CD Projekt Red Reports Major Profit And Revenue Growth Year-On-Year

CD Projekt Red has released its earnings report for 2022, and it’s looking good for the Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 developer. The company boasted a 66% increase in net profit, driven by an increase in revenue, and a decrease in CDPR’s overall operating costs.

The Polish company reported a revenue of 953 million PLN ($222 million USD) in 2022, up from 888 million PLN ($207 million USD) the previous year, and a net profit of 347 million PLN ($81 million USD), up from 209 million PLN ($49 million USD) in 2021. Despite the upwards trend, CDPR hasn’t managed to hit the same level of success it saw in 2020, when Cyberpunk 2077’s release caused a massive revenue spike that took its yearly profit to a massive 1.15 billion PLN ($268 million USD).

Halloween Ends' Kyle Richards Originally Wasn't Going To Be In The Movie

One of the surprising highlights of 2021’s Halloween Kills was the return of Kyle Richards as Lindsay, a character she played in the 1978 original. While so much of the Halloween franchise has been about the aftermath of that horrible night for Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), Halloween Kills reminded us that she wasn’t then only one terrorized by Michael Myers back then. With that in mind, it made perfect sense when it was revealed that Richards would figure, once again, into the final chapter of this current trilogy of films, Halloween Ends. As revealed by the actress herself, though, that wasn’t originally the case.

“I was originally not in Halloween Ends,” Richards told GameSpot. “They wrote me into the already written script after Halloween Kills.”

While, ultimately, Lindsay doesn’t play a major role in the new film, Richards notes she was “just grateful to be a part of it in whatever capacity.” What’s more, she was plenty happy to “ge…

James Wan In Talks For Creature From The Black Lagoon Reboot

This year marks the 70th anniversary of Creature from the Black Lagoon, a film that introduced one of the few Universal Monsters who hasn’t been endlessly remade. But the Gill-man may finally be getting a chance for a comeback, with reports that horror veteran James Wan is in negotiations to direct and produce a new Creature from the Black Lagoon remake.

Via Deadline, Wan’s take on Creature from the Black Lagoon will be “a grounded modernized retelling that leans into visceral horror while paying respect to the original classic.” In the 1954 original, Ben Chapman and Ricou Browning played the Gill-man, a creature of unknown origin who ran afoul of an expedition in the Amazon. The creature also displayed a very obvious infatuation with a young woman named Kay Lawrence (Julia Adams), who did not return his affections.

Two sequels to the original film were made, but there hasn’t been a new Creature from the Black Lagoon movie in nearly six decades. Numerous directors have a…
