Community got 6 seasons and, as the prophecy foretold, is finally getting the long-awaited movie.

Peacock has ordered a movie based on the long-running comedy by Dan Harmon. Perhaps even more exciting, is that almost all the original cast members will return, including Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong. Notably, original starts Yvette Nicole Brown and Donald Glover have not been confirmed – and Chevy Chase is extremely unlikely to return after a very public falling out over the show.

Along with the movie, Peacock has also secured non-competitive rights to air Community Season Six.

“‘Six seasons and a movie’ started out as a cheeky line from Community’s early seasons and quickly ignited a passionate fan movement for this iconic, hilarious and cool (cool, cool) NBC comedy,” said chairman of entertainment content at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, Susan Rovner. “We’re incredibly grateful that 15 years later, we are able to deliver fans this promised movie and can’t wait to get to work with Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest, Joel McHale, Sony, and our partners at UTV to continue this epic comedy for Peacock audiences.”

Earlier today, a Tweet from Community star Joel McHale hinted that the movie, which has been teased ever since the show wrapped in 2015, might be on its way.

The Tweet is a reference to the phrase “Six seasons and a movie” which has popped up time and time again on the show, and subsequently its devoted fanbase.

It was first uttered by Abed (Danny Pudi) during the Season 2 episode, Paradigms of Human Memory – a spin of the “flashback that never happened” episode trope that clearly resonated with fans. Taking a shot at the canceled TV show, The Cape, this episode sees Abed dressed as the Cape from the show during one of the flashbacks that never happened.

Jeff is visibly angered and shouts “The show's gonna last three weeks!” In response, Abed says “Six seasons and a movie,” while running off, creating the meme that became a rallying cry for fans of Community across the globe – especially as the show seemingly faced cancellation throughout its own six seasons.

Now, with the show’s six seasons behind us, it looks as though Community is finally getting its own movie, and it’s been on the cards for some time. Creator Dan Harmon has been saying that the film “will happen” since 2016, with regular updates suggesting the film is on its way over the years.

Most recently, Harmon revealed that he pitched a Community movie back in August… and it looks as though Peacock took him up on the idea.

Community creator Dan Harmon is writing the movie and is also on board as executive producer, but no director has been locked in as yet. McHale, Andrew Guest, Russ Krasnoff, and Gary Foster are also on board as executive producers.

Director Colin Trevorrow has suggested there should only ever have been one Jurassic Park movie but that he ultimately made Dominion so the franchise could find its way forward.

In a recent interview with Empire magazine, Trevorrow suggested Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park was an "inherently un-franchisable" movie that probably didn't warrant any sequels, so in order to forge a new path for the franchise to continue, it was important to evolve the series and find fresh opportunities for where it could go, especially after Jurassic World Dominion.

"For the franchise to be able to move forward – because it's inherently unfranchisable, there probably should have only been one Jurassic Park – but if we're gonna do it, how can I allow them to tell stories in a world in which dinosaurs exist, as opposed to, here's another reason why we're going to an island?" he said, explaining how he adjusted his thinking for Dominion.

After changing the DNA of the franchise and shifting focus to a story about characters coexisting with dinosaurs, Trevorrow said he spoke to Universal about where the franchise could potentially go next. He shared his hopeful outlook that Dominion had laid the groundwork for future Jurassic movies rather than acting as a conclusion of the franchise.

"This movie clearly takes a real interest in creating new characters that a new generation is going to latch on to – Kayla Watts [DeWanda Wise], and Mamoudou Athie's character Ramsay Cole, who I think, in the Extended Edition, you really feel his purpose in a greater way. And Dichen Lachman's character [Soyona Santos], who just gets arrested at the end," he said. "There's more to come."

Dominion saw the return of Jurassic Park legends Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill, but many criticized the film for squandering this reunion.

IGN's review of Jurassic World Dominion called it "an imperfect addition" to the blockbuster franchise, but praised the film's narrative for managing to introduce "an impressive marriage between ever-present nostalgia and the constantly evolving challenges of having prehistoric creatures roaming free in our world."

Hideo Kojima was reportedly working on a follow-up to Death Stranding that was meant to be an exclusive title for Google Stadia. However, it was apparently canceled due to its single-player nature.

According to a report by 9to5Google, the next Death Stranding (there's no word on whether it was a sequel prequel, or spin-off) would not have had the first game’s collaborative and asynchronous multiplayer features, such as building bridges in your world that could show up in other players’.

This was reportedly the basis for Google’s decision to cancel the game, as the company believed that a solo experience wouldn’t sell very well. The game was reportedly in early development as Google greenlit the project, but when the company was shown mockups in 2020, the project was subsequently canceled. The final decision was reportedly made by Stadia general manager Phil Harrison.

We've contacted Kojima Productions and Google for comment. [Update: Kojima Productions declined to comment]

Google announced yesterday that it would be shutting down Stadia on January 18, 2023. Thankfully, Google is offering full refunds for those who bought into the platform. It’s been a rocky road for the game streaming platform, as the first biggest sign of its decline was when Google decided to shut down its first party development studios last year.

Currently, Hideo Kojima is working on a game with Microsoft that will utilize the company’s “cutting edge technology,” particularly its cloud services. Earlier this year, Norman Reedus seemingly confirmed that a sequel to Death Stranding was also in development.

NECA is currently king of the hill when it comes to high-quality Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, no matter whether you prefer your TMNT collectibles to be based on the animated series, live-action movies or the classic Mirage comics. The latter group will be especially pleased with NECA's latest exclusive figure, which pays homage to Shredder's earliest comic book appearances.

NECA's new Shredder figure is directly inspired by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's early comics, from the sculpt right down to the new black and white paint scheme. Get a closer look at this new figure in the slideshow gallery below:

Like the rest of NECA's TMNT line, this Shredder is sculpted in a 7-inch scale. It includes multiple interchangeable weapons and hands and features unique packaging with art from Eastman. The packaging is designed to match NECA's other Mirage-inspired TMNT figures, including the recent Fugitoid figure.

This Shredder figure is also notable for being the first release in a new partnership between NECA and Walmart. The two have teamed for an online platform called AutoT, which focuses on limited edition collectibles and the promise of guaranteed authenticity. Figures purchased through AutoT can be stored in a digital vault, allowing fans to show off their collections online. AutoT will also offer signed versions of certain collectibles. In the case of Shredder, 1 out of every 10 figures will be randomly autographed by Eastman.

Walmart and NECA will be revealing more information about the AutoT platform on Monday, October 3. Preorders for the Shredder figure will go live on October 6, and in-person AutoT kiosks will also begin showing up in select Walmart stores on October 15.

2022 has been a good year for the TMNT franchsie as a whole, with both the arcade brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge and the animated film Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie doing justice to the franchise's colorful legacy.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Winston Duke has shared some new images from the upcoming MCU sequel, spotlighting M'Baku, Nakia, and Riri Williams, amongst others.

Anticipation is building in the lead-up to the theatrical release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which will officially mark the end of the MCU's Phase 4. Actor Winston Duke decided to treat fans by sharing a fresh glimpse of the movie on Instagram. "New Wakanda Forever stills are here people," he wrote in the caption. "It's almost that time… I've got chills already!!"

The gallery gives a teaser of what's to come in Wakanda, starting with a photo of Duke's M'Baku standing stoically in a full suit of armor, followed by an image of Nakia dressed in all-white. Ramonda and Nakia are both pictured separately with Riri Williams, who is making her MCU debut in the film, while the spotlight is also directed at new character Aneka.

Instead of one lead character, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will focus on the larger supporting cast, including Letitia Wright's Shuri, Angela Bassett's Queen Ramonda, Winston Duke's M'Baku, and Lupita Nyong'o's Nakia, as they navigate the passing of the original Black Panther and the theme of moving on in the face of insurmountable odds.

According to a recent theater listing, the upcoming Marvel movie clocks in at 2 hours 41 minutes – that makes it the longest Phase 4 movie as well as the longest non-Avengers film in the entire MCU - but with plenty of new stories emerging in the recent Wakanda Forever teaser trailer, it looks like there’s plenty of justification for a pretty hefty runtime.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be released in theaters on November 11, 2022. For more, check out why Namor is a villain in the film and our breakdown of the sequel's first trailer.
