episode of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," Worf was given an ambassadorship, serving as the liaison between the Federation and Qo'noS, the Klingon homeworld. Worf had always been a character torn between his Klingon heritage and his human upbringing, so it was perfectly appropriate for his ultimate fate to be commuting between Qo'noS and Earth. Worf...

Monolith Productions, the studio behind games like Middle-earth: Shadows of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War, is currently working on a Wonder Woman game. The game, an action-adventure title, was announced back in 2021 at The Game Awards, but there has been no other information.

The developer did share a few things here and there over the years, but nothing substantial has been known so far. The wait for gamers for some news about the game seems to have ended as exciting details about the game have now surfaced on the internet, and fans are hyped.

The video game industry often sees some game release that set the trend for whole genres ant archetypes of games. Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham games are the perfect example. Praised for their fresh takes on hand-to-hand combat at the time, the trilogy is still highly regarded by gamers even today.

This success had a direct impact on developers of other games and franchises. Developers such as Monolith took inspiration from this in the development of their Middle Earth games. Including Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War.

In an interview with GameSpot, Monolith Productions’ VP of creative design, Michael de Plater, talked about how the features of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City’s combat system were used in the Middle-earth games. Especially Shadow of Mordor.

When it was first announced that a Wonder Woman game was in the works, the gaming community was divided. The Arkham series is one of the very few that can do justice to a superhero title, with others such as Avengers, Midnight Suns, and Suicide Squad completely missing the mark.

The trepidation one may have felt for Wonder Woman was not unfounded, as news has revealed there may be trouble in Themyscira. If sources are to be believed, those who were looking forward to the game are in for a long wait.

Star Trek is one of the most significant and oldest media franchises out there. It has amassed a massive fan base over the years. However, the franchise faced a major setback in 2002 when Star Trek: Nemesis turned out to be a gigantic critical and commercial flop.

Star Trek: Nemesis was the fourth and the last film with the cast of The Next Generation series. Additionally, it also had Tom Hardy playing the antagonist opposite Patrick Stewart’s lead. Unfortunately, nothing could save the film from the abysmal response with some critics even labeling it as the worst in the franchise.

What...

One of the very few franchises that have been able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Star Wars since the dawn of the modern science fiction era in cinema is Star Trek and it has been a battle worthy of being dubbed as the Space Race of Hollywood. However, where Star Wars has remained at the top of its game since the advent of A New Hope, the same cannot be said for its contemporary show, The Next Generation.

Review: I took a bit of heat for my positive review of Rebel Moon Part One a few months ago, but I make no apologies for the fact that I found it an immersive, entertaining epic. I liked it a lot more than the last few Star Wars movies (particularly The Rise of Skywalker). So, I was eager to see the story reach its conclusion with Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver. While an entertaining, action-packed end to the saga, it’s also a clear-cut case of why Snyder’s longer director’s cuts should have been the only ones hitting Netflix. Even more than in the first film, this feels awkwardly fast-paced and anti-climactic at times due to the story having no room to breathe.

Indeed,...

A new movie just came out from Zack Snyder, the divisive but provocative director who has inspired legions of passionate and loyal fans online, but it hardly feels like anyone outside of the internet knows or even cares much. Perhaps that's the peril of falling into the streaming trap, where name-brand talents receive sky-high budgets for productions that no traditional studio is willing to support ... only to be promptly forgotten once its brief time in Netflix's weekly Top 10 reports comes and goes. Full disclosure: It's downright strange to have been able to see "Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Scargiver" in a theater and base this review on that experience, particularly when the vast majority of those reading this will never have the same opportunity. Yet it's stranger still that the film we've received, from a visionary auteur whose battles with corporate overlords during his tenure in the DC...

This isn’t necessarily a massive surprise, given that few would expect a Black Panther game to be a farming sim, but EA’s upcoming videogame will be some sort of ‘sandbox’ according to a job listing.

Listed on EA’s own website, the detail is right up there in the job title: Principle Sandbox Designer. The role will require the design and prototyping of “gameplay mechanics that contribute to a rich sandbox environment.”

The listing, first reported by Vgc, also reveals that the game will take place in both cities and more natural environments that will potentially be filled with simulated animals. The successful candidate, EA writes, will “create sophisticated AI behaviours that enhance the open-world experience, from urban crowds to wildlife ecosystems.”

After the raids on Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ homes in Miami and Los Angeles last week, his longtime nemesis, rapper 50 Cent, said he would produce a documentary about his nemesis.

The rivalry is connected to Combs dating 50 Cent’s ex, Daphne Joy. Joy is the mother of 50 Cent’s 11-year-old son, Sire Jackson.

A new $30 million sexual assault lawsuit against Combs brought by record producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claimed that Joy was Combs “sex worker,” adding a further wrinkle to the drama.

The 73-page lawsuit is only one of three recently filed against Combs.

The suit also stated that Jones was subject to a year of groping without his consent and “constant unsolicited touching” of his private areas.

The feud started after Jackson released a song saying that Combs knew who murdered popular rapper Notorious Big. Combs...

Since its debut 1966, Star Trek has been about boldly going forward. And no Star Trek series has gone further forward than Discovery. After a rocky first few seasons set about a decade before The Original Series, Discovery found its place by jumping to the 32nd century, farther into the future than any other entry in the franchise.

As Discovery prepares to end its mission with its fifth and final season, fans might be wondering what’s next for the 32nd century and the TV franchise as a whole. With Strange New Worlds staying in Disco’s original pre-tos era and Lower Decks and Prodigy exploring the period after the Next Generation movie Nemesis, Disco’s exit seems to leave the 32nd century unexplored.

“Strange New Worlds” is the 12th “Star Trek” TV show since the original series debuted on NBC in 1966, introducing Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a hopeful future for humanity.

It’s a phrase Levine first brought up about a decade ago when he first started talking publicly about his first project since 2013’s BioShock Infinite, and is shorthand for the way Judas uses discrete blocks of plot to construct a unique story for each player.

Over the past few weeks or so, Levine’s new studio, Ghost Story Games, has invited a couple of journalists from big, posh outlets to sample Judas first-hand. Both IGN's Ryan McCaffrey and The Game Awards’ Geoff Keighley have made videos in which they interview Ken Levine and play through his ambitious-sounding action-adventure.

The rivalry between former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) and his nemesis, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida), is boiling over again.

McCarthy recently accused Gaetz of being dishonest about his relationship with former President Donald Trump and about his personal life.

“Has there ever been any conversations between you and the former president about Matt Gaetz and his decision to throw you out,” a reporter asked McCarthy recently. “Was he supportive of that?”

“I don’t know how close you probably think the president is to Gaetz, but you should figure that out,” the former house speaker replied.

“They’re not actually that close,” another reporter asked.

“He makes it out – Gaetz makes it out to be like they’re –,” they added before being interrupted by the ex-House speaker.

“I’m sure,” McCarthy stated. “Gaetz probably makes a lot out – but he probably lies about who he sleeps with, too.”

As /Film's resident wrestling obsessive, I've written quite a bit about how sports entertainment is a formative piece of how I process the media I consume, as well as waxing poetic about my appreciation for the Adonis and Venus mortals that walk amongst us on shows like "American Gladiator." I'm of the mindset that if a person must self-proclaim they are an expert, chances are, they are not. So while I will not claim to be an expert, I will say that my knowledge of cinema featuring pumped-up women and brawny babes is, uh, stronger than most.

Sure, there are plenty of films that feature swole ladies for a one-off visual gag or a background character, but there aren't many films that allow women who are jacked to the gills to take center stage. Sometimes, the films are specifically about these towering muscle mommies, and sometimes they're just action films...

As the dawn of the new millennium approached, the world would start to see a trend of films that would become very mainstream. These types of movies are action horror video game adaptations. As stated in our previous video, there have been a number of different ones, but nothing stood out more than Resident Evil. In 2002, we were graced with the first in this series. It may not have been the critic’s favorite, but it did well enough at the box office to spawn a sequel. The name of that sequel is Resident Evil: Apocalypse (watch it Here). With a title that big, you would think the filmmakers went for bigger, better and more destructive…right? For the most part, yes and they even packed in some surprises for fans of the series. So today on Horror Revisited we ask that you suit up and strap in for Alice...

This Star Trek: Picard article contains spoilers.

Do you remember how great it felt when Jean-Luc Picard stepped onto the bridge of the restored USS Enterprise-d, with all the members of his senior staff around him and ready for one last adventure? Remember how much better that was than watching Icheb from Voyager get mutilated or watching Picard ride dune buggies in Star Trek: Nemesis? Patrick Stewart does not.

In a recent interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Stewart talked about an upcoming Star Trek movie centered on at least part of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast. “I heard only last night about a script that is being written, but written specifically with the actor, Patrick, to play in it,” Stewart told host Josh Horowitz. “And I’ve been told to expect to receive it within a week or so.”

That sounds exciting, right? After all, while...

Plot: In a dark corner of the universe controlled by a Fascist regime called The Motherworld, a former soldier named Kora (Sofia Boutella) tries to escape her past by living as a simple farmer on a peaceful moon called The Veldt. When that moon is invaded by The Motherworld and her friends are threatened, Kora sets off to recruit an army of soldiers to battle with the Motherworld and end their tyranny.

Review: Take Star Wars, a liberal amount of Seven Samurai, The Magnificent Seven, and Battle Beyond the Stars, and mix it in with a heavy helping of Heavy Metal (both the magazine and the film), and you end up with Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon. While a bit overstuffed (Snyder maybe made it a little too lean at just over two hours), it’s nonetheless a deliriously entertaining sci-fi epic that one could easily call the Best Star Wars Movie Never Made.

Rebel Moon isn’t really the Zack Snyder Star Wars everyone was always characterizing it as… but what if it was?

“When Rebel Moon releases in theaters… it’ll mark the end of a 10-year journey. A journey that began with a 2013 rumor that director Zack Snyder was working on some kind of Star Wars movie. That rumor, it turns out, was not true. At the time, Snyder had the idea of taking one of his stories and putting it into the world of Star Wars, but it never got much further than that. You can’t help but wonder though, in the words of another Disney-owned franchise, ‘What if?’”

The Wonder Woman game being developed by Monolith Productions might be a live-service title, in line with Warner Bros.’ stated goals.

A job advert for Monolith Productions seems to indicate that the studio’s upcoming Wonder Woman game might be a live-service title.

The advert, which was spotted by Wccftech, is for a ‘Lead Software Engineer, Gameplay’. “As a Gameplay Lead, you will lead the team responsible for core gameplay systems inherent to Monolith’s proprietary engine, including combat, movement, the Nemesis system, and more!” reads the job description.

(Nb. Monolith pioneered the Nemesis system in its 2014 game Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor, which sees some enemies return to dog the player again and again. Warner Bros. then patented the Nemesis system in 2015, as Ryan Lambie discusses in this exploration of the ups and downs of patented game mechanics. But I digress.)

The really interesting part of the job description, however,...
