Battlefield 1 Story Won't Be One Singular Campaign

Battlefield 1's newly-revealed single player mode will take the form of an anthology of short stories, rather than the expected single character arc.

Announced on the Battlefield blog, DICE explained that the game will feature multiple "War Stories: personal stories focusing on different protagonists with unique backgrounds and skills."

We've seen many, or even all of those protagonists in yesterday's single-player trailer (above), including the young soldier, Danny Edwards assigned to a British tank crew in a section titled 'Through Mud and Blood'.

"Our protagonist has no experience of these modern war vehicles and needs to learn – and learn fast," reads the blog. "Our hero is also struggling with earning the trust of his fellow crew members, so there’s a social dynamic in the story, making the whole thing something personal.

Elon Musk Outlines Plans to Colonize Mars

SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk plans to have people living on Mars within decades.

During a presentation earlier today, titled Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species, Musk outlined SpaceX's plan to accomplish the long-dreamed-of feat of colonizing Mars. The company's first manned mission will use its Interplanetary Transport System, which it test fired yesterday, to send 100 people on an 80-day trip to the Red Planet.

Those who first arrive on Mars will be tasked with learning to grow resources on the planet's notoriously harsh surface, as well as harvesting materials to create the fuel needed for the return mission. However, the first group shouldn't expect to utilize that fuel, as Musk said "the risk of fatality will be very high" for those on the first journeys. Candidates should be "prepared to die," he added.

Luke Cage Shows a Different Side of the Marvel Hero Than We Saw in Jessica Jones

Marvel’s Luke Cage debuts its 13-episode season this coming Friday on Netflix, as the third Netflix/Marvel series so far puts the focus on Mike Colter’s bulletproof hero, after his debut in Jessica Jones.

I sat down with Colter and Like Cage executive producer/showrunner Cheo Coker to talk about using Luke’s prior depiction in Jessica as a springboard, the appeal of the character and more.

IGN: Cheo, at what point in the Jessica Jones process did you become involved and begin developing the Luke Cage series while they were also making Jessica?

Coker: I think Mike had just been cast, and, like I’ve said before, I thank

Melissa Rosenberg every time I see her for casting Mike as Luke, because he is literally Luke Cage. I mean he isn’t Luke Cage… but he is Luke Cage! So my thing about it is, I couldn’t have asked for a better partner and a better lead actor and character. Mike is so incredibly talented, you can throw anything at him, and he can do it. And he can do it on the fly. He is the perfect person to build the show around.

Fired Walking Dead Showrunner Seeks Over $280M in Lawsuit

Frank Darabont, who developed AMC's hit television series The Walking Dead (and was the original showrunner), is moving forward with his lawsuit against the network, seeking a hefty sum from AMC that amounts to over $280 million in damages.

A certificate of trial readiness was filed on Monday, and AMC has since responded to Darabont's charges, providing The Hollywood Reporter with the following statement: "Plaintiffs' damages claim has no basis in reality and we will continue to vigorously defend against this lawsuit."

Darabont, who was fired during The Walking Dead's second season, is claiming that AMC owes him contingent profits by producing the series and then licensing it to their own cable network affiliate at a low fee -- lower than they would when paying for a show from an outside studio -- to ensure the show wouldn't make enough for those who have a stake in its profits. He also says AMC unfairly lowered his share of the profits by designating him as not fully involved in Season 2, while he insists he was involved in all of the episodes that season, in some capacity. Last year, it was said Darabont was also contending he was owed money tied to Talking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead, as derivative productions of The Walking Dead.

The Strain Will End With Season 4

The Strain has been renewed for a fourth season, which will serve as the series' last, FX Productions has announced.

Showrunner Carlton Cuse, as well as Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan will be back to steer the final chapter, which will premiere sometime next summer.

"We sincerely thank Carlton Cuse, Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan, and their creative team as well as the fantastic cast for three exciting seasons of The Strain," FX original programming president Nick Grad said in a statement accompanying the announcement. "Though we’re sad to see it go, we fully support the way in which they are crafting the fourth season’s dramatic conclusion."

The Strain was originally pitched as a three-season story, but after developing the series, Cuse, del Toro, and Hogan realized they could extend the narrative a bit further. Just last month, Cuse said the end for The Strain was in sight and the team was looking at how to wrap up the series following their work on Season 3.
