#Batgirl was a casualty of new corporate strategy from David Zaslav, who opted to shelve the project in order to take a tax write down on the $90 million film, multiple sources tell THR thr.cm/IqQzuPM Image
According to multiple sources, Warners considered pumping more money into #Batgirl to beef it up into a theatrical release. Another source downplays that the notion was seriously in contention thr.cm/IqQzuPM Image
When a very early version of #Batgirl test screened it landed a score in the low 60s and is believed to have only tested once. The test score is comparable to tests for 2017's 'It' as well as an early test for the upcoming #Shazam: Fury of the Gods thr.cm/IqQzuPM Image
The death of #Batgirl also hints at a smaller role for Michael Keaton's #Batman. According to sources, Keaton had filmed a scene for the upcoming #Aquaman2 that confused test audiences. It looks as if Ben Affleck will appear in that film instead thr.cm/IqQzuPM Image
Rumors are swirling that Warners is considering moving the release dates for two #Shazam: Fury of the Gods and #Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom thr.cm/IqQzuPM ImageImage
Even more details on the cancelation of #Batgirl: thr.cm/IqQzuPM

Peter Jackson says Amazon asked him to be involved with its mega-budget #LOTR prequel – and then cut off contact. Amazon suggests the story isn't quite so simple: thr.cm/M2ugCIJ Image
“They asked me if I wanted to be involved...and I said, ‘That’s an impossible question to answer without seeing a script,'” said Peter Jackson, “So they said...'we’ll send them to you.’ And the scripts never showed up" thr.cm/M2ugCIJ Image
Peter Jackson said he has no hard feelings towards the #LOTR series: “I’ll be watching it...If somebody makes a good film or TV show, it’s something to celebrate. The one thing I am looking forward to is actually seeing it as a perfectly neutral viewer” thr.cm/M2ugCIJ Image
