Avatar: Fire and Ash gets its first official image, revealing Neytiri looking more fierce than ever in James Cameron's sequel. After the massive success of Avatar: The Way of Water in 2022, Cameron's hit sci-fi franchise is set to return later this year with a third installment of a planned five. The Avatar: Fire and Ash story will continue the saga of Sam Worthington's Jake Sully and Zoe Saldaña's Neytiri after the death of their son, Neteyam, following the couple and their children as they contend with the Rda and a violent new Na'vi tribe known as the Ash People.

After numerous pieces of concept art, Empire now shares the first image from Avatar: Fire and Ash, showing Saldaña's Neytiri pulling back the string on her bow, warpaint and a fierce expression on her face. There is also what appears to be blood on her temple and cheek.

The title isn’t an order; it’s a plea. Wind, Talk to Me, Stefan Djordjevic’s feature debut, began as a portrait of the director’s ailing mother, Negrica, and was set to follow her as she battled cancer in the family’s little lakeside house in the Serbian countryside. When she finally passed, the film became something else entirely: a portrait in absentia. Weaving glimpses of the woman’s last days with shots of relatives trying to process her departure, Wind dances between past and present to resurrect Negrica through the memories she left behind. Djordjevic interviews his family as thoroughly as he inspects (and eventually renovates) his mother’s final retreat, which is another way of saying that Wind is interested in the woman’s relationship with people and spaces, animate and inanimate forces alike. Even (perhaps especially) as death drew nearer, Negrica believed that the border...

Cracking into Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere is no small feat. Few fantasy series out there are as sprawling or have as many loosely connected elements as the shared universe where all of Sanderson's adult fantasy novels are set. There are vast epic sagas like The Stormlight Archive, tighter series like Mistborn, and a smattering of standalone novels and short fiction, all of which add to the wider story of the Cosmere.

Sanderson has long played coy about connections between his series, keeping them fairly light so that each individual work remained accessible to readers. But after Wind and Truth, the picture for what's going on in the Cosmere is finally coming into focus. The fifth book in The Stormlight Archive series was a major game changer, with implications we'll be sifting through for years to come.

However, there is one book that Sanderson has already published which is now a...

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time would be a smart remake move for Switch 2. The game's recent anniversary, mixed with continued fan love, make it the perfect title to remake. HD graphics, quality-of-life additions, and more would make an even better version than the N64 and 3Ds titles.

There have been many rumors about The Legend of Zelda recently, especially regarding the Switch 2, Nintendo's next console. While Nintendo is undoubtedly making the next mainline entry in its enduring franchise for the system, multiple reports and leaks cite that it could also be working on a remake or remaster of a past game.

That wouldn't be what most people would expect from Nintendo, as one of the first reports about the series on Switch 2 that came out was the beloved Switch launch title, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is rumored that the game could get...

Crunchyroll’s newest delinquent anime, Wind Breaker, recently aired its first few episodes, and it could easily be spring 2024’s best new series. This Shōnen anime is based on Satoru Nii’s 16-volume manga series, first serialized on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket manga website in January 2021. While Wind Breaker has just begun, it is quickly shaping up to be the most enticing new series in spring 2024.

Produced by CloverWorkers studio, Wind Breaker follows the story of Haruka Sakura, a heterochromatic first-year student, interested only in becoming the strongest of the strong. Sakura dreams of enrolling in Furin High School, an institute of degenerates, known primarily for their strength.

Once there, he plans to reach the top of the food chain. However, the protagonist’s expectations are quickly shattered when he learns that Bofurin, a gang of Furin students, serves as the town’s protectors. Wind Breaker’s new anime adaptation is fun,...

Five Nights at Freddy's aims to stay faithful to the visual aesthetic of the animatronics, with the production having every tool at their disposal to bring them to life for fans. Director Emma Tammi and project supervisor Robert Bennett became fans of the Fnaf franchise through the movie, immersing themselves in the research and even filling Bennett's office with toys. The biggest challenge in recreating the animatronics was making sure the textures and colors matched the digital characters, while seamlessly blending them with the real people in the story.

Five Nights at Freddy's is a hallmark in video game horror, following a security guard who must escape the demonic animatronics ready to murder him. After spawning numerous sequel games and spin-offs, the franchise has finally birthed its first live-action film. Blumhouse was a natural fit for such a project, and Emma Tammi (The Wind) was brought on to direct from...

She-Ra's Swift Wind origin explains the unbreakable bond the two Masters of the Universe share. Swift Wind is She-Ra’s trusted steed, fulfilling the same role Battle Cat plays for He-Man, and in 2014’s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #15, first published by DC Comics, fans see how the two met for the first time. While the story begins in tragedy, it ultimately leads to the emergence of two heroes.

She-Ra: Princess of Power was a spinoff of the wildly popular He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. She-Ra was Adora, long-lost twin sister of Prince Adam, Aka He-Man. As an infant, Adora was abducted by Hordak, who took her to Etheria, where he raised her to be a general in his army. When he ordered her to invade Eternia, she learned of her true origin. Turning on Hordak, Adora was given the Sword of Protection, which transformed her into She-Ra.
