COME ON DOWN to celebrate, ridicule, and shake your head over America in this outlandish show where you could be the next contestant. America the Game Show.

Blumhouse Productions presents their latest thrill ride, Upgrade, from the director and writer Leigh Whannell. In the near future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. Grey (Logan Marshall-Green), a self-identified technophobe, has his world turned upside down. His only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant called Stem.
For years, Leigh Whannell was responsible writing the screenplays to the Saw and Insidious franchises. This weekend, Leigh has made the leap from horror to sci-fi with the film “Upgrade”. A brutal mugging leaves Grey Trace paralyzed in the hospital and his beloved wife dead. A billionaire inventor soon offers Trace a cure — an artificial intelligence implant called STEM that will enhance his body. Now able to walk, Grey finds that he also has superhuman strength and agility — skills he uses to seek revenge against the thugs who destroyed his life. I sat with Leigh to explore the usual movements, going from writing to directing and filming back home in Melbourne, Australia

In 2015, Joonas Suotamo worked with Peter Mayhew as they both played the famous wookie in the galaxy Chewbacca in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. By the time The Last Jedi came on to screen, Joonas has taken over the role. Now, he does something that very few Star Wars actors have done – played the past and future versions of their character. Suotamo suits up as we learn how Han and Chewie met in this Memorial Day weekend blockbuster “Solo: A Star Wars Story”. I was part of a online roundtable team to talk to Joonas to know all that is Chewbacca
