Alpha footage from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer appears to have leaked online, revealing a number of details about the mode ahead of its planned reveal on September 9. The multiplayer footage appears to have been accidentally streamed on Twitch by user DougisRaw for around seven minutes, with a four-minute segment of that stream being captured and circulated online. There is a lot to glean from the footage of the 6v6 VIP Escort match, which takes place on a new map set in Miami, and follows DougisRaw as they attempt to stop the enemy VIP from reaching an extraction point. Here's everything we noticed:

• The four starting classes are Stealth Ops, Pointman, Grenadier, Fire Support and Double Agent.
• Weapons have five attachment slots and level-based progression.
• Some weapons shown in the footage include the XM4, the AK-74u, the M16 and the Gallo SA12 Shotgun.
• Every loadout has a Tactical, Lethal and Field Upgrade slot, which is filled by the 'Field Mic' equipment in this footage.
• Perks include Tactical Mask, Flak Jacket, Quartermaster, Scavenger, Ninja and Ghost.
• Every loadout has a 'Wildcards' slot that lets players modify their loadout. One custom class features a wildcard called 'Perk Greed' which appears to let players take two perks per section.
• Another Wildcard called 'Danger Close' looks as if it provides double tactical and lethal grenades.
• It looks like multiplayer maps open with a quick cinematic - in this case, the team jumps out of a van.
• Players only have one life each and can be incapacitated and revived in VIP Escort - the match ends when a team wins four rounds.
• Each player has a visual health bar that gets depleted as they're shot.
• The two factions in this particular mission are known as the CIA and the DGI.
• The round ends with a montage of the 'Best Play' of the game.

Paramount Pictures has announced that a new edit and restoration of The Godfather: Part III will be given a limited theatrical release this December, followed by a home release. The revised version of Francis Ford Coppola's final film in The Godfather trilogy, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, has been retitled as Mario Puzo's The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone, acknowledging the film's original title that was rejected by Paramount in favour of a more simplified name. The studio said Thursday that the new cut achieves the original vision that Coppola and screenwriter Mario Puzo had for the last chapter in the Corleone saga. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-most-disappointing-third-movies-in-trilogies&captions=true"] "For this version of the finale, I created a new beginning and ending, and rearranged some scenes, shots, and music cues," Coppola confirmed in a statement. "With these changes and the restored footage and sound, to me, it is a more appropriate conclusion to The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II and I'm thankful to Jim Gianopulos and Paramount for allowing me to revisit it." In order to achieve the finest presentation for the upcoming release, Coppola's production company American Zoetrope and Paramount Pictures' restoration team spent six months searching through 300 cartons of negatives to pull out over 50 original takes to replace lower resolution opticals in the original negative, before working from a 4K scan to undertake the film's meticulous frame-by-frame restoration. "Mr. Coppola oversaw every aspect of the restoration while working on the new edit, ensuring that the film not only looks and sounds pristine, but also meets his personal standards and directorial vision," Andrea Kalas, the Senior Vice President of Paramount Archives, said about the new edit and restoration of The Godfather: Part III, which also boasts an enhanced audio track. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/26/justice-league-snyder-cut-all-the-known-differences-from-the-theatrical-version"] The original release of The Godfather: Part III hit theaters 16 years after The Godfather: Part II, and focused on Michael Corleone's efforts to free his family from crime and find a suitable successor to his empire. The film picked up seven Academy Award nominations, though it failed to win any, making it the only film in the trilogy to not pick up an Oscar. Despite being a box office hit, the third installment is generally considered to be the most disappointing film of the epic saga. Alternative cuts of films have become increasingly popular over the course of history. Just this year, it was announced that Sylvester Stallone is working on a director's cut of Rocky IV while Zack Snyder's long-fabled cut of Justice League is set to debut in four, hour-long chunks on HBO Max next year. Snyder's undertaking has reportedly cost upwards of $30M to produce, even though he's previously confirmed that there will be no reshoots with the original cast.

Marvel's Eternals will draw some influence from manga and will also feature a Bollywood dance sequence. In a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, Chinese-born director Chloé Zhao discussed how she brought some of her childhood roots to the movie. Eternals has some of the stylized elements of manga., which are comics originating from Japan, since Zhao was a fan of them growing up. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=who-are-the-villains-kro-and-arishem-the-judge-from-marvels-eternals&captions=true"] "I have such deep, strong, manga roots," Zhao said. "I brought some of that into Eternals. And I look forward to using more of that marriage of East and West." Zhao said it was important to push thematic ideas like the marriage of East and West because Eternals is a movie about the history of humanity. In making this movie, Zhao asked herself how much bigger and further the movie could go after Avengers: Endgame because "(she's) not just making the film as a director" but "as a fan." Eternals cast member Kumail Nanjiani also revealed in the article that the Marvel film includes a Bollywood dance sequence with over 50 dancers in it. "When I walked onto the set and saw a huge group of brown people who were going to be in a Marvel movie, I felt such gratitude towards Chloé for creating the situation," said Nanjiani, whose Eternals character, Kingo, is a Bollywood star in the film. "The scene was full of joy." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/08/03/marvels-eternals-movie-explained"] Marvel Entertainment president Kevin Feige also said the film's LGBTQ relationship will be portrayed well on screen, calling it "inherent in the story and the makeup of the different types of Eternals." "I think it is extremely well done and I look forward to that level of inclusion in our future movies being less of a topic," Feige said. Feige also said that it was Zhao's Eternals pitch that sold him on the overall idea of proceeding with making the movie. "Her initial pitch to us was fascinating," Feige said. "And frankly one fo the reasons we moved forward on the movie was because of that vision that she brought to it."

Sony Pictures Television is reportedly developing a live-action TV series about Silk, an ally of Spider-Man's in the Marvel comics. Silk is the superhero pseudonym of Korean American Cindy Moon, who debuted in 2014's Spider-Man Vol. 3 #4. Lauren Moon (Atypical, Good Trouble) is in talks to write Silk, which will be executive produced by Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Amy Pascal, the former head of Sony Pictures, will also exec produce Silk. Pascal had previously been developing Silk as a feature film back in 2018. "No network or streaming service is currently attached, but sources say Amazon is in talks to acquire the project, along with other potential Marvel series based on characters Sony controls," Variety reports. Created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, Cindy Moon acquired her superpowers from the same radioactive spider that bit and transformed Peter Parker into your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. And like Spidey, Silk has a Spider-Sense, can shoot webs, and possesses superhuman speed, strength, and stamina. Cindy Moon has actually appeared in live-action before, having been portrayed by actress Tiffany Espensen as one of Peter's (Tom Holland) classmates in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War. Silk is one of a number of Spidey-related projects in development beyond Tom Holland's next MCU outing. These Sony spin-offs including Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2, Kraven the Hunter, and Olivia Wilde's Spider-Woman. Check them all out in the slideshow below. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-spider-man-movie-spin-off-in-development&captions=true"]
