Leslie Phillips, a British actor best known for his roles in the Carry On film series and the Harry Potter series, has passed away at the age of 98. According to his agent Jonathan Lloyd, Phillips passed away “peacefully in his sleep” on Monday, according to the PA news agency.

What He’s Known For

Despite being well known for playing upper-class scumbags, Phillips was actually born in the northern London borough of Tottenham and spoke with a strong working-class accent growing up. While attending the famed Italia Conti Stage School to study drama, dancing, and elocution, he lost his accent.

Leaving a Lasting Impression

His earliest film roles were in the 1930s, but he didn’t get his big break until well after the war, when he served as a lieutenant in the Durham Light Infantry, in the musical Les Girls with Gene Kelly. He declined the chance to relocate to Hollywood and stayed in Britain instead, where he went on to star in three Carry On movies. His suggestive catchphrases helped him become well-known: “Ding Dong!” “I say!” and “Well, hello.”

Although Phillips voiced the sorting hat in the Harry Potter films, which matched Hogwarts students with one of four school houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin, younger generations would be more familiar with Phillips’ voice from those films. All of us will greatly miss him, and may he rest in peace.

It was recently made public that Lionsgate, the studio that makes the John Wick movies, is “fielding proposals” for a prospective AAA John Wick game. It’s about time, and we believe that everyone can’t wait to see what a John Wick game would look and feel like.

Some Interesting Plans

According to Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer, who stated: “We certainly are interested in moving that forward, but I don’t want to say anything more about that at this time.” So, it’s not exactly nailed down and definitely happening, but fingers crossed that sometime soon it could become reality.”

Huge Efforts

TeaserPlay, a YouTube creator, has a surprise for all of us. They’ve made a concept trailer for an open-world John Wick action game using Unreal Engine 5, and it looks amazing.

A popular EA series that blended fighting and hip hop has been inactive for some time. Def Jam: Icon, the company’s last real fighting game, was released in 2007, but fans have been wishing for a revival ever since.

What They Can Do

In order to show EA how much support there is for a new installment on contemporary systems, these same devoted fans have now made the decision to take matters into their own hands and start a petition. It’s been going very well so far.

Growing Strength

Over 8500 people have signed the petition to see a new Def Jam game on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, which was started by YouTube creator RAH GAMING. Many have also left comments expressing how much they would value the series’ return.

Ice-T also joined the Def Jam comeback earlier this year when he requested a Fight for New York revival on Twitter, predicting that it “would be a huge hit all over again.” He played a role in the game too, so knowing that he’d likely be open to developing a new installment if the chance presented itself is pretty reassuring.

Bethesda, the company behind Starfield and many iconic games, is now developing a new mobile game, however it’s not clear which of its well-known titles it will be based on.

A Huge Announcement

Todd Howard, executive producer at Bethesda and director of Starfield, disclosed that the company is creating another mobile game on the most recent episode of Lex Fridman’s podcast.

Something New

Howard was frank while discussing the conceptual differences between creating a game for a console and one for a mobile device: “Well we’ve done a few things, and we have a new mobile game that we’re working on that we haven’t announced yet that I am in love with.”

He made no other hints as to the game’s genre, release date, or other details, but he did suggest that it will be a longer experience rather than a game meant to be played in spurts.
