‘Mortal Kombat’-Era Johnny Cage Figure Coming From Storm Collectibles

So, while we wait for more reveals of fighters to be included in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 11, Storm Collectibles are hard at work with another figure for those of you clambering for another one of these beauties. On the company’s Instagram, they’ve revealed a work-in-progress sculpt for everyone’s favourite Hollywood douchebag martial artist actor in Johnny Cage!

Those of you with keen eyes can see that the likeness of this figure is in fact based on the original digitized actor for Johnny Cage, Daniel Pesina, who played Cage in the original Mortal Kombat, and Mortal Kombat 2. In fact, Pesina confirmed on his Facebook page that the figure will indeed be based on his likeness.

Not bad for a guy who left Midway over royalties, and jumped ship to appear in an ad as Johnny Cage for the Incredible Technologies-developed MK clone BloodStorm (which sucked, by the way).

Pesina’s departure also meant that Cage and the ninja characters (Reptile, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, etc.) wouldn’t initially appear in Mortal Kombat 3 until Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and MK Trilogy, where they were played by different actors. Trivia!

Mortal Kombat 11 is due out April 23, 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
