EA Bans Apex Legends Player for Using Japanese Word Mistaken for English “N-word”

EA Bans Apex Legends Player for Using Japanese Word Mistaken for English “N-word”

It’s being reported that EA has banned a Japanese Apex Legends player for using the Japanese word “nigero,” which simply means to “run away” in Japanese.

Of course it’s probably being mistaken for that other English “n-word,” but it’s an idiotic ban nonetheless.

A notification from EA to the player informing them of their ban seemed to have first surfaced on reddit…

And word of EA’s idiocy even made its way to this Taiwanese gaming site…

A (poorly) translated snippet from the article reads “It is well known that if non-blacks use the term “n**ga” against blacks, it will be regarded as offensive racial discrimination, and the term can only be referred to among black people of the same descent. In fact, many online games do enable the detection system of inappropriate speech in chat rooms to prevent players from using text to abuse or send negative messages to hate behavior.”

And Japanese gamers weighed in on Twitter.

One Japanese Twitter user commented…

It is said that the account was banned because the Japanese word “nigero” was racist. I’ve heard that the Chinese word “nage” was misunderstood, but it’s too difficult to avoid land mines around here.

Oh boy.

I wonder how Nigerian players are handling this?

Sony’s ‘Bewitched’ Movie Reboot Delayed

Sony’s ‘Bewitched’ Movie Reboot Delayed

Sony Pictures has delayed its next reboot of the hit American sitcom ‘Bewitched.’ Originally slated to premiere in 2021 when it was announced as a television series in 2018, TV Overmind is reporting that the release date is now unknown and will now be heading the big screen.
‘MacGyver’ reboot and ’12 Monkeys’ creators Travis Fickett and Terry Matalas will be penning the script, the Wrap reports. John Davis and John Fox will be producing through Davis Entertainment. Little is known about the plot, other than it remakes the sitcom.
The original ‘Bewitched’ premiered in 1964 on ABC and ran for eight seasons. It featured Elizabeth Montgomery as the witch Samantha Stephens, married to normal human Darrin, played by Dick York and later Dick Sargent. Agnes Moorehead also appeared as Samantha’s mother Endora, who served as the antagonist for the series. The TV show had a short-lived 1977 spin-off ‘Tabitha’ featuring Lisa Hartman as Darrin and Samantha’s daughter.
This will be the fourth attempt to successfully reboot the show and the second time as a movie remake.
Nora Ephron directed, produced, and co-wrote a 2005 romantic comedy that starred Will Ferrell as Jack Wyatt, an actor playing Darrin in a remake. Nicole Kidman’s character Isabel Bigelow is cast as his co-star, who turns out to be a real witch. Michae Caine and Shirley MacLaine also starred. The film was a financial disaster, with both critics and audiences panning it.
In 2014, Sony Pictures Television shot a pilot for NBC for a TV continuation which would have seen Darrin and Samantha’s granddaughter Daphne adjusting to life as a witch. It was written by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, but was never picked up.
When the reboot was announced in 2018, ‘Black-ish’ creator Kenya Barris was attached to the project. It would have run on ABC, but that show seems to have been recycled in favor of this Sony feature film project.

Rediscovered Footage Of John Lennon Featured In ‘Look At Me’ Video

Rare footage of Beatles co-founder and world-renowned musician John Lennon appears in ‘Look At Me’ music video from the 50th Anniversary box set of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
According to Rolling Stone, John Lennon Estate released the previously unseen footage features Lennon playing with guitar, interacting with friends, and hanging out with his wife Yoko Ono. In both color, as well as black and white, we see a rare side of the lyricist as ‘Look At Me’ plays over the video.
Capitol/UMe said in a statement, “In the video … we get a glimpse into the life of John and Yoko and behind-the-scenes of their filmmaking. We see John playing acoustic guitar in between takes, his drum skin from the Sgt. Pepper’s album cover (designed by Joe Ephgrave) and his psychedelic upright piano (painted by Marijke Koger and Simon Posthuma from the Dutch design collective the Fool), the film crew setting up shots, Yoko dancing around the swimming pool while John plays his steel string and a peek into their domestic life and the undeniable connection that bound them together.”
You can watch the video below:

The Beatles alumni started writing “Look At Me” in 1968, but shelved it until the release of his solo album in 1970 where it was co-produced by Yoko Ono and Phil Spectre. Two different versions of the song would be released including on 1998’s John Lennon Anthology and 2004’s Acoustic.
John Lennon also discussed ‘Look At Me’ and what the song meant to him personally.
“A couple of tracks, which one would suppose were written under therapy, like ‘Look at Me’, were written … about a year before therapy,” he said according to UCR. “But the theme was the same: ‘Look at me,’ ‘Who am I?,’ all that jazz. So that’s why I stuck it on that album. But actually it had come from beforehand.”

Wyatt Russell Opens Up About Playing A Different Captain America In The MCU

From pro-Hockey player to Hollywood star, Wyatt Russell stars in the Marvel Studios production ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ as John Walker, the successor to Steve Rogers’ Captain America played by Chris Evans.
“I didn’t know comic books were still a thing. When I was a kid, I didn’t know anyone who read comic books,” Russell told Yahoo. “I grew up with sports and athletes. Bo Jackson was a superhero.”
When asked about MCU fans’ less-than-enthusiastic reaction to his character, Russell, who is not on social media, applauded the audience for being so passionate.
“I love that people have that and the ability to share whatever their feelings are, but it’s not in the cards for me,” Russell said. “If you don’t [get that reaction], you did something wrong.”
“I don’t like telling people how to feel because it’s like explaining your art,” he continued. “It sounds cheesy, but it is. You go out and you do it, and however, you feel is how you’re supposed to feel. I am not here to say, ‘You should like him!’”
The 21 Jump Street star also discussed his audition to play Steve Rogers in ‘Captain America: First Avenger’ before losing the role to Chris Evans.
“I think I was just brought in to read, they probably auditioned a million people,” Russell explained. “It was like anyone who had legs and could walk and could talk auditioned to play Captain America. But it was fun, I don’t remember too much. … But I kind of knew, this wasn’t happening.” He added that he was “too wet behind the ears.”
Russell took a dig at himself saying, “I was not good at acting, probably.”
He continued, “I was not going to be in a Marvel movie. I had been in like two short films and a student film.”
Russell stars in ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ which sees Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan returning to their roles as titular heroes. It explores the aftermath of Steve Rogers’ retirement, the fallout after ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ and introduces Russell’s character John Walker as the new Captain America. The show currently airs on the streaming service Disney Plus.
In the comics, John Walker is also the successor to Captain America, but he soon becomes unstable due to the pressure of the role. This forces Steve Rogers to reclaim the mantle with Walker becoming US Agent.

‘Star Wars: Republic Commando’ To Get Physical Releases and Collector’s Editions on PS4 and Nintendo Switch

‘Star Wars: Republic Commando’ was a well-received game by both gamers and critics in 2005. It currently sits at a 78 on Metacritic. The game followed a company of specially trained clones during the Clone War.
It was a squad-based first-person-shooter. It featured some great visuals and the much-missed LucasArts flair. That golden age of ‘Star Wars’ games is sorely missed, but there is a bit of a consolation prize heading our way.
It was surprising to see an article pop up on NintendoLife announcing that the game is making a surprise comeback. While ‘Republic Commando’ has been available digitally on XBOX and PS4, Nintendo Switch powers were left out in the dust until now. A digital version of the title will hit the Nintendo eShop on April 6th, thanks to Aspyr Media. For those of us who prefer physical media, Limited Run Games has that covered.

Limited Run Games
The Blu-ray and cartridge version of the shooter will become a reality this year, but only for the PS4 and Switch. However, a collector’s edition will be available for the PS4. It’s not clear if a Switch version of the CE will be appearing, but we’ll keep an eye out for more info.
Pre-orders for the standard and collector’s editions won’t start until April 14th. So, start saving them pennies because that CE is running $89.99 in good ol’ US dollars. What do you get for all that money? Check it out here:
Limited Run Games
  • A physical PS4 copy of the game
  • Thermal detonator enamel pin
  • Commemorative metal coin
  • Art cards
  • Steelbook
  • Reversible 18″x24″ poster
  • Certificate of authenticity

Now that this is a thing, what other classic LucasArts games would you like to see get the Limited Run Games treatment? The original ‘Battlefront’ titles? ‘X-Wing’? Let us know in the comments section.

Warner Bros. Animation Unveils Cast For ‘Batman: The Long Halloween Part One’

Warner Bros. Animation has revealed its ensemble cast for the long-awaited animated adaption of the hit comic book story-arc ‘Batman: The Long Halloween.’ The biggest revelation is that ‘Supernatural’ star Jensen Ackles will voice the Dark Knight and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne.
“Been sitting on this news for while now,” he wrote on Twitter. “So excited and honored to be a part of the ‘Batman’ legacy.”
Ackles previously voiced the former Robin Jason Todd in the animated feature-length film ‘Batman: Under The Red Hood,’ where Bruce Greenwood played Bruce Wayne. Prior speculation centered on ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ star Kevin Conroy voicing the Dark Knight, but the reaction to Ackles’ casting has been largely positive.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the rest of the cast includes Josh Duhamel (Safe Haven) as Gotham District Attorney Harvey Dent, Billy Burke (Twilight) as Commissioner James Gordon, Titus Welliver (The Town) as Mob boss Carmine Falcone, David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad) as Calendar Man, Troy Baker (Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Blood Prison) as the Joker, Amy Landecker (Dan in Real Life) as Barbara Gordon, Julie Nathanson (Swift) as Gilda Dent, Jack Quaid (The Hunger Games) as Alberto, Fred Tatasciore (Kung Fu Panda 2) as Solomon Grundy, and Alastair Duncan (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) as Alfred Pennyworth.
The late ‘Glee’ actress Naya Rivera will voice Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman. Rivera passed away in July 2020, but Warner Media confirms that she concluded her voice work for the movie.
The filmmakers also released a brand new image from the movie, showing that the animation will be different from the comic book series written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Tim Sale.


The movie will be helmed by Chris Palmer who made his directorial debut with ‘Superman: Man of Tomorrow’ and screenwriter Tim Sheridan, who has penned the script.

‘Cruella’ Actress Emma Stone Downplays ‘Joker’ Comparisons To The Disney Remake

‘Cruella’ Actress Emma Stone Downplays ‘Joker’ Comparisons To The Disney Remake

After the release of the first teaser of the Disney remake ‘Cruella,’ the movie’s tone, visuals, and even music were immediately compared to similar properties. Specifically, the DC Comics adaptions ‘Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey’ and ‘Joker,’ starring Joaquin Phoenix over the seeming descent into villainy of its main character after facing trouble in their life.
“It’s hard to call someone a bad ’un completely when you see them from the very beginning,” ‘Cruella’ star Emma Stone told Total Film in an interview.
“It’s very different from Joker in many ways,” she insisted.
While acknowledging that there are similar “thematic lines” in the origin stories of ‘101 Dalmatians’ antagonist Cruella De Vil and the Joker, she insisted that her portrayal is totally different.
“I would never even remotely compare myself to Joaquin Phoenix,” Stone said. “I wish I was more like him.”
‘Cruella’ director Craig Gillespie chimed in, calling ‘Joker’ “a cultural point of reference” for the audience, but stressed that the two films are not similar.
“There are some really deep, emotional things that Cruella’s dealing with that send her to the villainous darker side. So in that sense, it is [similar],” Gillespie said. “But it’s definitely its own thing. Just to sort of reframe Cruella, I thought it was important to show this darker side of her. But there’s going to be a lot of fun, a lot of humor in it. There’s a lot of absolutely delightful banter and rhythm to the style of it, which is different from Joker.”
‘Cruella’ is slated for release in May 2021. Check out the trailer below:

Emma Stone is the third actress to portray the Disney villain in a live-action setting. Glenn Close played Cruella in the 1996 film ‘101 Dalmations’ and its 2000 sequel ‘102 Dalmations.’ The ABC series ‘Once Upon A Time’ featured Victoria Smurfit as the villainous fashionista, giving her the ability to control animals.
DeVil’s first appearance in a Disney setting was the 1961 animated feature ‘One Hundred and One Dalmatians’ where she was voiced by Betty Lou Gerson.

‘Death On The Nile’ Delayed Due To Allegations Against Star Armie Hammer

Kenneth Branagh’s movie adaption of Agatha Christie’s ‘Death On The Nile’ is facing another delay for the theatrical release following allegations and the subsequent police investigation into sexual assault claims against the film’s star Armie Hammer.
Walt Disney Pictures made the call to push the film to February 2022, AV Club reports. They acquired the rights to the movie after its acquisition of 20th Century Fox. With the Los Angeles Police Department investigating Hammer, the production company is trying to decide what to do, not wanting to risk a flop. Reshooting would be “nearly impossible to pull off” citing the massive amount of screentime Hammer’s character has and the large ensemble cast including Gal Gadot, Letitia Wright, Annette Bening, Rose Leslie, Sophie Okonedo, Russell Brand, Dawn French, and Jennifer Saunders who have moved on to other projects.
The movie has already been delayed six times, due to the Fox buyout and then over cinema closures during the coronavirus lockdowns.
Watch the trailer below:

Hammer faces allegations of rape and sexual assault following leaked private messages where ‘The Lone Ranger’ actor mentioned some bizarre fantasies including cannibalism. According to People Magazine, a young woman came forward with rape charges leading to a subsequent police investigation by the LAPD. Hammer is denying all of the allegations.
‘Death on the Nile’ is not the only movie to be affected by the police investigation against the ‘Social Network’ star. Hammer exited the Amma Asante directed Cold War thriller ‘Billion Dollar Spy,’ where he was set to be co-stars with Mads Mikkelsen. Hammer departed the Watergate scandal miniseries ‘Gaslit’ and was replaced by Josh Duhamel in the Jennifer Lopez film ‘Shotgun Wedding.’
His minor role in the Taika Waititi film ‘Next Goal Wins’ has been cut from the film by production company Searchlight.
Future projects were also cast in doubt after his talent agency and longtime publicist both ceased representing him.

Mel Gibson Spotted Filming New Spy Thriller In Georgia

Eager fans living in Augusta, Georgia were excited to get a glimpse of ‘Braveheart’ actor Mel Gibson during on-location filming of the new spy flick ‘Agent Game,’ directed by Grant S. Johnson of ‘Nighthawks’ fame. The actor was shooting scenes in the city’s downtown area near Augusta University.
Several of the film’s producers also posted images of themselves eating at the Pinnacle Club on AU’s campus, reports the August Chronicle. This has caused great excitement for the city as crowds gathered at areas where notices were posted about the filming in the hopes of catching a glimpse of Gibson or one of his co-stars. One local recognized the actor right away citing his roles in ‘Lethal Weapon’ and ‘Mad Max.’
“I think it’s definitely cool,” he said.
Augusta Film liaison Jennifer Bowen told the Augusta Chronicle, “It’s fantastic to have filming going on again in Augusta. This is actually our second production this year.”
She continued, “Definitely, after a very bleak 2020, this is a very bright spot for us. It has meant local hiring, local film industry professionals are back to work, it has also brought economic impact to our hotels who are able to have some business because of this production.”
“Augusta is back open to filming,” Bowen added. “The film industry has very stringent COVID guidelines, they really are self-regulating and self-policing. They are doing everything they can do to be producing in a very safe and health safety conscious environment. We are glad to have them working in our city.”
‘Agent Game’ is a spy thriller whose official synopsis reveals the plot is about a “CIA officer who finds himself the target of a rendition operation after being scapegoated for the death of an interrogation subject.”
Joining Gibson in the film are Dermot Mulroney (Insidious: Chapter 3), Katherine McNamara (Maze Runner: The Death Cure), Kate Cassidy (Taken), Rhys Coiro (Hustlers), and Annie Ilonzeh (Peppermint).
“Agent Game is my third feature film,” Johnson wrote on his website. “This is the first film I am solely the Director. Tyler W. Konney is Producing and Konney and Mike Langer co-wrote the screenplay. The film is an action spy thriller in the vein of ‘Sicario’ and ‘Body of Lies.’ More to come soon. . .”
