If you know about Marvel Comics’ X-Men, you’ll likely recognize the basics in the next Marvel Comics movie title to be confirmed this week: X-Force. This family of mutants comes as a sort of second-tier to the original X-Men team, they being one of the more popular to mature in the relatively large boom of off-shoots that appeared in the 1990′s. As with all Marvel Comics characters, these ladies and gentlemen persist, and as all those that’ve waited many, many years to see such a big-screen film made are well aware: Never Say Never with Marvel!
The report today comes from The Hollywood Reporter where they’ve gotten word from the writer of Kick-Ass 2 that he’s also attached to this next comic book adaptation. X-Force will be developed by 20th Century Fox while producer Lauren Shuler Donner is said to be producing the flick.
Donner you may remember from producing such X-Men films as X-Men (the original from 2000), X2, X-Men: Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and X-Men: First Class. And yes, that is the lot of them. She’s also attached as producer to the next X-Men film, X-Men: Days of Future Past as well as the currently floating Deadpool.
Good news is that though everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed red-suited assassin has been known to kick around a X-Force members from time to time, so there’s always the possibility that he’ll be appearing here in this first of what may very well be a new series of films.
X-Force has played host to quite a few characters from the Marvel Comics universe including a certain time-traveling relative of Jean Grey (or her clone therein) and Scott Summers: Cable. This fellow has been known to cavort with another black-eyed assassin: Domino, who in turn has been pals – if you can call it that – with Deadpool once or twice.
Those of you that are fans (or the opposite) of the depiction of Deadpool in the first Wolverine movie will be glad to hear rumblings aplenty of a relative re-boot of the Deadpool brand in this or the Deadpool movie as a stand-alone product. We shall see!
Release date unknown, actors for the film unknown, basically everything else is unknown as this very moment. Stay tuned!

A self-defense course will teach you how to use your keys as a weapon, but in practice, when you’re under attack and panicking, protecting yourself with a keyring isn’t as easy as it sounds. So the Hit, from Unikia, combines a loud audible panic alarm with a pop-up holder that turns a key into a switchblade that’s easier to wield as a weapon.

There are many things that we take for granted in this world. For instance, when we want to know the time, it takes little more than a casual glance as your phone, wrist, or a nearby clock. But what about those people who have lost the ability to see? Sure, there are watches that will announce the time, but what if they don’t want to disturb others around them while they find out the time? Well, now there is a watch that’s been designed with these things in mind.
The Bradley is a new watch that takes traditional elements, and utilizes them in a way that can be read simply by touch. First, you have a regular watch face with raised bars at each hour. Inside of those is a single ball moving around a circular track. By feeling it, and the nearby bars, you can tell the minute. Another ball moves around the edge of the watch, and can be used to find the hour.
Each of the two balls is held in place by a magnet, which means that even if you manage to bump or move the bearings, they will snap back into their proper place. The face is constructed from titanium, while the straps are a combination of cotton fabric and leather. If you’ve been looking for a watch that can be used without looking at it, or are just in the market for something unique, then you can pre-order one by backing the Kickstarter fund (which has already surpassed its goal several times over) with $128.

Previously, astronomers had been under the impression that the heavy elements—gold, platinum, lead, uranium, etc.—came from supernova explosions. But now, scientists have announced a new theory for these highly valuable elements, this one involving two ultra-dense neutron stars and one spectacularly violent, grossly expensive collision.

It’s not the most in-depth bit of photography you’ll see today, but for those of you looking to see the PlayStation 4 as it sits in the hands of developers across the planet this summer, this may well be the best you’re going to get. What we’re looking at below (below the first image, that is) is a “leaked” image of the PlayStation 4′s front – or back – not that it matters – as photographed by an intrepid attendee of either Jimmy Fallon‘s showing of said device or E3 2013.
Now we just need to bust open a cabinet at SDCC and we’ll see if they all match! These developer units use the most basic of basics for their outer casing, showing LED lights for on-states and big ol’ bumpers here and there so no drops can harm it. Not that you’ll be wanting to explain to Sony how you dropped your early edition of the PlayStation 4, mind you, but it does seem more hardcore than your average built-it-yourself PC.
Below you’re seeing the image “leaked” today via Gizmodo with a couple different units complete with high-tech tape telling their contents. Above you’re seeing the developer unit shown back in February which was originally only given attention due to its inclusion of the new dual-shock controller. Always remember to look at the whole image!
And for those of you that want to see the final PlayStation 4 hardware – at least as far as Sony’s shared thus far – there’s this sharp piece of work right here. We’ve had our own close-up look at the PlayStation 4 more than once, complete with toggle-less lights and edges so sharp they’ll cut your face open. Make sure you stay tuned as we see how this device fares a the biggest comic convention of the year!
