Final Fantasy VII Remake Staff Recruiting for Development
The first part of Final Fantasy VII Remake may still be a ways off from release, if recruitment messages from the core staff behind the project are any indication.
Members from Square Enix's Business Division 1, including director director Tetsuya Nomura, producer Yoshinori Kitase and development leader Naoki Hamaguchi, posted recruitment letters on Square Enix's official site. According to Nomura's message, translation courtesy of Siliconera, the team is "urgently" seeking additional talent to join the development team.
Logan Director Reveals Jean Grey Deleted Scene
Full spoilers follow for Logan.
With Logan now out on Blu-ray, the film’s director James Mangold has been talking again about the final outing for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. I sat down with the helmer recently to delve a little deeper into the film, and we talked about a variety of things including the shocking scene that was originally meant to open Logan.
Another moment from the film that I specifically wanted to ask Mangold about was the dinner scene featuring Logan, Xavier, Laura and the family, including actor Eriq La Salle, that plays host to them for the night. It’s a very warm, quiet stopover for the film which manages to allude to Logan and Xavier’s past while also driving home how deep their relationship goes. But Mangold explained that originally that scene also included a reference to another X-Man: the late Jean Grey.

Can Boruto Live Up to Naruto’s Legacy?
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is only a few episodes into its first season, and even though it hasn’t had much time, it has a lot to live up to. It’s been a slow, character-focused start.
Crunchyroll’s Naruto expert and Brand Manager, Victoria Holden, joins me in discussing what Boruto as a series needs to do to live up to its predecessor. In the video above we discuss things we’d like to see change from Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden, and what opportunities Boruto has to expand on the ninja world.

The Flash: Is the Thinker Season 4’s Main Villain?
While most of the chatter surrounding The Flash's Season 3 finale surrounds the shocking, status quo-altering ending, that wasn't the only big development to be found in that episode. Savitar may have given fans a major clue as to which DC villain will be headlining the upcoming fourth season. And as promised, this villain won't be another evil speedster, but rather a shadowy criminal mastermind known as The Thinker.
Full spoilers for The Flash continue below.
"Finish Line" is actually the second episode this season where one of Barry Allen's time-traveling enemies has referenced a character named DeVoe. Earlier, Abra Kadabra spoke of DeVoe in the same breath as Reverse-Flash and Zoom, implying that this villain is in their league in terms of power and overall threat level. And in "Finish Line," Savitar reminisced about building a machine to stop DeVoe's telekinetic powers before reminding himself that Team Flash circa-2017 has yet to encounter this enemy. It would seem the writers are laying the seeds for their next major villain much in the same way Arrow set the stage for Damien Darhk in late Season 3. Here's where we think the show might be headed with DeVoe as its main antagonist in Season 4.
