Zack Snyder is proudly a “no chairs on set” guy – The A.V. Club

Zack Snyder in a chairPhoto: Keith Tsuji (Getty Images) Last year, Christopher Nolan made headlines for allegedly not allowing chairs on the sets of his movies. Anne Hathaway—who worked with Nolan on The Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar—mentioned it during a conversation with Hugh Jackman for Variety’s “Actors On Actors” series, and it inadvertently sparked a debate about whether it’s fair for a director to do so. But the filmmaker’s representative quickly shut down the rumors, claiming the only things he banned were cell phones and smoking. But while Nolan doesn’t want people to think he’s a dick for not allowing his cast to relax between sets, Zack Snyder takes pride in being a “no chairs” guy. “There’s no sitting down, like, I banned chairs from the set,” the Army Of The Dead dir...

In The Heights joyfully brings Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first hit musical to the screen – The A.V. Club

Paciencia y fe have paid off for the film adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning musical In The Heights. Plans for a film based on the exuberant and lyrically dextrous Broadway show, Miranda’s first hit, date back to 2008, when Universal Pictures was set to produce with Kenny Ortega attached to direct. The production was canceled that same year (reportedly due to the lack of bankable Latinx stars in the cast), then revived in 2016 with the help of (ugh) The Weinstein Company. In the wake of all the sexual abuse allegations against Harvey Weinstein, the film rights were picked up by Warner Bros., with Jon M. Chu tapped to direct. Filming finally took place in 2019, and a release date was set for June 26, 2020. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and In The Heights was, like so many ot...

Do we need COVID-19 booster vaccines? ‘We don’t know,’ Fauci says – Fox News

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, on Friday said it’s unclear whether coronavirus booster shots will be necessary, or when. However heads of major drug companies Pfizer and Moderna say the shots could be necessary by September. Ongoing lab studies assessing durability of the immune response and breakthrough infections will help experts understand whether the shots are necessary, Fauci said. Pfizer and Moderna have been developing booster shots in a bid to protect against emerging variants, especially a concerning variant first detected in South Africa. While some viral strains have diminished vaccine efficacy, experts believe the existing vaccines remain effective. "We are planning for the eventuality that we might need to boost people," Fauci told CBS ...
