HBO Max has dropped the full Doom Patrol Season 3 trailer for the highly-anticipated return of the popular DC series, which is expected to premiere on September 23 with the first three episodes.

It also sees the team encountering some major issues including getting involved with time-travelling; turning into zombies; Victor dealing with the possibility of getting shut down; Clint having problems with his brains; and more.

Part support group, part superhero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. The series stars Brendan Fraser, Diane Guerrero, Matt Bomer, April Bowlby, Joivan Wade, and Timothy Dalton.

“Season three opens on the culmination of Dorothy’s confrontation with the Candlemaker that leads to a devastating loss,” reads the official synopsis. “The Doom Patrol is at a difficult crossroads and each member struggles to face who they are and who they want to be. And things get a whole lot more complicated when Madame Rouge arrives in a time machine with a very specific mission, if only she could remember it.”

The new season features the arrival of new cast members including Michelle Gomez as Madame Rouge, and Sisterhood of Dada, whose members will be portrayed by Micah Joe Parker, Wynn Everett, Miles Mussenden, Anita Kalathara, and Gina Hiraizumi.  Madalyn Horcher, Ty Tennant, and Sebastian Croft have also been cast for guest appearances.

This announcement does not come alongside a trailer as there still hasn’t been any official footage of the film. The only video of the film that has hit the internet was from a leak from a featurette found in Batman: The Long Halloween Part 2. There aren’t any new screen shots either, but it did at least get its official box art.

Some of the film will be shown at the DC FanDome, which is just a few days prior on October 16. However, it’s not clear how much will be shown since the press release only says that viewers can catch a “sneak peek.”

Warner Bros. already announced the cast for this film, which strays from the NetherRealm Studios-developed game it is based on. However, it looks as though it appears to have a very similar story and premise.

I Wanna Dance With Somebody: Kasi Lemmons to Helm Whitney Houston Biopic

According to Deadline, acclaimed filmmaker Kasi Lemmons (Harriet) has officially signed on to helm TriStar Pictures’ forthcoming Whitney Houston biopic, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, which will still be led by Naomi Ackie (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker). Lemmons will be replacing Stella Meghie (The Photograph), who has decided to give up directorial duties on the project due to creative differences. However, she will still remain an executive producer.

“Early in my writing career I developed two projects for Whitney and I had the opportunity to meet her,” Lemmons said in a statement. “She was a tremendous, incomparable artist and her story is as awe-inspiring as it is tragic. I feel privileged to be part of bringing her life story and music to the audience.”

“Properly telling the honest, ‘no-holds-barred’ story of Whitney Houston is an exceptional responsibility. Kasi Lemmons not only brings a highly-acclaimed, award-winning track record but possesses a clear understanding of Whitney as the matchless icon who triumphed musically while valiantly struggling with addiction,” said producer Clive Davis, who is the legendary record executive that first discovered Whitney’s talents in 1983 and worked with her throughout her career.

I Wanna Dance With Somebody, a title derived from one of Houston’s iconic songs, will be written by Anthony McCarten, the scribe behind acclaimed biopics such as Darkest Hour, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Producers are McCarten, Grammy-winning producer Clive Davis, Pat Houston, and Primary Wave’s Larry Mester & Denis O’Sullivan.

The film is a co-production by The Whitney Houston Estate and Primary Wave. Due to the blessing of Houston’s estate and Davis, the project has been authorized to use the late singer’s catalog and vocals. Nicole Brown, Shary Shirazi, and Brittany Morrissey are also set to oversee the project on behalf of TriStar Pictures.

The Naomi Acki-led film is currently slated to arrive in theaters in Thanksgiving 2022.

After 7 studio albums, 6 Grammy wins, 9 world tours and countless memorable hit songs later, Whitney Houston is still regarded as one of the most iconic and influential artists of all time. Even after her untimely death eight years ago at the age of 48, her legacy continues to live on through all of the old and new singers she had inspired by her immense talent and music. She had also earned the title of most awarded female artist of all time by the Guinness World Records and is still one of the best-selling music artists of all time with 200 million records sold worldwide.

Houston is also best known for her acting debut film, The Bodyguard starring alongside Kevin Costner which had become the second highest-grossing film worldwide in 1992 and its soundtrack also became the best-selling soundtrack album of all time with the song “I Will Always Love You.” Her other notable film credits include: Forest Whitaker’s 1995 romance film Waiting to Exhale; Penny Marshall’s The Preacher’s Wife opposite Denzel Washington; and the Disney musical TV film, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella which had earned 7 Emmy nominations.

Predator: Hunting Grounds, Hitman Feature in PlayStation Plus September 2021 Lineup

The PlayStation Plus September 2021 lineup has finally been revealed and it features the three vastly different games that were prematurely leaked in a report from last week. The three PS+ September 2021 games are Predator: Hunting Grounds, Hitman 2, and Overcooked: All You Can Eat. All three will be available from September 7 to October 4.

Predator: Hunting Grounds is the asymmetrical multiplayer game that originally released in April 2020 for the PlayStation 4 and PC. Four soldiers must complete a variety of different objectives while being hunted by a Yautja. Predators naturally have a different suite of abilities and, for the most part, must play strategically and pick off the humans while they are distracted.

The game is still getting both paid and free DLC and more is on the way. Illfonic just recently talked more about the newly released Cleopatra DLC that gives the Predator some Egyptian-based armor, which goes alongside the other culturally specific sets like the Viking, samurai, and Valkyrie DLC packs that have been added since launch. Past DLC has included two versions of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch, football player Marshawn Lynch, and Isabelle from 2010’s Predators. And while it is a PS4 game, it does run significantly better on PS5 through backwards compatibility as long as players manually unlock the frame rate in the options menu.

Hitman 2 is the second PS4 game. This Hitman title isn’t the newest entry in the series as Hitman 3 came out in January 2021, but it still contains many intricate fan-favorite levels that are sandboxes full of murderous opportunities. Players should be able to use this as a way to unlock the Hitman 2 levels in Hitman 3 and if they also redeemed the 2016 reboot when it was on PlayStation Plus in February 2019, they should be able to import both games into Hitman 3.

This trilogy ender acts as a launcher for each game in the trilogy, as long as they also redeem the access packs on the PlayStation Store. These levels support improvements made in Hitman 3 so it might be the best way for players to experience Hitman, especially if playing on PS5.

Overcooked: All You Can Eat is the newest game of the trio and the PS5 entry of the bunch. This culinary cooperative game allows up to four players to hop in a variety of different kitchens to cook and bake an absolutely staggering amount of dishes. This version contains both visually overhauled versions of Overcooked and Overcooked 2 as well as each of the many, many free and paid expansions all of the games have gotten so far. Ghost Town Games is also still adding free content to the game, as evidenced by the recent birthday update. It’s a ton of content and given the easy-to-learn concept and wealth of accessibility options, almost anyone can jump in and play one of the most well-received co-op titles out there.

But this doesn’t apply to the PS4 version of Overcooked since only the PS5 one is on PlayStation Plus. However, users without a PS5 can still redeem the PS5 version by going to the web store or mobile app.
