Casting the Starlight Movie with Mark Millar
When we recently caught up with Mark Millar to discuss Kingsman: The Secret Service, we also picked his brain about another of his comics about to make the transition to film – Starlight.
Fox own the rights to the sci-fi tale, with Gary Whitta – who has just finished scripting duties on Gareth Edwards' Star Wars flick – writing the screenplay.

Sony Sells 6.4 Million PS4 Consoles in Latest Quarter
Sony has revealed it sold 6.4 million PlayStation 4 consoles during its third financial quarter, helping the company to a significant profit.
The company's financial results for the period between September 1 and December 31 last year reveal impressive sales for the Game and Network Services division with a huge 147 million PS4 games sold. In the same period last year, we saw 4.5 million PS4s and 128 million games sold.
As a result of the above-expected sales this time around, the division's sales were boosted up 16.8 percent year-on-year to ¥531.5 billion ($4.4 billion). As usual, favourable exchange rates and more money from PS Plus and PSN transactions helped hike that number up too.
Destiny: House of Wolves Release Date, Details Possibly Leaks
Details about Destiny's upcoming House of Wolves expansion, including a release date, have appeared online.
Reddit user megamanexe4 managed to find out the details through datamining the game's files, though Bungie has since warned fans that all the information could change. According to megamanexe4, the DLC will unlock on May 19, which is a Tuesday. This is the same day of the week the game resets, and when previous expansion The Dark Below released.
A leak earlier in the year suggested we'd be seeing House of Wolves in March, and according to megamanexe4 some of the new content is still scheduled to unlock then. He suggests a patch will be released in the near future to modify the date to May, when the majority of new features are set to become available.
