Disney has delayed the reopening of its Californian parks, with the state of California waiting to offer safety guidelines.

Prolific director and cinephile Quentin Tarantino was originally pitched on the idea of releasing his Oscar-winning Hateful Eight film on iPhones instead of theaters by NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell. In a new profile piece on Shell by The Wall Street Journal (via IndieWire), the CEO recalls a time when Tarantino was looking for financing for The Hateful Eight, which was difficult at the time, due to the director's desire to shoot the film in 70mm and retrofit theaters so they would be able to properly display the movie. According to the Wall Street Journal, "Jeff Shell, at the time the head of the Universal studio, voiced his own pitch. 'What if we released it on iPhones?' he said. 'Great,' Mr. Tarantino replied, and stormed out of the meeting." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2015/12/16/the-hateful-eight-review"] Tarantino would end up working with The Weinstein Company on The Hateful Eight, with the film going on to gross over $155 million at the worldwide box office and earn iconic composer Ennio Morricone his first Academy Award. While Shell's pitch may seem a bit unorthodox, the NBCUniversal boss has recently found financial success in the digital streaming space by thinking outside the box with the debut of Trolls World Tour, which made close to $100 million in online rental fees after skipping a theatrical release. This unexpected on-demand premiere sparked a feud between Universal and major movie theater chains, with AMC and Regal Entertainment refusing to play Universal movies once their cinemas reopen.

Hide your cows, folks - Universal is reportedly looking to reboot Twister, the iconic 1996 disaster film starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. According to Variety, which broke the news, Top Gun: Maverick helmer Joseph Kosinski is in talks to direct, with the search for a writer currently underway. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/07/26/disaster-movies-cinefix"] The original Twister - written by Jurassic Park mastermind Michael Crichton and his wife Anne-Marie Martin, and directed by Speed helmer Jan de Bont - centered around Paxton and Hunt's married storm-chasers, whose relationship was every bit as tumultuous as the tornadoes they tracked (it's a metaphor, see?). No word on whether the plot of the Twister reboot would tread similar ground or explore a whole new story, but chances are it'll be extreme. The original Twister sucked up $494 million worldwide on a budget of $92 million, and the film inspired a special effects attraction at the Universal Studios Florida theme park from 1998 through 2015 that featured appearances from Paxton and Hunt. (It was later replaced with a vastly inferior Jimmy Fallon ride, but that's neither here nor there.)

While Wonder Woman 1984 director Patty Jenkins has hinted at plans for a third movie in the series, it doesn't sound like that sequel will be happening right away. Jenkins spoke to Total Film Magazine (via Batman News), saying the COVID-19 pandemic has compelled her to stop and reassess her future plans for the DC film franchise, which includes both Wonder Woman 3 and a planned spinoff focused on the Amazons. “I’ve really hit the pause button," Jenkins told Total Film. "Because the truth is, where that plotline was coming from was our state of being six months ago. And so I want to make sure that I’m totally absorbing whatever the result of this pandemic is.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-dceu-movie-review-score&captions=true"] “We’re not starting to work on that movie right away,” Jenkins continued. “I’m hoping to do this Amazon movie before we do the third Wonder Woman. And I may not do either of them. You never know what will happen in this world, you know? But yes, I think the plotline will stay very similar, probably. But I want to make sure it’s influenced by all of this.” Previously, Jenkins indicated the third Wonder Woman movie won't be a period piece like its predecessors, but will instead take place in the present-day DC Universe. Wonder Woman 1984 is among numerous movies impacted by the pandemic. The long-awaited sequel has already been delayed multiple times, with the current release date set for October 2, 2020. But despite speculation regarding an SVOD release, Warner Bros. remains committed to a theatrical release for the film. While Wonder Woman 3 may be on the back-burner for now, the upcoming Flash movie may give us a better idea of the future scope of DC's cinematic universe. Michael Keaton is reportedly in talks to reprise his Batman role for that movie, setting the stage for Keaton's Batman to play a Nick Fury-like role in the DCEU. Perhaps this iconic Batman will have a part to play in Wonder Woman 3 as well?

Surgeon Simulator 2 will take the first game's brutally amusing cartoon operations, and add a much wider game around it - from larger, more varied levels, to 4-player co-op, to customisation, and even an entire level creation suite. In a game overview video revealed at IGN Expo today, we got a first look at the sequel's many additions, all set in the new Bossa Labs medical facility, a varied set of areas to unlock, featuring new items like the Anatomy Vendor, multiple new tools to operate with, and dozens of physics-enabled objects to accidentally knock over. Check out the gameplay video below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/24/surgeon-simulator-2-exclusive-gameplay-overview-trailer"] The video also introduces the game's four characters, Penny, Kamal, Heather and Milo, all of whom can be used in 4-player co-op, and can be customised with new costumes and a variety of finger ornaments. We also got a look at the Bossa Labs Creation Mode, which opens up the streamlined level creation tools used by the developers themselves. Level designs can run from medical, to sci-fi, to fantasy, and can be uploaded for other players to try. Pre-ordering the standard version of  the game on Epic Games Store will open up closed beta access and an exclusive Mad Scientist costume, with the Deluxe Edition offering more on top of that.

Henry Cavill is "excited" to finally see the Snyder Cut of Justice League, calling the journey to get there "quite the ordeal." In a chat with Sir Patrick Stewart for Variety's Actors on Actors, Cavill told the Star Trek icon he doesn't know much more about the Snyder Cut other than it's coming to HBO Max -- in “early to mid-2021,” according to HBO Max exec Sandra Dewey -- and that it represents Zack Snyder's "final vision" for the 2017 superhero film. “I think it’s important for a filmmaker and a storyteller to have their intended vision released and shown to the world, and I’m looking forward to seeing it myself. It’s been quite the ordeal,” Cavill said. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/21/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-official-hbo-max-announcement] Cavill explained to Stewart that with Justice League "there was a mix of visions and the movie wasn’t well-received. And then over the subsequent years, there was a big push to see the fabled Snyder Cut. And now that time has come, and I think it’s going to be very enjoyable to watch Zack finally release his version.” The Man of Steel actor -- who was recently rumored to be in talks to reprise the role of Superman in multiple upcoming DC movies -- also spoke of his love for the character, the responsibility he feels to playing an icon to children, and the possibility of playing Superman again. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-flash-movies-possible-dceu-cameos&captions=true"] "Because it’s such a wonderful character, it’s actually a responsibility I’m happy to have," Cavill said, adding, "and I hope that I get to play more of Superman in years to come.” For more Snyder Cut coverage, watch the first Darkseid clip and find out about some of the visual changes the movie will have from Justice League's theatrical release.
