In an interview with Variety, director Rupert Sanders stated in unambiguous terms that "safety is a number one priority." He elaborated that "film sets are very dangerous. There are fast moving cars with cranes stuck on the top. There are stunt guys falling on high wires down steps. Even just walking around a set at night with rain machines and lights — you’re working in an industrial environment. So it’s dangerous. You have to be safe."

Last week, we wrote about an upcoming TV project that caught our eye mostly on the basis of how incredibly weird it sounded, to our “Not actively involved in making either TV or video games” ears: Secret Level, a new animated anthology series created by Love, Death + Robots‘ Tim Miller, and set in the world of a number of existing video games. (Including The Outer Worlds, Unreal, Armored Core, and more.) That felt extremely strange to us, especially since it meant video game brands from a whole bunch of different studios would be getting smooshed together, which developers are usually kind of leery about. At the very least, we thought, it’d produce a weird trailer when it hit the Gamescom conference the following week.
