The film then began to continue shooting not long after, but it seems that filming has once again been paused. This time because one of the actors in The Batman, believed to be lead Robert Pattinson himself, have apparently contracted the Coronavirus. As explained in an official…

Netflix’s upcoming film Cuties has found plenty of negative attention since its promotional campaign began. The film is intended to be something of a commentary on the United States entertainment industry, and how young girls are constantly being overly-sexualized by it.

It seems that the asteroid might just have the possibility of hitting us on November 2, one day before the United States’ presidential election is due to begin. What perfect timing, and with…
