'Altered Beast' and 'Streets of Rage' coming to film and TV
Sonic the Hedgehog has apparently opened the floodgates on Sega adaptations. Sega Group's production arm is teaming with Fear the Walking Dead producer Circle of Confusion on adaptations of '80s and '90s classics Altered Beast and Streets of Rage, according to Variety. Beat 'em up game Streets of Rage pits your rogue cop against big city crime boss Mr. X, while sidescroller Beast features a resurrected Greek Warrior that transforms into powerful werecritters after defeating a suite of villains.
What's on your HDTV: 'Fear the Walking Dead', 'Punk'd' and 'Zombi'
This week a spinoff for AMC's popular The Walking Dead series is premiering, along with the very familiar Zombi game for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Previously seen on the Wii U as Zombi U, it's (appropriately) making a return on new platforms, with some of the features developed for the Wii U's tablet now redesigned for conventional controllers. Keeping with the theme, our final blast from the past is Punk'd, returning for a 10th season, but now on BET featuring social media stars DeStorm Power and King Bach instead of Ashton Kucher. Need one more? Take a look at Starz on Saturday where Sir Patrick Stewart is headlining a new series Blunt Talk -- or just watch the first two episodes right now. Look after the break to check out each day's highlights, including trailers and let us know what you think (or what we missed).
Hulu's the exclusive online home of 'Seinfeld' and 'Fear the Walking Dead'
It may be a fraction of Netflix's size, but Hulu is no small fry when it comes to the online video business. At an advertising conference in New York, the company has revealed that it has won the exclusive streaming rights to Seinfeld. It's a big deal for the outfit, since Sony had reportedly offered the series to every online media company, including Netflix, but all had balked at a reported cost of between $700,000 and $1 million per episode. If those figures are close to being true, and Hulu is staying tight-lipped, then the site will have paid out anything between $130 and $180 million just for the show about nothing.
