New Space Jam Movie Had A Scene Where Pepe Le Pew Got His Comeuppance, But It Was Cut
The new Space Jam movie, A New Legacy, will not feature the French skunk Pepe Le Pew, according to Deadline . The site reported that Warner Bros. planned a scene for the movie involving the skunk and Jane the Virgin actress Greice Santo, but it's been cut. The site also reported that Santo was upset by the removal of the scene, which would have finally given the slimy skunk his comeuppance. Deadline reported that Warner Bros. filmed a scene with Santo and a CG version of Pepe Le Pew back in 2019 but this has now been cut. Terence Nance, who was the first director on A New Legacy, filmed this live-action scene before he left the movie and was replaced by Malcolm D. Lee. With Lee now directing the movie, the producers went a different direction. This happened "a while ago," and Pepe Le Pew was never animated and prepared for the movie, according to the report.

NYC High Schools Set to Reopen March 22
New York City high schools are set to reopen on March 22 after months of distance learning, officials announced Monday. The city’s decision to reopen again sets an important precedent, given it is home to one of the largest school districts in the country, the New York Times reported . New York City first reopened its schools last fall but switched to fully remote learning in November when the city’s coronavirus cases soared. The city has phased reopening for its elementary and middle school students, welcoming some elementary school students back to the classroom in December and middle school students in February. Officials prioritized getting younger students back to in-person learning because it is more difficult to conduct remote learning sessions with them. About half of New York City’s 488 high schools will fully reopen for full-time instruction for most, if not all, of their in-person students. The other half will reopen on a hybrid model. High school sports … [Read more...] about NYC High Schools Set to Reopen March 22
