Baldur's Gate 3's cast and voice directors shared anecdotes from the game's development and launch, including fan interactions. The cast would love to see the Lord of the Rings franchise get a game in a similar vein to Baldur's Gate 3. Cast members have spent hours in character creation during their own playthroughs, praising the wealth of customization and its impact on the game.

Screen Rant attended two Baldur's Gate 3 panels at McM London Comic Con, the first of which focused on some of the cast and their voice directors, and the second of which was comprised entirely of cast members, particularly the voices of the Tavs, and those involved in the Dark Urge story.

Private letters from movie heartthrob James Dean to his then girlfriend, in which he criticises his latest Broadway show and speaks of being homesick as he films a box office hit, are to be sold at auction.

The handwritten notes to Barbara Glenn, whom he dated for two years, come from her family archive and have never been sold before.

Dean died in a car accident in 1955 as he was poised for major stardom, but continues to be a posterboy for Hollywood glamour.

The three letters are to be sold separately but are estimated to fetch a total of £16,000 when they are sold at Christie's in South Kensington, London, on November 23. The lots also include a number of photographs of the actor.
