"Wolfenstein" TV Series in Works
A TV series adaptation of the 'Wolfenstein' video games is in development at Amazon MGM Studios.
While the exact plot details are being kept under wraps, the official logline of the series simply states, 'The story of killing Nazis is evergreen.'
Patrick Somerville is attached to serve as the creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the project under his chaoticgood.tv production banner. Jonah Nolan, Lisa Joy, and Athena Wickham will executive produce via Kilter Films. James Altman of Keyframe Films and Jerk Gustafsson of 'Wolfenstein' developer MachineGames will also executive produce.
The 'Wolfenstein' franchise helped popularize first-person shooter video games. It have largely centered on U.S. World War II solider William 'B.J.' Blazkowicz.
In the games, Blazkowicz goes behind enemy lines to fight the Nazis, only to discover they are engaging in bizarre experiments and the occult in an attempt to tip the scales of the war in their favor.
The first game in the franchise, 'Castle Wolfenstein,' was released in 1981. It and the 1984 sequel, 'Beyond Castle Wolfenstein,' were top-down perspective games. Starting with 'Wolfenstein 3D' in 1992, the games shifted to first-person shooters.
There are 14 games in the 'Wolfenstein' series in total, with the most recent being the VR game 'Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot.'
The games are currently developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks.
It was previously announced that a film version of the games was in the works back in 2012, but it never moved forward.
Should this project move forward, it would be the latest video game TV series at Amazon for Kilter Films.
The company currently produces the hit Prime Video series 'Fallout,' which is currently prepping to release its second season in December and has already been renewed for a third.
In addition, Kilter has partnered with Michael B. Jordan's Outlier Society to produce the TV adaptation of Rebecca Yarros' adult fantasy novel 'Fourth Wing' for Amazon.
The company is also known for producing 'The Peripheral' starring Chloe Grace Moretz for Amazon as well as for the hit series 'Westworld' at HBO and 'Person of Interest' at CBS.
Amazon has multiple other projects in development based on games. Those include a 'Mass Effect' TV series, a 'God of War' series (which originally got greenlit in 2022), and a series based on the tabletop wargame 'Warhammer 40,000' starring Henry Cavill.

Lotfy Labib Admitted Again to ICU
Yara Sameh Veteran Egyptian actor Lotfy Labib was transferred again on Tuesday to the intensive care unit (ICU) in critical condition after suffering from another health scare. This was the veteran actor's second time this month to be hospitalised. On July 13, Labib was admitted to the ICU after suffering from a sudden health crisis. Born on August 18, 1947, Labib is an Egyptian stage, television, and film actor. The acclaimed actor has worked profusely, in many supporting but memorable roles, with over 200 film and television credits. Through many of his screen appearances, the veteran actor has performed admirably and has shown himself to be one of the strongest performers of his generation. On March 29, Labib announced his retirement from acting due to his health condition. "In my current health condition, if I get a role, I won't be able to play it because I prefer that my image remains as it was to the fans," he said. He made his final onscreen appearance in the 2024 film 'Ana W Ibn Khalti' ("Me and My Cousin"). Hanady Mehanna, Bayoumi Fouad, Sayed Ragab, Mimi Gamal, Sara Abdelrahman, Ali Loka, and Enaam Salousa round out the cast. Ahmed Saleh directed from a script by Doaa Abdel Wahab and Amr Abu Zeid. The official logline for the film states, 'Engage in the traditional, age-old rivalry through several comedic situations to prove who's better, only to discover in the end that the real victory is family and that everyone is best loved by those around them.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

"Meet the Parents 4" Official Title Revealed
Yara Sameh The fourth Meet the Parents movie has set a title. "Focker in-Law" is the official title of the entry. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson will return for the fourth installment in the long-running comedy series, while Ariana Grande is joining the cast. The film's title references the surname of Stiller's character, Greg Focker. In the original movie, he endures a lot of painfully awkward hijinx while meeting his partner's parents for the first time. 'Meet the Parents,' which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, became a box office blockbuster with $330 million worldwide. The comedy of errors then spawned two commercially successful sequels: 2004's 'Meet the Fockers' (which introduced Greg's parents, Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman) and 2010's 'Little Fockers.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by @fockerinlaw John Hamburg, who wrote the first three films, will pen and direct 'Focker in-Law.' Stiller teased the fourquel during a 25th anniversary screening of 'Meet the Parents,' saying they only returned because they found an 'organic reason' to revisit the characters. 'What spurred the idea is that I'm the age that Bob was when we did the first movie,' Stiller told the crowd at the Tribeca Festival. 'It felt like a mirror to the first film, where one of my kids is thinking about introducing his person to the family.' De Niro revealed he's read the screenplay, though he stopped short of offering any plot details. 'The script is really fun,' he shared. 'I'm looking forward to it.' Audiences, meanwhile, won't get a glimpse of the on-screen shenanigans until 'Focker in-Law' opens in theaters on November 25, 2026. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
