Warner Bros. has announced their plans to gift us with another live-action Mortal Kombat web series that’s being developed by their new Blue Ribbon Content label to coincide with the arrival of Mortal Kombat X next year. All we know about this new series so far is it will star “some of the franchise’s most iconic characters as well as a new generation of fighters.” Details are scarce, but I imagine it’ll be gritty, gory and almost definitely a good time.

It sounds like it will be a standalone series, rather than a follow-up to Mortal Kombat: Legacy, which premiered in 2011.

Mortal Kombat X is slated to release on April 24, 2015 for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

The classic murder-mystery game Clue is headed back to screens both big and small, with Variety reporting this week that Sony is planning potential film and television adaptations.

Variety reports, “Hasbro Entertainment has closed a deal with Sony‘s TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for the film and TV rights for the beloved board game.”

“Sony is the perfect partner to adapt a property as culturally impactful and mystery-defining as ‘Clue,’” said Hasbro’s Zev Foreman and Gabriel Marano. “Nicole Brown, Katherine Pope, and their teams are tremendous creative collaborators and ideal partners to help us figure out after 75 years if it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.”

Clue was created way back in 1943 by Anthony E. Pratt, and the board game was of course notably turned into a feature film starring Tim Curry in 1985 and a mini-series in 2011.

Ryan Reynolds had more recently been attached to star in a remake for 20th Century Studios, while Fox Entertainment had been developing an animated series a few years back.
