Info on ‘MediEvil’ Remaster Coming “in The Next Week or Two”
Sony announced late last year that they were in the process of bringing back MediEvil in a remastered edition, similar fashion to Spyro The Dragon. But despite the series turning 20 years old this year, we haven’t heard anything about the remastering.
According to the latest PlayStation Blogcast, that will change within a couple of weeks. At around the 34 minute mark of the podcast, PlayStation social media director Sid Shuman states that “in the next week or two,” Sony will have a little something for fans.
“I have it on excellent authority that one [Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios chairman] Shawn Layden is going to be stopping back on the show in the next week or two,” says Shuman. “He’s very excited to give everybody a big update on MediEvil.”
What that update entails is anyone’s guess, but a trailer or release date would certainly be welcome! As Sir Daniel Fortesque said in the teaser trailer last year, “more details soon”.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
