Production Of 'The Batman' Halted Temporarily After Positive COVID-19 Test
A couple weekends ago, DC FanDome, a virtual convention, got people more excited for The Batman film starring Robert Pattinson. The casting of this actor was a questionable choice in the eyes of those who only knew him as Edward Cullen from The Twilight Saga. However, more people were won over. Thanks to a teaser trailer that came out of The Batman panel at DC FanDome, enthusiasm over the film rose. The teaser impressed people despite only 25-30% of the film having been shot by then. It also helps that Matt Reeves talked all about what we could expect in this upcoming film, which is more of a detective story than any previous Batman film. We also know that it would take place a year and a half after Batman’s first appearance and sometime during year two of Batman’s career as a crimefighter.

13 Productions That Plan To Restart Hollywood In Atlanta During COVID Part II Covid-19 is not over yet, however after months of planning, some industries are trying to work within the pandemic as safe as possible. Earlier this summer, I named 9 productions looking to restart Hollywood in Atlanta. Some of those productions have filmed and wrapped, while others were delayed yet again. A couple even decided to leave Georgia, and the United States entirely and film in Canada. Most of the entertainment industry were trying to resume a bevy of productions by September, and here we are in the first week of the month. Listed below are 13 major productions (from cable to streaming to feature films) that are looking to start in the next 45 days. Of course, this is subject to change barring any significant rise in covid numbers, health of production personnel and cast, or any civic mandate orders. Part III will come out October 1.

I watched the movie, Black Panther, once and swore that was the only time I would. I was not taken in by the hype. For me, it was no different from the usual Hollywood propaganda films about Black people with its Black on Black violence, dismissal of Pan-Africanism, Trumpesque nationalism and white fragility, white saviour undertone. It was more a film to satisfy white fragility...special effects a huge distraction...that was just my opinion.
Donna MattisPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy First 'Celebrity' Crush
The year was 1989. The year a gallon of gas cost 97 cents, Nintendo released the Gameboy, Microsoft Office was released, the first episodes of The Simpsons were shown, and The Little Mermaid came out. New Kids on the Block, Paul McCartney, and Elvis Costello were all the rave that year. It was the year that Ronald Regan handed over the White House to George H.W. Bush. I was a mere 9 years old, and my absolute favorite thing to do was play Nintendo. Super Mario Bros. was my favorite game. Me and my brother would spend hours playing it over and over, giving ourselves different challenges each time. Sometimes we would get all the coins, sometimes no coins, or we would see how fast we could beat the entire game~different challenges like that. I think the quickest we ever beat the game was somewhere around 9 minutes. I did other things to...I liked to write, I played house, and I organized my drawers. Anyway, I didn't get out much.
My Heart Will Definitely Go On
The world as I knew it would change in the year 1997. I was 10 years old and obsessed over historical documentaries. I know what you’re thinking, “What a little nerd,” but it’s true. My family always thought of me as the “black sheep.” I didn’t act like the other little girls of the late 90’s. I would lock myself up in my room and pop in the newest A&E historical documentary VHS tape that I found at the library. I guess you could say, I was a little different.

Jackie NugaraPublished 4 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Guide to: "The Dark Knight" (2008)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we are going to explore some of the films that have changed our outlook of the possibilities in cinema in some way, shape or form. These can include, but are not limited to: revolutionary cinematography, narratives that challenge the social structure and the common view, trademark styles of auter cinema, brilliant adaptations of novels and other works, films of philosophical value and films that touch our hearts and souls with their incredible underlying messages and morals. Within each of the films in this chapter there is a certain something that makes them special and a certain something that makes them linger long after we have watched them for the first time. Lasting impressions are difficult to create, but I think that the films we will briefly touch on in this chapter are some of the films we will never ever forget.
