- by Ninja Ross, 10 July, 2020

Welcome to Trash Mutant's News Dump! Where we dump upon you this week's hardest hitting news from the garbage pile that is our beloved pop culture!
​

​Movies & TV

Invisible Man Director Onboard for Wolfman Reboot
Leigh Whannell, Invisible Man Director, is attached to direct the upcoming reboot of the classic Universal monster movie The Wolfman, starring Ryan Gosling. While Leigh Whannell is a great director, it’s still not clear how he’s become so successful, since it must be difficult for the cast and crew to follow an invisible man director’s finger when he points and gestures.
 
Hans Zimmer, Junkie XL to Provide Soundtrack for Zach Snyder’s Justice League
While answering fan questions on media site Vero, Zacl Snyder revealed that his upcoming director’s cut of Justice League will feature a soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. Fans are excited for the soundtrack, but were shocked at Snyder’s dismissive description of Zimmer as a fat man with a drug problem.

Science

Don’t be a Dick to the Dead, Says Science
We’ve recently covered a study that shows babies can recognise when they’re being imitated. But a new study shows that hearing is the last sense to go when you die, with some being able to hear even in an unresponsive state. This means there’s a possibility your dead relative can hear you if you high five someone or unzip your fly.
 
New Study Suggests Lead Fallout of Notre Dame Fire Likely Overlooked
In a new study, published in Geohealth, lead author of the study, Lex van Geen, concluded that their “final estimation of the total amount of excess lead is much larger compared with what has been reported earlier by other teams”. Votes will now be recounted to determine which fallout was truly in the lead.

​Comic Books

Marvel Releasing Phantom of the Opera Sequel Comic Book
Written by Jonathan Hickman, with art by Rod Reis, the series will follow the story of Christine Daaé following her ordeal with the titular Phantom as she ages and puts on weight due to trauma. Look out for Giant-Size X-Men: Fantomex​ issue 1 in stores on August 5th!

​Video Games

OK Gesture Quietly Removed from Call of Duty: Modern Wafrare
While neither Activision or Infinity Ward have confirmed the reason for the gesture being replaced with a new one called “crush”, it’s believed to be due to the connection to white supremacy over recent years. However, there has been no word on whether they will replace the paper option in “rock, paper scissors”, which is known as Hitler’s favourite move.
 
Zelda: Breath of the Wild Not Near Finished After All
Gaming news outlets have recently reported that, in a recent interview, voice actors Marc Navarro and Nerea Alfonso stated they have finished their voice work on the upcoming Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. However, Nintendo have denied this, saying that the media has jumped to “incorrect and out-of-context conclusions”. Navarro and Alfonso have not yet actually finished recording the countless script pages of “Hyaaa”, “Chaaa!” and “Well EXCUUUUUUUUUSE ME Princess!” that the games are known for.
