Most Star Wars fans are either celebrating (for some weird reason) or mourning the death of The Acolyte at Disney Plus earlier this month. Of course, this has prompted even more conversations about the show from the people who made it and those in the know, and now we’ve learned that Keanu Reeves could’ve been part of it.We must take this shocking reveal with a grain of salt, as it’s nothing but a rumor as of now (and it’s unlikely we’ll get a confirmation now that the show is cancelled), but Jeff Sneider, a renowned Hollywood insider, is rarely too far off the mark when it comes to Star Wars, so chances are conversations between Reeves and Lucasfilm did happen at some point.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings The news ca…

How are these things connected? Who could possibly say, but we’re absolutely 100% certain it’ll be fine. To see this content please enable target…

It turns out that legendary director Steven Spielberg is quite the gamer, and in particular loves Call of Duty.There’s obviously been several games based off of Spielberg’s works over his many years of filmmaking, so there’s always been a link between the two, but I bet like me you didn’t know that the director likes to play games too. His son, Max Spielberg, recently made an appearance on MinnMax to talk about his upcoming game at FuzzyBot, Lynked: Banner of the Spark (as spotted by Kotaku). Obviously his father came up, because when your name is Spielberg and your dad is Spielberg, people are going to talk about Spielberg. Max has actually been in the industry for a while, having worked on titles like Assassin’s Creed Unity and Battlefield 1, and he shared that it was his dad’s love of g…
