'Kung Fury 2' Sizzle Reel Of Arnold Schwarzenegger & Michael Fassbender Killing Nazis Leaked
Originally a 2015 crowd-funded 30-minute short-film by Swedish filmmaker David Sandberg, who also starred as Kung Fury, a supernaturally-imbued martial arts-kicking police officer, the 31-minute was a throwback to the 80s action films and arcade video games, with over-the-top action and green screen special effects.
Hailed by audiences who embraced the visual gags, intentionally old-fashioned visual effects, bad acting and nonsensical plot, the online short has since garnered over 40 million views and plans were made to create a full-length movie sequel. Production started in 2018 and while it was completed in 2024, release of the film, starring Schwarzenegger, Fassbender, and David Hasselhoff did not proceed due to legal issues with the film's financiers.
Over the weekend, the 10-minute reel, which reveals the new characters for the sequel, and much of the film's narrative was leaked online and while it has been taken down, copies started popping up everywhere.
The film's director and lead actor, David Sandberg, has told Variety that the sizzle reel contains spoilers for the film, unfinished visual effects and was never intended for public consumption. Footage shows the return of Adolf Hitler (Jorma Taccone) aka Kung Führer, an army of sci-fi rejects as new characters, a plot twist, and the return of Hasselhoff as Hoff 9000, a member of Fury's team who transforms into a car ala K.I.T.T from TV's Knight Rider that saw Hasselhoff as the lead.
'I hope at least people can see the passion that we poured into the movie, the world deserves to see it as it was meant to be seen. This movie has been held hostage for the past 5 years but I promise to keep fighting for it and make sure this film gets the chance it truly deserves.'

Season one debuted to critical acclaim and topped Netflix's global TV charts for weeks. The streamer has since greenlit two additional seasons to complete the trilogy's arc. While Netflix hasn't announced an official release date, season two is expected to premiere in 2026.

Microsoft Cancels 'Perfect Dark' Reboot, Shutters Development Studio
Xbox studio The Initiative has been shut down amid the latest wave of Microsoft layoffs, killing the troubled Perfect Dark reboot along with it. According to IGN's sources, over 9,000 staff at Microsoft are set to lose their jobs. Apart from The Initiative, sources also state that beloved British studio Rare has also seen a hit to personnel, with its long-in-development title Everwild being cancelled as a result. Additionally, Bethesda's London office, as well as Candy Crush studio King, have also been affected by the layoffs. Perfect Dark Zero (2005) This unfortunate news comes via a series of memos sent to Microsoft gaming staff, the first of which was from Xbox boss Phil Spencer, which read: Today we are sharing decisions that will impact colleagues across our organization. To position Gaming for enduring success and allow us to focus on strategic growth areas, we will end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft's lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness. Out of respect for those impacted today, the specifics of today's notifications and any organizational shifts will be shared by your team leaders in the coming days. While Spencer's message did not include specific details on which studios and staff were affected, a follow-up memo by head of Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty confirmed the cancellation of Perfect Dark and Everwild , and the shuttering of The Initiative, writing: Following Phil's note, I want to share more about the changes to the Studios business units. We have made the decision to stop development of Perfect Dark and Everwild as well as wind down several unannounced projects across our portfolio. As part of this, we are closing one of our studios, The Initiative. These decisions, along with other changes across our teams, reflect a broader effort to adjust priorities and focus resources to set up our teams for greater success within a changing industry landscape. We did not make these choices lightly, as each project and team represent years of effort, imagination, and commitment. Perfect Dark (2000) Perfect Dark originally released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64 and was a first-person shooter centred on agent Joanna Dark as she attempts to stop an extraterrestrial conspiracy. The Initiative, a studio formed by Xbox in 2018, was working on a modern reboot together with Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics. The first trailer for the Perfect Dark reboot was subsequently released in 2024 during the Xbox Showcase, featuring a sneak peek at gameplay, which featured a mix of slick traversal and first-person combat, alongside the reveal of returning protagonist Dark. The doomed project would then go radio silent, with a notable absence at this year's Xbox Showcase in June. It seems Microsoft is on a warpath as of late, making a huge number of cuts to its gaming teams since 2024, including laying off 1,900 staff in January that year, followed by the closing of developers Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin in May. Prior to the current layoffs, the most recent staff cuts occurred in May this year, when Microsoft let go of approximately 6,000 staff, amounting to 3% of its entire workforce.
