Xbox One - Larry Hyrb Answers User Questions
Larry Hryb, Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson, has worked on the Xbox team that developed Xbox LIVE, Xbox 360, and now Xbox One. He took some time to chat on Yahoo! today to answer some lingering and nagging questions regarding the Xbox One. We were on hand and have brought you the key bits of info.
On how the XBox One will be able to play used games...
"We are still months away from the launch of Xbox One & policy decisions are still being finalized."
Why the name Xbox One?
"Xbox One because it is the ultimate all-in-one entertainment system. As far the name Xbox 720 is concerned... that was a name the community came up with. We never considered that name."
There seems to be some confusion in the media on how frequently users must connect to the internet to use the Xbox One. Will this be as frequent as once a day as rumored, or will gamers be able to use the console for extended periods of time without an active connection?
"No. It does not have to be always connected, but it does require an internet connection."
On what the focus will be on during the Xbox One E3 presentation...
"Games. Games. GAMES :)"
On the new controller...
"The new controller is awesome; I have spent a lot of time with it. If you like the Xbox 360 controller, you'll LOVE this controller. We have made over 40 improvements in the new design. Regarding the Start and Back buttons, they'll perform similar functions but right now we don't have final names for them yet. The controller takes 2 AA batteries. More details at E3"
On 3D and 4K support...
"Indeed. Xbox One supports BOTH 3D and 4K."
On whether or not users can opt to use the controller exclusively instead of the Kinect functionality...
"As always, that is a decision up to game creators."
On backwards compatibility with 360 games...
"Xbox One hardware is not compatible with Xbox 360 games. We designed Xbox One to play an entirely new generation of games. Games are architected to take full advantage of the state of the art processors and infinite power of the cloud."
On whether or not the new Kinect can handle smaller rooms better than the Kinect 360...
"It does. It has a much wider field of view which will allow it work in smaller spaces. A 1080p wider field of view even!"
On whether or not there are plans to make Xbox LIVE a worldwide service or if it will remain as currently only available to a number of selected countries...
"We are working hard at making Xbox LIVE available in as many regions as possible. Currently we are in 41 countries."
On game developer feedback....
"They are very excited for Xbox One and the power of Xbox LIVE that will power it…as well as the unique aspects of Kinect and SmartGlass they can tap into."
On appealing to the hardcore gamer while also trying to appeal to a wider audience...
"The hardcore gaming audience has given us some great feedback, and we watch that feedback carefully. I think they’ll be happy after E3."
On how the new Xbox LIVE power will help games...
"The new architecture allows developers to do processing in the cloud in really really smart ways. That will result in much richer gaming experiences than ever before. Again more at E3!"

Limited Edition The ABCs of Death Book/Blu-ray Combo Now Available
Producers Ant Timpson and Tim League announced today the release of The ABCs of Death, a grown-up children’s book based on their highly-successful anthology film of the same name.
With a limited run of only 666 copies worldwide, the book also contains a special edition Blu-ray of the uncut feature film, which includes a whopping 30 commentaries, behind-the-scenes clips, making-of featurettes, and trailers.
Featuring original artwork from acclaimed storybook illustrator Stephan Britt and accompanied by jaw-dropping verses from author Zack Carlson, The ABCs of Death is a 56-page storybook guaranteed to entertain young and old alike with its hilarious, heartwarming tales of cannibalism, suicide, and life-or-death sex tournaments.
Based on each and every horrifying segment from the hit 2012 anthology film (from 26 of the world’s most acclaimed voices in genre cinema), the disturbingly adorable storybook entrenches the movie’s extreme splatter into a whole new world of 1960s, Dr. Seuss-inspired artwork.
“The idea for this unusual film sprung from a deep fondness of alphabet books from our collective childhood,” says ABCs producer and creator Ant Timpson. “A little digging revealed that the books had a dark history and that many early versions were used as punishment primers. In a sleep-deprived state that was all the ammunition required for an epiphany of sorts. How about creating a film inspired by the alphabet?”
And now, it’s time for the book based on that film... based on those books.
The ABCs of Death limited edition storybook (with Blu-ray) is now available for purchase at abcsdeathbook.com for $37.00. The film The ABCs of Death is now available for purchase online and through all major retailers from Magnet Releasing.
Timpson Films, Drafthouse Films, and Magnet Releasing will debut The ABCs of Death 2 in 2014.

New Maniac Trailer Ready to Scalp You
Hot on the heels of the two new one-sheets we showed you a couple of hours ago for the remake of the 1981 Bill Lustig classic Maniac, a new trailer has come our way that does a fine job of illustrating the film's many horrors.
Franck Khalfoun directs the script by Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur, which stars Elijah Wood. Nora Arnezeder (Safe House) co-stars in Maniac (review here).
Look for the film to open in select theaters, on iTunes, and on VOD platforms June 21st.
Synopsis:
A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in the present day, MANIAC is a reboot of the cult film considered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made. Frank (Elijah Wood, in a tour de force performance) is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates and the number of victims increases, it becomes clear that Frank is far more dangerous than he seems. With a pulsating electronic score by Rob, the film is an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiraling nightmare of a killer and his victims.

Grimm Creature Profile: Meet the Zombie Making Cracher-Mortel
Last night's Season 2 finale of "Grimm" was pretty awesome in all respects, not least of which was the presence of the creature known as the Cracher-Mortel, which wreaked enough havoc to keep fans on pins and needles until the show returns in the fall.
The Cracher-Mortel, a puffer fish-like Wesen portrayed by Reg E. Cathey (no offense to Reg, but did anyone else think Tony Todd would have killed in that part?), spits a thick green liquid that induces a death-like trance on its victims. We were pretty shocked to see who its main intended victim was all along, and you better believe the shit is going to hit the fan once everyone else in Portland catches on!
For more info visit "Grimm" on NBC.com (where full episodes are available for viewing), check out some InstaGRIMMS on Instagram, "like" "Grimm" on Facebook, and follow "Grimm" on Twitter.

Sam Neill Calls New Jurassic Park a Reboot
Don't get your panties in a bunch just yet, folks. Some recent news has hit the wire stating that the recently delayed fourth Jurassic Park film is not a sequel, but rather a reboot or remake. However, odds are pretty good that this is just not the case.
This whole thing started when The Dominion Post asked Sam Neill about the upcoming flick and Neill stated, "I'm told it's a big reboot, a total re-jig." Now before you start lighting torches, just keep in mind that a fourth film can kick-start a franchise without remaking it. Think Scream 4. So really, let's cool it a bit, shall we? Sometimes I hate the Internet.
In coordination with the filmmakers, Universal has decided to release Jurassic Park 4 at a yet-to-be-determined later date than originally announced, giving the studio and filmmakers adequate time to bring audiences the best possible version of the fourth installment in Universal’s beloved franchise. Safety Not Guaranteed director Colin Trevorrow had been tapped to helm the next installment in the dino-rific series. Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver penned the script.

Write an Essay About this New Clip from Byzantium
Another clip has arrived for Neil Jordan's Byzantium (review here), and if you're the writing type, you should be able to relate to it. Check it out, and look for the flick May 31st in the UK and June 28th in the States.

Synopsis
On the run for murder, two young "sisters" arrive penniless at an English seaside town. Clara is a fiercely modern woman who has her eyes on the future and no time for the past. Teenager Eleanor is shy and innocent. Yet, they both hide the same secrets: They are really mother and daughter, and they are both ... vampires!
Eleanor is exhausted by 200 years on the run and desperate to settle down. But little does she know that her mother has been protecting her all of the years from their own kind, "The Brotherhood". To escape them, they must either blend in or continue running away. But just as they think they may have escaped, their past rapidly catches up with them.

Synopsis:
Piper (Beharie) is a beautiful, intelligent young woman with everything to live for... but she’s trapped in a dark world of her own making. Deeply troubled, desperate, and clutching a handgun, Piper has not left her apartment in a long time; and when there’s a knock on the door, she will face a choice that will make the difference between life and death. This stranger may have the answers to the mystery at the center of Piper’s world, or he may have his own reasons for tracking her down. The truth lies up the stairs and down the hall in Apartment 4E.
A passion project for Sharman, the film received partial funding from a Kickstarter campaign in 2010, reaching 126 backers and raising its goal of over $10,000.

Two More Sign on to Feel The Strain
Two more names have signed on to appear in the upcoming FX adaptation of the Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan vampire opus The Strain. Read on for the details surrounding the latest additions, who happen to know a few things about changing the course of history.
THR reports that Titanic's Jonathan Hyde (pictured) and Inglourious Basterds' Richard Sammel have boarded the television project. Hyde will portray the series regular role of Eldritch Palmer, an elderly tycoon who's the third-richest man in the world who has been an invalid since childhood. Though his life-long fight against his frail body, he's developed a relentless drive to attain immortality by any means necessary.
Sammel, meanwhile, will play Thomas Eichorst, a mysterious figure from Professor Abraham Setrakian's past whose re-emergence in New York is not a coincidence. (The role of Setrakian has yet to be cast.) They join the previously announced Corey Stoll, Mia Maestro, and Kevin Durand.
Del Toro will direct the pilot from a script he co-wrote with Chuck Hogan, who also co-authored the books with him. Carlton Cuse ("Lost," "Bates Motel"), who helped develop the adaptation, executive produces alongside del Toro and will serve as showrunner, overseeing the potential series with del Toro. Hogan and del Toro’s longtime manager/producing partner Gary Ungar also serve as exec producers of the project, produced by FX Prods.
"The Strain" is a high-concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Stoll), the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers wage war for the fate of humanity itself.

The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence Gets Stitched to the City of Angels
After months of silence finally there's something new slithering our way regarding Tom Six's The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence... the flick is finally starting up production in Los Angeles. Read on for details.
According to The LA Times, Six Entertainment Co. is scheduled to shoot a scene for The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence on Friday in the Monterey Park area, according to a permit filed with FilmL.A. Inc., which handles film permits for the city and the county. They should be a bit worried though as going ass-to-mouth with folks in any big city can lead to a scorching STD.
A while back the production of The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence had to be put on hold due a legal battle between director Tom Six's Six Entertainment Company and actor Dieter Laser, who played the villain Dr. Heiter in the first Human Centipede, but the lawsuit has been dropped by Six Entertainment Company and everyone involved is one big sick - yet happy - family again!

Second Teaser Promo for BBC America's In the Flesh
A second teaser promo has arrived for BBC America's three-night "In the Flesh" event that introduces us to the character Amy, portrayed by Emily Bevan. Will you be watching when it begins on Thursday, June 6th?
Synopsis:
"In the Flesh" explores a post-zombie-uprising - from the zombie’s perspective. The series follows 18-year-old Kieren Walker (Luke Newberry; Anna Karenina, Quartet), a Partially Deceased Syndrome (PDS) sufferer who, now treated with the medication Neurolax, is deemed ready to return to his parents’ home in the small village of Roarton. Since the passing of the PDS Protection Act, the government has set an agenda of acceptance and tolerance, one that is at odds with the communities abandoned at the time of The Rising and the bloody battle between zombies and humans that ensued. A cauldron of brutal anti-zombie sentiment boils in Roarton, the home of the ‘rotter’ hating Human Volunteer Force (HVF). Can Kieren’s neighbors forgive him for what he did in his untreated state? More importantly, can Kieren forgive himself?
"In the Flesh" takes a fresh approach to the zombie genre, using it to tell a story that tackles real family and domestic issues. It’s about feeling ‘other,’ exploring how chaos is born, and the destructive effects it can have on both the individual and the community.
Emily Bevan ("The Thick of It"), Steve Evets ("Shameless"), Kenneth Cranham ("Upstairs Downstairs"), Ricky Tomlinson ("The Royle Family"), David Walmsley ("Doctors"), and Harriet Cains (Human Beings) also star in this thought-provoking series about redemption, forgiveness, and the battle against prejudice. The three-part series, created and written by Dominic Mitchell, is directed by Jonny Campbell, with Ann Harrison-Baxter serving as producer and Hilary Martin as executive producer.
Part One premieres Thursday, June 6, 10:00pm ET/PT:
Partially Deceased Syndrome sufferer Kieren Walker returns home to the cauldron of Roarton but doesn't receive a warm welcome. His parents, Steve and Sue, are undoubtedly pleased to see him, but his sister, Jem, isn't so ready to pick up where they left off when Kieren died back in 2009. Meanwhile, the zombie-hating Human Volunteer Force, led by the violent Bill Macy, is ready to take action against any PDS sufferer reintegrated on their patch.
Part Two premieres Friday, June 7, 10:00pm ET/PT:
Feeling trapped at home, Kieren escapes to his grave, where he is reunited with his old hunting partner, Amy Dyer, who persuades him to take a dangerous day trip. Kieren discovers that Rick, his former best mate who died in Afghanistan, is back in town. Amy convinces Kieren to go and see him at The Legion. After an awkward reunion, Kieren finds himself on an HVF hunting mission in the woods, where the night patrol has reported live rabid zombies roaming free.
Part Three premieres Saturday, June 8, 10:00pm ET/PT:
After visiting the supermarket where he used to hunt with Amy, Kieren remembers that Jem once spared his life. Together, brother and sister confront the demons in their pasts and visit Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster (the parents of the girl from Kieren’s flashbacks, who fell victim to Kieren and Amy in the supermarket). Kieren feels momentarily better but then has to say goodbye to Amy, who is leaving Roarton in search of The Prophet. Will Kieren and Rick be able to find peace and acceptance as PDS sufferers in this highly-charged new world?
