New Tom Clancy Film, Without Remorse, Delayed To Early 2021

Paramount has delayed Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse to February 26, 2021. The new release date allows it to avoid Wonder Woman 1984, which was delayed to the film’s original release date of October 2 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Deadline reports.

This is the latest in a number of film delays, including Paramount’s own Tenet (which was delayed to August 12) and Disney’s Mulan (which was delayed to August 21). However, those films were delayed due to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the U.S. and Without Remorse was delayed in an attempt to have less box-office competition.

The film, starring Michael B. Jordan and directed by Stefano Sollima, follows a Navy SEAL as he attempts to avenge his wife’s murder and is caught up in a large conspiracy. Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse now competes with action thriller Nobody from director Ilya Naishuller, starring Bob Odenkirk.

Disney’s Mulan Delayed Due To Surge In COVID-19 Cases

Disney has officially delayed Mulan from July 25 to August 21, Deadline reports. This puts the film slightly more than a week after Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, which was delayed to August 12.

The delay is because the reopening of movie theaters in the U.S. has become more uncertain due to the spike in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

“While the pandemic has changed our release plans for ‘Mulan’ and we will continue to be flexible as conditions require, it has not changed our belief in the power of this film and its message of hope and perseverance. Director Niki Caro and our cast and crew have created a beautiful, epic, and moving film that is everything the cinematic experience should be, and that’s where we believe it belongs–on the world stage and the big screen for audiences around the globe to enjoy together,” said Alan Horn, co-chairman and chief creative officer, and Alan Bergman, co-chairman of The Walt Disney Studios in a statement.

Following Misconduct Allegations, Two Ubisoft Executives Have Been Suspended

Following an internal corporate investigation, Ubisoft has suspended vice presidents Tommy François and Maxime Béland–the two were responsible for overseeing worldwide development of the studio’s games. According to Bloomberg, both men face at least three claims of misconduct.

In a statement to GameSpot, a Ubisoft spokesperson wrote, “These [men] are under investigation so we are not commenting further at this time.”

Ubisoft has come under scrutiny in the past week, following a string of victims coming forward to report misconduct at the hands of the studio’s employees. Ubisoft product and brand marketing manager Andrien Gbinigie was accused of sexual assault earlier this week on June 22, which Gbinigie denied in a now-removed Medium post. This was followed by Assassin’s Creed Valhalla creative director Ashraf Ismail leaving Ubisoft on June 24 in the wake of accusations of infidelity.
