BY JAKE COYLE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This is the pantheon of “Max Payne,” “Wing Commander” and “Assassin’s Creed.” In the 27 years since the first video game movie, “Super Mario Bros.,” these adaptations have been so regularly mocked that you might think the genre was — like a teetering fighter in “Mortal Kombat” surrounded by chants of “Finish him!” — on its last legs. And yet, Hollywood is increas- ingly viewing video games as one of the ripest, richest veins of intellectual property outside of comic books.

| U.S. & WORLD BRIEFS | New data reassuring for COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy (AP) — One of the largest reports on COVID-19 vaccination in preg- nancy bolsters evidence that it is safe although the authors say more comprehensive research is needed. The preliminary results are based on reports from more than 35,000 U.S. women who received either the Moderna or Pfizer shots while pregnant. Their rates of miscarriage, premature births and other complications were compara- ble to those observed in published reports on pregnant women before the pandemic. The new evidence from research- ers at the federal Centers for Dis- ease Control and Prevention was published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. None of the women involved received Johnson & Johnson’s one- shot vaccine, which became avail- able after the study, and is now in limbo as U.S. authorities examine reports of blood clots in a handful of women.
