Although it's been nearly two decades since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released and transformed the Call of Duty franchise from Medal of Honor 's chief rival into the blockbuster powerhouse it is today, the FPS series is still rolling along. This October will see the release of its 23rd mainline installment, the somewhat confusingly-named Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 , featuring two parallel stories following series protagonist Captain Price and a new soldier in South Korea, Private Park, played by The Last of Us Season 2 star Young Mazino . Perhaps even more buzzworthy, however, is that the franchise is finally getting the feature film treatment at Paramount from Peter Berg and Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan and will deploy in theaters on June 30, 2028. For all the action that's happening now, though, the general consensus is that the franchise's best days are past it.

ABC has had to make some tough calls with its primetime lineup in recent years, and Big Sky remains one of the network’s more frustrating cancellations. This joins the likes of The Company You Keep and Alaska Daily as some of the more surprising cancellations, as these shows offered something unique in their concept. With Big Sky , a show that debuted in 2020, there was a lot that it offered, which allowed it to differentiate itself from the prototypical crime dramas. There also was a wealth of untapped stories, given that it was based on The Highway books created by C.J. Box . The show’s two leads, Katheryn Winnick and Kylie Bunbury , also added a new dimension to the series as they led the female-driven cast.

A US collector is selling two nearly-new Aston Martin Valhallas at once.

One of the two cars is painted in Ultra Yellow with optional carbon fiber.

In May, a delivery-mileage Valhalla sold for more than $600,000 over its MSRP.

Customer deliveries of the Aston Martin Valhalla only started a few months ago, and already one collector in the United States has decided it’s time to resell a pair. The collector is entrepreneur Milton Verret, and both of his Valhallas will be sold at next month’s Monterey Car Week.

There’s no word on why Verret is selling them, but he likely thinks he can turn a handy little profit. In May, the first known Valhalla to go to public auction sold for $2.2 million, an exceptional result given its MSRP of $1.47 million. Evidently, people are willing to pay a hefty premium to get behind the wheel of Aston Martin’s latest flagship.

Mecum Auctions

The first of the two Valhallas being sold by Mecum next month is painted in Ultra Yellow and contrasted with a black roof and exposed carbon fiber elements. It had an MSRP of $1,277,200 and includes more than $217,000 in options. Among these options are the $21,000 and $43,200 Satin 2×2 twill carbon fiber upper- and lower-exterior packages, as well as the Satin 2×2 twill carbon fiber seats and trim, worth $23,100.

Like the exterior, the interior is bold. It’s dominated by Oxford Tan semi-aniline leather with yellow embroidery and plenty of carbon fiber. A look at the digital instrument cluster reveals the car has been driven just 196 miles (315 km).

White On Orange

Mecum Auctions

The second Valhalla being sold from Verret’s collection is painted Speedway White and had an MSRP of $1,214,822 with over $151,500 in options. Bizarrely, it too has been driven exactly 196 miles (315 km), but eschews many of the other car’s exposed exterior carbon in favor of painted parts.

While the exterior is a little more restrained, the same can’t be said about the cabin. It is dominated by California Poppy orange and Onyx Black leather as part of a $14,400 option package. As you’d imagine, there’s also plenty of carbon fiber.

Nobody is particularly happy with Sony at the moment. From their plans to end physical PlayStation games production by 2028 to the removal of over 500 movies and television shows from buyers' libraries following the end of a licensing agreement with Studiocanal, they've raised many concerns about the future of physical media, preservation, and "ownership" of their titles. Nonetheless, the video game giant is attempting to roll on in a year full of big releases, including the event that is Grand Theft Auto VI and console exclusives like Marvel's Wolverine . One of their in-house banners, Santa Monica Studio, has acknowledged the move away from actual discs, though.
