Bohemia Interactive’s DayZ has been reclassified MA15+ in Australia, closing the book on a tumultuous few months for the game down under. This means DayZ is no longer banned for sale in Australia and will be able to be released at retail for PS4 and Xbox One later this year as planned.

DayZ was refused classification on June 4 this year due to “illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards,” a quirk of the Australian game classification guidelines that Australia’s Interactive Games and Entertainment Association has called “nonsensical.” DayZ was refused classification due to cannabis use that, in the Classification Board’s opinion, “acted as an incentive or reward to boost overall health and survivability.”

Members of the press were able to attend early screenings of Stephen King's IT Chapter Two, and the first impressions are a bit of mixed.

Many say that IT Chapter Two doesn't quite live up to the high standards of the first film, but it still has some great scary moments and the cast is fantastic. A lot of praise was also given to Bill Hader, who many say stole the movie.

Here's our roundup of the first reactions to IT Chapter Two.

IGN's own Jim Vejvoda said that IT Chapter Two "can't quite stick the landing nor live up to the high expectations set by Chapter One," although there still are some "creepy set-pieces & solid perfomances to make for an effective albeit formulaic conclusion."

News that Marvel and Sony have come to an impasse while negotiating new terms on their deal to share Spider-Man could very well mean, if a new deal isn’t reached, that Peter Parker will no longer be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Tom Holland’s version of Spider-Man became fully immersed in the MCU after debuting in Captain America: Civil War, but now we may be getting a solo Spidey film that can’t reference many of the plot threads established since then. Holland is contracted to appear in two more Spider-Man films, so let’s take a look at all of the elements that Sony will likely have to abandon in future movies.

What better way to mark the 20th anniversary of the release of The Matrix than long-awaited confirmation of a new sequel. Warner Bros. confirmed The Matrix 4 is in the works, with original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss and co-director Lana Wachowski all returning.

This news finally puts to rest years of rumors about the potential future of the franchise -- and there have been many. Read on for a breakdown of all the Matrix 4 rumors and the different forms this sequel might have taken.

A New Matrix Duology/Trilogy

Several times over the past decade, rumors have sprung up concerning a brand new series of films continuing where The Matrix Revolutions left off. AICN reported back in 2011 that Reeves had met with the Wachowskis and read their treatment for a pair of sequels. EW later shot down that rumor.

The bombshell news that Marvel Studios may not produce any more Spider-Man films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has left many fans angry at Sony for not agreeing to new terms - so angry that several are claiming they'll boycott future Sony films and even Sony's PlayStation 4 over the ordeal. Some petitions to keep Spider-Man in the MCU are also starting to gain attention.

Across the internet, #BoycottSony is gaining traction as fans desperately voice their hope that Spider-Man will remain in the MCU.

Many seem to be complaining as a way to keep Spider-Man in the MCU (for the record, the companies are still in negotiations so there is some hope left), but others appear to be completely serious about the boycott.

For the last few years, Spider-Man has been an integral part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This was in thanks to the collaboration between Sony and Marvel Studios, who were able to share the character (and the profits to his films). Now it's being reported that Spider-Man will no longer be part of the MCU and that Sony will no longer co-produce Spider-Man films with Marvel Studios due to an inability to renegotiate the terms of the deal to share the character.

This news comes just one day after Spider-Man: Far From Home reportedly earned over a billion dollars at the global box office, making it Sony's highest-grossing movie of all time. Clearly negotiations were underway between Disney and Sony, and neither could agree on the terms of adjusting the overall deal.

According to sources speaking to Deadline, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige secretly worked on Sony Picture’s 2018 Venom film. This comes hot off the heels of the news that Spider-Man will no longer be featured in the MCU thanks to a financial disagreement between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures.

Deadline reporter Mike Fleming Jr. reports that Disney CEO Bob Iger had attempted to broker a deal between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, all to allow future cross-studio projects like Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home to continue.
