2021

WELCOME Writer-director John Krasinski never intended to make a sequel to his 2018 sleeper hit, A Quiet Place . But an opportunity to further explore the film’s silent and terrifying world proved hard to resist, leading to A Quiet Place Part II – a quality sequel with all the suspense and scares that made the original worth shouting about. And talking of sequels, Peter Rabbit 2 releases this month and the film’s animation director at Sydney’s Animal Logic reveals the challenges involved in crafting a bigger follow- up. In gaming, the Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is coming to PS5 in August; we round-up all the news from the EA Play Live 2021 event; and bring you the latest gaming accessories hitting the shelves at JB. Electric rideables are quickly becoming a cost-effective alternative to the car in Australia, with more and more riders adopting this exciting mode of transport. Whether it’s an e-scooter, e-bike or e-skateboard, we’ve compiled the ultimate guide to rideables this month. And with Father’s Day fast approaching, if you’re searching for a pressie for that special person in your life, we’ve got all the best options in tech gifts covered. Our music cover celebrates the triumphant return of Kiwi songwriter Lorde, whose new album, Solar Power , is dropping later this month. And there are new albums from Don Was, Jungle and Shannon & The Clams, plus five more essential albums to add to your collection in the STACK Record Club. Paul Jones, Editor-in-Chief
