A couple of days ago, Paramount Pictures, along with Skydance, IMAX Corporation and Bad Robot announced that the third movie, Star Trek Beyond will be released worldwide in IMAX theaters on July 22, 2016. Star Trek Beyond wrapped its production last month and the releasing date will coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the original Star Trek series. Those from Paramount Pictures haven’t announced anything about their plans for the anniversary but further details will definitely surface the Internet.

Justin Lin is the main director of  the highly anticipated sci-fi sequel Star Trek Beyond. This movie will reunite the old cast of members,  John Cho, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, and Zoe Saldana. Along with this cast, Sofia Boutella, Lydia Wilson, Idris Elba and Joe Taslin will join the team. The sequel Star Trek Beyond is based upon the Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry. The film is produced by J.J. Abrams, along with the executive producers Jeffrey Chernov, Dana Goldberg, David Ellison and Lindsey Weber.  Here is what the director Justin Lin had to say about the global IMAX release of the upcoming movie Star Trek Beyond

“IMAX provides a one-of-a-kind movie going experience to audiences all over the world I am excited to bring the newest journey into the Star Trek universe to its screens.”

Nothing about the plot of the movie has been announced yet but we do know the fact that Star Trek Beyond marks the start of U.S.S. Enterprise’s five year mission, the final part which was teased in the ending of 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness. Justin Lin also teased the fact that in this movie new worlds will be explored, new aliens will be discovered, species that haven’t yet been seen in any Star Trek movie or TV shows. Here is what Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. and CEO of IMAX Entertainment, had to say about the anticipated IMAX release next summer.

“Star Trek is an iconic franchise and IMAX is delighted to once again be a part of its world and to partner for the third time with Paramount Pictures, Skydance and Bad Robot on Star Trek Beyond. This space epic is exactly the type of event film that our exhibitor partners and fans around the world eagerly anticipate, particularly as it is so ideally suited to the IMAX format.”

The Star Trek franchise earned more than $800 million dollars since J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek in 2009.

Star Trek Beyond will come in theaters on July 22nd, 2016.

In Spider-Man 2, Player Unconventionally Free Roams as Venom

One player found an unusual way to roam Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s New York City as Venom again. However, intentionally crashing your game during a story segment requires nerves of steel, so we wouldn’t recommend it. Possible Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 spoilers!

UnderTheHood788 explained their method, which involves reaching a cutscene that switches players to Peter. They unplugged their PS5 when the screen blanked while switching to fidelity mode. As the game renders slower, fidelity mode was used. Players get Don’t Be Scared, a mission without an objective, after reloading the last save.

UnderTheHood788 advises, “Wait a bit and go to an unidentified target mission or talon drone mission to become Venom. Reload and become Venom, committing crimes against hunters, the flame, thugs, and even symbiotes. Bases are possible.”

On December 7, Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora hits PS5. Fans can expect new creatures, characters, and storylines that are influencing other Avatar projects as part of James Cameron’s canon.

Massive Entertainment director Magnus Jansén told IGN that the game’s new Western Frontier region—from plants to Na’vi clans—is now Avatar lore: “The Western Frontier is no less a part of the world of Avatar than what’s in the movies.” Jansén says one of their creations is in an Avatar exhibition, but most excitingly, “there is already some talk about maybe using some of the stuff that we did in the upcoming movies.”

Jon Landau, producer of the Avatar films, said: “I think clans are a perfect thing to someday try to weave into the movies. However, new environments follow. Go and say, “Okay, let’s explore what you did in the video game in the movie.” Frontiers of Pandora introduces the Aranahe, Zeswa, and Kame’tire Na’vi clans.

In addition, Lightstorm VP of franchise development Joshua Izzo teased: “I can say that there are going to be some future sequel elements in Frontiers of Pandora that will pay off when the movie comes out when Avatar 3 comes out in 2025. Because of ’25, careful Avatar fans may want to revisit certain things.

CD Projekt’s live-action Cyberpunk 2077 won’t arrive until 2025. In the company’s latest earnings call, the PM project was only mentioned as not expected in 2024.

During a call with IGN, chief commercial officer Michał Nowakowski stated that the company will continue to promote the game and develop the Cyberpunk IP through activities beyond the game.

Nowakowski said, “We’re not really discussing specifics here, but one of the obvious things that we have announced, not happening next year, but going to be developed or moved in the direction next year, is the project we have announced with Anonymous Content.”

Anonymous Content, which produced Crime & Punishment, True Detective, and Mr. Robot, seems like a good fit to bring Night City’s mean streets to life. We don’t know if the project will be a TV show, movie, game adaptation, or standalone story.
