Gamecube’s ‘Eternal Darkness’ May Return On Nintendo Switch

Published

on

You guys remember Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem? It was perhaps one of my personal favorites on Nintendo Gamecube. Well, we got some great news for you, Eternal Darkness fans. According to Gamespot, Nintendo submitted an application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office recently on behalf of a trademark renewal.

Since Nintendo is about to unveil the Nintendo Switch, the action could be a prelude to the possibility of us getting a re-release or possible sequel to the cult game. The application specifically mentions “downloadable electronic game software.” This probably means we will be seeing a re-release, but anything is possible.

Even if it is just a re-release, it has been over a decade since its 2002 release. At this point any return would be a welcomed one. This wouldn’t be the first time we have seen a trademark extension from Nintendo for this title, but lets keep our fingers crossed that we see something sooner than later.

The game followed Alexandra Roivas, during her investigation of her grandfathers murder. While looking around a creepy mansion, she discovers a secret room that leads her to a book, similar to to the Necronomicon. The skin and bone bound book reveals stories that take you through history.  The more she reads the more she becomes entangled with sinister forces.

The game had a device that was ahead of its time. The ‘sanity meter,’ was reduced when encountering an enemy. The effects of losing your sanity, would distort your gameplay and play audible creepy sounds. The game also broke the fourth wall. If your sanity meter became low, the game would lower the volume on your tv, or fool you into thinking there were errors with your Gamecube.

With the Nintendo Switch just around the corner this is some exciting news. This re-release combined with the new Zelda game, could sway me into pre-ordering the new console.

What other games would you guys like to see return to Nintendo? Let us know in the comments below.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date

Published

Jake gyllenhaal presumed innocent

Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s in ‘Presumed Innocent’

Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.

These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:

According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”

Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.

Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.
