With the coronavirus pandemic still raging, when will The Batman, Marvel's Shangi-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Matrix 4, Jurassic World: Dominion, Mission: Impossible 7, and other major releases slated for 2021 resume production? And when will projects such as Uncharted and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness be able to even start filming given the industry-wide shutdown? No movies will be able to resume or begin production until local governments lift bans on gatherings of more than 10 people. According to a source for Variety, it's expected that the first productions to resume will be those filming in the U.S. given that "the prospect of filming overseas presents too many logistical challenges given the global nature of COVID-19." Variety reports that studios have informed talent and their representatives that they don't expect delayed productions to resume "until mid-May at the earliest. ... But even May could be overly optimistic — the pandemic is not expected to reach its apex in major production hubs like New York City until the end of April." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] For Warner Bros., The Batman had already been filming for almost seven weeks in England when production was halted for what was initially only expected to be two weeks, while The Matrix 4 had completed filming in San Francisco and was bound for Berlin when the hiatus took effect. Paramount's Mission: Impossible 7 was about to shoot in Italy when the COVID-19 outbreak ravaged that country. Variety points out that production delays are causing scheduling issues for talent attached to star in other productions slated to begin filming later this year. Production start dates on those later films may have to be pushed and roles, both major and supporting, may need to be recast. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/04/the-batmans-matt-reeves-reveals-the-new-batmobile-ign-now] Uncharted, starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, was poised to begin filming in Berlin when production was put on hiatus. Holland was expected to segue from Uncharted to begin filming the third Spider-Man movie in July. Meanwhile, Marvel’s Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness reportedly hasn't shifted its start date and remains slated to begin filming in June.

Multiple reports say that Apple is developing its own VR and AR technology, and images of what may be Apple's headset controller have now surfaced. MacRumors posted an image of a black remote that looks very similar to the HTC Vive Focus' controller, which was released in 2018. The similarity to HTC's controller seemingly matches reports that Apple engineers were testing VR technology with HTC Vive hardware. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/01/iphone-11-pro-review"] In addition to the controller, Apple is also reportedly experimenting with a "crosswalk bowling" augmented reality experience. This game apparently simulates a virtual bowling experience across real-world crosswalks using AR technology. Players roll a virtual bowling ball at virtual pins placed on the opposite end of the crosswalk. Reports say the bowling game is only currently accessible near an Apple office in Sunnyvale, California, meant for Apple engineers to play and test while waiting to cross the street. Last November, a report said that Apple is planning on jumping into the VR and AR headset wars by 2021 or 2022. Additionally, Apple reportedly plans to release a pair of AR glasses in 2023.

Or, check out our review of Half-Life: Alyx, which we called a game "that the rest of VR gaming will likely take a good long while to match, much less surpass."

The New Mutants' Anya Taylor-Joy is reportedly up a role in George Miller's Furiosa spin-off set in the Max Max: Fury Road universe. Variety released a report detailing what some movie productions are doing in the face of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. At the end of their report, they said Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller has been meeting with several names for his Furiosa spin-off, with one of those names being Taylor-Joy. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-25-best-sci-fi-movies&captions=true"] "Most executives don't expect things to get back to normal for several weeks, though a few are taking video and phone meetings as they try to game out films they hope to green light in the next 12 months," the Variety report reads. "Director George Miller, for instance, has been meeting with names including Anya Taylor-Joy for his 'Furiosa' spin-off, which he hopes to start shooting in 2021. Of course, Miller is making concessions to coronavirus — those auditions have taken place via Skype." If Variety is correct, this is the first we've heard of anything more than a general interest from Miller. Back in 2017, the director said another movie in the Mad Max universe could explore more of the character of Furiosa. "She's a pretty compelling character so it'd be great to tell her story," Miller said. "Her backstory is pretty interesting, we only allude to it in this movie (Mad Max: Fury Road). This movie is on the run, people don't have much time for recreational talk. You have a sense of her having gone through stuff, that's what the movie is trying to do. You know, you're trying to put a lot of iceberg under the tip, I like saying." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/01/07/george-miller-interested-in-making-a-furiosa-movie-ign-news"] A Furiosa spin-off movie could explore the rest of that iceberg and Taylor-Joy might be along for the ride. Who the actor would play, though, is unknown. If she gets the role, perhaps we'd see that character in the sequel to Fury Road. We do know, however, that we won't be seeing Furiosa in that sequel. Here are some ways to help others and stay safe during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

An expansive conversion mod for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild turns the game into a NieR: Automata hybrid, with 2B as the star. The NieR: Automata mod pack created by modder Lady Luna swaps out Link's character model for everybody's favourite android queen 2B, complete with blindfold and gigantic sword. Bear in mind that this mod isn't officially sanctioned and isn't operating on the original Switch hardware. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=nier-automata-in-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-conversion-mod&captions=true"] You can see the mod pack in action thanks to this YouTube video from user Lbags. It's quite startling just how much has been changed here, from the menu art to the glider, which has been swapped out for two of Automata's famous pods. Loveable vendor Emil even makes an appearance, trading places with Breath of the Wild's monster parts merchant. The soundtrack has also been implemented, and songs like Memories of Dust and Pascal accompany your travels through Gerudo Town and Korok Forest respectively. As well as replacing music, the mod grafts in almost every weapon from NieR: Automata to pile on the immersion. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/03/06/nier-automata-review"] This is just one corner of the weird and wonderful world of Breath of the Wild mods, which includes other protagonist swaps including Woody from Toy Story and C.J From Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas... For more Breath of the Wild news, check out these images showing how Nintendo made the haunting trailer for Breath of the Wild 2.
