The Batman Production Halted for Two Weeks
In Kroll's chain, he also mentions that Fantastic Beasts 3 is still set to start filming on Monday. Also mentioned, James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, The Little Things (starring Denzel Washington), and Reminisce (starring Hugh Jackman, written directed by Westworld's Lisa Joy) have all finished filming and are now in post-production. DC films Black Adam and Aqauaman 2 haven't started production yet, and won't for a little while. Obviously, productions could come to a halt if Warner Bros. changes its mind. The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz, began filming in the U.K. at the end of January. The film's take on the Batmobile has many influences, from the comics to the original TV series. For more on the new movie, here's everything we know so far about The Batman.

Stranger Things Production Shut Down for Two Weeks Amid Coronavirus Concerns
"With the rapidly changing events related to COVID-19, and out of an abundance of caution, Warner Bros. Television Group is halting production on some of our 70-plus series and pilots currently filming or about to begin. There have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on any of our productions, but the health and safety of our employees, casts and crews remains our top priority. During this time, we will continue to follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control as well as local officials and public health professionals in each city where our productions are based.”[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Warner Bros. TV is far from the only studio putting a halt to production as all NBC, Amazon, FX, and Apple TV+ series are taking a break from filming as well. AMC has also stopped production on Fear the Walking Dead Season 6, until at least the week of April 13, while pre-production on Season 11 of The Walking Dead has also been delayed for a month, although the writers' room is still active and working on scripts. Meanwhile, here's a quick look at everything we know about Stranger Things: Season 4.

You Can Watch Frozen 2 Now on Disney+
Original Story: The Walt Disney Company has announced that it will be making Frozen 2 available on Disney+ three months early for "families during these challenging times." Frozen 2 will be officially become available in the U.S. beginning Sunday, March 15, and will be available in Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand on Tuesday, March 17. This welcome surprise arrives amidst the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic that is impacting the world, an event that has even forced Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney California Adventure to close through the end of the month. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/21/frozen-2-review"] “‘Frozen 2’ has captivated audiences around the world through its powerful themes of perseverance and the importance of family, messages that are incredibly relevant during this time, and we are pleased to be able to share this heartwarming story early with our Disney+ subscribers to enjoy at home on any device,” said Bob Chapek, Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company. Frozen 2 was made available digitally on February 11 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD on February 25. It was set to be released on Disney+ on June 26 before Disney made this move. Frozen 2, which is the highest-grossing animated film ever at $1.4 billion, was also the sixth Disney film to cross the billion dollar milestone. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] In our review of Frozen 2, we said it "is nothing if not ambitious, and like any big undertaking, that ambition comes with flaws. The beautiful world of Arendelle and beyond is a total joy to explore but a confusing subplot that can't quite commit to its radical intentions takes away from the power and the message of the film." This is much needed good news amidst all the other delays and cancellations that are affecting the film and TV industry. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us?
