A New Harry Potter Augmented Reality Game
Niantic, the creators who brought us Pokémon GO, announced a new augmented reality game, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. With Wizards Unite, players will get the chance to experience the Wizarding World, learning spells, exploring “their real world neighborhoods and cities to discover & fight legendary beasts and team up with others to take down powerful enemies.” Niantic is partnering with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and WB Games. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
The Haunting Of Hill House Gets A Netflix Adaptation
Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House is getting the Netflix treatment. The adaptation will be a 10-episode limited series. Netflix is taking a different approach to the classic horror story–the series will focus on Steven Crane, an author who became famous for his books about growing up in Hill House. Michel Huisman (HBO’s Game of Thrones) will play Steven Crane, but little else, including a release date, has been announced.
