Image via Netflix The discourse surrounding gender-swapped roles in remakes, reboots, and even original projects is one that generates plenty of unsavory opinions, with Gal Gadot’s incoming Netflix blockbuster Heart of Stone certainly painting the picture of a project that could ruffle the feathers of the internet’s darkest corners. It wasn’t too long ago that director Tom Harper effectively labelled the James Bonds, Jason Bournes, and Ethan Hunts of the world as outdated and irrelevant relics, while star and…

There are lots of literal grey areas in the Australian film-maker Amiel Courtin-Wilson’s very compelling and heart-rending documentary about the final week of Bob Rosenzweig, a 65-year-old Jewish man living in Washington who has Parkinson’s disease and decides to end his life through assisted dying. From the opening shot Courtin-Wilson draws a stony overcast aesthetic, beginning with an ambiguous image of what seems to resemble a foggy, ashen skyline before a vague human outline emerges. Later there are shots of misty…

Previewing the next up in that particular lineage, Porsche has presented the Mission X, an automotive marvel crafted with the highest levels of Porsche's motorsport and road engineering know-how.

Modern electric vehicles aren't very practical for endurance races due to the long charging times, but Toyota may have an alternative. Its Gazoo Racing unit has unveiled a GR H2 Racing Concept that's designed to compete in the Le Mans 24 Hours race's new hydrogen car category. The automaker isn't divulging specs, but the appeal is clear: this is an emissions-free car that can spend more time racing and less time topping up. Toyota doesn't say if or when a race-ready GR H2 will hit the track. The machine is built for…

It’s like a black hole but portable and with a cooler name Hello Games has announced the next free continuation of No Man’s Sky, and it’s called Singularity. It should be dropping for all platforms sometime today. This is a pretty small one, I suppose. Compared to the Interceptor update, I mean. You can now play as a robot, which is pretty cool, and this is heavily featured in the trailer. I’d rather play as a fox. Like, a fox-person. Some sort of fox that travels the stars. A star fox, if you will. The main feature of…

It’s gruelling for both car and drivers, but this makes it one of the highlights of the calendar for motorsports fans. 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the event, making it a particularly special one. Hundreds of thousands of people travel to Circuit de la Sarthe in France, but for many more, watching online or on TV is the only way to see the spectacle. And that’s why you’re here, of course. So here’s…

The studio says the game will be available with all Apple silicon Macs and Intel-based Macs with a Core i5 processor. In addition, No Man’s Sky is already available on PC, VR, and…
