HBO’s ‘The Nevers’ Brings Joss Whedon’s Greatest Hits to Victorian London: TV Review

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticThe most memorable moment of “Rutherford Falls” — featuring two characters sitting opposite each other and just talking with startling honesty — deviates sharply from the show’s established norm.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticAdapting a beloved book is one of the trickiest high wire acts there is in television. Change too much and risk the wrath of a passionate fanbase; change too little and risk losing the magic in replicated story beats that make more sense on the page than the screen.

Caroline Framke Chief TV Critic“Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!” isn’t exactly trying to reinvent the multi-cam sitcom wheel. The new Netflix comedy, starring and executive produced by TV veteran Jamie Foxx, follows single Atlanta entrepreneur Brian (Foxx) who suddenly has to father his teenage daughter Sasha (Kyla-Drew) after her mother’s untimely death, much to their mutual wariness.

Though for all intents and purposes, when you think of “Man of Steel,” “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,” and “Justice League,” the creator that springs to mind first and foremost is Zack Snyder.

A new report elaborating the working relationship between Gal Gadot and Justice League director Joss Whedon has emerged. In the past, the filmmaker has been widely criticized and has been a controversial figure.

Last year Ray Fisher dropped a bombshell on Twitter, and we’re still feeling the shockwaves.

The Hollywood Reporter about Ray Fisher, who accused Joss Whedon of racist and “abusive” behavior on the set of 2017’s “Justice League,” also revealed new claims about alleged abuse toward Gal Gadot.A source told THR that Gadot, who played Wonder Woman in the 2017 superhero flick, was among several actors who suffered alleged abuse at the hands of the director and “Buffy” creator.The friction reportedly started after the “Alien Resurrection” writer pressed 35-year-old Gadot to say lines she

Justice League.That’s according to new claims shared to The Hollywood Reporter today (April 6) as part of a broader interview with Justice League star Ray Fisher.In the article, Fisher and other unnamed sources claim that Whedon, who took over directing the DC film from Zack Snyder in 2016, was “dismissive” of some actors on set including Fisher, Gadot and Jason Momoa when they questioned lines in the film.According to sources speaking to THR, the “biggest clash” was “when Whedon pushed Gadot to

Less than a year after allegations of his “gross” and “abusive” behavior on set first became public, Justice League director Joss Whedon is now facing new accusations involving his treatment of Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot during reshoots for the DC film. According to sources who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, Gadot’s career was “threatened” by the director after disagreements over his proposed script changes.

The drama continues. Nearly one year after Justice League star Ray Fisher took aim at Joss Whedon‘s “gross, abusive” behavior on set, a new report claims that the 56-year-old director “had it out” with Gal Gadot while working on the 2017 flick.

The Hollywood Reporter.The new detail that Whedon feuded with Gadot and even disparaged “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins came as part of a lengthy interview with Ray Fisher that goes into more detail about his ongoing criticisms of Warner Bros. executives and Whedon.Fisher declined to comment to THR specifically on anything that transpired between Gadot and the “Justice League” director.

Amid years of taking a stand, Ray Fisher is opening up more than ever.

For about a year now, we’ve heard Ray Fisher talk about the “abuse” he suffered while working with Joss Whedon, Jon Berg, and Geoff Johns on the reshoots of “Justice League.” And in a new THR report, the actor is now opening up more than ever about his time on the superhero film. But one of the biggest standouts of the report is about how Gal Gadot was the subject of some Joss Whedon anger.

A bombshell new report has emerged about Gal Gadot‘s working relationship with Justice League director Joss Whedon. Whedon has been disgraced over various allegations against him in the recent past, including allegations about what went down during filming of the DC Universe movie.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticWatching 14-year-old Chad (Nasim Pedrad) try so hard to be cool that he devolves into a sputtering mess can be, to say the least, awkward. Anyone who’s lived through puberty knows the pain of wanting to be “normal” at the same time everything feels anything but.

HBO’s “The Nevers” drops at a time when its existence will have to fight a more intense battle than anything on-screen against the stories about its creator, Joss Whedon. While the man behind “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” and “Dollhouse” left the show in November as stories about his on-set behavior on “Justice League” were just starting to surface, his fingerprints are all over the four episodes of the new series.

After Zack Snyder's Justice League was released, one thing that fans realized and were shocked to discover was how Ray Fisher's Cyborg was handled differently in both films. While the Snyder Cut gave Fisher his much-needed limelight, it was clear that Joss Whedon had chopped off several portions of Fisher's Cyborg and other characters of colour from the movie.
