Minecraft's "final" movie trailer is more of the same, but at least Jennifer Coolidge is in it

Minecraft's live-action movie adaptation is almost upon us, and with its 4th April release date looming, Warner Bros. has shared a "final" trailer - giving us a quick glimpse of Jack Black's Nether region, as well as Jennifer Coolidge in a still-mysterious role.

For this fourth and final trailer, the bombastic action of earlier showings is cranked even higher. As huge armies of classic Minecraft mobs - including Piglin Brutes and Iron Golems - amass for some sort climactic set-piece battle. That's balanced out by some sillier moments, but none of this is likely to win over anyone who's previously been put off by the ugliness of it all.

We get even more of those nightmare villagers. As well as Ghasts that looked like they've just slipped in from some eldritch dimension. I'm still not convinced by the Creepers either, given what I'd always assumed were a sort of sentient cactus have been reimagined as angry shoeboxes covered in astroturf. Thank goodness for Jennifer Coolidge, then, who immediately improves the situation at the end of the trailer, simply by being Jennifer Coolidge.

The Minecraft movie, if you haven't been keeping up, follows four "misfits" - played by Sebastian Hansen, Danielle Brooks. Emma Myers, and Jason Momoa - who're suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into a "bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination". To get back home, they'll need to embark on a magical quest with help from Jack Black's Steve.

I can't honestly say the Minecraft movie is something I'll personally be rushing out to watch based on everything Warner Bros. has shown so far, but it does at least look like the kind of harmlessly amusing fluff that - between its silly gags and. Mild peril - should shut the kids up for an hour or two. And if that suits, it's coming to cinemas on 4th April.

The new Terminator 2D already looks like the best Terminator game since the Mega Drive / Genesis, and I'm not kidding

Terminator 2: Judgement Day is the single greatest Hollywood blockbuster of all time. I don't care about box office receipts or any other criteria other than the fact that this is the most beautifully-paced and. Spectacular action movie I've ever seen. I've been watching it on repeat ever since my dad brought home the VHS tape way back in the early '90s, and. It's one of those films that is so thrilling and packed with detail that it will never get old. It's terrifically sad they never made another Terminator movie after this, but what're you going to do.

At the time there were several game tie-ins, and I particularly remember the Game Boy one. Mainly because it featured the Arnie/John bike scene and had an amazing animation for aiming the shotgun backwards or forwards. But my fondest memories of a Terminator game is the 2D adaptation of the original movie for the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis in America), which went all-out trying to recreate the grimy and gory aesthetic while being a great 2D shooter that stayed as faithful as it could to the film's major beats.

I suspect that more than a few of the developers at Bitmap Bureau also have fond memories of that game. Because the newly showcased Terminator 2D: No Fate almost feels like the direct sequel it never got. This is a 2D adaptation of Terminator 2 that in its first trailer, just over a minute long, serves up outstanding recreations of the movie's biggest blowout scenes, which feature distinct styles of play, and simply screams "love letter" from every pixel.

Arnie's arrival melting a concave chunk out of the truck he lands next to: Check. Sarah in the asylum, working out then going Rambo on the guards: Check. The T-800 socking thugs to get their clothes, John Connor screaming away from the T-1000 on his dirtbike, Arnie grabbing him off onto the Harley as the T-1000's truck closes in, Sarah and. John running away in desperation at the foundry… check check check check!

Obviously we need to keep things in perspective: This is a 2D side-scrolling game. It's not gonna rewrite the rulebook nor win many game of the year awards. But it feels laser-targeted at those of us who grew up sometime in the '90s and adored this movie, and as Bitmap Bureau's Mike Tucker puts it: "We feel like it's the T2 game we should have had back in our youth."

The levels seem to split between Contra-style run-n-gun, brawler sections, fixed shooting sequences (such as Arnie shooting at the cops from high-up in Cyberdyne systems). And in the Sarah Connor prison section I got vibes of both Prince of Persia and Blizzard's Blackthorne. Most intriguing is the promise of "a unique story blending iconic scenes from the film with original scenarios and multiple endings."

Terminator 2D: No Fate is released on Epic Games Store and. Steam on September 5th, 2025. In the meantime, this short 'making of' featurette gives a glimpse at even more of the levels and set-pieces to expect. As well as showing a team that's clearly stoked to be working on this. Come release, I'll be back to see if this really is as good as it looks.

Suicide Squad Bombed So Bad, It Basically Took Wonder Woman and Monolith Down with It

Last year's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was a flop of colossal proportions for publisher Warner Bros. Interactive — but we're only just now seeing the extent of the damage that its significant commercial shortcomings caused.

Earlier this week. News broke that Warner Bros. had effectively taken a sledgehammer to its gaming division. The enterprise shut down multiple studios and cancelled several projects, but most of the headlines were about the demise of the long-awaited PS5 Wonder Woman game, and. Its developer Monolith (of Middle-earth: Shadow of War fame).

Here's the thing that many are overlooking, though: without Warner Bros. haemorrhaging money through titles like Suicide Squad and MultiVersus — which was not long ago confirmed to be going offline in May — over the last fiscal year or so, these blanket layoffs and cancellations may not have been so drastic.

So, although. Wonder Woman was having to endure a rough development cycle, it was, to some degree, another victim of Warner Bros.' past failures.

"Last year Suicide Squad was a humungous flop — they wrote off $200 million because of that. MultiVersus and Quidditch Champions, also both flops, [they] wrote off another $100 million because of that," Jason Schreier explains on the latest Kinda Funny podcast (as per GamesRadar).

Indeed. There's a direct correlation here; no firm — even one as huge as Warner Bros. — is going to eat those kinds of losses and not find ways to try and lessen the financial blow.

But of course, as outsiders looking in. It's hard not see this entire saga as gross mismanagement on the publisher's part.

Furthermore, there's now been another sick trick added to the combo of stuff which seems to be hinting at a new gaming-related Tony Hawk thing being in the works. ...
