Play A Demon-Eating Demon in Tales of Berseria
Over the years, the Tales of series has had an array of different protagonists. From plucky to stoic, no two Tales heroes have ever been quite alike. But none have been as dark and angry as the heroine--or is that anti-heroine--of Tales of Berseria.
Vevet's bright eyes hide dark intentions.
Unlike other Tales characters, 19 year-old Velvet Crowe isn’t interested in saving the world, making friends, or even fighting for what’s right. She's a demon-eating demon, and her objective is pure and simple: exact bloody vengeance on the man who ruined her life. We won’t spoil what transformed the sweet and caring tomboy into an embittered, raging monster here, but suffice to say it was shockingly brutal, especially for a Tales game.
Ryan Reynolds Thinks Logan Could Contend for an Oscar
Logan is aiming to be a different kind of X-Men film - R-rated, more "human" and, going by the trailer, kind of heartbreaking.

Rogue One Originally Had a Star Wars Opening Crawl
Director Gareth Edwards has revealed that the original drafts of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story originally contained more of the traditional elements of the series, including an opening crawl and wipe transitions.
Speaking to Empire, Edwards said that screenwriter Gary Whitta's first draft included the "long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" crawl, but that later production meetings nixed the idea.
"Probably like six months before we were filming," he explained, "we were in a meeting, and they talked about not having an opening crawl, because these are standalone films, not part of the sagas. And if I'm honest, there was an initial kind of like, 'whaaaa? I want the crawl!'"
