It’s never been easier to play Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, especially for those with an Xbox and Game Pass. Benefits like FPS Boost – which makes games that traditionally run at 30 frames-per-second run at a smoother 60fps – and native 4K are possible on Xbox Series X and S thanks to backwards compatibility enhancements, but it’s not quite so straightforward if you’re playing on PC.
New action movie Monkey Man was "dead in the water in a certain way" before Get Out's Jordan Peele came on-board
03.04.2024 - 10:41 / gamesradar.com
Dev Patel’s gritty, gory revenge thriller Monkey Man is soon releasing in cinemas, and is set to unleash a full sensory assault on audiences. But it wasn’t always destined for a theatrical release.
The film marks Patel’s debut as a director and he also stars in the film as Kid, a man hellbent on violent revenge against the unjustly, corrupt powers in a fictional Indian city. At an earlier point, Monkey Man was destined for a streaming release, though Get Out director Jordan Peele later became involved as a producer via his company Monkeypaw Productions - and now the film is now getting a global theatrical release.
When asked about the change in the release plans by GamesRadar+ and the Inside Total Film podcast, Peele responds, “Well, it may have been sort of dead in the water in a certain way. Dev came to us with the film…”
“It wasn’t a streaming film,” cuts in Patel. “It was kind of like a dead, stagnant pond.”
“A stagnant pond,” continues Peele. “He came in, and showed it to us. We instantly saw exactly what he was doing. It was very clear - and it was very clear that he had been on a very long and difficult journey with the film. I think maybe he just didn’t realize how unbelievably awesome it was.
“And when we got into the edit together, he made, I think some decisions that really spoke and emphasized this idea that it’s going to be a theatrical release. There’s pieces of music that the whole audience’s head is going to be bobbing to, you know, and this kind of thing. The work he did with the sound, you know, to make a dynamic soundscape, is very theatrically forward.”
Although Get Out and Nope director Peele became involved in the post-production stage after the film had been shot, there was still room to have an influence at that point in time. “Everybody in the process has influence on the project,” explains Peele, “and it’s Dev’s responsibility to choose what to take from who. As a producer, when I’m talking to Dev, I like to talk to Dev as giving my advice, but not as a producer, just as a human being, telling him how my experience of watching what he puts forward is, just as an audience member.

"That’s all I can ultimately expect, is that he hears me as an audience member, more than anything else.”
Monkey Man opens in UK and US theaters on 5 April. For more from Patel and Peele, check out the upcoming episode of the Inside Total Film podcast that drops later this week.

The best limited series to watch on Netflix
Is there anything sweeter than a perfect limited series? A crisp, contained story that knows exactly what it’s trying to tell and metes out only the space needed to tell it? In an age when IP is king and there’s always at least a question of how a story could continue, a miniseries is certainly a vulnerable species, especially if it’s high-quality.
