  • 1) Introduction. Cyberpunk 2077 Was a Highly Anticipated Video Game
    1) Introduction. Cyberpunk 2077 was a highly anticipated video game that was meant to tackle the cyberpunk genre and relied heavily on the idea of gender inclusivity in their PR. This makes it a worthy research object as it is one of few video games made by a large company with lots of resources that has truly attempted to step into inclusivity and progressiveness. Unfortunately, Cyberpunk 2077 has also faced a large amount of criticism and was considered an absolute failure of a launch title, to the point where it was recalled. This paper will be addressing first what exactly Cyberpunk is and what it meant to accomplish along with the many factors that made it such a highly anticipated release. This paper will then continue to address how this ultimately ended up hurting the release by discussing its failures and the consequences to the company following their botched release. 2) Description and Context. Cyberpunk 2077 is a video game of the action role-playing game genre made by CD Projekt Red. Cyberpunk 2077 released December 10th, 2020 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Google Stadia and for Microsoft Windows. The game places the player into Night City, “a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body modification.” The player steps into the role of V, a mercenary trying to obtain a one-of-a-kind implant that will grant them eternal life. To get it, the player will have to hone their skills and fight off enemies ranging from police to security to street thugs in the name of their prize (“Cyberpunk 2077”).

BLOODSHOT, arriving in theaters in 2017, will kick off the five-picture plan leading to HARBINGER WARS and will be directed by David Leitch & Chad Stahelski (John Wick) from a script by Jeff Wadlow (Kick Ass 2) and Eric Heisserer (Story of Your Life). Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe fromOriginal Film (The Fast and the Furious franchise) and Dinesh Shamdasani from Valiant Entertainment will produce the film. Matthew Vaughn and Jason Kothari will serve as executive producers. HARBINGER will follow shortly thereafter from a script by Eric Heisserer (Story of Your Life). Sony and Valiant remain tight-lipped about potential directors. Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe from Original Film(The Fast and the Furious franchise) and Dinesh Shamdasani from Valiant Entertainment will produce. Both BLOODSHOT and HARBINGER will be followed by sequels before the title characters confront each other head on in HARBINGER WARS—a motion picture directly inspired by Valiant’s critically acclaimed 2013 comic book crossover of the same name. Andrea Giannetti will oversee the five- picture HARBINGER WARS initiative for Sony Pictures. “Valiant is one of the most successful publishers in the history of comics, and Neal is one of the best action producers in the business today.

  • Developments in Revenge, Justice and Rape in the Cinema
    Int J Semiot Law https://doi.org/10.1007/s11196-019-09614-7 Developments in Revenge, Justice and Rape in the Cinema Peter W. G. Robson1 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract The index to the 2018 VideoHound Guide to Films suggests that under the broad heading of “revenge” there have been something in excess of 1000 flms. This appears to be the largest category in this comprehensive guide and suggests that this is, indeed, a theme which permeates the most infuential sector of popular cul- ture. These flms range from infuential and lauded flms with major directors and stars like John Ford (The Searchers (1956) and Alejandro González Iñárritu (The Revenant (2015)) to “straight to video” gorefests with little artistic merit and a spe- cifc target audience (The Hills Have Eyes (1977)). There is, as the Film Guide numbers suggest much in between like Straw Dogs (1972) and Outrage (1993). The making and re-making of “revenge” flms continues with contributions in 2018 from such major stars as Denzel Washington in The Equalizer 2 and Brue Willis in Death Wish. Within this body of flm is a roster of flms which allow us to speculate on the nature of the legal system and what individual and to a lesser extent commu- nity responses are likely where there appears to be a defcit of justice. One of the sub-groups within the revenge roster is a set of flms which focus on revenge by the victim for rape which are discussed for their rather diferent approach to the issue of justice.
