David Grivel, director of the Splinter Cell Remake, has been announced as the new director of the project after returning to Ubisoft, where he previously worked for 11 years. Grivel left the company in 2022 to join EA, where he was involved in the development of Battlefield 6. However, his return to Ubisoft, where he expressed his excitement in a LinkedIn post, marks a new chapter in the highly anticipated remake of the acclaimed espionage franchise.
A remake with many ups and downs
Despite Grivel’s return, the project’s performance is still in an uncertain phase. Since his departure in 2022, the company has been looking for writers who can update the narrative, maintaining the essence of the original game while making it appealing to today’s audience. This initiative underscores Ubisoft’s intention to respect the legacy of Splinter Cell while incorporating contemporary elements into its story and characters.
The return of Grivel comes in a context where the Splinter Cell franchise continues to expand through different media. In this sense, an audio series has been launched on BBC Radio and an animated series titled Splinter Cell: Deathwatch on Netflix, which has already been renewed for a second season. These initiatives have helped keep the brand alive and attract both old fans and new audiences.
Additionally, the game Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow made its debut on Steam in October of this year, where it was included in a sales package of classic games from the series. This release reinforces the relevance of the Splinter Cell legacy today and may generate greater interest in the remake that is currently in development.

Keaton post mortem
The director of the new project will be Michael Showalter, known for his work in films like The Idea of You and Hello, My Name is Doris. His experience in portraying stories with an emotional and humorous approach seems to align well with the spirit of the original Baby, tú vales mucho, which focused on an advertising executive whose life changes radically when she becomes a mother.
Showalter’s selection is indicative of the renewed direction that Amazon MGM Studios seeks to give to the reboot. The studio intends to leverage the recognition and nostalgia surrounding the original film while also bringing a contemporary perspective to the story. The combination of comedy and the challenges of motherhood remains a relevant theme, suggesting that the new Baby, you are worth a lot could resonate with current audiences.
For the moment, it is unknown who the actors will be that will star in this new version. However, it is expected that the casting will be carefully selected to bring to life the beloved characters that viewers will remember. Although there are rumors about possible actors in consideration, the official confirmation has not yet been announced.
With the growing trend of rebooting and reimagining classic stories, Baby, You Matter joins a list of films that are being rescued from the past. Fans are eager to see how this iconic story will be transformed under Showalter’s direction and how motherhood will be addressed in the current context.
Sony is increasingly betting on synergies. It’s no secret. Its two main battlefields right now are anime and video games, and its idea is to exploit them as intimately as possible, especially after seeing how well its major video game IPs can perform when brought to the big screen. Something it has only done so far with live-action movies. Because all of Sony’s big video game movies have been successful. Perhaps not among critics and certainly not among fans of these IPs, but they have managed to work in what […]
Sony is increasingly betting on synergies. It’s no secret. Its two major battlefields right now are anime and video games, and its idea is to exploit them as closely as possible, especially after seeing how well its major video game IPs can perform when brought to the big screen. Something it has only done so far with live-action films.
Because all the movies based on Sony’s major video games have been successful. Perhaps not among critics and certainly not among fans of these IPs, but they have managed to perform in what matters most to executives: making good box office numbers. This is also true for their latest approach, which, while not the best movie of 2025, is quite better than its also recent remake. We are talking about the film adaptation of Until Dawn.
A movie that has successfully adapted the video game
Adapting the 2015 video game by Supermassive Games, the original already had everything to be a movie. After all, Until Dawn put us in the shoes of eight young adults who went on vacation to the Blackwood Mountains where, due to various circumstances, they found themselves being pursued by a serial killer. Closely following the premises of slasher horror films, the game made us make decisions that ultimately led to the survival or death of our characters, in a butterfly effect that changed the game based on what we decided to do at any given moment.
While its non-linear format and the possibility that several, all, or none of the characters survive do not fit well with cinema, the fact that it is heavily inspired by horror films from the 70s and 80s does. This is something that can be seen in the movie.
Directed by David F. Sandberg, the director of the two Shazam movies and Annabelle: Creation, the film starts from the same premise as the original video game, with a twist to justify everything that happens in it. We won’t reveal it here, as we want to avoid spoilers, but it is a very clever way to justify the constant loops of the original game and explains everything that happens up to this point in the movie, giving it a very unique style and a somewhat different feel compared to other contemporary horror films.
Costing only 15 million dollars, the movie was a fairly modest success. Grossing 54 million at the box office, the film performed especially well in the United States and Canada, demonstrating that it remains the main territory for this type of films.
Unfortunately for Sony, the movie was a bit of a disaster in terms of critical reception and public opinion. With a 52% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 47 on Metacritic, the movie is rated worse than well. And considering it received a C+ on CinemaScore on a scale from A+ to F and a 63% positive rating on PostTrak from the audience, it doesn’t seem like a movie that will receive approval for a sequel. Even if, for a part of the audience that includes us, it is an enjoyable movie under the right conditions: a silly afternoon with plenty of popcorn and a good soda.
Moreover, it’s easy for you to get it. Now more than ever. The movie is now available to watch on Movistar Plus+ and to rent on AppleTV, making it easier than ever to watch it on a lazy afternoon. And if you do it knowing what you’re in for, it could very well be a good afternoon.
The Saints Row saga has experienced a notable decline in sales and interest since its third installment, which reached a milestone in the industry by selling over 5.5 million units.

The Saints Row saga has experienced a notable decline in sales and interest since its third installment, which reached a milestone in the industry by selling over 5.5 million units. Despite the anticipation, the Saints Row reboot in 2022 became a commercial failure, leading Embracer Group to close Volition, the studio behind the franchise, just a year after its release.
Neither a sequel nor a reboot: a prequel
However, the franchise could be on its way to a revival. Chris Stockman, creator of the first Saints Row, revealed in a Reddit forum that Embracer has contacted him to discuss the possibility of developing a prequel to the original game. According to Stockman, the company requested proposals from him, and he expressed his willingness to carry out a new concept that recaptures the semi-realistic and satirical tone characteristic of the early installments of the saga.
Stockman commented that his vision includes the possibility of setting the game in different decades, suggesting that they could explore the 70s, 80s, or 90s, which would bring an innovative and nostalgic approach to the narrative. However, the feasibility of this proposal is uncertain, especially after the closure of Volition and the restructuring of investments in Embracer, which raises doubts about whether the discussions between Stockman and the management will actually materialize.
Despite the uncertain situation, many fans of the saga hope that Stockman’s vision can rejuvenate Saints Row and return the essence that made it a benchmark within the genre during the craziest moments of the video game industry. If progress is made in this direction, the franchise could find a new path in an increasingly competitive market.
Luca Guadagnino is working on a new version of American Psycho, the cult classic film based on the eponymous novel by Bret Easton Ellis. This project has sparked great interest, especially after the speculation surrounding the casting of the iconic role of Patrick Bateman, originally played by Christian Bale in the 2000 adaptation. Although some rumors that emerged in UK tabloids indicated that the character of Bateman could be played by a woman, sources close to the production have confirmed that this reinterpretation will not change the character’s gender.

Luca Guadagnino is working on a new version of American Psycho, the cult classic based on the novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis. This project has generated significant interest, especially following the speculation surrounding the casting of the iconic role of Patrick Bateman, originally played by Christian Bale in the 2000 adaptation. Although some rumors that emerged in UK tabloids indicated that the character of Bateman could be played by a woman, sources close to the production have confirmed that this reinterpretation will not change the character’s gender.
I love your business card, I’m going to kill you
Specifically, Margot Robbie has been mentioned as one of the possible options for the role, which has generated even more excitement among fans. However, Guadagnino has decided to maintain the original essence of the character, rejecting the idea of a gender change for the protagonist. Rumors may suggest that the decision not to change the gender is also due to the complex nature of the environment surrounding Bateman, a character that represents a direct critique of the excesses of the consumerist society of the 80s.
Guadagnino’s approach promises to offer a new perspective on American Psycho, and many hope that his artistic vision will bring a fresh and interesting nuance to the narrative. Since his success with Call Me by Your Name and his recent work on Caza de Brujas, the director has proven to be capable of tackling dark themes with sensitivity and depth.
For now, the public will have to wait for more details about this interpretation, including aspects of the casting and artistic direction, as well as the release date. As the project progresses, both Guadagnino’s followers and fans of the original material maintain their expectations about what this new version will bring to contemporary cinema.

A live-action adaptation of The Jetsons is in development, the iconic Hanna-Barbera series that has captured the imagination of several generations.

Let’s work on the rocket!
According to close sources, Jim Carrey is in negotiations to take on the role of George Jetson, the patriarch of the family, who works at Spacely Space Sprockets, spending most of his time dealing with the antics of his boss. Carrey, known for his versatility in comedic and even villainous roles, such as his recent portrayal of Dr. Robotnik in the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, promises to bring his unique humorous style to this iconic character.
Additionally, it has been reported that Colin Trevorrow, the director behind the successful Jurassic World franchise, is also in talks to direct the film. Trevorrow is no stranger to the science fiction genre, and many hope that his touch can transform The Jetsons into a family-friendly futuristic adventure, moving away from the expectations of a more humorous approach that has characterized other works by the director. The combination of Carrey and Trevorrow could result in a unique piece that honors the legacy of the original series while introducing new audiences to this retro-futuristic universe.
It is worth remembering that the last time The Jetsons were brought to the big screen was in the failed 1990 movie. With this new approach, the creators seem determined to revive this classic in a way that resonates in the spectacular technological context of the 21st century.

However, he was unable to provide specific information about the remake due to security and confidentiality restrictions.
Cannot talk about the details of it
Fans of the series have been waiting over ten years for a new Splinter Cell title, which has raised expectations around the remake and the potential influence of the new animated series. Dousse mentioned the relevance of stealth and strategy in the mechanics of the original game, emphasizing the importance of the remake providing an authentic experience that respects the essence of the original game.
In an interview, Dousse clarified that there were connections with the team working on the remake, and although he could not reveal details, he reaffirmed that there have been discussions about this anticipated project. “I wish I could share more,” he said with a laugh. This leaves fans with very little information beyond the confirmation that the remake is in progress, with no clear timeline for its release.
The director also addressed his desire for the animated series to drive the return of new games within the franchise. Dousse confessed his preference for a remake of the first Splinter Cell, describing it as a memorable experience that deserves to be rediscovered in its entirety, rather than simply improving the resolution. Although he doesn’t know how the animated series could translate into a game, he is eager to see how these ideas develop.

This relaunch, driven by community demand, has been a resounding success, recording ‘phenomenal’ sales and a remarkable 94% positive reviews on GOG. The public’s reception makes it clear that there is significant interest in classic titles within a landscape that continues to be dominated by more modern remakes.
Why would you want to play old games?
From the beginning, Capcom was not convinced about re-releasing the original versions, considering that the remakes offered a superior experience. However, the persuasion of GOG was crucial in convincing the developer that the remakes and the originals can coexist and complement each other. According to Marcin Paczynski from GOG, it was necessary to explain that there was a considerable group of nostalgic players willing to rediscover the story and legacy of Resident Evil, which resulted in a massive adoption of these classics on the GOG and PS Store platforms.
The success of the relaunch has led Capcom to reflect on its approach to the value of original games, recognizing that remakes do not replace classics, but rather enrich them. In this context, the release of Resident Evil 9 is anticipated, scheduled for the end of February 2026. Additionally, rumors suggest that Capcom is working on remakes of Resident Evil 0 and Code Veronica, indicating a continued strategy to revitalize beloved works for fans.
Ultimately, the recent revival of classic titles has shown that there is a significant place in the video game industry for works that have laid the foundations for current success, and it represents an important lesson about the connection between nostalgia and innovation in digital entertainment.

In an exclusive interview, Nelson shared his vision for the film, which focuses on the complex love story between the protagonists Billy and Pamela, who must confront their inner demons in an unusually positive context for the horror genre.
A controversial decision
The director, known for his innovative approach, emphasized the need to present an emotional journey for the characters. “I wanted there to be a challenging love story,” Nelson explained. “It’s important to show how these two characters, while struggling with their own issues, could find a positive outcome. In many current horror films, it seems like no one wins, and I really wanted these characters to achieve a victory.”
Ruby Modine, who plays Pamela, emphasized that her characterization is deeper than the original version, which often lacked emotional development. “My version of Pamela has a fierce side, driven by her love for the people she cares about. She is trying to find a balance while embarking on a personal journey,” Modine stated. This represents a significant shift compared to the bleak ending of the 1984 film.
Robert Englund, the iconic actor who played Freddy Krueger, has hinted at the possibility of donning the claws again after 22 years of absence from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. In recent statements to Fangoria, Englund mentioned that the heirs of Wes Craven are considering ideas for a future sequel or reboot, suggesting the exploration of animation as a bold way to revive the famous dream villain. This proposal, according to Englund, could be the boost the saga needs to attract a new generation of fans. Old rockers never die A […]
Robert Englund, the iconic actor who portrayed Freddy Krueger, has hinted at the possibility of donning the claws again after 22 years of absence from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. In recent statements to Fangoria, Englund mentioned that the heirs of Wes Craven are considering ideas for a future sequel or reboot, suggesting the exploration of animation as a bold way to revive the famous dream villain. This proposal, according to Englund, could be the boost the saga needs to attract a new generation of fans.
Old rockers never die
Despite the fact that the 2010 remake, starring Jackie Earle Haley, was a box office success, it failed to revitalize the franchise as expected. In fact, Freddy has largely been absent from popular culture for about fifteen years, overshadowed by the popularity of other horror genres. Fans of the series seem to be in a kind of limbo, waiting for the return of the character who scared and captivated them in the 80s and 90s.
Englund, who remains the eternal Freddy for many fans of the slasher genre, has mentioned Kevin Bacon as his ideal choice to take on the role. However, he has expressed doubts about the viability of this option, given that Bacon currently has a busy schedule and may not be interested in the project. Considering this situation, Englund points to the need for a renewed and bolder approach to bring Freddy back into the spotlight, mentioning actors like Doug Jones as potential candidates.
The fervor to revive Freddy intertwines with the fans’ desire to see the return of other horror franchises, such as Friday the 13th. With the echo of sinister laughter and the unmistakable sound of blades, fans hope that it is time to terrify a new generation, at least according to the proposals that are emerging on the horizon.
