Sleeping Dogs movie is dead. Announced way back in 2017.

I enjoyed the game. Was one of Emma Stone's first big roles.

Fascinating… streaming versions of Alien: Romulus have apparently made some tweaks to certain shots of Rook VFX (via Reddit) pic.twitter.com/XMEY6iT7QG

Oh no, changes even for the first home release!

Was the theatrical cut literally unfinished? Don't know why they'd do this for the release just a few months later.

Edt

Fede Alvarez says they improved the CGI Ian Holm for the ‘ALIEN: ROMULUS’ home release.

“We just ran out of time in post-production to get it right. I wasn’t 100% happy with some of the shots [in the theatrical release]”

Interesting that it is not a movie copy of the game's story, but instead a copy of the game's gameplay.

Could suck but gives it more potential to be interesting imo.

huh that's actually interesting. Basically time loop/groundhog day so not super original, but the vibe of it looks pretty good.

honestly that's a very smart move.

people that played until dawn can watch it without having be a rehash.   it doesn't make any particular playthough of until dawn "cannon".  and a horror film wouldn't be a horror film if no one died so this let's there be plenty of gore bad stuff while the movie ending with the perfect run for a happy ending.

i mean yes but also there has not been an original idea in storytelling for like 10,000 years.  ground hogs day is 32 years old now so roughly half the world's population has never heard of it.    ...and i'm not aware of this ever being done in the horror genre so i think it's pretty fresh.

i'm actually really excited for that. The trailer looks great

Civil War mostly sucks. I have no idea what it was going for. Very serious yet simultaneously very dumbed down as if it's a Saturday morning cartoon.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Like why is the President just chilling in the oval office? At the very least he&#39;d be in the bunker under the white house.<br><br>And lol why would the secret service still be wearing black suits and ties? It&#39;s a war and the capital is under attack. They&#39;d be suited up like soldiers. The President would himself be in full body armor too.<br><br>It&#39;s like the ending was from a different movie. The general premise was also really stupid and the journalists were mostly stupid, but the moment to moment felt like real situations at least. Getting gas was good, the sniper on the road was good, and Jesse with the body ditch was good. They weren&#39;t worth the price of admission but they were real enough feeling.<br>

Trap was great. Had no clue THAT would be the story. Made for such a unique film.
