Deadmau5 Fortnite skin – price, release date and every Emote, Instrument and Outfit you can bag
We have known about the Deadmau5 Fortnite skin for quite some time now, but it looks like it's about to drop. Here's everything you need to know. Legendary DJ and frequent video game cameo artist Deadmau5 has finally landed in Fortnite, bringing with him a bundle packed with treats. It's been a while since we first heard whispers of Deadmau5 making an appearance in Fortnite, but it appears the wait is about to pay off. Cosmetics are the star of the show in Fortnite, with the Fantastic Four cosmetics tying nicely into the current superhero revival in cinemas, and Superman rushing to join them as part of the Super Battle Pass. And it doesn't stop there, as hints have emerged suggesting new Power Rangers and Halo Fortnite crossovers. However, there's more on the horizon, as previous rumours of Deadmau5 headlining a Fortnite Festival have now morphed into the DJ making his debut in the game as a paid Item Shop skin, following his memorable cameos in Minecraft and Goat Simulator. There's a surprising amount to delve into with the Deadmau5 Fortnite crossover, particularly considering he's just an Item Shop appearance – and he comes with some rather splendid themed alternative styles too. So, when exactly does he arrive, and what will be the cost? Here's all you need to know about the Deadmau5 Fortnite collection. Deadmau5 Fortnite skin The Deadmau5 Fortnite skin is set to land in-game on Friday, August 8 at 5pm PDT / 8pm EDT, and Saturday, August 9 at 1am BST. This information comes straight from Deadmau5 himself via Twitter, revealing the release date of the bundle, which coincides with the usual time for every cosmetic drop as this is when the game's Item Shop refreshes. The Deadmau5 Fortnite bundle will set you back a total of 2,600 V-Bucks, offering a saving of 2,400 V-Bucks. If you're looking to snag the full bundle but your in-game wallet is running on empty, your best option would be to purchase 2,800 V-Bucks (£17.49 / $22.99 / AU$30.35) from the Item Shop. A fresh reveal from leaker @iFireMonkey has shed light on what the Deadmau5 Fortnite bundle includes: It's quite a substantial bundle of goodies, and it's no shocker that there are numerous Fortnite Festival-themed items included – but the real showstopper is the selectable styles for Deadmau5 himself, decking himself out with fancy reactivity, as well as Peely and Slurp-themed costumes to help him blend into the game's world. It's an impressive collection, and if you're a fan of EDM (or Goat Simulator) then it's definitely not one to pass up.

Will Peaky Blinders' Steven Knight ruin James Bond?
Up until yesterday, I was beginning to feel cautiously optimistic about the new James Bond film. After a long hiatus in which the franchise's new owners Amazon and the previous Bond producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, seemed unable to compromise, the matter was settled. Broccoli and Wilson were paid a Jeff Bezos-sized ransom, and others took artistic control of the series. The producers – America's Amy Pascal and Britain's David Heyman – were good choices, and the decision to hire Dune's Denis Villeneuve to direct was inspired, to say the least. But the news that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight will be writing the script has sent my confidence that the picture will be any good spiraling right down. Knight may not be a household name, but he's an extraordinarily prolific screenwriter who has racked up a vast number of credits since he began his career co-creating Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in the Nineties. When he moved into television and feature films, he started out extremely well. If you haven't seen the Chiwetel Ejiofor immigration thriller Dirty Pretty Things, David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises or the Tom Hardy one-man-show Locke, you really ought to. Had Knight continued along this path, then his working on the new 007 picture would be something to look forward to. But then Peaky Blinders became a phenomenon, and Knight became a powerful figure in the industry. The results have been messy and bizarre. I sometimes wonder, given how prolific he is, whether Knight is in fact a pseudonym given to a small cottage industry of screenwriters, all charged with creating wildly disparate screenplays. In the credit column are dramas such as Stephen Graham's boxing show A Thousand Blows and the early, more dynamic seasons of Peaky Blinders. In the debit column are uninspired, rote projects such as Bradley Cooper chef drama Burnt, a failed attempt to continue the Lisbeth Salander series in the form of 2018's The Girl in the Spider's Web and the inexplicably popular military porn SAS: Rogue Heroes. But these are but an amuse bouche compared to what happens when Knight is really let off the leash, and then true nonsense comes out. Knight wrote and directed a film in 2019, Serenity, that attracted some of the worst reviews in living memory, not least because its big twist – that its stars Anna Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey were in fact trapped in a computer game played by Hathaway's character's son – was laughed off the screen. Still, this reaction was mild compared to the horror that his two Dickens adaptations, A Christmas Carol and Great Expectations, were greeted with. A Christmas Carol at least had novelty on its side – scenes in which Jacob Marley announced 'this isn't a fucking game' and Mrs Cratchit offered herself to Ebenezer Scrooge sexually were unusual, if nothing else. But when the deeply woke, essentially unwatchable Great Expectations rolled around, this magazine's television critic argued it demonstrated, 'once again the strange modern neediness to believe in our superiority to all those benighted bigots who came before us. (Please tell us we're the best people who ever lived! Please!) Or rather, it takes those ideals to new heights that are either infuriating or hilarious depending on your mood.' Knight will be reined in to a large extent on the new Bond film. They are not, and never have been, vehicles for screenwriters, although Roald Dahl wrote You Only Live Twice and Flashman creator George MacDonald Fraser was one of the many hands who put together Octopussy. Even the much-heralded hiring of Phoebe Waller-Bridge to work on the most recent picture, No Time To Die, made little difference: there were no scenes of Bond smirking to camera and delivering arch monologues about his sex life, although the film would probably have been improved if there had been. Yet the news that Knight will be taking on the new Bond film – over many more interesting, exciting screenwriters – is still very depressing.
