Sports Illustrated's Super Bowl prediction won't play well with Eagles fans
Sports Illustrated's Super Bowl prediction won't play well with Eagles fans Sports Illustrated's 100 Bold Predictions has Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills defeating Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 60 Nothing moves our meters like stats, numbers, and a constant thirst for prognostication. Most have already predicted the Philadelphia Eagles' record for the coming season. Others have tossed Madden ratings around in their heads. Others have already constructed their Fantasy football draft board while predicting the following three Super Bowl winners. It wouldn't be an NFL offseason without bold predictions, and one of sports' most trusted platforms delivered with more than enough of them. The Super Bowl... Eh... While the expected matchup is very possible, Birds fans are going to hate how this story ends. SI predicts an Eagles loss to the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl 60. To a die-hard fan, there's nothing worse than seeing another who is believed to be riding a bandwagon. That's much of the reason why Eagles fans despise Dallas Cowboys fans so much. They seem to disappear when things don't go well. Though no support system is more loyal than that belonging to the Birds, there are a handful that a Philadelphia sports fan sees as loyal and respectable. One is a 'mafia' from upstate New York. Buffalo Bills fans have been through a lot, and if there's one fan base that the Eagles contingent wouldn't mind seeing win its first Lombardi Trophy, it's that of the Bills. Now, all of this goes out the window if Philadelphia is Buffalo's opponent. That seemingly goes without saying. Sports Illustrated sees that as the expected matchup on football's biggest stage. Connor Orr provides the details. "Predicting the Eagles will return to the big game is a begrudging move on my part, but it's a recognition that nearly all of the NFC front-runners have brutal schedules. Philadelphia is the one team that can handle the rigors of such a slate and win ugly consistently enough to make the dance." He continued by stating the following. "Meanwhile, the Bills have an amenable schedule that includes the Browns, Falcons, Panthers, and Saints, as well as multiple cracks at the bottom rung of the AFC East. This slate will keep Josh Allen healthy and in berserker mode for the playoffs when Buffalo needs him most. " A paragraph later, he goes on to state that Josh Allen wins Super Bowl MVP... Yeah... Again, we can see the matchup. It's one of three that ESPN predicted (Philadelphia represents the NFC in all three), but we disagree with the result of the SI take. SI's 100 bold predictions for the season pick up steam. It also forecasts Philadelphia's 'tush push' montage being one of the most-watched videos ever and Jason Kelce teaming up with Brandon Graham to rejoin the organization in professional roles. Now that we can deal with it. Think about it. That may mean free beers on game day for everybody!

Elden Ring film adaptation confirmed with Alex Garland set to direct
A live-action adaptation of the popular video game Elden Ring is confirmed to be in development with director Alex Garland at the helm. The 2022 fantasy game was directed by FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki, who reached out to A Song of Ice and Fire author George RR Martin to develop the story and mythology. Set in the mythical world of the Lands Between, the player takes on the role of an exiled warrior called the Tarnished who must defeat powerful demigods while collecting Great Runes to restore a powerful artifact known as the Elden Ring. Elden Ring has long been considered one of the greatest games, having sold more than 30 million copies and winning multiple awards. The film adaptation, which was first reported by InSneider, will be released by A24 in partnership with Bandai Namco Entertainment. It will be written and directed by Garland and produced by Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich as well as George RR Martin and Vince Gerardis, according to Deadline. Martin had teased the adaptation in February this year saying: 'Well, I can't say too much about it, but there is some talk about making a movie out of Elden Ring.' He had caveated the announcement saying he could be prevented from being involved because he was still working on the next A Song of Fire and Ice book, the long-awaited The Winds of Winter. 'We'll see if that comes to pass and what the extent of my involvement was, I don't know,' he told IGN, referring to the Elden Ring movie. 'I'm a few years behind with my latest book, so that also limits the amount of things that I can do.' A spinoff of the Elden Ring game titled Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled to release on 30 May. After the game's release in 2022, The Independent's Jasper Pickering wrote: 'Elden Ring is by far the most accessible game the developer has made, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Rather than lowering the difficulty ceiling, it has instead raised the floor. By throwing open the doors of its vast world, Elden Ring maintains the genre's reputation for challenge without being marred by artificial barriers to entry.' Elden Ring's worldbuilding by Martin has received widespread praise. 'Elden Ring was going to take place in, let's say the present of their game universe. But what they wanted me to write was what happened like 5,000 years before that,' Martin said in an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. 'So I went back and wrote a history of what happened 5,000 years before the current game, and who all the characters were and who was killing each other and what powers they had. They had these runes that were at the center of the game, and the rune got split into many pieces, and that's what screwed up the world. I laid all that out.'

Alex Garland Will Write and Direct A24's ‘Elden Ring' Live-Action Movie
The video game adaptation train keeps on a-going, and the next stop is a big-screen take on 2022's Elden Ring. Alex Garland and A24 are making it happen. Rumors of an adaptation have been swirling around for some time, but now it's official. According to Deadline, the fantasy RPG published by Bandai Namco Entertainment and developed by FromSoftware will become a feature film courtesy of A24. At the helm is Garland as writer and director; he's a genre veteran whose credits include Ex Machina and Annihilation, as well as Civil War, Men, and the recent Warfare. He also scripted the upcoming 28 Years Later for director Danny Boyle, the much-anticipated follow-up to the zombie series they created. Last year, game director Hidetaka Miyazaki said he'd be open to a film if the 'right partner' was involved, and A24, which is also doing a Death Stranding movie, appears to be it. Elden Ring is based on a story by Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin, who'll be among the feature film's producers. Set in the Lands Between, Elden Ring tasks players with repairing the titular ring—runes that control reality—and becoming the new Elden Lord to usher in a new age. Uniting the ring requires a lot of horseback and a lot of dying, but by that point, players had become familiar with FromSoftware's work and eagerly dived in. Ring was a critical hit and one of 2022's biggest games. After last year's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, FromSoftware is returning to the game with Nightreign, a standalone multiplayer-focused spinoff. Both the base Ring and Erdtree are releasing on the Nintendo Switch 2 later in 2025. Expect more news on the Elden Ring movie as it develops.

‘Where's Dilip?': As Farah Khan shares her latest directorial with Shah Rukh Khan, fans want to know where her cook is. Watch
Farah Khan's cook Dilip has been getting a lot of attention lately, since he started appearing in the filmmaker's vlogs on YouTube. About a month ago, she had revealed a huge surprise that he will be featuring in an advertisement with none other than Shah Rukh Khan. In a subsequent episode, she added that Dilip has also been directed by her in the promo with SRK. However, the superstar's latest ad which released today, on May 16, didn't feature Dilip in it. While some drooled over SRK's charm in the video, several fans also questioned Dilip's absence. Shah Rukh anchored a cookie brand's latest initiative 'Fantasy Zaroori Hai' with a beautiful long Hindi poem. It was written by National Award-winning lyricist and playback singer Swanand Kirkire. His poetic side won millions of hearts, with some wondering why Farah's cook Dilip wasn't a part of the commercial, despite revealing he has shot for one. The advertisement has been directed by Farah Khan, as she also shared it on her social media. Taking to her Instagram handle, she posted the ad video and wrote, 'Shah Rukh, maine toh itna hi poocha tha ki fantasy ke baare me tumhara kya khayaal hai. Tum ne toh Fantasy pe movie hi bana di.' ALSO READ | Farah Khan's cook Dilip says even he can buy a big house like Vijay Varma if she pays him enough: 'Main bhi khareed lunga' Check out the post: A post shared by Farah Khan Kunder (@farahkhankunder) Netizens flooded the comments section asking about Dilip in the clip. A fan wrote, 'Where's Dilip?' 'Har bar aisa lag raha tha Dilip ki entry hogi jaisa ki aapane kaha tha Shahrukh sar ke sath Dilip ka add shoot hua Hai,' a person wrote. Another fan commented, 'I thought Dilip entry maarenge bich me – Aapne toh kaha tha ki SRK x Dilip dekhne milega.' In a vlog earlier, the Tees Maar Khan director had revealed that her cook Dilip had replaced her and shot an advertisement with Shah Rukh Khan. In addition, she had also shared the Dilwale actor's reaction to it in another vlog. Recalling her conversation with SRK, she said, 'He (Dilip) called me and said, 'Please come and teach me.' So Shah Rukh told me, 'Mera time dekh kya chal raha hai, main tere cook ke saath ad kar raha hoon' (Look at what times I'm going through — I'm shooting with your cook). I told him, 'Mera time soch, tere ko chhod ke usko direct kar rahi hoon' (Think about my times — I'm directing your cook instead of you).'
