  • Warner Bros. No Longer Developing Ava Duvernay’s ‘New Gods’

    Warner Bros. No Longer Developing Ava Duvernay’s ‘New Gods’

    Back in 2017, it was announced that development had begun on a film centered around the New Gods, a popular comic created by Jack Kirby, it’s now been confirmed via the Hollywood Reporter that the film is indeed not moving forward at this time. This move also includes the shelving of James Wan‘s Aquaman spin-off, The Trench. It seems that DC wants to refocus their Warner Bros had this to say about the recent decisions:

    As part of our DC slate, some legacy development titles including New Gods and The Trench will not be moving forward. We thank our partners Ava DuVernay, Tom King, James Wan, and Peter Safran for their time and collaboration during this process and look forward to our continued partnership with them on other DC stories. The projects will remain in their skillful hands if they were to move forward in the future.

    There had been little to no word on either project for quite some time. We’d heard that Tom King joined Duvernay on the project. He was co-writing it, but it went silent shortly after. The article states that Warner Bros couldn’t find a place to put the film on its release slate. It seems that Darkseid’s recent appearance in Zack Snyder’s Justice League is also one of the reasons for this decision, as the studio wanted space between the two projects. It’s a shame they aren’t moving forward and hopefully, it could see the light of day in the near future once their figure out their future DC slate.

    BREAKING: DC FanDome Gets a Major Overhaul

    Just 3 days away from their groundbreaking online fan event, DC has made some serious changes to DC FanDome. Originally billed as a massive 24-hour experience, the event has now been broken into separate chunks. The event will still kick off this Saturday, but instead of the original 24 hours, it has been shortened to an 8 hour online experience.

    Earlier this morning, the event’s homepage may have actually hinted at the upcoming changes as fans were unable to access their previously prearranged schedules and were instead met with a temporary “We’ll Be Right Back” message, seen below:

    At the moment, it appears that a second FanDome event has now been put on the books for September 12th. This weekend’s event will still feature The Hall of Heroes, the hall where DC’s major movie news is expected to break. The September event feature the Explore the Multiverse hall.

A lot of the content you were super excited to see from our multiple islands will now be housed here, and will be available for you to watch throughout the 24-hour period.
