Netflix Teaser for 'Night City' Anime Series 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners'

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Trailer

Time to jack in and tune in. Netflix has revealed a teaser trailer for an epic new futuristic anime series titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, arriving later this year. Inspired by and also co-developed by the video game studio CD PROJEKT RED, the new sci-fi anime series will feature 10 episodes set in a cyberpunk dystopian future. "Cyberpunk 2077 fans, the wait is (almost) over for this new series that expands the world of Night City in surprising new ways. In the meantime, tide yourself over with the new teaser and poster for this upcoming anime series based on the fan-favorite video game." In a new dystopia riddled with corruption and cybernetic implants, a talented but reckless street kid strives to become an edgerunner: a mercenary outlaw. Written and produced by P.T. Adamczyk. No voice cast has been fully revealed yet. I'm featuring this trailer because it looks like it's going to be incredible – full-on, Akira-level epic anime storytelling in a gritty cyberpunk future. Maybe this is what the "Snow Crash" adaptation should look like if they make it one day?

Here's the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Netflix's series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, from YouTube:

Blumhouse is Making a ‘Fantasy Island’ Movie

The frightmasters at Blumhouse have come up with their most terrifying idea yet! They’re developing…*checks notes*…a  Fantasy Island movie!

Even if you’ve never seen a single episode of  Fantasy Island , I’m betting you’re familiar with it. It was a brightly-lit ’70s-’80s TV show that featured Ricardo Montalbán as a mysterious man in a white suit, and Hervé Villechaize as his sidekick who was famous for yelling, “The plane! The plane!” Here are the rather whimsical opening credits. Fantasy Island According to Deadline , the folks at Blumhouse took one look at this and said, “We’re making that a movie.”  Truth or Dare director Jeff Wadlow will be behind the camera, and he’ll also co-write the film with his  Truth or Dare writers  Chris Roach and Jillian

The 14 Most Dangerous Mission: Impossible Stunts, Ranked Worst To Best

Image
"Mission: Impossible" premiered on CBS in 1966 as an upside down "Topkapi" riff that left the conniving to the good guys. For creator Bruce Geller, expertise was the point. Characters and plots were left blank and blurry, forcing viewers to join the Impossible Missions Force or be left in the high-tech dust. Fun only got in the way; Geller famously scolded star Peter Graves for smiling at the end of an episode. In 1996, director Brian De Palma reinvented the series as a star vehicle for Tom Cruise, and it's nothing but fun. The second film even includes a joke about how its star can't stop smiling. The fuse burns brighter than ever and expertise remains the native tongue, but "Mission: Impossible" has carved a new legacy in theaters -- mainly, its reputation for showing off knuckle-whitening, insurance-defying stunts, often performed by Cruise himself. Factoring in franchise importance and danger inherent, the following 14 examples are the best
