Versus Entertainment has brought on board Decentraland and Lumiere to develop metaverse and Nft angles for its ongoing film project “The Infinite Machine.”

Perhaps the most notable thing about Eden is how unremarkable it all feels. Don't get me wrong; this is a competently made thriller with some surprising and suspenseful moments, but it feels bogged down by a piecemeal script and cliché-driven characters. Despite some strong performances, Shyam Madiraju's film ends up feeling like a diluted blend of other movies. The result might just please the fan of testosterone-driven machismo, angry shouting and occasional punch-ups, but has little to offer a viewer searching for something new and interesting in the survival genre.

There’s always room for Cake – especially now that the wider cast list of this upcoming independent film has been announced. The comedy-drama from director Daniel Barnz (Won’t Back Down) will soon be heading before the cameras with Jennifer Aniston in the lead role, but with a varied resume – swinging wildly from the tedious Bounty Hunter to the excellent Good Girl – an Aniston movie can go either way. Ultimately, it’s the script and supporting cast that determines which end of the quality spectrum the film swings toward.
In that regard, things are looking very good for Cake. The story sees a woman (Aniston) become fascinated with the suicide of a member of her chronic pain support group. Digging deeper into the dead woman’s life, she develops a relationship with her widower, while dealing with her own tragedies.
