The picture above was taken not on Earth‚ but by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) as it searches for signs of water and ice on the Red Planet. Photographed above an ancient river system in the Aeolis Planum region‚ the incredible pictures conjure imaginative images of a Martian surface very different to that of today.

News Starter Villain Ryan Reynolds and Paramount Pictures Working on Adaptation of John Scalzi’s Starter Villain By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on February 8‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed We got some exciting adaptation news buried in a Deadline post about some business shakings in Hollywood. The article is centered around the story that Ryan Reynolds’ production company‚ Maximum Effort‚ has renewed its first look deal with Paramount Pictures.  The last paragraph‚ however‚ shares that Maximum Entertainment and Paramount are working on an adaptation of John Scalzi’s Starter Villain‚ with Jesse Andrews‚ whose previous credits include Pixar’s Luca and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl‚ on board to pen the script. Starter Villain came out in September 2023 and‚ in addition to having one of the best covers in recent history (check it out above)‚ is described thusly on Goodreads: Inheriting your uncle’s supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who’s running the place. Charlie’s life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell‚ all he wants is to open a pub downtown‚ if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie.But becoming a supervillain isn’t all giant laser death rays and lava pits. Jake had enemies‚ and now they’re coming after Charlie. His uncle might have been a stand-up‚ old-fashioned kind of villain‚ but these are the real thing: rich‚ soulless predators backed by multinational corporations and venture capital.It’s up to Charlie to win the war his uncle started against a league of supervillains. But with unionized dolphins‚ hyperintelligent talking spy cats‚ and a terrifying henchperson at his side‚ going bad is starting to look pretty good.In a dog-eat-dog world… be a cat. I confess that I haven’t read Starter Villain (yet)‚ but the idea of Reynolds potentially playing Charlie (something that admittedly is far from confirmed) and talking to hyperintelligent spy cats is exciting. No news yet on if/when this project will make it to the production stage‚ but fingers crossed we’ll see this on the big screen in the near future.

News Wynonna Earp Earpers‚ Rejoice! Wynonna Earp Is Coming Back in a Feature Special By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on February 8‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Fans of Wynonna Earp were devastated when SYFY canceled the series after its fourth season back in 2021. The supernatural‚ weird Western show centered around the titular Wynonna (Melanie Scrofano‚ who Trekkies will recognize as Captain Batel on Strange New Worlds)‚ her sister Waverly‚ Waverly’s wife Nicole Haught (Katherine Barrell)‚ and Wynonna’s on-and-off again beau‚ Doc Holliday (Tim Rozon)‚ is an entertaining watch‚ full of queer joy‚ bar fights‚ and vampires. The show’s creator Emily Andras as well as the actors have publicly said they wanted to bring the gang back together for a proper ending to the series‚ and‚ as Vanity Fair reports‚ it looks like Andras has done so‚ writing a ninety-minute feature tentatively titled Wynonna Earp: Vengeance‚ that will be available on Tubi sometime later this year. Paolo Barzman‚ who directed several episodes of the show‚ is on board to direct the scripted special‚ which will soon start shooting in Calgary. Andras and the cast got on a Zoom call to discuss the return (you can see that on the Vanity Fair link above)‚ and shared their excitement. “There are definitely some nerves‚ but it’s kind of muddled with this ecstasy and excitement of actually putting on Waverly’s shoes again‚” Provost-Chalkley said on the Zoom. “I haven’t been on set since we left‚ so that’s going to be a whole thing‚ just to reconnect with that world. But I keep telling myself that if there’s any group that I want to do that with‚ it’s this family.” [end-mark] The post Earpers‚ Rejoice! <;i>;Wynonna Earp<;/i>; Is Coming Back in a Feature Special appeared first on Reactor.

Helldivers 2 is being plagued by early game teething problems‚ including the failed to join error preventing players from progressing to the actual gameplay. Failed to join error solutions Thankfully‚ Arrowhead Games is aware of the issue in which Helldivers fail to join their game. The problem occurs just as you try to drop down onto a planet. It completely prevents the game from being able to be played. There is no way to exit from the screen‚ and there is no way to progress. So far‚ the only solution to this problem is to restart the game. Screenshot: PC Invasion Currently‚ the only way to get out of the failed to join error in Helldivers 2 is to hit the escape key and exit from the game. Right now‚ there are no other menus that can be brought up. Once the error code leaves the screen‚ it will simply return in a few ...
