Lucasfilm, which is owned by Disney, sensationally canned MMA pioneer Gina Carano from the popular Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian in February. The reason given for her very public firing was her social media posts, which Lusasfilm described as “abhorrent and unacceptable.”

Additionally, Carano used her social media to promote QAnon-related conspiracy theories.

But Uib has chosen and interesting path with its next project; the new
Werewolves Within film may very will be the first feature based on a VR game. I know that I certainly can t think of any others. And with its fun horror/comedy tone, Werewolves may be the first film based on an Ubisoft property to fully cross over to general audiences. Heck, most people probably won t even realize that it s based on a game.
Paramount has announced that the
Star Trek franchise is returning to theaters soon in 2023. The news comes amidst a recent reshuffling of its theatrical releases (
Top Gun: Maverick is getting bumped to later in the year,

Dungeons & Dragons to 2023, and so forth.) Buried in the announcement is that there’ll be an untitled

We’ve been expecting a new
Star Trek film for a couple of years, but according to
io9, this is a completely new project.
For the last couple of years, we’ve watched the studio struggle to get another Star Trek film out into theaters, all while it’s dumped a ton of resources into its television franchise on Paramount + (which includes
