IN THE NEWS
Disney and IMAX are teaming to upgrade 13 Marvel movies available for Disney+ subscribers with IMAX’s Expanded Aspect Ration format. IMAX traditionally uses a squarer 1.43:1 format, but Expanded Aspect Ratio is closer to the 16:9 ratio of TVs. Among the enhanced films will be “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” premiering on the service Friday, November 12.
“Tamron Hall” has been renewed by the ABC Owned Television Stations Group for seasons four and five. “Tamron Hall is a trusted and accomplished journalist and an outstanding talk show host,” said ABC News President Kim Godwin. “She is a breath of fresh air in daytime, approaching every show and segment with her personal mix of curiosity and compassion.” The talker debuted in 2019.
T-Mobile is the first official launch partner for NBCUniversal’s new One Platform campaign, “Because I’m a Veteran,” which aims to shine a light on the importance of hiring Veterans and supporting the military community in post-service life. The effort is part of NBCUniversal’s Advertising & Partnerships’ larger “Boots to Boardroom” initiative, devoted to creating awareness of what Veterans can bring to the table in a corporate setting. Additionally, the NBCUniversal Advertising and Partnerships BOLD Vets program, which is aimed at transforming NBCUniversal from a vet friendly to a vet-ready organization, will continue its partnership with The Veterans Network, an NBCUniversal Employee Resource Group, for its third annual Veteran’s Day Event on November 11.
“Star Trek: Prodigy” has been renewed for a second season by Paramount+. The second half of the freshman run of the animated kids series launches Thursday, January 6.
Emilio Estevez issued a statement about his exit from Disney+ series “Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” after one season. Responding to reports that he departed at least in part because of his refusal to provide assurances that he would comply with Covid vaccination requirements, Estevez said, “I am not anti-vaxx. Full stop….In the final analysis this was nothing more than a good old fashioned contract dispute and not, as some would believe an anti-vaccine position….My exit from the show was due to a myriad of creative differences – any other narrative is false.”
One exit that does appear to be due to anti-vaxx rhetoric is former “General Hospital” star Ingo Radamacher’s. The actor, who joined the show in 1996, was released after backlash against his strong protests against vaccine mandates. Rademacher also offended members of the trans community in a post, for which he apologized.
