Disney CEO Bob Chapek Apologizes to LGBTQ+ Employees In Company Letter

Disney CEO Bob Chapek has been facing internal pushback from employees over the company’s stance on a controversial Florida bill that restricts LGBTQ education in schools. After days of criticism from employees internally and on social media, Chapek announced Disney will pause all political donations in Florida.

According to Variety Chapek sent out an email to staff with a direct apology to the company’s LGBTQ employees. “Speaking to you, reading your messages, and meeting with you have helped me better understand how painful our silence was,” Chapek writes in the letter.

“It is clear that this is not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but instead yet another challenge to basic human rights. You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry.”

Florida legislature has passed a bill critics have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill as it prevents teachers from discussing LGBTQ topics. Teachers say this is dangerous for students who might come to them for advice on LGBTQ matters and leaves school districts vulnerable to lawsuits from parents who disagree with their curriculum.

Disney became caught in the matter when it was revealed that the company has donated close to $200,000 to Florida politicians who back the bill. Disney operates the Disney World theme park in Orlando, Florida, and as such is involved with the local politics of the state.

Employees who work across Disney, particularly in Disney Animation, have criticized the company for its political contributions and have used the hashtag #DisneyDoBetter to draw attention to the issue.

As part of his message to staff Chapek says that Disney is “creating a new framework for our political giving that will ensure our advocacy better reflects our values.” This statement follows recent remarks Chapek made at the Annual Shareholders Meeting where the CEO says he called Florida Gov. DeSantis to express his disappointment and concern over the legislation that “could be used to unfairly target gay, lesbian, nonbinary, and transgender kids and family.”

Here is the full letter as shared by Variety.

Deadpool 3: Free Guy’s Shawn Levy to Direct MCU Marvel Movie

Deadpool 3 is eyeing regular Ryan Reynolds collaborator Shawn Levy to direct the upcoming MCU movie.

The Hollywood Reporter says Levy is in negotiations to re-team with Reynolds for the upcoming third Deadpool movie. Levy previously worked with Reynolds on Free Guy and The Adam Project on Netflix.

If hired, Levy will be the third director in three Deadpool films. The first Deadpool movie was directed by special effects guru Tim Miller, while David Leitch of John Wick fame took over directing duties for the sequel.

Deadpool 3 has been confirmed to be officially part of the MCU and, yes, it will be R-rated according to Kevin Feige.

Bob’s Burgers writers Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin are handling the script for the movie that will officially bring the Merc with a mouth to the Marvel universe.

The Deadpool movies were originally produced through 20th Century Fox alongside the other X-Men movies. But Disney acquired the company and with it the X-Men characters.

Deadpool isn’t the only character joining the MCU. The new trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness suggests that the X-Men and other mutants are coming to the MCU sooner than you think.

Dead Space Remake: Isaac’s Dialogue Will Change Based on How Tired He Is

EA Motive has just completed another developer update for the upcoming remake of Dead Space. Aside from showing off some new early footage, the latest developer livestream focused a lot on the audio improvements, including how Isaac's dialogue can vary depending on how tired he is.

During today's livestream, the developers announced a new system titled "A.L.I.V.E.," which EA Motive says will encompass "all components of Isaac's breathing and heart rate, vocal excursions, and dialogue influenced by a variety of driving gameplay features."

While elaborating further on A.L.I.V.E., the studio broke down what each letter in the acronym stood for: Adrenaline, Limbic System Response, Intelligent Dialog, Vitals, and Exertions. While each up makes up a component, the most interesting part of the new system is the "Intelligent Dialog," in which EA Motive explains that Isaac's scripted dialogue scenes will include three variations of each line "based on his current state."

The three variations: Normal, Fatigued, and Injured, each has drastically different ways Isaac delivers dialogue in-game as the developer demonstrated stream. As you'd expect, each variation is distinct, which helps reflect the state Isaac is in — if Isaac is injured, for example, Isaac will ache subtly while delivering his line.

Of course, the change in Isaac's breathing is nothing new if you played the original. Yet, the new audio improvements and small attention to detail in how Isaac delivers dialogue and even in how he breaths depending on the situation are nice touches to the highly anticipated remake of one of the most popular horror games from the late 2000s

Dead Space Remake is expected to launch in "early 2023." While the game is not due until roughly another year, EA Motive has promised to do another developer update sometime in May, which will focus on Dead Space Remake's art design.

Dead Space Remake Is Targeting Early 2023 Release Date

The Dead Space Remake is coming along, and according to the developers, the team is now targeting an early 2023 release window for its ambitious survival horror game.

Following the latest developer update which did a deep dive into the realistic audio systems in Dead Space Remake, the developers announced that they are targeting an early 2023 release window for the remake.

“We want to make sure that we are in a place where the game we’re going to deliver is going to be building upon the expectations of fans,” the developers said in today’s stream. “So right now, we’ll say early next year. We have a date in mind and we want to make sure that everything converges for this.”

Motive says the team is just a couple of weeks away from being able to do a full walkthrough of the game. But as reiterated many times in the stream and by the devs, everything fans have seen so far of Dead Space Remake is in early alpha.

However, that hasn’t made what was revealed any less impressive. The devs previously detailed how they’re aiming to have realistic physics for how Isaac shoots and cuts the necromorphs. Today’s audio presentation revealed this realism extends to the sound as well, with Isaac’s dialogue and breathing changing based on how fatigued he is.

Another Dead Space Remake dev update will premiere in the coming weeks, this time focused on art direction. Check out IGN’s interview with the Dead Space Remake devs from when the remake was first announced here.
