Child’s Play
Mark Hamill is going to voice Chucky in the Orion Pictures reboot of the movies. NOT to be confused with the TV series that will continue the antics of the killer trapped in the body of a doll that is the continuation of the original movie series. IP rights are so sticky…

Gaming

Valve Index
Valve’s website is teasing a new VR headset. This time, unlike the Vive, it seems they are going on their own without HTC. No specs have been given just yet, but this will be the first time we see a generation flip for VR.

George R R Martin
The game of thrones scribe is reportedly working with Software, the developer that brought us the Dark Souls franchise and Seikro: Shadows Die Twice. Sounds like Martin’s medieval fair. A familiar style with a twist. There are reportedly going to be a series of Kingdoms which grant you specialized abilities once you have conquered them individually.
