Variety confirmed last November that Brandy boarded the “Descendants” movie as Cinderella. At the time, the movie musical had the working title of “The Pocketwatch.” The film centers on the relationship between Red (Kylie Cantrall), the rebellious teenage daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe (Mia Baker), the cheerful but naive daughter of Cinderella and Prince Charming. The two must travel back in time to prevent the destruction of their home, the kingdom of Auradon.

Rita Ora is also starring in the film as the tyrannical Queen of Hearts. Additional cast members include China Anne McClain as Uma, daughter of “The Little Mermaid” sea witch Ursula; Morgan Dudley as Ella, the younger version of Cinderella; and Melanie Paxson as the Fairy Godmother, among others.

Disney’s “Descendants” franchise centers on the children of the studio’s most infamous villains. The 2015 original starred Dove Cameron and Sofia Carson and debuted on the Disney Channel to over 6 million viewers. Two sequel movies followed in 2017 and 2019.

Disney+ has yet to announce a release date for the film, which is directed by Jennifer Phang and written by Dan Frey and Russell Sommer.

Putting Yourself Into a Video Game for Free Just Got Way Easier!

One of the reasons video games are so popular is that they offer people a form of escape. Sure, drawing on an arsenal of weapons to take out the bad guys in "Assassin's Creed" is good fun. But most gamers aren't just gearing up for some real-life battle between groups of trained killers; they're just looking for a little respite from life as an office drone, for instance, or overloaded parent.

That yearning to escape may be no more clear than in a gamer's all-important choice of an avatar, the character or image that represents a real person in the video game world or on social media. Many folks go for something that resembles them physically, except maybe with bigger biceps, a smaller waist, more hair or just an all-around stronger sense of badassery.

We will put you in our next video game and make you famous, or at least Popologically popular!

SOME EDUCATION

New research shows that avatar images can even change the way people sculpt their own bodies in the real world, and another study looked at what gamers call themselves online can say about their real lives. Still, a group of video game techies at the University of Southern California is betting that many gamers would go for an avatar that reflects what's reflected in a mirror.

Researchers at USC's Institute for Creative Technologies recently released a package of free tools designed to help gamers create highly-personalized avatars based on scans of their own faces and bodies.

The technology works in concert with 3-D photo scanning programs like Skanect or KinectFusion. It uses a combination of tools to add skin, hair, clothing and other animation to a raw 3-D image. Gamers can then alter avatar bone structure, as well as height, weight, shoulders, waist size and other features. The tool realistically adjusts other parts of the body as this information is logged. Adding inches to a waist line, for example, will automatically increase chest size and direct the model to hunch over more.

Here's a video showing the tool in action:

David Dodge is a video game designer and producer who runs a computer programming boot camp for kids. He says the technology could have a “profound impact” on the gaming industry.

“While some gamers will continue to develop avatars as alter-egos and fantastical characters," says Dodge, "there is a large audience who will enjoy bringing increased personalization to their gaming experience and who will love portraying their own identity in the game.” He adds that personalized avatars are likely to be a big hit in multiplayer games, where groups of friends all participate together.

The USC program also empowers the avatars to run, jump and interact with objects within a game setting. The developers are currently fast at work on adding facial gesture capabilities to the package. The say users can already create and animate a 3-D version of themselves in as little as four minutes.

Now That's Interesting The term "avatar" comes from the the Sanskrit word for "descent," and is a religious term used in Hinduism and Sikhism to describe a deity's manifestation in the physical world.
