The gaming industry saw a huge bump in popularity in the early 2000s and 2010s. These times introduced many new advancements in graphics and innovation when it came to developing mechanics for gamers to play around with. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell was one of the many video game franchises that was able to make a name for itself during this period of game development.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell made a name for itself when the series first came out
The video game series came to an end with Splinter Cell: Blacklist, which was a reboot of the franchise, but ended up almost killing it instead. The game, released in 2013, had many problems that fans who have been following the series for long did not like, and one of them was how the studio was not able to find a worthy replacement for the main character’s voice cast.

One of the biggest sleeper hits this year has definitely been IFC/Shudder’s Late Night With the Devil. Despite having a tiny budget and a very limited release window in theaters, the movie has still managed to gross a pretty amazing $6.2 million (and counting) at the box office. One day, it even managed to make an unholy $666,666, which, to be sure, is the kind of headline you just can’t make up. Star David Dastmalchian is a legend in the horror/ sci-fi community and seems on the verge of true leading-man status. While, throughout his career, he’s shared the screen with many iconic stars, it turns out there was one name in the cast list that impressed him more than any other.
“I’m been in movies with some very cool people, Harrison Ford to name one,” said Dastmalchian. “But, being in a film where Michael Ironside is...

Rod Serling is primarily known for creating and developing the majorly popular anthology series "The Twilight Zone," on top of being the charismatic host who bookended every episode with valuable insight. Airing for five seasons, "The Twilight Zone" was home to tales that ranged from the nostalgic to the macabre, often sprinkled with a touch of science fiction and horror that reflect everyday societal ills. Interested in telling stories that pushed the boundaries of network TV while evading censorship, Serling and his talented team of writers came up with scripts that forayed into a liminal space they dubbed The Twilight Zone, where anything was possible and nothing could be taken for granted.
Serling's legacy eclipses "The Twilight Zone," of course, as the screenwriter/playwright was also involved in penning the scripts for films like "Patterns," which was televised by the Kraft Television Theater in 1955. He additionally wrote scripts for shows...

Today, Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" is mostly remembered and still revered for the groundbreaking Oscar-nominated visual effects from Phil Tippett's Tippett Studio and Sony Pictures Imageworks (Spi). Losing the Oscar to James Cameron's "Titanic," the incredibly self-aware space epic has stayed in the public consciousness mostly due to the biting satire and enduring soap opera appeal that Verhoeven and the chiseled actors injected into the film. Based on Robert Heinlein's overtly pro-war book of the same name, Verhoeven and his writing partner Ed Neumeier took what they had learned making the dystopian action classic "Robocop" and applied it to their overblown version of "Starship Troopers."
Plans of making a big-budget parody of a sci-fi action blockbuster became even more apparent with the casting of Casper Van Dien and Denise Richards, two classically beautiful actors that looked like they walked out of the pages of a comic book.

Michael Ironside's strong jaw lost him the role of Robocop in Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi classic — he tells BFI that "Robocop" special effects creator Rob Bottin said, "If we were to do [the Robocop look] on Michael, he'd look like a Mack truck." But his stern look has gained the Canadian actor plenty of work as assorted villains and tough guys across decades. In the 1980s and '90s, he would be known for roles like the telepathic psycho killer in Darryl Revok in early David Cronenberg work "Scanners," and for the hard-boiled Naval Aviator Lieutenant Commander "Jester" Heatherly in Tony Scott's "Top Gun."
After missing out on "Robocop," Ironside would get his chance to work with Verhoeven in 1990 with "Total Recall," where he would play the foil as ferocious enforcer Richter. He would reunite with the polarizing director again seven years later, this time in an adaptation of a controversial work.
