Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are gearing up for their next video game adaptation with the co-op shooter Helldivers, enlisting Justin Lin, known for the Fast & Furious franchise, to bring the acclaimed title to the big screen. As reported by THR, Lin presented his vision for Helldivers by highlighting his status as a non-gamer, suggesting that his focus will be on character development and storytelling. He will collaborate on the project with Gary Dauberman (Annabelle), who recently directed another video game adaptation, Until Dawn, for Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions. The story is set in a dystopian future, following elite soldiers called Helldivers as they protect Super Earth from various alien threats, including Bugs, the Automatons, and the Illuminate. Launched to rave reviews in 2015, the game has already released a sequel that sold 12 million units within its first four months. Renowned for its enjoyable gameplay, humorous moments, and satirical take on the genre, there's likely a wealth of material for Lin and Dauberman to explore.

Cowabunga, readers! Paramount Pictures is once again lifting the manhole cover to bring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back to the big screen with a live-action release scheduled for 2028.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has confirmed the date for what they describe as an untitled hybrid live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, set to premiere in theaters worldwide on November 17, 2028.
Produced by Neal H. Moritz, who is well-known for the Fast & Furious franchise, this new version of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s mutant crime-fighters will be released alongside Jeff Rowe’s animated adaptation of the characters. The sequel to Rowe’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, which made $180 million, will debut on September 17, 2027.
This untitled turtle film will mark the third time that Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael are featured in a live-action setting, following the beloved 90s trilogy and the 2014 reboot, which had high expectations with the original grossing $485 million. However, the follow-up, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, released in 2016, underperformed at the box office.
