Launch Trailer, New Screenshots Released For ‘Shadow of the Tomb Raider’
With Shadow of the Tomb Raider shipping out this Friday (that’s September 14th, in case you’re wondering), Square Enix has released the launch trailer for the game, which will hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Square Enix have also released a set of new screenshots for you to oogle over.
In this latest entry for the franchise, Shadow is set two months after the events of Rise of the Tomb Raider. Lara ventures into South America to the legendary city of Paititi looking for a Mayan relic, which has a connection to her late father. Along the way, she has to deal with the paramilitary organization Trinity, which also seeks the relic. During the course of her journey, Lara sets off a Mayan apocalypse, leaving her to have to save the world.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
