Hulu Boss Gives Marvel’s Helstrom Update: Get Ready For Comic Book Horror

It was first announced last May that Hulu was developing a live-action TV show focused on the Marvel comics character Daimon Helstrom. While a release date hasn’t been announced, Hulu came to the TCA winter press tour with a bit of an update about how production on the series is going.

“We’re in production on Helstrom. I’ve seen the first four episodes of that as well [as the animated M.O.D.O.K.],” Craig Erwich, Hulu’s senior vice president of originals, revealed. “I’m really excited about it. And it’s definitely different corner of the Marvel Universe in terms of its horror.”

That’s right, Helstrom is a horror TV show set in the Marvel universe. Well, set in one of them. It’s still not clear if this or any of Hulu’s other Marvel projects are set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or not. The series follows siblings Damon (Tom Austen) and Ana Helstrom (Sydney Lemmon), the children of an alleged serial killer who are attempting to rid the world of demons and other supernatural horrors. Homeland alum Elizabeth Marvel plays Victoria Helstrom, the mother to the siblings that has recently completed a two-decade stint in a mental institution.

“It’s a really unique take on a horror show that has a very unique family situation at the center of it,” Erwich continued. It remains to be seen exactly how scary and graphic Helstrom will be. Given the subject matter, though, there’s plenty of room to delve into a truly dark corner of the Marvel universe.

As for when viewers will get to see it, Erwich wasn’t prepared to say just yet. However, he said the streaming service will be announcing premiere dates for this project, as well as M.O.D.O.K., “very soon.”

Fortnite Gnome Location: Where To Search Between Logjam Woodworks, Wooden Shack, And Bucket Tree

Fortnite has two new sets of challenges this week, each of which has one mission that asks you to search for a gnome that’s hidden somewhere around the island. In the Rippley Vs. Sludge set, you’ll need to search the hidden gnome found between Logjam Woodworks, a wooden shack, and a bucket tree. If you’re having trouble tracking it down, here’s where to find it.

Where Is The Hidden Gnome Location?

As the challenge clue states, the gnome you’re looking for is hidden somewhere between three objects. Each of these is located in the swamp in the southwestern corner of the island, so that should narrow down the search area considerably.

The easiest to find is Logjam Woodworks, the mill located in the western part of Weeping Woods. The wooden shack lies southwest of the mill, while the bucket tree–which is literally a small tree decorated with buckets–is southeast of the shack. That places the gnome inside a tree that’s between the three areas.

How To Complete The Challenge

Now that we know where the gnome is hidden, all you need to do is make your way to that area and interact with the gnome when you spot it to complete the challenge. Keep in mind, however, that the gnome won’t appear on the map until you’ve unlocked this mission, so you’ll first need to clear a few of the other Rippley Vs. Sludge challenges before you can find it.

As previously mentioned, there are two new sets of Fortnite challenges this week. The other is called 8-Ball Vs. Scratch, and it has its own gnome-related mission. If you need help tracking down that one, be sure to check out our other hidden gnome guide. You can also find maps and tips for earlier challenges from this season in our complete Fortnite Chapter 2 challenges roundup.

Quentin Tarantino to Direct Once Upon a Time Spinoff Series Bounty Law

Quentin Tarantino has revealed that he will direct the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spinoff series, Bounty Law, based on the fictional TV show within the Oscar-nominated movie.

Speaking to Deadline, Tarantino shared his plans to break out the Western drama, originally starring Rick Dalton as gunslinger Jake Cahill, to create a limited series with five half-hour episodes, which he plans to direct.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/28/once-upon-a-timein-hollywood-deleted-scene”]

“As far as the Bounty Law shows, I want to do that, but it will take me a year and a half,” he told the outlet. “It got an introduction from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but I don’t really consider it part of that movie even though it is. This is not about Rick Dalton playing Jake Cahill. It’s about Jake Cahill.”

Tarantino went on to discuss some of the influences behind the Bounty Law series that features in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, as he spoke about the classic Western TV shows that he watched to switch his mindset over to that genre.

“Where all this came from was, I ended up watching a bunch of Wanted, Dead or Alive, and The Rifleman, and Tales of Wells Fargo, these half-hour shows to get in the mindset of Bounty Law, the kind of show Rick was on,” he said. “I’d liked them before, but I got really into them. The concept of telling a dramatic story in half an hour. You watch and think, wow, there’s a helluva lot of storytelling going on in 22 minutes. I thought, I wonder if I can do that? I ended up writing five half-hour episodes. So I’ll do them, and I will direct all of them.”

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-gallery&captions=true”]

In addition to Bounty Law, we can expect to see more footage from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in the future, as Tarantino previously hinted that the full four-hour cut could be released “maybe in a year’s time.”

Meanwhile, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has been nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Original Screenplay, as well as Best Director. The comedy-drama was also a contributor to IGN’s Most Epic Movie Moments of 2019.

Hunt: Showdown Gets PS4 Release Date, Xbox Cross-Play Planned

Crytek has announced the release date and future plans for Hunt: Showdown on PlayStation 4, which includes cross-play with the Xbox One version.

The competitive bounty-hunting shooter will be available on PS4 from February 18, 2020. The physical version of the Xbox One version will be released on the same day.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/02/01/what-is-hunt-showdown”]

Crytek was able to move forward with the console versions thanks to bringing on publisher Koch Media who will be handling them going forward. This frees up Crytek so it can focus on developing updates for the game and handling the PC version.

“Update 1.2 is slated to bring random teams of three, an advanced tutorial, new Legendary Hunters, and new equipment and weapons across the board,” Crytek revealed. “Players can also expect server-side performance improvements, client CPU performance fixes, and a number of other general bug fixes.”

Beyond that update, Crytek says the plan is to add cross-play between the Xbox One and PS4 versions of Hunt: Showdown. There will also be a new map, solo PvE mode, live events, and outfit customisation.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”legacyId=20019367&captions=true”]

Hunt: Showdown is the latest game by Crysis and Far Cry 1 developer Crytek. It’s a competitive shooter in which 12 players – in teams or solo – try to track down and kill beasts and then reach the extraction point with the bounty. It’s especially exciting as players can choose to cooperate to then betray each other at any moment.

It came out on PC and Xbox One in 2019 after being in Early Access for a while. It started off with a single map that captured its 1895 Louisiana setting but since then has got a second map.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Is the USA’s Best-Selling Game of the Decade

Grand Theft Auto 5 has taken the top spot for best selling game of the decade in the United States of America.

According to the NPD Group (via games industry commentator DomsPlaying on Twitter), which tracks market and shopping trends, Grand Theft Auto 5 leads the ranks in best selling games of the decade in the US.

It’s followed by five different Call of Duty games, which are interrupted by Red Dead Redemption 2 for the seventh spot, before returning to more Call of Duty. Modern Warfare also took out the top spot for best selling games in 2019 in the US.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/31/the-best-games-of-the-decade-2010-2019″]

For those unfamiliar with the incredible success of Grand Theft Auto 5, in 2018 it was listed as making more money than any film, book, or game. It’s now on Xbox Game Pass for anyone who’s missed out though it won’t be getting a movie adaptation, despite the evident popularity.

The Walking Dead Spin-Off World Beyond Premiere Date Confirmed

The Walking Dead comic book might have ended last year, but the TV versions of the zombie franchise are going strong. The second half of the main show’s current tenth series returns next month, and the spin-off Fear the Walking Dead is back for Season 6 later this year. It has now been confirmed that the second spin-off, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, will premiere in April.

AMC has announced that World Beyond will have its premiere on April 12 at 10 PM ET, immediately after the season finale of the main series. Subsequent episodes will then take The Walking Dead’s weekly 9 PM slot. In addition, AMC revealed that World Beyond will only run for two seasons, as opposed to the open-ended approach of the other two series.

A new Walking Dead show was first rumored back in March, with the first teaser released in July. In November, the first footage from World Beyond was revealed in this trailer. The show will focus on younger characters who have grown up during the time of the zombies but have so far been protected from them–they are aware of walkers but have not had to interact with them prior to the events of the series. The show stars Aliyah Royale, Annet Mahendru, Alexa Mansour, and Nicolas Cantu, and Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has helmed the first episode.

As well as the three shows, there are still a trilogy of Walking Dead movies in the works. They are set to focus on Rick Grimes, played by Andrew Lincoln, who was the show’s main character until he left the series at the start of Season 9. So far no release date has been set for the first film, but an early teaser was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con last July. In addition, Lincoln was recently spotted doing some gun training, possibly for the upcoming movie.
