This Fan-Made CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Trailer is Blowing Our Minds
By Merrill Barr on February 1, 2015
With the marketing campaign of Avengers: Age of Ultron steadily underway, we couldn’t be more excited to see all our favorite MCU heroes get together again for another round of Joss Whedon directed excellence. However, one of Marvel’s most prevalent tricks is about making the audience care about not what’s coming up, but what’s coming next. But how do you do that with an Avengers film? Well by promising something even crazier on its follow-up.
As announced in the final quarter of last year, the upcoming Captain America: Civil War is going to feature an all out brawl (we hope) between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark that will also include a first time appearance by Black Panther. However, summer 2016 is still a long ways away, but thanks to one clever fan, that wait just became a little more bearable:
If the actual movie is even half as good as this fan-made trailer, then we’re going to be in for something really special. This is exactly the kind of thing we want to see take place in the upcoming Captain America threequel – a lot of moral conflict between Tony and Steve that boilers over into some of the best action sequences since Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Yes, we have no doubt we’ll be blown clean out of our socks this May by Age of Ultron, but we may have even higher hopes now for Civil War, and that isn’t a bad thing. Applause to Alex86 for the amazing trailer work.
Captain America: Civil War hits theaters May 6th, 2016.

Signs point to cancellation for Kojima’s Silent Hills [Updated]
Del Toro quits collaboration, playable trailer coming off of PSN.

Updated: Konami has sent out a Q&A responding to the series’ supposed cancellation. While the company notes that it will continue to develop the Silent Hill series, it doesn’t specifically mention that Silent Hills is still being made. The full Q&A from Konami is at the end of the story.
In all of last month’s drama surrounding Hideo Kojima’s troubled relationship with Konami and the Metal Gear Solid franchise, there was little information on the fate of Silent Hills, the survival horror sequel collaborationbetween Kojima, film director Gullermo del Toro, and actor Norman Reedus. While the Kojima Productions logo was removed from the game’s home page late in March, there was no official word from Konami regarding the project’s fate. This weekend, though, a number of strong signs point to the game’s outright cancellation.
The bad news started when a member of the Metal Gear Solid subreddit noticed a troubling message on Konami’s Japanese site: “The distribution period of ‘P.T. (Playable Teaser)’ on PlayStation Store will expire on Wednesday, April 29, 2015.” That cryptic “teaser” was the same interactive demo that hid the original Silent Hills announcement last August. It’s possible Sony or Konami simply decided that P.T. had run its promotional course, but it seems odd to remove such a well-received free download with little warning… unless the game it’s promoting no longer exists, that is.
The bad signs continued today, with del Toro reportedly telling a San Francisco International Film Festival audience that his collaboration on the project is “not gonna happen,” according to tweetsfrom multiple sources in attendance. Norman Reedus responded to reports of del Toro’s statements,tweeting that he was “super bummed” about the apparent cancellation and “hopefully it’ll come back around.”
It’s quite possible that Reedus doesn’t have any insider information, and he’s simply working off the same incomplete reports that we all have at the moment. IGN cites an anonymous source who clarified that del Toro was only speaking of his involvement in the project, not speaking definitively about the game’s overall fate. “You’ll have to go after Konami for those answers,” the source said. (Konami and representatives for del Toro were not available to respond to a request for comment over the weekend).
On the other end, Polygon cites an anonymous “person with knowledge of the project’s development” in reporting that the project is “effectively cancelled.”
Given the already fragile relationship reported between Kojima and Konami, all the new smoke surrounding the project likely points to some sort of fire regarding Silent Hills‘ cancellation. If confirmed, the news would be another blow to a fan base that has been waiting patiently for the series to return to form following 2012’s disappointing Silent Hill: Downpour.
