Paper Trail Holds Up Quantum Leap Reboot

Scott Bakula has revealed that an issue over ownership rights is likely holding up a relaunch of sci-fi TV series ‘Quantum Leap’.

Halpern and Schumacker will also co-exec produce the Warner Bros. TV-produced project, which has received a script commitment. Nice to…

Square Enix Predicts The Death Of Console Gaming

Square Enix boss Yoichi Wada has revealed that his company expect console gaming to die within the next ten years. Talking to MCV, the boss of the RPG giant had this to say… “In ten years’ time a lot of what we call ‘console games’ won’t exist,” And the reason for this? “Somewhere around 2005 the console manufacturers’ strategy shifted.

Psychoville To Return Next Year

The excellent ‘Psychoville’, from the makers of The League of Gentleman, will be returning to our TV screens next year!

The last time we saw the show, there was a rather big explosion and what I assumed was death on a large scale, so I assume there will be some survivors after the Ravenhill explosion.
