Black Widow' and 'West Side Story' Delayed Until 2021 Due to Pandemic

Following its previous reshuffling of films due to the ongoing pandemic, Disney has announced it will once again push Black Widow‘s release date back, this time to next year, alongside its adaptation of West Side Story. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scarlett Johansson‘s upcoming standalone superhero film has been pushed from November 6 to May 7, 2021, a full year removed from its original release date of May 1, 2020, before coronavirus concerns shut down most theaters. As a result, other Marvel Studios films like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and The Eternals have been pushed back to July 9 and November 5, 2021, respectively.

Meanwhile, Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story has been pushed back from December 18, 2020, to December 10 of next year. Although this takes the film out of this year’s Oscar race, many suspect the film has also been delayed due to alligations surrounding the film’s star Ansel Elgort. Disney will move Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile sequel from October 23 to December 18th. Pixar’s Soul remains on target for November 20 and 20th Century’s Free Guy starring Ryan Reynolds, will retain its December 11 release.

Many speculate all these films moved due to Christopher Nolan’s Tenet underperforming in the box-office amid COVID-19. Many also see the move as a result of how Mulan faired releasing on Disney+ for $30 USD.

Japan's gripping manhunt ends in capture

Image
Japanese police have captured a fugitive who had eluded authorities for weeks in a bizarre drama that gripped the country. Tatsuma Hirao, 27, had made a run for it from an open prison in the town of Imabari. Police deployed more than 6,000 officers on the small island of Mukaishima, using everything from dogs to helicopters and drones. He was caught at a train station in Hiroshima, about 50km (30 miles) away. Hirao was not considered a dangerous criminal. Serving five and a half years for theft, he was being held at a facility where inmates are free to walk about without walls or fences. The system did not work in the case of Hirao. The first clues following his getaway were on Mukaishima. On the face of it, the 57 sq km (22 sq mile) island of 22,000 people should not have been an easy place to hide. Yet despite using helicopters, sniffer dogs and drones, Hirao kept eluding his pursuers. All the police found were small clues: fingerprints, items like socks or mobil

A former South Korean governor and one-time presidential contender has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for rape, five months after he was controversially acquitted for the same crime. Ahn Hee-jung was jailed by an appeals court Friday for the rape and assault of Kim Ji-eun, his former assistant, Kim's lawyer Jung Hye-sun told CNN. Speaking after the verdict, Kim thanked her lawyers and witnesses who supported her case. "I can say goodbye to my torturous time when I was forced to live feeling like a witch to be burnt," she said. "I'd like to share all the help I received with other victims who still have to prove everything in their lonely fights. I'd like to send my solidarity to all the victims of sexual crimes whether they spoke about their cases but were ignored or couldn't speak about their issues and quietly watched my trial." Kim came forward with the allegations during an interview with South Korean
