Netflix Is Going to Try to Make Live-Action ‘Assassin’s Creed’ Happen Again

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-07-24 02:30:42

In what might be the biggest flex from a streamer to assert dominance in the video game adaptation space, Netflix has announced that its next venture will be to create a live-action adaptation of Ubisoft’s megapopular series, Assassin’s Creed. In a press release, Netflix announced that its live-action Assassin’s Creed series will be helmed by Emmy nominees Roberto Patino and David Wiener, who respectively worked on shows like Westworld, Sons of Anarchy, and Paramount’s own video game adaptation

More (But Not All) of the Original ‘Trek’ Crew Will Come to ‘Strange New Worlds’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-07-27 22:15:28

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is uniquely situated on the Trek timeline, showing us adventures that unfurled not long before the original series. That means that there’s no avoiding having some familiar character names popping up, and with that, the built-in fun of seeing, say, an iconic figure like Spock be played in a younger iteration, with Ethan Peck stepping in for Leonard Nimoy. This fun change in perspective is something fans already experienced in J.J. Abrams’ alt-world Star Trek movies

Crunchyroll Accidentally Left AI Slop in Anime Subtitles

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-17 10:20:56

Crunchyroll, the massively popular anime streaming service and distributor, just got caught using obvious AI slop in its subtitles. The slipup was made in the premiere episode of a new series called "Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show" — and trust us, there's no guesswork involved in sniffing out the AI here. Around the 19:12 mark, the show's German subtitles feature a big fat "ChatGPT said:" jammed into the dialog. A classic, lazy error. (We double checked, and it's still there as of this

Crunchyroll's lazy AI subtitles have anime fans furious

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-18 06:56:21

At the start of last year, Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini told The Verge the company was "very focused on testing" generative AI tools for subtitling and captioning speech to text. The comment came just months after the streamer temporarily took down the debut episode of one of its newest shows, The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons, after people complained about poor subtitles. Much of the translation was nonsensical, with missing punctuation in many sentences. At the time, some fans speculated th

Though previously troubled, the Peacock and A24 series Crystal Lake is now moving full speed ahead—Linda Cardellini will star as Jason Voorhees’ equally murderous mom, Pamela Voorhees—Friday the 13th fans are still longing to see Jason return to the big screen. The rights to the franchise have been in a legal tangle for years, with Sean S. Cunningham, who directed and produced the 1980 original, recently speculating that a new Friday the 13th movie is still a far-off notion. That’s still seemin
