    Chad Stahelski Teases Highlanders Martial Arts-Heavy Reboot
    Hollywoods been trying to get a Highlanderreboot off the ground for years, with different directors, writers, and actors at the helm. As we learned back in January, the latest attempt is set to star ex-Superman Henry Cavill and be helmed by John Wickdirector Chad Stahelski. We havent heard much about it since then, but Stahelskis recently teased some interesting aspects of the film. Speaking to the Direct (thanks, IGN), Stahelski revealed the newHighlanderis set beyond present-day New York and Hong Kong. As he described it, Cavills character has been an immortal warrior for over 500 years. Hes the last person in the world that wanted to be in this situation, so you get to cover quite a broad spread of a character arc there. Definitely not Cavills first rodeo as a reluctant hero, but the director apparently sold him on the project by explaining that the role would provide a chance to play a character that not a lot of people get to play. As for what else you can expect from Highlander,Stahelski teased thered be a whole lot of action. Youre shocked, surely, but he more explicitly stated audiences would experience someone thats trained over 500 years and sort of played [with many types of] martial arts. During his journey, Cavills hero becomes embroiled in a love story, though its apparently not as eyeroll-worthy as that may sound. Theres another kind of myth at play with that part of the movie, said Stahelski, helped by learning how to bend the story while working on the John Wickmovies.If that sounds like your kind of action flick, itll be a while: production on theHighlandermovie is set to kick off in spring 2025, and Lionsgate hasnt set down a firm release window at time of writing.

Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, whats next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

The new campus of Chongqing Electric Power College is located in a continuous mountainous environment in Tongnan District, Chongqing. The site of the campus is undulating with drops of nearly 100 meters. The total construction area of the campus is about 370,000 square meters, which is a high-density valley-type mountainous campus. Based on the analysis and research of the landscape environment and subject development, the architect decided to implant a ribbon-shaped growth and light interference buildings into the mountainous environment to build a compact and smart valley-type high-density landscape campus with ecological adaptability. The library is the spatial core of this light interference band-shaped building complex.Save this picture!Save this picture!The library has a construction area of about 16000 square meters. The architect attempts to comprehensively balance various design factors such as the campus ecological environment, cultural environment, energy conservation and emission reduction, space shaping and other design factors during the architectural design process, and deeply integrate with the unique cultural elements and characteristics of the electric power discipline from multiple levels and perspectives, trying to explore a multi-dimensional symbiotic personalized creative thinking that can essentially lead the campus design.Save this picture!Save this picture!Green and low-carbon thinking reflected in the ecological ring. The library is located in the center of the valley, where airflow is blocked by the surrounding mountains. Therefore, the architect choses a circular building shape with half-raised ground floor to enclose a three-dimensional wind corridor connected to the outside world. Through hot pressure difference between upper and lower sides, cool air cooled by the catchment landscape water is introduced into the interior of the building, strengthening the natural ventilation of the overall building, reducing building energy consumption, and improving space comfort. At the same time, the permeable architectural form lightly interferes with the organic growth state between the mountains, forming a multi-dimensional dialogue with the landscape. The comfortable and pleasant space under the corridor facing landscape water body, sheltered from rain and sun, will also become a place for students to read, study, and communicate.Save this picture!Save this picture!Interest in electric power discipline reflected by the energy ring. In addition to the ecological nature of the circular shape, the library is an "energy ring" of electricity in the cultural sense, which comes from the distinctive subject characteristics of the college. The building's facade abstractly displays the form of lightning through the change in the thickness of sunshade rods, which is the source of human understanding of electricity-Franklin's introduction of sky electricity, in order to easily and interestingly express the unique cultural charm of the electric power campus and create a campus cultural carrier with scientific spiritual connotations and electric power science connotations. Walking into the library, the indoor space also carries the connotation of power culture. In the center of atrium, an interesting hovering "energy ring" wooden staircase communicates with the sky and earth, which forms an infinite recurring "power structure" with the circular space of the sharing space. This "Giant Electric structure" embodies the scientific interest of energy exchange between man and nature, go and return circulation, and the communication between heaven and earth by science.Save this picture!Save this picture!The "Energy Ring" library presents the source of electric power, the Oriental wisdom of how to use the power of nature, and the energy interaction between man and nature in a unique space. Human learned about electricity from nature, and changed human lives and understanding of science through electricity. By making use of nature and understanding nature better, human beings have achieved self-revolution and development one after another. Meanwhile, man and nature are not simply a demanding relationship, but an interactive relationship. Human beings are part of nature and need to protect nature and return to nature. The "energy ring" embodies the interest of electricity as an important energy source used by humans and carrying out energy circulation. It also embodies the interaction and dependence between man and nature, as well as the positive philosophical meaning of people take the initiative to understand, utilize and integrate into nature. As the main transportation space and communication space of the library, the "Energy Ring" arc-shaped sharing hall not only fulfills its functional significance, but also realizes the cultural value of educating people in the library space.Save this picture!Save this picture!Through the "Energy Ring" library, the campus buildings have a closer symbiotic relationship with the mountains and rivers. The campus's humanistic characteristics interact with the natural environment of mountains and rivers, expressing the characteristics of the electric power discipline easily and interestingly and embodying the positive and harmonious relationship between man and nature also carries the unique cultural significance of the campus. With the dynamic and ecologically interesting "Energy ring" library, architects explored an innovative path to create more distinctive educational buildings through spatial translation with subject characteristics and philosophical meanings, and used this to break the one side of thousands of schools and create a more interesting future campus.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Chongqing, ChinaLocation to be used only as a reference.

    Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Gets $30 Price Cut For Black Friday
    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom $40 (was $70) See at Best Buy See at Target See at Walmart Tears of the Kingdom Collector's Edition Guide $26.85 (was $45) | Eligible for Buy Two, Get One Free See at Amazon PowerA The Legend of Zelda Wireless Controller $25 (was $45) See at Amazon The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of the Switch's must-play games, and now it's available for its lowest price yet at major retailers. Best Buy and Target have Tears of the Kingdom's physical edition for only $40, saving you $30. Tears of the Kingdom is part of Nintendo's official Black Friday lineup, but the expectation was that it would cost $50. Like many Nintendo games, Tears of the Kingdom is rarely marked down, so we wouldn't be surprised if retailers sold out before Black Friday sales end. Especially because it will be a popular choice for holiday shoppers who pick up a Switch console bundle for the ridiculously low price of $225.The extra $10 off is a nice surprise, though you could possibly save even more. Walmart will have Tears of the Kingdom for $30 tomorrow, November 25, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. The deal coincides with the launch of Walmart's Black Friday week deals. The catch here is that the offer is exclusive to paid Walmart+ subscribers until 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. There's a very good chance it sells out before the deal opens up to everyone, but if you have a subscription already, make sure to check Walmart's listing when the sale begins to snag a copy.Continue Reading at GameSpot
