David [Ayer] really wanted her to be strong, badass
and nuts — but fun as well. Whenever I would be inclined to play into
the comedy or play her more likable, he’d always direct me the other
way. He wanted her to be pretty vicious.

‘Batgirl’ Movie Back On, Now With ‘Bumblebee’ Writer (Exclusive)

justiceleague:

Two months after Joss Whedon left the Batgirl movie project, the studio is moving ahead on developing a new movie project based on the DC Entertainment heroine.

Christina Hodson, who wrote the upcoming Transformers spinoff Bumblebee, has been tapped to pen a new script featuring Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham City police commissioner James Gordon.

Hodson wrote the 2017 Warners thriller Unforgettable, which starred Rosario Dawson and Katherine Heigl, and has been a player in a couple of writers rooms, Transformers (which led to her nabbing the Bumblebee gig) and Ology, the franchise Paramount is developing based on the YA fictional encyclopedias from Templar Publishing.

Black Panther’s finale is particularly moving as it uses
T’Challa’s ship to mesmerize and engage Oakland kids, specifically a
wonderstruck child played by Moonlight’s Alex Hibbert. He asks
if the ship belongs to the Wakandan king, pauses, then asks who he is.
We get to watch a kid create a hero for himself — something doubly
touching as we know that’s also true for plenty of kids of color in the
audience getting to see a hero who looks like them on the big screen.

The effect that A Quiet Place had on the theater was so unreal. People were afraid to eat. Half the people, myself and the guy beside me included, spent tense movie moments covering their mouths as to not make a sound, one time somebody stepped on a nacho container during a VERY tense moment and the entire theater lost their shit. People were gasping, one woman screamed, everyone chatised the individual quickly and hushedly before returning to the movie. When the lights came up everyone was still whispering. People were tiptoeing out like everyone was fucking silent and to have THAT effect on your audience shows something.
