It's the internet. Anything is possible. No one is spared.

So just for one quick question,

Do you guys think the daughter from Connected who is named Katie might end up becoming the next trending fan art character online by the end of 2020 once the movie itself comes out?

No I do not.   Very rarely are film characters trending fan art.  It's usually cartoon series.  Also the 3D character model to 2D art style is usually not that great.  I don't think this movie will be much more than a mediocre splash in the pool.  It won't be much of a film. This year as a whole has been a disaster for the film industry.

Uh, actually we had trending fan art characters from animated movies last decade.

They are relatively small groups within select fandoms.  Among the broader spectrum, they are not known.

[DEEcat98]

Still qualifies as trending, but just as long as if the character is still the fan fav in the fandom as years go by.

Yeah agreed, I never saw the lorax or rise of the guardians but even I knew about those characters.

I'm surprised sony hasn't delyed, connected yet with everything else getting delayed.

[DEEcat98]

Connected did get delayed. It has been delayed from September 18 to October 23 this year.

[Depressed edge lord]

Huh, must of missed that.

[DEEcat98]

Cinderella Remake Put On Hold, Film To Have Many Controversial Politically Correct Changes...

The classic fairy tale Cinderella is getting a remake, this time with a "genderless" Fairy Godmother.

Actor and singer Billy Porter, who is noted for his “gender fluidity,” announced he and singer Camila Cabello would star in the upcoming remake of Cinderella. The production will feature Porter as the Fairy Godmother, and the characterization will be "genderless" because “magic has no gender.”

“We are presenting this character as genderless — at least that’s how I’m playing it. And it’s really powerful,” Porter said.

The remake is intended for “a new generation” and will emphasize to viewers that the story is about empowerment, not the need to find a man.

“It’s not about women needing a man for validation,” the actor told Insider. “It’s about women empowering themselves, and that’s a really great message to be sending out into the world.”

Porter is best known for his role in the show Pose, a show about gay black and Latino Americans in the 1980s ballroom scene.

“Who I am and what I represent is very specific and really shows that this moment is about inclusivity and moving the needle towards self-acceptance and humanity and self-care and all those things,” he said.

The musical comedy is slated for a February 2021 release, however, production is currently put on hold due to COVID-19 concerns, reports The Hollywood Reporter. It will also star Pierce Brosnan and Idina Menzel.
