A user proposed a fascinating idea to add to the stratagems of the title, this user described a Space Marine-like armor that has a cooldown and a secondary weapon. The head of Arrowhead Game Studios mentioned that this was on the table.
Warhammer 40K in Helldivers 2 Just Makes Sense A Space Marine-like armor from Warhammer 40K will be a good addition to Helldivers 2.

Veteran international film executive Martin Moszkowicz will step down as chairman of the executive board of German mini-major Constantin Film after his current contract expires early next year. Deputy chairman Oliver Berben will take over the role.
Moszkowicz, who has overseen the production of the Resident Evil and Mortal Instruments franchises at Constantin will stay on as a producer with the Munich-based outfit after his contract as chairman runs out on Feb. 29, 2024. Moszkowicz has been part of Constantin’s management since 1990 and took over as chairman in 2014.
One of the most important figures in the European film scene, Moszkowicz has helped build up the company into a local giant — with such blockbuster German franchises as the Fack Ju Goethe trilogy of high school comedies — and a major international player, producing English-language titles including video game adaptation Monster Hunter, the family feature Black Beauty and the Mads Mikkelsen action thriller Polar.

There’s Violent Mads.. And Quiet Mads..
And now there’s Very Quiet Mads.
In his fifth Danish Oscar entry, “The Promised Land,” a Nordic pioneer Western from Nicolaj Arcel (Mikkelsen’s director from a decade ago on the nominated “A Royal Affair”), Mikkelsen delivers an almost silent, stoic, physical performance as captain-turned-potato-farmer Ludvig von Kahlen as he tries to tame the 18th-century Danish heath.
As the bastard son of a nobleman and his maid, making something of a piece of turf is the only way for the veteran to move up into the upper class. “He so desperately wants to become part of something that he hates, nobility,” Mikkelsen told IndieWire during a recent interview in Los Angeles. “They don’t deserve it. They haven’t worked for anything. He decides that he wants to be part of it.”
Back then people didn’t talk about their feelings. “His range of emotions is limited,...

When you think of Mads Mikkelsen, your brain probably locks onto the captivating villains he's played on screen, be it Le Chiffre from "Casino Royale," Hannibal Lecter in "Hannibal," or even Jürgen Voller in "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny." What you may not think about is Mikkelsen the dancer.
It's true: after studying at the world-famous ballet academy in Gothenburg, Sweden (aka. the Balettakademien), the Danish actor spent a decade as a professional dancer before getting into acting. He would go on to put his ballet skills to incredible use in the opening fight in "Hannibal" season 2, as well as the memorable drunken dance scene that went viral from director Thomas Vinterberg's Danish dramedy "Another Round." With his physical grace and screen charisma, it was probably inevitable somebody would have the idea to cast Mikkelsen as the protagonist in a post-"John Wick" assassin thriller (of which...

Mumbai, May 10 (Ians) Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman said he has “been there” as he on Wednesday shared an old video of musician Sting getting uncomfortable while listening to Jose Feliciano’s version of ‘Every Breath You Take’ at 2017 while attending the Polar Music Prize in 2017.
In the throwback clip, Sting was seen being a witness to his own iconic number ‘Every Breath You Take’, sung by Puerto Rican-born guitarist, but he seemed unimpressed.
On captioning the video, Rahman tweeted, “I’ve been there.”
Rahman, too, has been a witness to unimpressive remakes of his songs such as ‘Humma Humma’ by Badshah, ‘Urvasi Urvasi’ and ‘Masakali 2.0’.
He is a winner of six National Film Awards, two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe Award.
In 2010, the Indian government conferred him with the Padma Bhushan, the nation’s third-highest civilian award.

Notorious punk rocker Gg Allin is getting the biopic treatment.
Jonas Åkerlund, the music video director behind heavy metal thriller Lords of Chaos, will helm the feature, titled Gg Allin: Live. Fast. Die., which will be produced by Don Murphy and Susan Monford of Angry Films and Mvd Entertainment Group.
The producers have acquired Allin’s life and music rights, and have a script written by Richard Schenkman.
Allin was a cult and fringe figure in the 1980s punk scene that became notorious for his outrageous acts on stage, notably defecating on stage and sometimes hurling it at his audience. His shows frequently ended in chaos and violence and he found himself frequently arrested and imprisoned. Allin fell headlong into booze and drugs while putting out albums — punk, spoken word, and country — mostly on cassette in the 80s.

Mads Mikkelsen has earned quite a name for himself playing villains on both the big and small screens, from the creepy blood-weeping Le Chiffre in "Casino Royale" to charismatic cannibal epicurean Hannibal Lecter on NBC's "Hannibal." Now he's set to play a hero (sort of) in Jonas Åkerlund's "The Black Kaiser," a new film based on the "Polar" graphic novels by Victor Santos. Åkerlund and Mikkelsen previously took on the character and world for the Netflix film "Polar" in 2019, though it was not exactly beloved by critics. I thought "Polar" was a messy exploitation action thriller that had some truly fun moments, and am actually kind of excited...

The latest official trailer for the Netflix crime biographical drama "Clark" is here, and let me tell you one thing about this trailer — it is chaotic. Directed by Jonas Åkerlund, "Clark" chronicles the life of notorious Swedish gangster/bank robber Clark Olofsson, who single-handedly might have been the originator of Stockholm Syndrome. While I am not quite sure how to feel about all that, Bill Skarsgård, who plays the "charismatic criminal," seems to be having a ton of fun portraying the character's layered origin story.
Check out the madness that "Clark" seems to be by checking out the trailer below.

"This f&!*ing society has never given me an honest chance!" Netflix has revealed the full-length trailer for the crime comedy series Clark, made by Swedish filmmaker Jonas Åkerlund. Clark tells the story of the Swedish criminal who gave rise to the idea of "The Stockholm Syndrome" during a failed bank robbery in Stockholm in the 70s. Clark Olofsson has been referred to as a "celebrity gangster", and over his many decades has managed to escape prisons and commit robberies all over Europe. Åkerlund explains: "Clark is the story about the most politically incorrect man, who lived the most politically incorrect life. These are the kinds of stories I always look for. It’s an ultra-violent, witty, emotional, real and surreal biography to put a face to the name 'Stockholm Syndrome', but it isn’t just about the Norrmalmstorg Robbery.

On Disney+’s list of new releases this month, you won’t find any major Pixar, Star Wars, or Marvel (save for the continuing episodes of the aforementioned Moon Knight) releases. Instead, you’ll find something perhaps more valuable: Bears.
Earth Day falls on April 22 this year and Disney+ is celebrating with four major nature documentaries. Polar Bear is narrated by Catherine Keener and follows a family of nature’s most adorable killing machines. Bear Witness is a companion piece that tells the story of the former documentary’s making.

Photo: ‘Jolt’/Amazon Studios Very few films can claim to have either reinvented or reinvigorated their very own genre. ‘The Blair Witch Project’ (1999) unleashed a torrid stream of look-alike low-budget found-footage horror, ‘Jaws’ (1975) perfected the summer blockbuster to a science, and ‘John Wick’ (2014) reimagined the brutal revenge thriller for an entirely new generation.
