Black Widow Movie Begins With The Character "In Crisis"

One of the most-anticipated 2020 Marvel movies is the standalone Black Widow film starring Scarlett Johansson. Little is known about the story, but now Johansson has shared some details about what to the expect from the superhero movie.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Johansson said Black Widow will begin with the character facing some kind of "crisis." No other details are known, but Johansson added that Black Widow's personal journey in the movie will see her overcoming this struggle and becoming a "more grounded, self-possessed person." She also said some of the themes of the film are self-forgiveness and family.

"We just wrapped Black Widow like two weeks ago or something like that, so it's very fresh in my mind," she said. "I don't have a total perspective on it yet but it's a film about self-forgiveness and it's a film about family. I think in life we sort of come of age many times in your life and have these moments where you're kind of in a transitional phase and then you move beyond it, and I think in the Black Widow standalone film, I think the character when we find her is in a moment of real crisis."

"And throughout the film by facing herself in a lot of ways and all the things that make her her, she actually kind of comes through that crisis on the other side and is able to sort of reset into a space where she's a more grounded, self-possessed person," she added. "That's her journey. Well, I hope anyway."

This is not the first time that Johansson has spoken about the standalone Black Widow movie. She previously discussed how Black Widow is a "gritty and multi-dimensional" character who "has a lot of trauma and has led an unexamined life."

Black Widow comes to theatres on May 1, 2020. It also stars David Harbour (Stranger Things, Revolutionary Road), Florence Pugh (Midsommar, Little Women), Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener, About a Boy), and Ray Winstone (The Departed, Cold Mountain). It's directed by Cate Shortland (Lore, Somersault), with a script by Jac Schaeffer (Olaf's Frozen Adventure, Captain Marvel) and Ned Benson (The Westerner, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby).

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
