Margot Robbie will wave goodbye to Barbie world and hello to more nostalgic intellectual property when she starts production on a new a movie inspired by “The Sims.” The three-time Oscar nominee’s LuckyChap will produce the flick, set to be helmed by “Loki” director Kate Herron, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Herron, who directed the Disney+ series’ freshman season and several episodes of Netflix’s “Sex Education,” will reunite with her “Run Toward Them” co-writer Briony Redman to pen the script. It’s unclear what the plot will be and whether it will, like “Barbie,” have a meta component or act as societal commentary. The film will be produced in partnership with the game’s publisher, Electronic Arts, and Vertigo Entertainment.

Of all the incredible performances that have come out of the Northern Oklahoma College’s Division of Fine Arts over the past few years, Something Rotten! is without a doubt an easy fan favorite. From the struggles they face and the main character’s disdain for Shakespeare to the catchy musical numbers and a twist on commonly known musicals, this performance left the crowd in stitches.

Well after the long winded history of legal battles and reinterpretations that was King Kong, we will now resume March of the Monsters with Toho’s number two kaiju: Mothra. Now Mothra is no doubt a name you’ve heard before, with the giant insect making itself well known outside of Japan as Godzilla’s most frequent foe/ally, appearing in 10 films in the Godzilla series (not counting stock footage), and four solo films of her own.
