James Bond Producers Delve Deep Into Spectre
IGN's own Roth Cornet was on the set of Spectre earlier today to talk with James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli about the upcoming movie. Obviously, after the release of the new teaser trailer yesterday, there was plenty to discuss. Here's what we learned about 007's latest mission, including continuity with Skyfall, the major locations, Moneypenny's role and the highly anticipated Day of the Dead sequence...
007 Producers: Idris Elba Would Make a Great James Bond
Whenever "the next James Bond" comes up in conversation, Idris Elba's name is sure to follow. The rumor that the Thor and Luther actor could succeed Daniel Craig as 007 one day has been going around for years. But just how likely is it?
Spectre Opening Sequence and New Images Revealed
IGN's Roth Cornet was recently on the set of Spectre, where she and a group other journalists got a chance to speak with 007 producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

X-Men star Hugh Jackman has long gone back and forth publicly about wanting to play Wolverine forever or finally hanging up his claws. But the Aussie actor took to Instagram on Saturday to announce he's poised to leave the role behind.

Note: Spoilers for recent Black Sails episodes follow.
Black Sails' second season wraps up Saturday night, with a ton in play, as Flint (Toby Stephens) finds himself in big trouble in Charlestown, while back in Nassau, Vane's (Zach McGowan) search for vengeance has continued as he took Flint's ship.
A huge turning point this season was when Eleanor (Hannah New) chose to rescue Abigail (Meganne Young) from Vane and bring her to Flint, which Vane saw as a massive betrayal. His reaction has been incredibly dark, as he killed Eleanor's father before attacking Flint's ship. Though circumstances may find him needing to team with those he considers his enemies...
Paul Heyman on Brock’s New Contract; Roman Reigns Criticism
Among all the body slams and finishing moves in the WWE, some of the most impactful moments each week often come from Paul Heyman simply holding a microphone. The “advocate” for Brock Lesnar, Heyman has proven many times how he can help sway the audience and build storylines, and that’s been the case once again with Lesnar’s title defense match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 31 this Sunday.
With Mania upon us, I sat down with Heyman to discuss the big match he’ll be ringside for, Lesnar re-signing with the WWE this week, the end of the Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak last year, criticism Roman Reigns has faced and more.
IGN: Your DVD last year got a great response. What was it like to have people reacting to your story like that?
The Walking Dead: Season Finale Photo Preview
Things took a violent turn in last week's The Walking Dead. And violent in a different kind of way than we've seen before. Rick snapped, and as a result, the citizens of Alexandria aren't feeling warm and fuzzy towards Rick's group any longer. The Season 5 finale, "Conquer," will see trouble brewing inside the gates. That trouble is just as likely to come from internal threats as external ones.
Daryl faces his challenges of his own while on the run. Flip through the below photo gallery to get a peek at what's ahead.

It’s a grey and windy day in Mexico City and production on the elaborate opening sequence for Spectre AKA Bond 24 is under way. The first teaser trailer for the film dropped earlier this evening, and as that was happening a group of journalists watched from a hotel terrace as the production team filmed a section of the intricate Day of the Dead action scene that opens the movie; one which long-time James Bond producer Michael G.

Dean Ambrose on His Solo Career and WrestleMania 31 Match
Following the break up of the incredibly successful stable he was a part of, The Shield, Dean Ambrose has gone on to a very well received solo career in the WWE. This Sunday, he goes into WrestleMania to face six other competitors in a ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship.
I sat down with Ambrose to speak to him about his Mania match, his feelings on going solo in the past year and his starring role in the upcoming WWE movie, Lockdown.
IGN: I talked to you a year ago at this same time, going into WrestleMania, and obviously a lot has changed since then. When you guys split up The Shield, you didn’t know how things were going to go. How gratifying has it been to see how well received you’ve been as a singles competitor?
