Pokemon fans are struggling to hold back their excitement as the first live-action Pokemon movie is about to hit theaters around the globe. You could say that some fans will be 'dancing' there way into their seat as it appears the entire movie has leaked early...

If you didn't know, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds will be starring as Pikachu in the upcoming Detective Pikachu movie. The movie release is only a few days out and Reynolds has taken to his personal Twitter account to share a supposed full-length movie leak link. The video that Reynolds has linked to features 1 hour and 42 minutes of a Detective Pikachu.

Before reading any further I would suggest you check the YouTube link out for yourself, it is located within the entirety of this post. Of course this isn't a legitimate movie leak, but more so a marketing tactic to get that hype level just that little bit higher before the movie hits theaters. Detective Pikachu officially hits theaters on May 10, 2019. If you want to see how Ryan Reynolds converted himself into Detective Pikachu, check out this link here.

Some new reports have come out that consider the idea that Netflix's Witcher TV show has wrapped up season ones filming. It's now believed that the show has been moved into post-production.

Last week, director of Netflix's Witcher TV show, Charlotte Brandstrom posted to Instagram an image with the caption "Goodbye Budapest..." If you have been following the shooting leaks of the Witcher TV series then you would know that most of the filming leaks have been out of Budapest, Hungry. A leaked video of the set filming can be found here if anyone has missed that.

Another leaked video has been found on actor Adam Levy's instagram. The video is captioned "#Ciri and #Mousesack #thewitchernetflix enjoying #mocktails and #cocktails #Druid and #lioncubofcintra celebrating the wrap of another chunk of this epic journey." Combining both of these posts we can summarize that season one of Netflix's Witcher TV show is at least partly complete. I'm sure there would be a few shots of either landscapes, short scenes etc that would still need to be done.

Three brand new titles have been added to the Video Game Hall of Fame, these titles have been deemed to have impacted video gaming and pop culture heavily earning their way into the Hall of Fame.

First off we have Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat raised a lot of eye brows when it was released back in 1992 with its over-the-top violence and how children reacted to it. Originally, many parents and doctors believed that violence within video games resulted in the child growing up and developing violent traits, it was recently discovered that there is no hard evidence to this claim.

Microsoft's Solitaire has also been inducted into the Hall of Fame, marking that classically old games as old as Solitaire can still attract a massive amount of people. Solitaire has been installed in over 1 billion PC's around the world. Super Mario Kart which was released back in 1992 was also introduced to the Hall of Fame and it is said the game deserved this honor for the way its led genre defining experience in racing games. The World Video Game Hall of Fame officials have said they siphoned through over 1,000 nominations for these awards from more than 100 countries. They managed to get the nominees down to 12, the others that didn't quite make it are; Candy Crush Saga, Half-Life, NBA 2K, Sid Meier's Civilization and Super Smash Bros. Melee

Well holy sh*t, the Avengers: Endgame has reached level 3000 or rather has become the second-highest-grossing movie of all time. It has just beaten Titanic (1997) which grossed $2.187 billion (when adjusted for inflation) and now has Avatar set in its sights.

Avengers: Endgame has now made $2.189 billion and we're barely two weeks into its run in theaters, with the next movie in its sights is the highest-grossing movie of all time, Avatar. Avatar had a huge haul (well at least it did until now) of $2.8 billion globally, and it seems at this rate Avengers: Endgame will beat that by next week.

James Cameron directed both Titanic and Avatar and since the 2009 release of Avatar he hasn't had any major tent pole movies released, with Avatar 2 now set to release on 17 December 2020. Until Avatar 2 it looks like Disney and Marvel Studios will have the #1 grossing movie of all time with Avengers: Endgame.

Imagine stepping into the shoes of one of the most well-known and famous video game and television series characters, Pikachu. Well, Ryan Reynolds shows us how he goes about doing exactly that!

The video shows Reynolds applying black dots all over his face using a black stencil, this is one of the many steps to doing motion capture. He then advises fans that if they want to begin the motion capturing process they will need to send a recording of there face to an expensive movie studio to render it.

Some quite sad news has come out of the Star Wars universe today as Peter Mayhew, the actor who played legendary Star Wars character Chewbacca has passed away.

Before Mayhew begun his journey as Chewbacca he was a hospital orderly, originally George Lucas picked up Mayhew for his height as he comes in a whopping seven foot three (220cm). After the filming of the movies, Mayhew went back to his life at the hospital and then returned to play the character again in The Empire Strikes Back and then Return of the Jedi.

The last time Mayhew was able to play Chewbacca was in The Force Awakens which is family describes as "he fought his way back from being wheelchair-bound to stand tall and portray Chewbacca once more in Star Wars: The Force Awakens." The Force Awakens was the last performance of Chewbacca Mayhew could do before passing away at his home in Texas at the age of 74. Before Mayhew died he handed the role of Chewbacca onto actor Joonas Suotamo, who is expected to play Chewbacca in the next upcoming Star Wars movie, The Rise of Skywalker.

The images were quite odd and showcased Sonic with no gloves, shoes and a cheeky look on his face. According to SEGABits, a new trailer for this movie will be released tomorrow and we should see the final design of Sonic.

Combined with the rumored trailer announcement we also get a image of Jim Carrey playing Dr. Robotnik.
