Space Force is coming back for season 2 on Netflix with some changes behind-the-scenes. The show is expected to film in 2021, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Norm Hiscock, a producer for King of the Hill, Parks and Recreation, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, will now serve as co-showrunner with Greg Daniels. Comedian Jimmy O. Yang, who acts on Space Force and used to act on Silicon Valley, is also joining the show as a writer. Cast members Steve Carell, John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz, Tawny Newsome, Diana Silvers, and Yang are all returning to act in season 2. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/02/new-to-netflix-for-november-2020"] Netflix said on Twitter that 40 million members watched at least the first two minutes of Space Force in the first month the show was on the service. Critically, Space Force sits at a 38% "Rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. IGN's Space Force season 1 review said the show is "a topical cosmic farce clumsily mixed with a family drama." The news comes as another Carell show, The Office, is leaving Netflix for Peacock in January 2021. THR says that The Office "often" brings in more viewers than Netflix's original programs. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-comedies-on-netflix-right-now&captions=true"] Space Force is a comedy based on United States President Donald Trump's newly-created branch of the military, which is called Space Force. Even though Netflix obviously announced the show after Trump's announcement, the streaming service did a much better job securing the "Space Force" trademark. Anybody looking for good comedies on Netflix might want to check out Airplane!, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, or any of these other great comedy movies on Netflix.

Zack Snyder says he only plans on filming four new minutes worth of footage for his new cut of Justice League. Snyder appeared on Beyond the Trailer (via Collider) and said that there really isn't much extra to film for his four-hour cut of Justice League. “I will say that in the end it’s going to probably be about four minutes or five minutes of additional photography for the entire movie,” Snyder said. “In the four hours that is Justice League, maybe four minutes.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/23/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-trailer-breakdown"] There have been reports that Jared Leto will reprise his role as the Joker and Joe Manganiello is filming new scenes as Deathstroke for this new cut of Justice League. Henry Cavill has said he is not part of the reshoots, but Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher, and Gal Gadot reportedly are back for one week of filming. The head of HBO Max previously said that finishing up Snyder's cut would cost over $30 million, according to IndieWire, with The Wrap projecting a budget of about $70 million. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=justice-league-snyder-cut-all-the-known-differences-from-the-theatrical-version&captions=true"] Here is a list of all the known changes from the theatrical edition that are known so far, including new music, new character designs, and the addition of Darkseid. Snyder says he already has plans for a Justice League sequel, but WarnerMedia hasn't announced any future for Justice League beyond the new Snyder cut. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Petey Oneto is a freelance writer for IGN who is very, very curious to see this new version of Justice League.

The Star Wars galaxy might be far, far away, but it’s composed of a surprisingly tight-knit group of collaborators. For example, Janina Gavankar, who starred as Iden Versio in Star Wars: Battlefront 2, had a small part in the most recent episode of The Mandalorian. But not as Iden. Instead, Gavankar helped puppeteer a Mon Calamari's nostrils. The most recent episode of The Mandalorian finds our stoic Baby Yoda dad hanging out with some new acquaintances and a Mon Calamari. This is where you’ll — well not "see" per se — but see Gavankar's work as the second puppeteer of the nostrils on this Mon Calamari. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-actor-and-character-in-the-mandalorian&captions=true"] In a phone call with IGN, Gavankar shared how she wound up on the set of the most recent episode of The Mandalorian, "The Heiress," where she helped puppeteer a special effect on the show. As it turns out, the effects for the Mon Calamari were handled by special effects wizard Frank Ippolito of Thingergy Inc. Ippolito and Gavankar go way back, having worked on eight different projects together and even winning a Jury Award for “Creature Effects” at SXSW for Gavankar’s short film Stucco. “[Ippolito] is one of the many special effects artists that work on The Mandalorian,” Gavankar says. And Ippolito was one of the makers and actors behind a Mon Calamari seen in the teaser trailer for The Heiress. The one putting their hands on their hips while the trailer cuts to the Razor Crest seemingly crash landing.

“There is a Mon Calamari who puts their hands on their hips. That’s Frank Ippolito who’s inside that rig. He made that headpiece and it takes two puppeteers to animate it,” Gavankar revealed. “And they needed a second puppeteer to just handle the nostrils of this character. And [Ippolito] called me and he said, ‘Do you want to come puppeteer the nostrils of this Mon Calamari?’” “And I said ‘f**k yes.’” Gavankar's arrival on the set turned many heads including David Filoni who recognized Gavankar but didn't realize the purpose of her visit on set. When Gavankar revealed she was there as a puppeteer, she says the response she got from Filoni was "one of those 'of course you are,' kind of things." [caption id="attachment_2438457" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Not seen: Gavankar puppeteering a nostril.[/caption] So yes, when you see the Mon Calamari’s nostrils in the latest Manadlorian episode, remember that it is the work of Iden Versio, or rather her actor Janina Gavankar. Gavankar does say she would love to reprise the role of Iden if asked to by LucasFilms. "We know how she dies but we don't know about the years in between. There's a lot of life there so if anybody asks me to come back and play [Iden] I'd be delighted to do so."

Update 2:  The Service de police de la Ville de Montreal (SPVM) has issued a statement regarding the incident that took place today at the Saint-Laurent Boulevard office building where Ubisoft Montreal is based. In a short statement, the SPVM said it "deployed a large number of resources to answer a call for a hostage situation in a Saint-Laurent Boulevard office building." "The perimeter was quickly secured and the SPVM confirms that no threat has been detected and no injuries are reported." Investigators are now taking the statement of the evacuees from the building and are attempting to find out the origins of "the call behind this important police force deployment." In a second statement, Ubisoft Montreal says: "We want to salute the courage and composure our teams showed today, our focus remains on ensuring their health and wellbeing. We would also like to thank the SPVM for their quick and professional response, helping to bring the situation under control."

Update 1: The Montreal police are now evacuating the building after identifying no threats. IGN will have more updates as the situation continues to unfold.

No threat has been identified for now. We are currently evacuating the building. #SPVM https://t.co/7g7eHU2B1T

[poilib element="accentDivider"] Original Story: Canadian news outlets are reporting a police situation taking place at the building where Ubisoft Montreal is based. Montreal PD has confirmed there is a police operation in the sector where the offices are located but didn’t provide any further details. IGN reached out to the Montreal Police’s media box where an automated briefing said a “police operation” is happening at the location of Saint-Laurent and St-Vieateur, but that they are still verifying the situation. The Montreal police added that people should “avoid the sector.”

"We are aware of the situation and working with local authorities," a Ubisoft representative said in a short statement to IGN. Montreal PD has issued a follow-up saying specialized officers are on-site inspecting the premise, but no injuries have been reported.

Officers have been sent to the location following a 911 call. Specialized #SPVM officers are on site inspecting the premises. There are no injuries reported. https://t.co/omrH0sYHbQ

The news first began when Ubisoft Montreal employees started sharing about a possible situation at the Montreal office. Ubisoft senior community director Eric Pope alerted social media about a police situation unfolding at the offices, though it was unclear at the time what the situation was about. There was much confusion about the event, especially since the first reports from Canadian outlets like the Montreal Journal first reported a possible hostage situation where Ubisoft’s offices are located, on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in the Mile End area of Montreal. The Montreal police did not confirm any details beyond a police operation, however, and there was no mention of any hostage situation. Ubisoft employees were filmed protecting themselves on the roof of their office building, and images of the scene were widely circulated online. Ubisoft Montreal employees shared updates on their safety online. While some Ubisoft Montreal employees are still working from home, others who have been in the office have provided updates on social media.

I’m safe, team here is safe, going home.

I am safe. My thoughts are with my teammates in the office today. Please be safe.

A Darkwing Duck reboot is in early development and will be headed to Disney Plus.

According to Variety, the reboot has no writer currently attached but is reportedly being executive produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, and Alex McAtee of Point Grey Pictures, the production company behind Amazon’s The Boys, The Disaster Artist, Sausage Party, and This is the End.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/15/ducktales-exclusive-darkwing-duck-clip"]

Darkwing Duck originally premiered in 1991, telling the story of Drake Mallard, his adopted daughter Gosalyn, and his sidekick Launchpad McQuack, who was also in DuckTales. It ran for three seasons encompassing 91 episodes

The series riffed on superhero culture as Darkwing Duck and company routinely fought against evildoers. The series ended in 1992, with a number of comics published throughout the 1990s and 2010s, a Darkwing Duck NES game, and a cameo in the 2017 DuckTales reboot, which you can watch above.

There’s currently no word on who will voice Darkwing Duck or other series characters. Jim Cummings (Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Star Wars’ Hondo Ohnaka) originally voiced Darkwing Duck.

Disney Plus is rolling ahead with other continuations of cult favorite franchises, including an announced Willow sequel starring Warwick Davis.

A live-action reboot of 2002's Lilo & Stitch was announced earlier this year and it seems Disney is circling John M. Chu to direct, According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Crazy Rich Asians director is in negotiations with Disney to direct a live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch for the company, but it's unclear if this movie would go to theaters or straight to Disney+. We learned earlier this year that this Lilo & Stitch will be a live-action/CGI hybrid movie and filmed in Hawaii, which is also where the movie takes place. It was reported at the time that the original voice of Stitch, Chris Sanders, was expected to reprise the role for this film. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-upcoming-disney-live-action-remake&captions=true"] THR's report says that Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of production company Rideback are going to produce the movie with Rideback's Ryan Halprin set to executive produce. Rideback is the company behind Disney's live-action Aladdin remake, which earned over $1 billion at the box office in 2019 and secured a green light for a sequel. Mike Van Waes has written a draft for this Lilo & Stitch remake, but it's important to note that the movie hasn't officially been given the green light and is still in development. Lilo & Stitch is about a lonely girl named Lilo who discovers a blue alien named Stitch on the run from intergalactic forces. The two become friends and Lilo tries to stop the intergalactic forces from ripping Stitch out of her Ohana, which means family. Oh, and there's a lot of Elvis Presley music too. When the original animated movie released in 2002, it grossed $273 million at the box office from a budget of $80 million. This success led to video games, sequels, spin-offs, and an animated TV series for Disney Channel.
