Netflix为其浴血黑帮续集系列更换主演

(SeaPRwire) -   在四年的沉寂之后,《浴血黑帮》(Peaky Blinders)强势回归,表现更胜以往。在《浴血黑帮:永生之人》(Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man)中,(现已荣获奥斯卡奖的)希里安·墨菲(Cillian Murphy)最后一次饰演前黑帮老大汤米·谢尔比(Tommy Shelby)。他扮演的是一个沉浸在悲痛中的男人,在一切太迟之前,正拼命地书写自己的人生故事。但当他的儿子杜克·谢尔比(Duke Shelby,巴里·基奥根 Barry Keoghan 饰)与纳粹同情者达成交易以破坏经济时,汤米不得不再次戴上那顶报童帽。《永生之人》或许已经为汤米的故事画上了句号,但杜克的故事才刚刚开始。他将成为 Netflix 去年年底宣布的一部全新续集剧集的主角,但这家流媒体平台刚刚宣布了一个重大变化:将由一名新演员饰演杜克本人。在《浴血黑帮》续集剧集中,杰米·贝尔饰演的杜克·谢尔比将报童帽换成了 20 世纪 50 年代的软呢帽。 | NetflixNetflix 最近发布了杰米·贝尔(Jamie Bell)在尚未命名的《浴血黑帮》续集剧集中饰演杜克·谢尔比的首张剧照。贝尔因出演 2000 年电影《舞动人生》(Billy Elliot)中的主角以及 2015 年备受诟病的电影《神奇四侠》(Fantastic Four)中的本·格里姆(Ben Grimm)而闻名,他将在剧中饰演 1950 年(即二战后的几年)的杜克。“重建伯明翰的竞赛演变成了一场具有神话色彩的残酷争夺,”Netflix 的公告中写道。“这是一座充满前所未有的机遇与危险的城市。处于其血腥核心的是杜克·谢尔比(杰米·贝尔饰):他变得更年长、更睿智、更有野心,也无疑更加危险。”《永生之人》与这部续集剧集之间的时间跨度,不仅仅是为了平稳过渡基奥根(他繁忙的档期可能无法保证出演整部电视剧)与贝尔之间的角色交替。它还巧妙地跳过了一段对于此类剧集来说可能并非最有趣的时期。虽然《永生之人》通过以集中营场景开场,正视了那段无法回避的历史,但这部续集剧集将直接跳到重建时期。贝尔从巴里·基奥根手中接过了杜克·谢尔比这一角色,后者曾在《浴血黑帮:永生之人》中饰演该角。 | NetflixNetflix 对这部剧集寄予厚望,目前已批准制作两季,每季六集。在配角阵容上,该剧也毫不含糊:加入演员阵容的还有《怪奇物语》(Stranger Things)的查理·希顿(Charlie Heaton)、《唐顿庄园》(Downton Abbey)的杰西卡·布朗·芬德利(Jessica Brown Findlay)以及《惊奇队长》(Captain Marvel)的拉什纳·林奇(Lashana Lynch)。因此,这确实是名副其实的《浴血黑帮:下一代》,尽管目前还没有关于原剧中的任何角色是否会延续到本剧的消息。这部剧集可能有新的剧名、新的主演和新的时代背景,但观众仍可期待看到原汁原味的《浴血黑帮》动作戏。由于该剧出自《浴血黑帮》主创斯蒂文·奈特(Steven Knight)之手,这并非重启之作,而是一场向新时代的演进——无论是在剧集世界观内,还是在流媒体平台上。《浴血黑帮》和《浴血黑帮:永生之人》现已在 Netflix 上线。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

伊朗及其代理民兵威胁黎巴嫩美国大学,美方敦促公民立即撤离

(SeaPRwire) -   美国官员表示,伊朗及其代理恐怖主义民兵已对黎巴嫩的大学发出针对性威胁,美国国务院已警告美国人趁商业航班仍可用时立即离开。官员们称,伊朗已"特别威胁"了中东各地的美国大学。美国驻贝鲁特大使馆将黎巴嫩的安全局势描述为"动荡且不可预测"。"空袭、无人机和火箭弹袭击在全国各地发生,尤其是在南部、贝卡谷地以及贝鲁特的部分地区,"官员们在安全警报中写道。美国国务院敦促美国人离开中东,因空域关闭扰乱旅行美国驻贝鲁特大使馆补充说,它强烈鼓励在黎巴嫩南部、靠近叙利亚边境地区、难民营以及贝鲁特南部郊区——包括Dahiyeh——的美国公民立即离开这些区域。根据美国国务院的说法,"我们建议选择不离开黎巴嫩的美国公民为紧急情况制定应急计划,并做好原地避难的准备,以防局势进一步恶化。"目前由Middle East Airlines提供从贝鲁特拉菲克·哈里里机场起飞的商业航班。官员们表示,美国人应认真考虑搭乘其中一班航班离开,"如果他们相信这样做是安全的。"美国驻贝鲁特大使馆正在为美国公民提供有限的紧急护照服务。所有常规领事服务,包括签证业务,均已暂停,直至另行通知。官员们表示,计划前往黎巴嫩的人应取消行程。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

在特朗普施压和能源危机背景下,古巴释放2000名囚犯

(SeaPRwire) -   古巴政府释放了2000多名囚犯,此时该岛正面临与美国制裁相关的日益加剧的经济压力以及不断恶化的燃料短缺问题。古巴驻华盛顿大使馆表示,当局根据该国宪法条款赦免了2010名囚犯,理由包括良好表现、已服刑时间和健康状况等因素。“这一人道主义和主权举措是基于对囚犯所犯罪行性质、其在狱中的良好表现以及已服相当一部分刑期等事实的仔细分析,”大使馆在X上发布的一份声明中表示。官员表示,被释放者包括年轻人、女性、老年人,以及外国公民和居住在国外但在该岛被监禁的古巴公民。政府表示,排除了被判犯有严重罪行的囚犯,包括谋杀、性侵犯、暴力抢劫、毒品犯罪和腐蚀未成年人,以及惯犯。这一举措是今年第二次释放囚犯,且正值圣周期间,古巴官员称圣周是此类行动的惯例时期。此次释放发生在古巴应对日益加深的经济和能源危机之际,这场危机部分由特朗普政府新一轮施压行动推动,该行动旨在切断该岛获取外国石油的渠道。这些限制措施导致了全国范围内广泛的燃料短缺、停电和日益加剧的动荡。观看:古巴停电引发抗议,特朗普暗示美国干预唐纳德·特朗普总统威胁要对任何向古巴运送石油的国家征收关税,并向墨西哥等国施压要求停止运输,这是挤压该岛能源供应的更广泛努力的一部分。经过数月的严重短缺后,美国本周早些时候还允许一艘油轮向古巴运送燃料,白宫将此举描述为人道主义例外,而非政策转变。特朗普还升级了他的言论,最近在讨论美国海外行动时表示“下一个是古巴”,不过他后来试图淡化这一言论。日益加深的危机也在全岛引发了抗议和冲突。自1959年菲德尔·卡斯特罗革命以来,古巴一直处于共产主义统治之下,现在由2018年接替劳尔·卡斯特罗的米格尔·迪亚斯-卡内尔总统领导。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

伊朗守卫队招募12岁儿童投入战争前线

(SeaPRwire) -   根据Human Rights Watch和Amnesty International的最新报告,伊朗正在加大招募年仅12岁的儿童,让他们担任与伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)相关的军事职务。这些报告突显了伊朗战争努力内部日益增大的压力。随着美国和以色列空袭的加剧,人权组织和分析人士表示,招募儿童表明伊朗面临人力短缺,并越来越依赖准军事力量来维持国内阵线。这也加剧了冲突的人员成本,使未成年人直接面临危险,同时使伊朗面临潜在的战罪责任。Human Rights Watch表示,伊斯兰革命卫队发起了一项名为"伊朗国土保卫战士"的运动,将最低招募年龄降至12岁,并鼓励未成年人在清真寺和Basij(伊斯兰革命卫队下属的志愿准军事部队)报名。这些职责超出了支援任务的范围,包括"作战巡逻"、驻守检查站和情报活动,随着全国各地的战斗加剧,将儿童直接置于危险之中。Amnesty International表示,招募和部署15岁以下儿童"构成战争罪",并以其核实的视觉证据和目击者证词支持其调查结果。该组织分析了自上周六以来发布的16张照片和视频,显示儿童携带武器(包括AK系列步枪),并在德黑兰、马什哈德和克尔曼沙赫等伊朗城市的检查站、巡逻期间以及国家组织的集会上,与伊斯兰革命卫队和Basij部队一起部署。Amnesty还记录了致命的后果。该组织称,周日,11岁的Alireza Jafari在伊朗的一个检查站陪同其Basij成员父亲时遇害。当局称他在一次以色列无人机袭击后"在执行任务时"身亡。据Amnesty称,这名男孩的母亲告诉伊朗报纸Hamshahri,她的丈夫报告说检查站人手不足,于是带上了他们的两个儿子。她说,丈夫告诉儿子"必须为未来的日子做好准备",并补充说,年仅15、16岁的儿童参与检查站执勤的情况很常见。Amnesty审查的目击者描述称,孩子们明显难以操作武器。德黑兰的一位目击者写道:"我在我们家附近的检查站看到一个孩子……我觉得他大概15岁……他好像因为举枪费劲而喘不过气来。"伊朗卡拉杰的另一位目击者报告说看到一个孩子"拿着一把卡拉什尼科夫步枪",而拉什特的第三位目击者说有些孩子看起来"最多13岁",并警告说他们可能会"随意开火"。在Amnesty引用的一段3月30日拍摄于伊朗马什哈德的视频中,看到两名身穿Basij制服和巴拉克拉瓦头套的孩子,在一次国家组织的集会期间,携带突击步枪站在一辆行驶的车辆上,位置高于欢呼的人群。这次招募活动本身是通过官方渠道进行宣传的,包括海报上描绘了儿童与武装成人在一起,标语是"Basij与人民同在,为人民服务",并附有据称是伊朗最高领袖的引述,呼吁Basij力量保持革命的核心地位。伊朗官员为这项政策辩护,指出他们所谓的青少年中的强烈需求。伊斯兰革命卫队官员Rahim Nadali在接受伊朗国家媒体电视采访时表示,最低年龄定为12岁是因为"青少年和年轻人反复前来表示他们想参加"。Human Rights Watch的Bill Van Esveld表示:"以儿童为目标的军事招募活动,尤其是针对12岁儿童的,是没有任何借口的。"这些报告发布之际,联合国将武装冲突中招募儿童列为"严重侵权行为",国际法禁止招募15岁以下儿童,并将18岁定为参与敌对行动的标准年龄。两个组织都呼吁伊朗当局立即停止招募未成年人,并释放已经服役的未成年人。伊朗驻联合国代表团拒绝了 Digital 的置评请求。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

CFTC Targets Prediction Markets in Three States

(AsiaGameHub) -   The conflict between federal regulators and state authorities escalated on Thursday when the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) initiated a first-of-its-kind legal campaign across multiple states to prevent local officials from classifying prediction markets as unauthorized gambling ventures. Filed in federal courts in Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois, all three lawsuits contest those states' actions to prohibit event contracts, including sports-related ones, on exchanges overseen by the CFTC. In a press release detailing the moves, CFTC Chairman Michael Selig emphasized the agency's commitment to protecting its domain, stating: The CFTC will continue to protect its exclusive regulatory control over these markets and shield participants from excessive state regulation. States have previously attempted to enforce conflicting and contradictory rules on market participants, but Congress explicitly rejected such a disjointed system of state oversight because it led to weaker consumer safeguards and greater potential for fraud and manipulation. The lawsuits contend that the Commodity Exchange Act grants the CFTC sole authority over event contracts traded on federally supervised designated contract markets. They allege Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois are illegally attempting to apply gambling regulations to products the agency asserts are covered by federal commodities law. Selig also used X to clarify the agency's position, noting the suits were launched to "reassert our statutory authority" following state officials' imposition of "inconsistent and contrary obligations" on prediction markets registered with the CFTC. The @CFTC has clear and longstanding exclusive jurisdiction to regulate prediction markets. But recently, state regulators have tried to impose inconsistent and contrary obligations on CFTC-registered prediction markets. In response, the CFTC and @TheJusticeDept today filed three…— Mike Selig (@ChairmanSelig) April 2, 2026 The CFTC's move to sue the states was not unexpected. In an X video from February, Selig indicated the agency would adopt a more forceful posture in the prediction market dispute, declaring: To anyone looking to contest the Commission's authority regarding these contracts, I want to be unambiguous: we'll see you in court. Arizona Case Centers on Criminal Charges Arizona has pursued the most aggressive stance against prediction markets, bringing criminal charges against Kalshi in March. In its new federal complaint, the CFTC cites Arizona's criminal prosecution of Kalshi as proof of the state's extensive efforts to control prediction markets.The complaint states Arizona first issued Kalshi a cease-and-desist letter in May 2025, followed by a 20-count criminal filing in March that accused the exchange of running an illicit gambling operation and placing bets on elections. The federal lawsuit alleges Arizona is seeking to "criminalize markets" that Congress placed under the CFTC's exclusive purview. It employs the details of Arizona's case against Kalshi to demonstrate the direct clash between state gambling statutes and federal derivatives oversight. The filing notes specific contentious allegations, such as wagers linked to the 2028 presidential election, the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial race, individual player performances, and the potential enactment of the SAVE Act. It argues this shows Arizona is trying to enforce state gambling law on event contracts the agency maintains are regulated by federal commodities law. Connecticut & Illinois Cases Focus on Sports Wagering Claims Connecticut and Illinois have employed a different strategy than Arizona in their attempts to control prediction markets. Rather than filing criminal charges, both states have sent cease-and-desist orders to entities regulated by the CFTC. The two states describe the activity with minor differences: Connecticut labels it "unlicensed online gambling, more specifically sports wagering," while Illinois deems it illegal "sports wagering" or "gambling" under the Illinois Sports Wagering Act, Criminal Code, and Administrative Code. However, in the new federal complaints, the CFTC asserts both states are fundamentally doing the same thing: classifying event contracts on federally regulated exchanges as gambling products that must comply with state law. The agency maintains this is precisely what the Commodity Exchange Act forbids, as it gives the CFTC exclusive control over those markets and overrides enforcement at the state level. The complaints argue that gambling enforcement varying by state would upset the nationally consistent framework Congress established for derivatives markets. The Connecticut complaint states that applying state gambling laws to federally regulated exchanges would produce the very regulatory "patchwork" Congress aimed to avoid. The Illinois filing adds that state enforcement would "undermine that uniformity, thwart Congress’s scheme, and intrude on Plaintiffs’ exclusive jurisdiction." Arizona Case Quickly Folded Into Existing Kalshi Fight The CFTC's Arizona lawsuit is already merging with a related legal fight. Sports betting and gaming attorney Daniel Wallach reported on X that U.S. District Judge Michael T. Liburdi has issued an order combining the CFTC's new suit against Arizona officials with Kalshi's ongoing case against the state. Arizona federal district judge Michael T. Liburdi enters order consolidating the CFTC's new lawsuit against @AZAGMayes and @AzGaming with the pending lawsuit filed by Kalshi. pic.twitter.com/u5ABgVIXwD— Daniel Wallach (@WALLACHLEGAL) April 3, 2026 The combined case will move forward under Kalshi's lead docket number. This means one of the CFTC's three new legal challenges is already being incorporated into the larger judicial dispute over whether states can classify federally regulated event contracts as gambling. Liburdi stated consolidation was warranted because the two cases involve a "common question of law or fact" concerning Arizona's power to regulate these markets. This step positions Arizona to be among the first jurisdictions where courts evaluate the CFTC's argument that federal law supersedes state gambling enforcement actions against prediction markets.

Kentucky Legislature Passes Landmark Gambling Overhaul Bill, Sending Legislation to Governor for Signature

(AsiaGameHub) -   Kentucky lawmakers have approved HB 904, the Wagering Consumer Protection Act, and forwarded the legislation to Gov. Andy Beshear, setting the stage for a major overhaul of the state’s sports betting, fantasy competition, and horse racing sectors.  A key change in the bill raises the minimum age for sports betting to 21 while establishing the minimum age for fantasy contests at 18.  The bill also expands the state’s regulatory framework and targets prediction markets directly. Under the legislation, an “event contract” is defined as a transaction linked to the outcome of a future event, and a “prediction market” is a platform where consumers can trade based on those outcomes.  These definitions include a restriction that bars Kentucky-licensed racetracks, fantasy operators, and their affiliates from participating in or contracting with platforms offering event contracts within the commonwealth. The measure introduces new rules for fixed-odds wagering on live horse racing, creates a licensing structure for fantasy contest providers, and strengthens responsible gaming provisions—including requiring the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming Corporation to establish a self-exclusion list for problem gamblers. The bill further solidifies Kentucky’s horse racing regulator as the state’s central gaming watchdog. It grants the corporation expanded authority over sports wagering, fantasy contests, and fixed-odds wagering, while mandating new regulations on licensing, geolocation, integrity monitoring, audits, and enforcement. Governor Beshear is expected to sign the measure into law, completing a multi-year effort to refine Kentucky’s wagering statutes. Fixed-Odds Betting, Fantasy Contests, and New Mandates Among the changes HB 904 makes to Kentucky’s gaming laws, it adds new rules for fixed-odds wagering on live horse racing. Under the bill, fixed-odds wagers placed at a licensed track will be taxed at 9.75%, while online wagers will face a 14.25% tax—with revenue directed to a new purse stabilization fund. The measure also sets a mandatory minimum bet limit of at least $1,000 per race, with the betting menu determined by the host track. For sports betting, the bill bans certain prop bets on individual athletes from Kentucky college teams when the winning outcome depends on a player failing to meet a statistical threshold or posting a negative performance. Another provision in the bill addresses child support enforcement for online gaming accounts. It requires operators to check applicants against a child support registry, deny account creation to those on the list, and suspend existing accounts if they are later flagged. Fantasy Contests, Integrity Regulations, and Additional Changes The bill revises several other parts of Kentucky’s gaming law by establishing a comprehensive licensing and compliance regime for fantasy contest operators, including geolocation requirements, criminal background checks, annual compliance reviews, anti-fraud safeguards, and self-exclusion measures. To strengthen integrity protections, the bill requires fantasy contest operators to collaborate with regulators and law enforcement on investigations involving suspicious conduct tied to underlying sporting events—including match-fixing and other illegal activity.

Russian Communist Lawmaker Advocates for Complete Ban on Online Casinos

(AsiaGameHub) -   A senior Russian Communist Party official has urged the Kremlin to dismiss the Ministry of Finance's contentious proposal to legalize online casinos. According to the Russian media outlet News.ru, Georgy Kamnev, a State Duma deputy and member of the Communist Party's Central Committee, demanded a "complete ban on online casinos in Russia." He insisted the Kremlin should block all internet-based gambling platforms "without exception." Kamnev called for banks and Roskomnadzor, Russia's internet watchdog, to "join forces" and render these platforms technically inaccessible to citizens. The lawmaker stated that commercial banks and Roskomnadzor need to intensify their efforts to block mirror sites operated by gambling platforms. He further pressed the government to eliminate "VPN bypasses" and instructed banks to halt any payments they believe are associated with online casinos.

(Image: @rlinetv/YouTube/Screenshot) Online Casino Legalization Plan Is ‘Dangerous,’ Says Lawmaker The Communist Party official described online casinos as a "dangerous sector that ruins people's lives." "Gambling addiction leads Russians to accumulate massive debts," Kamnev stated. "People take out microloans at exorbitant interest rates, mortgage their apartments, and even sell their property [to gamble]." Kamnev explained that once their funds are depleted, debt collectors "appear on the doorstep." In the worst instances, "it ends in suicide," the deputy added. He asserted that the state's duty is to protect its citizens, not to profit from their vulnerabilities. "The health of the nation and the well-being of Russian families are more important than boosting dubious tax revenues," he said. Tax Bookmakers More, Urges Politician The ministry argues that it requires new sources of tax revenue. It also claims that its attempts to close online casinos are mostly ineffective, as operators utilize a multitude of mirror and proxy sites to circumvent blocking measures. Finance officials state that imposing a tax of 30% on online casino operators' annual profits, after deducting winnings payouts, would generate billions of dollars annually for Moscow. However, legislators remain doubtful. Some have proposed different methods to tax the gambling industry without permitting online casinos. One such lawmaker is Sergei Mironov, the head of the A Just Russia political faction. In January, Mironov said the Russian government should raise profit taxes on bookmakers and legal land-based casinos to 50% rather than legalize online casinos. "We could also double tax rates on gaming tables, slot machines, and more. This will bring money into the state budget and curb the fast-growing profits of gambling establishments," Mironov stated. The A Just Russia leader informed the same media outlet that the nation already has "plenty of land-based gambling establishments." "There is no need to expand this sector any further," he concluded. Police Issue Warning Gambling industry representatives express confidence that legislators could approve the ministry's legislative proposals before the month's end. Experts and police officials report that betting addiction is increasing in Russia. Last month, police in Luzino, a village in the Omsk Oblast, charged a man with stealing his friend's phone. The suspect allegedly used the device to take money, which he then squandered on an illegal casino app. This article is provided by a third-party.

地下城卡尔现象级RPG系列或将登陆电视剧

Ondřej Hrdina(SeaPRwire) -   由作者马特·丁尼曼创作(最初也是自费出版)的《地牢爬行者卡尔》系列,现已确认其电视剧改编版正在Peacock平台开发中。这部新剧将由克里斯·约斯特执笔,他是一位漫画及影视编剧,曾参与《曼达洛人》和《雷神3:诸神黄昏》等项目,并由约斯特、塞思·麦克法兰以及丁尼曼本人共同担任执行制片。麦克法兰的制作公司Fuzzy Door曾负责《泰迪熊》和《太空部队》等诙谐喜剧。乍看之下,这对于一个如此强调指涉性幽默和元文本解构的系列来说,似乎是个不错的搭配。但这里真正有趣的是,基于《地牢爬行者卡尔》的剧集,其成功不仅在于一部受欢迎的奇幻系列被搬上电视,更标志着整个一类RPG风格跳入了主流视野。自桌面游戏早期以来,RPG一直是一种备受青睐的游戏类型,因为它能让你完全沉浸在一个可以从零开始塑造的角色中。从《龙与地下城》和《克苏鲁的呼唤》这类早期的实体体验到《上古卷轴》和《博德之门》等虚拟游戏取得的巨大成功,化身为另一个人,通过不同的视角在宏大冒险中与新世界互动,这一想法本身就具有一种内在的吸引力。在传统RPG受欢迎的基础上,一种融合了该类型机制条件与阅读行为的新型虚构体验已经出现:LitRPG(游戏化奇幻小说)。与那种赋予读者类似RPG控制权、但故事世界在叙事中仍属“真实”的“选择你自己的冒险”书籍不同,LitRPG将读者和核心角色一同传送进一个他们必须推进的真实RPG中(很像“异世界”子类型),并完全聚焦于升级和游戏内属性(如智力、力量、魅力)。十多年来,这一类型的受欢迎程度和作品数量一直在上升,而《地牢爬行者卡尔》是目前这一子类型中最主流化的作品。《地牢爬行者卡尔》系列无疑已成为新兴LitRPG类型中最突出的例子。| Ace Books原著小说共有七部,故事发生在一个由地球毁灭后留下的资源和碎片构成的18层“世界地牢”中。卡尔,一名前美国海岸警卫队队员,被Borant Corporation强迫进入地牢(与他前女友的猫“甜甜圈”以及其他少数人类幸存者一起)。这家外星企业集团因开采和消耗地球资源而导致了地球的毁灭。Borant Corporation将幸存者在地牢中的挣扎作为一档名为“地牢爬行者世界”的星际游戏秀进行直播,“爬行者”们必须与敌人和头目战斗,获取经验,并偶尔从家中观众给予的“战利品箱”中获得新装备,同时努力到达地牢的最后一层。“死亡游戏”故事(围绕角色玩简单“游戏”却发现致命后果的叙事)并不新鲜,但在后《饥饿游戏》、后《准备好了没》的背景下,现在似乎是让《地牢爬行者卡尔》面世的最佳时机。其核心是一个关于世界末日被游戏化并转变为娱乐的故事,这是许多死亡游戏类型作品的共同点,也是一种与我们当前政治时刻惊人地产生共鸣的情绪。作者马特·丁尼曼 | Phillip Faraone/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images此外,电子游戏改编作品如今比以往任何时候都更受欢迎,近期就有《超级马力欧兄弟大电影》和《辐射》电视剧等巨大成功——谁能说这种成功不能延续到一部关于电子游戏的电视剧上呢?尤其是一部以如此令人困惑的幽默和惊人的存在主义重量来审视RPG愿望满足的作品。鉴于LitRPG是出版界一个相当近期的趋势,《地牢爬行者卡尔》的改编会是什么样子将非常有趣——这将是一部试图复制书籍感觉的电视剧,而那本书本身又在试图复制玩RPG的感觉。这已经是一个令人兴奋的概念了,但如果处理得当,它很容易成为电视上最独特的科幻剧集之一。《地牢爬行者卡尔》系列目前尚未公布上映日期。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

你没看过的最佳超自然恐怖片,正是粉丝此刻急需的Buffy精神续作

Dark Star Pictures(SeaPRwire) -   上个月有消息曝出,赵婷计划重启的《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》项目不会在Hulu推进,伤透了一众渴望重回桑尼戴尔的粉丝的心。但Scoobies们无需哀悼:受青年文学影响的超自然恐怖爱情精神,在《The Serpent’s Skin》中得到了传承。澳大利亚编剧兼导演Alice Maio Mackay今年仅21岁,这已经是她的第六部长片。她主打自制电影,取用大众熟悉的类型片框架,再通过自身经历,以及身边酷儿群体的经历进行重新诠释。Mackay的作品和创作者本人一同成长,逐渐跳出夸张俗套的风格,转向更真挚动人的表达。《The Serpent’s Skin》就是这个转型转折点。 从视觉特效和化妆依然能看出这是一部低成本制作,但它带着讨喜的复古感,很容易让人想起千禧年初的超自然青少年美剧——比如《圣女魔咒》,当然还有《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》。本片剧情独立完整,但保持了电视剧的单元剧节奏:先介绍主角、建立人物关系,在影片中段才引出超自然威胁——本片中的威胁是一个受诅咒的纹身,它把片中的帅小伙变成了蛇形魅妖。 就连超自然化妆都和《巴菲》风格相似。| Dark Star Pictures不过说实在的,这个超自然威胁更像是支线剧情。《The Serpent’s Skin》的核心是Anna(Alexandra McVicker饰)和Gen(Avalon Fast饰)的爱情:Anna是一位性格温柔的年轻跨性别女性,刚逃离压抑压抑的小镇,来投奔自己的姐姐(Charlotte Chimes饰);Gen是一名纹身师兼女巫,走遍世界只为寻找她在梦中见到的女人。Anna就是那个命中注定的人,二人对彼此一见钟情,吸引力强烈。 McVicker和Fast之间的化学反应温柔动人,两人坠入这段敞开心扉的恋情,加上他们共同探索灵能力量时能力会变得更强,这段关系也愈发浓烈,两人演来十分可信自然。对新晋女巫Anna来说,Gen的身份多变,时而爱人、时而老师、时而导师、时而挚友,二人之间的亲密感浓烈浪漫。本片将酷儿身份与魔法绑定的设定也十分鼓舞人心:故事开篇,Gen就告诉Anna,她能“闯入”他人思绪的能力是“你几乎下意识建起的防御机制”,把她的厚脸皮变成了一种超能力。 在影片后半段转入“每周一怪”的单元剧模式之前,《The Serpent’s Skin》就像是空灵的女同视角《夺命凶眼 Scanners》,其彩色打光让人想起另一部受《巴菲》启发的作品——跨女性导演Jane Schoenbrun的《I Saw the TV Glow》。这并不令人意外:跨性别电影圈本就很小,类型片领域更是如此。虽然Schoenbrun没有直接参与《The Serpent’s Skin》的制作,但另有两位知名跨性别电影人参与了本片:《The People’s Joker》导演Vera Drew担任本片剪辑,《Castration Movie》大师Louise Weard担任制片。Drew的剪辑是本片一大亮点,为影片增添了迷幻质感,大大强化了其如梦似幻的氛围。这部对类型程序剧做了酷儿更新的作品会吸引《I Saw the TV Glow》粉丝的喜爱。| Dark Star Pictures 不过归根结底,《The Serpent’s Skin》是Mackay的个人愿景,她在大银幕上的化身McVicker用内敛警觉的优雅完美演绎了这一切。这是一个幻想——关于归属感,关于以柔克刚的力量,关于能够保护所爱之人远离世间所有暴力与仇恨,但它扎根于真实的生活体验,因此十分扎实可信。在当今世界,作为酷儿可能会充满恐惧,但也可以是超然美好的。所有这些情绪都在本片中得到了体现——长着蛇牙的emo混账恶魔只是额外增添趣味的彩蛋罢了。 The Serpent’s Skin目前已在纽约、旧金山和洛杉矶的部分影院上映,4月10日起将在全美Alamo Drafthouses扩映。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Netflix最佳复仇惊悚剧预告心理情欲新反转

Netflix(SeaPRwire) -   Beef这部剧的魅力在于它不惧打破常规。这部Netflix最佳复仇惊悚片讲述了一群人如何放纵自己最恶劣的本能:在第一季中,一场路怒事件最终演变成了规模巨大的毁灭性冲突。第二季将这种冲突移植到一个安静的乡村俱乐部,看似更为低调——但实际上,《Beef》第二季的格局变得更大、更广,也更性感。导演Jake Schreier和编剧兼主创Lee Sung Jin不再像第一季那样,追踪两位截然不同的司机(以及他们备受困扰的家人)之间愈演愈烈的破坏行为,而是调整了《Beef》的视角,转而聚焦于三对心怀不满的夫妇,以及将他们连接起来的愤怒之网。阶级和权力的问题将继续扮演重要角色,正如第一季那样。但是,从该剧的最新预告片来看,第二季可能比前作更加情欲化,将整个事件变成一场心理性爱的棋局。Netflix的新预告片自然有所保留,除了已经披露的信息外,大部分剧情细节都秘而不宣。剧名中的"Beef"(矛盾)始于当地乡村俱乐部的两名新订婚员工——Ashley(Cailee Spaeny饰)和Austin(Charles Melton饰)——撞见他们的老板Josh(Oscar Isaac饰)与妻子Lindsay(Carey Mulligan饰)正在激烈争吵,场面失控。但他们也被发现了,还在争吵最激烈时拍了照片……于是,游戏开始了。然而,最新的预告片更深入地挖掘了引发他们矛盾的挫败感。在一连串脱离上下文的镜头中,Lindsay承认她表面幸福的婚姻更像是一个"暂时的创可贴"。Ashley和Austin虽然因"选错人带来的巨大痛苦"而结合,但他们正享受着漫长的蜜月期。当然,这一切都始于那个导火索事件,它似乎为各种诱惑和不忠行为打开了闸门。Lindsay被抓到偷看由Youn Yuh-jung饰演的Park会长的儿子Woosh(K-pop明星BM饰)。(Park与她第二任丈夫(由《寄生虫》的Song Kang-ho饰演)之间持续不断的冲突,构成了这个悲惨三角关系的第三边。)与此同时,Austin则指导一位客户(Seoyeon Jang饰)进行非常性感的拉伸运动。而这仅仅是个开始:Lee Sung Jin提到,像《小姐》这样的情色惊悚片,以及《革命之路》、《魅影缝匠》这样的家庭剧,都是本季《Beef》的灵感来源。所有这些元素将如何与Lee的其他灵感——如《阅后即焚》和《告密者》——相结合,只会让人们对第二季的期待更加浓厚。Beef 第二季将于4月16日在Netflix上线。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Lucasfilm(SeaPRwire) -   自《The Mandalorian》于2019年首播以来,Star Wars动画系列一直处于劣势。像《Andor》这样的真人剧集获得了艾美奖提名,而像《The Bad Batch》这样的动画系列,或是《Visions》、《Tales of the Jedi》以及《Tales of the Empire》这类选集作品,往往因为被认为对正史而言“非必要”而遭到忽视。现在,下一部Star Wars动画系列也面临着陷入同样困境的风险,但Lucasfilm的一项重大公告使其在整个Star Wars时间线中的重要性大大提升。尽管《Maul: Shadow Lord》距离在Disney+上线还有几天时间,但它已经获得了第二季续订。 | Lucasfilm距离《Maul: Shadow Lord》首播仅剩几天时间,这部动画系列讲述了Maul(Sam Witwer配音)在帝国时代崛起成为犯罪头目的故事。但在任何人看到他那把双刃光剑再次掀起腥风血雨之前,Star Wars官方宣布《Maul: Shadow Lord》已获得第二季续订,这使其成为首部在首播前就获得第二季续订的Star Wars剧集。这对该剧来说是一个巨大的利好,意味着Lucasfilm对其充满信心,以至于观众的反应已不再是考量因素——热度证明了市场对Maul系列剧集的需求。不过,吸引观众的不仅仅是他,该剧还展现了一些可怕的审判官(Inquisitors),其中包括曾在真人剧集《Ahsoka》中首次亮相的Marrok,该剧目前也正在筹备第二季。或许他就是这部剧的幸运符。Maul此前曾是Star Wars动画系列《Star Wars: The Clone Wars》和《Star Wars: Rebels》中的常驻角色。 | Lucasfilm这一公告也让我们得以推测《Maul: Shadow Lord》本身所包含的剧情。通常情况下,当Disney如此早地续订一部剧集时,是因为其中蕴含着重大的悬念,就像《Loki》第一季在展示了我们所知的时间线崩溃后,随即宣布了第二季的制作。究竟是什么样的悬念需要在一集未播的情况下就进行续订?这可能是一个足以载入史册的Star Wars故事。《Maul: Shadow Lord》将每周更新一集,直至5月4日(即Star Wars Day),如果说有什么日子适合发表重大声明,那一定就是这一天。这部曾经被认为只是填补档期的衍生剧,或许有潜力永远改变Star Wars。至少,它将终结人们对于它会成为又一部Disney+“一季即止”作品的持续担忧。《Maul: Shadow Lord》将于2026年4月6日在Disney+首播。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Transgene and NEC Bio Sign License Agreement to Prepare the Next Steps of the Development of TG4050 in Head and Neck Cancer

Strasbourg, France & Schiphol, Netherlands, Apr 3, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Transgene (Euronext Paris: TNG), a biotech company that designs and develops virus-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, and NEC Bio B.V. ("NEC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701), a leader in IT, network and AI technologies, announce the signing of a license agreement to advance the clinical development of TG4050, an individualized neoantigen therapeutic vaccine (INTV) in the adjuvant treatment of resected HPV-negative head and neck cancer.TG4050 is an individualized immunotherapy based on an MVA viral vector incorporating neoantigens selected using NEC’s AI-enabled prediction platform. It is currently being evaluated in patients with head and neck cancer with the aim of preventing relapse and extend disease-free survival following surgery and adjuvant therapy. TG4050 is designed to stimulate and educate the immune system against a patient’s cancer using tumor-specific genetic mutations (neoantigens) targeting each patient’s unique tumor. These neoantigens are identified and selected using NEC’s proprietary platform, which applies advanced machine learning to select immunogenic mutations that are most likely to induce a strong immune response.Under the terms of the license agreement, Transgene secures access to NEC’s AI-based neoantigen prediction platform for further development of TG4050 in the adjuvant treatment of resected HPV-negative head and neck cancer while conferring rights to enable Transgene’s further clinical development and to support commercialization and potential partnering of the program. NEC retains full ownership and operational control of its AI platform and will support Transgene to conduct further clinical activity.NEC will receive a technology access fee of €2.5 million in Transgene shares following the signing (see below) and an additional €2.5 million in cash to be paid out in a series of tranches through early 2028. Additionally, a further payment will be milestone-based and a portion of such payment will be made in Transgene’ shares. NEC is also eligible to receive undisclosed additional consideration including development milestone payments, as well as a double-digit share of profits or licensing revenues."Building on the results of our long-standing collaboration and with the license to use NEC’s prediction platform, we are now in a strong position to pursue further development of TG4050, which will be informed by data from our ongoing Phase 2 trial. We are also pleased to welcome NEC as a shareholder of Transgene and appreciate their confidence as we work together to advance a treatment that has the potential to improve the outcomes for patients at risk of relapse in head and neck cancer," said Dr. Alessandro Riva, Chairman and CEO of Transgene.Akira Kitamura, GM, AI Drug Development Division of NEC Corporation and CEO of NEC Bio, added, "This agreement is an important milestone in our partnership with Transgene and reflects NEC’s long-term commitment to the development of TG4050. This collaboration is a clear example of how NEC can bring differentiated AI capabilities to biopharma. The clinical data generated to date is encouraging and support the potential of TG4050 as a promising approach to reducing relapse risk in patients with head and neck cancer. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with Transgene and to realizing the full clinical and strategic potential of this partnership."Capital increaseAs indicated above, a €2.5 million portion of the access fee to be paid to NEC will be paid in Transgene shares. Transgene will thus issue 3,345,824 new shares to NEC Bio B.V. at a price of €0.7472 per share. This price corresponds to the volume-weighted average (VWAP) of the last five (5) closing prices of the Transgene shares on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris prior to signing. The new shares will represent 1.22% of the share capital of Transgene post issuance (and 0.98% of its voting rights)1.The capital increase is carried out on the basis of the 22nd resolution of the Combined General Meeting of May 15, 2025. The new shares will be admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext in Paris as soon as they are issued and will be immediately assimilated to the existing Transgene shares (ISIN code FR0005175080).The capital increase is expected to be completed by the end of April 2026.(1) Based on today’s share capital and voting rights.ShareAbout TG4050TG4050 is an individualized immunotherapy being developed in the treatment of resected HPV-negative head and neck cancer that is based on Transgene’s myvac® technology and powered by NEC’s longstanding artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) expertise.
