American McGee Has Stepped up Work on ‘Alice 3’
American McGee’s Alice fans have had a hard lot. Despite their demand for a sequel, EA hasn’t really considered completing the trilogy after 2011’s Alice: Madness Returns. American McGee has talked over the years of making a third game, and in 2017, he was working sporadically on a sequel entitled Alice: Asylum. And now, on his blog, McGee states that he intends to step up work in earnest.
“American is hard at work on design, art, and story for the next chapter in Alice’s adventures,” states the post. “Alice: Asylum will present the story before American McGee’s Alice, with young Alice fighting through the trauma of losing her family.” McGee has also mused on Facebook about opening a new development studio in Thailand to work on the game.
Of course, this is still all up to EA to make the final call regarding the game. To that end, McGee says that you, the fans, can do one of four things to bend EA’s ear: Sign a mailing list to show your support for the game to EA, follow American on his social media accounts (for suggestions and direct feedback), support him on the game’s Patreon page where he posts concept art and design ideas for the game, and finally you can purchase items such as t-shirts and art prints from his online shop.
Again, no guarantees (given that it’s EA, after all), but the idea of returning to the world of Alice once again certainly deserves attention.
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.
