That fix is titled “Agents of Chaos,” an upcoming two-part documentary from Alex Gibney that will premiere on September 23. HBO unveiled the trailer for the documentary on Monday and though the project covers well-trod territory, “Agents of Chaos” promises to shine a new light on the political controversy. Per HBO, “Agents of Chaos” is a product of years of reporting on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“I had to do this incredibly technical experiment, re-creating every scene, shot for shot,” Snyder told Vulture about the process earlier this month. “My visual-effects supervisor, Marcus Taormina, did the work of taking Chris completely out of the movie so Tig could have freedom [to move] within the scenes.” Reguera was the sole cast member to return for “Army of the Dead” reshoots because inserting Notaro into the scenes Reguera shared with D’Elia didn’t work....

The “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” star took to Twitter February 5 to address allegations around her “blaccent,” a “voice that stereotypically imitates forms of Black American dialect,” as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Awkwafina, whose real name is Nora Lum, tweeted that there is “a sociopolitical context to everything, especially the historical context of the African American community in this country.” Awkwafina clarified her use of AAVE, or African American Vernacular English, was a result of being first-generation American (Lum is half Korean, half Chinese)....
