Legendary Entertainment is partnering with Japanese animation studio Sunrise to develop a live-action film based on the popular Mobile Suit Gundam anime.

This week’s home entertainment offerings include the R-rated comedy Blockers and the savvy thriller Beirut , both of which deserved a wider audience than they received, along with a new high-definition collection of the most beautifully photographed films in Hollywood history, plus complete collections of the Grimm and Psych TV series.

Jasco Games has two licensed game releases planned for fall.

This week’s home entertainment releases include a fascinating/cerebral/ Lovecraftian science fiction film you may not have heard about, a superior neo-noir thriller that also may have eluded your attention, plus another convoluted noir with a stand-out performance from Margot Robbie, and the first season of the well-reviewed DC Comics-based superhero series Black Lightning .

Japanime Games will release Love Battle! High School , a competitive board game with a harem anime theme, in October.

This week’s home entertainment releases include the action-packed Pacific Rim: Uprising, a Steven Soderbergh film that was shot entirely on a iPhone, and my favorite film of the year so far, a wickedly dark satire from the creator of Veep that is based on a French graphic novel about the power struggle following the death of Stalin, plus the final season of the sci-fi series Dark Matter, and a new high-def restoration of the classic Tom Baker Doctor Who episodes.
