Universal's Epic Universe Reportedly Opening Sooner Than Planned, Could Put Pressure On Disney

Orlando, Florida has been ground zero for theme park wars for decades, and after years of Disney’s dominance, Universal could finally have the upper hand. Universal’s newest theme park, Epic Universe, may open sooner than expected, and Universal reportedly has plans that may draw away a lot of visitors from Disney World’s parks.According to The Wall Street Journal, Epic Universe is expected to be fully open by Memorial Day 2025, well ahead of schedule. Additionally, the report notes that in order to prevent overcrowding, Universal is going to restrict access to Epic Universe to visitors who purchase multi-day passes at the park. That would discourage tourists from spending additional time and money at Disney World. Research firm MoffettNathanson estimates that Epic Universe alone could dra…

The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Almost Had A Different Title

Much like its 2017 predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was a near-instant classic, continuing the story that began with Breath of the Wild and building on the unique gameplay mechanics that debuted in the first game. But according to Nintendo, Tears of the Kingdom was almost given a different title, and it’s one that will make perfect sense to anyone who’s finished the game.”One of the candidates for the title that made it to [the] end [of development] was ‘Tears of the Dragon,'” producer Eiji Aonuma explained in the game’s art book, which was released in Japan at the end of August. “But it would be a bad idea to have the keyword ‘Dragon’ in the title, and we wanted to have dragon patterns in the logo, but decided otherwise. It’d emphasize the Light Dragon, after all.”…

In an interview, the Oscar-nominated actor said he had the same reaction fans might have had to the news that Downey Jr. would return, not as Iron Man, but instead as Dr. Doom.”I was like, ‘What the f*ck?’ I think that’s exactly what I said,” he told Collider. Pressed for more information about the next Avengers movies, Doomsday and Secret Wars, Cheadle said he can’t spoil anything because he doesn’t know anything. “Everything is clay right now. They’re rewriting, they’re reworking, and so I honestly can’t even tease anything,” he said.Doomsday is coming in May 2026, with Avengers co-directors Joe and Antho…

Artist To Rockstar After $7,500 Offer To Use Their Song In GTA 6 — "Go F**k Yourself"

An English artist has reacted to a purported offer from Rockstar Games to include his band Heaven 17’s 1983 song “Temptation” in Grand Theft Auto VI, saying the offer of $7,500 was “extremely low.”Martyn Ware, 68, said on social media that he was recently contacted by his team to discuss an offer from Rockstar Games about the possibility of putting “Temptation” in GTA VI. Ware said he was “naturally excited about the immense wealth that was about to head my way,” that is, until he saw the actual offer: $7,500.Ware said this amount would have covered “a buyout of any future royalties from the game–forever.” Ware went on to (incorrectly) state that GTA VI has already grossed $8.6 billion and that he believes he was low-balled because having the song in GTA VI could generate “exposure” for t…
