Jared Leto Has Been Confirmed to Be a Part of Justice League Director’s Cut

It looks like DC and Zack Snyder are leaving no stone unturned to achieve the best version of the 2017 disaster.

It kinda feels like Zack Snyder sits alone in his bedroom every day and introspects how much more he can do about the Justice League. Like any ordinary human being, his mind would generally wonder about the things that have worked 9/10 times for DC. What is that thing? Yes, you might have guessed it already.

If you are a director who wants to make a successful DC film, you would want to let that clown take a walk. However, you gotta do it properly, you know?

Nevertheless, you can expect something very different in Zack Snyder’s upcoming flick than what you had seen in the 2017 mishap.  The latest addition to the list of creative changes brought by Zack Snyder is the addition of Mr. J’s cameo (Leto’s Joker) in the original Justice League screenplay.

Though it’s a very brave step, some fans regard it as unnecessary because fans haven’t quite welcomed Jared Leto’s recruitment as the Joker.

However, it is what it is. The usually reliable Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Mr. Nobody’s actor will reprise his role as the menacing clown of Gotham City in the upcoming Justice League film. Hollywood Reporter has also reported that Leto has already joined the production team for reshoots.

It’s quite uncertain what role would Jared Leto play in the upcoming film, and though he has received massive criticism for his crotchety performance in Suicide Squad, he did appear for just a few minutes and hasn’t appeared ever again. His only other reference (verbal) came in another edgy DC live-action flick “Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn,” which explored Margot Robbie’s anti-hero character and her dealings with the trauma of her breakup with Mr. J.

Nobody was in favor of Leto’s inclusion not only in this Justice League but also in the forthcoming sequels. Even Zack Snyder had excluded him from his original plans of the 2017 film amidst some ill-informed rumors that the infamous villain is going to appear in the film.

Even though the likes of Amber Heard and Ray Fisher have also joined him in the cast that has been called up for the reshoots, Jared Leto’s inclusion points towards the fact that both Snyder and the DC Studio are banking on the reiteration of the Justice League to fix what has been broken in the franchise and everyone involved in the “Snyder Cut” are doing whatever they can to make the four hours long series just right.

However, whether these changes are enough to make more people interested in the DCEU is a matter that is up for debate. What has now been confirmed is that things will be different both from his version as well as Joss Whedon’s version, which we have seen in the 2017 film.

The level of apprehensions in the mind of Snyder must be high because even he doesn’t know what he has embarked on to create.

Hulu Has Bought the Rights of Canadian Comedy “Jann”

The tv series is the creation of Jann Arden and “Schitt’s Creek” Producer Andrew Barnsley, which is now ready to shine on the other side of the border.

Get ready to get a heavy dose of Jann Arden as the show created by her alongside Leah Gauthier and Jennica Harper and overseen by Andrew Barnsley (“Schitt’s Creek ) will arrive on the platform with both of its released seasons.

In the series “Jann,” the comedian/actress plays the fictionalized toned down version of her reality. She plays the role of a former singing sensation unable to grasp an undeniable truth that her fame is evaporating like ice in an empty glass. The series originally aired on Canadian broadcaster CTV and explores Jann’s hilarious attempts to come back in her professional and personal life, which have fallen apart.

The brand overseeing the production operations are Project 10 Productions and SEVEN Films Production. In its debut season, the series relayed the story in six episodes, and in its sequel season, it increased its tally to eight. The series is a recipient of several nominations at Canadian Screen Awards apart from receiving the Writers Guild of Canada Prize awarded to Arden and Harper.

The outgoing President of Bell Media, Randy Lennox, had made a statement in which he has praised the show and actress Jann Arden for relaying a relatable story and is loved by all in Canada. He conceded that he now cannot wait to share the same “Canadian” excitement to the audience in the United States courtesy of the deal with Hulu.

Andrew Barnsley of Project 10 Productions and Jordy Randall of SEVEN24 films have also shared a joint statement in which they have said that the series has captured the heart of Canada, and now it is it’s time to shine all over the world.

Jann Arden also expressed her gratitude to Hulu’s generous decision-makers for providing a platform for them to share their incredible story with the people of the United States. She added that the team of “Jann” is excited to join their incredible library, and she hopes that the series can add more virtuosity to an already sublime talent at the display. 

Barnsley and Ben Murray represent Project 10 Productions as executive producers, from SEVEN24 Films side Tom Cox and Jordy Randall have overseen the project, and Bell Media had Lennox as their representatives. Gauthier and Harper also serve as executive producers in the production team, and Harper has been showrunner for the two seasons.

How to Watch the Oscar-Winning Movie “Parasite” Online?

Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar-winning film Parasite is a satire about wealth disparity. It is a South Korean dark comedy that follows a low-income family that infiltrates a wealthy family as highly qualified employees. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 21 May 2019 and won the Palme d’Or. It is one of the most appreciated movies of this year and received many accolades. Parasites won the four prestigious Academy Awards (Oscars), including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best International Feature Film, and Best Picture. It also received the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language and the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Parasite is undoubtedly the best picture in recent times; it portrays the current society and its cutthroat survival competition. And thankfully, the movie is finally available on the streaming platform.

How to Watch Parasite Online?

Amazon Prime’s users can watch the movie online from 23 October 2020. That means the one who has Prime’s subscription can access the cinematic wonder without paying extra. So now, the users can watch the movie comfortably in their homes from laptops or mobile phones.

Is Parasite Subtitled or Dubbed in English?

Well, it is not dubbed in the English language. The dialogues in the film are in Korean with English subtitles for the United Kingdom release. However, that should not resist you from watching the year’s or maybe decade’s most incredible film.

Bong Joon-ho once said while accepting the Golden Globe Award that once viewers overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles, they will be introduced to a whole new different and amazing movie out there. And the saying makes a lot of sense because then the audience will experience different cultures through the films.

Bong Joon-ho’s Other Directed Films

Bong Joon-ho is a South Korean movie producer and director known for his black humor work and most socially oriented. His film Barking Dogs Never Bite captured audience attention in 2000, after which he delivered his next commercial hit, Memories of Murder, in 2003. In 2006 he made The Host, which won the Best Film Award at the Blue Dragon Film Awards and Asian Film Awards. Joon-ho’s films Okja also screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017 before Parasite.

Bong featured in the list of Top 100 Most Influential People in 2020 Time and as the Top 25 directors of 21st Century on Metacritic.

What is Parasite About?

Parasite is a mixed genre of dark comedy, psychological thriller, and class satire. The movie follows two families on two extremities of the class-based society. The low-income family, the Kims, infiltrates into the wealthy family’s lives, the Parks, as highly skilled individual employees. Kim Kii-woo gives tuition classes to the Park’s daughter Da-hye and then helps his sister get employed as an art tutor for Da-hye’s brother, Da-song. The Kim children then plan to defame the Park’s driver and bring their father for the job. And lastly, they trick the housekeeper into replacing her with their mother, Moon-gwang. Everything is going smooth until the Kims find that Moon-gwang has been hiding her husband in the Park’s basement.

The film’s representation of the city depicts the class system and how the lower middle class is fighting a battle against each other every day to be in a better place. The poor man smell from Geun-se tells that, irrespective of the clothes, every man has a smell of where it belongs, and one can not mask it.

Parasite took an ugly turn when the lives of the upper class and lower class clashed. Park’s son’s birthday party turns into grief, and Geun-se escapes after killing Dong-ik. Later Geun-se starts living in the Park’s basement to run from the police. He tries to connect with his son through Morse code signals.

Income inequality is everywhere these days, and Parasite is a movie that is more pessimistic about economic mobility. It highlights the fact that those who are born poor will die poor. The Kims may get rich in the future and buy the house to free his father, but that will not happen. The film tells us we all are trapped where we are.

How to Set up a Double VPN

A double VPN helps you add another layer of privacy to your standard VPN service. A few VPN providers have started offering the new double VPN feature; if your provider hasn’t, there are many other methods to achieve this. Another question that arises here is whether setting a double VPN offers any gains, or is it just hype? Also, do you know how to set it up? Keep reading to get all your questions solved.

What Is Meant by a Double VPN?

A VPN adds an encrypted and secure tunnel between your destination server and a device. On the other hand, a double VPN is set to provide an extra layer of security. These types of VPNs are also known as “VPN cascades,” “multihop VPN,” or as “VPN chains.”

Look for a Provider Who Offers Double VPN Feature

Only a few VPN providers have a double VPN feature designed to route the traffic between the destination and source. For instance, Nord VPN has a specially designed category for “double VPN” on its app. When this feature is enabled, the first VPN server stays hidden, and the second one acts as your default VPN. In case your provider doesn’t offer the double VPN service, you can still use it. Keep reading ahead to know-how.

Get Access to Two Different VPN Providers

It is always a good idea to protect both your VPN servers from their providers to make sure all your data on the internet is completely safe. If both your VPNs are from different providers, then you can use them one after the other. You can use the first VPN while making sure the IP address has changed and download the app for the second VPN. Also, check if the IP address of the first VPN is reflected in the second VPNs app. The only downside to this method is that the browsing speed reduces exponentially.

Use a VPN that has a Browser Proxy or an Extension

A standard VPN with a VPN extension or a browser proxy works most efficiently.  All you need to do is download a Chrome extension named uVPN and start a remote protocol on your standard VPN. This will reflect a new IP address for the Chrome extension. However, your original IP address will remain hidden.

Use VPN on a Virtual Machine

The best method to improve your anonymity on the internet is using the VPN on a virtual machine. The process of creating a virtual machine can be time-consuming on Windows 10, but it isolates all your online activities from the system.

Find a VPN with Onion Routing

Using the double VPN service can sometimes lead to speed issues, and the best way to avoid that is by using a standard VPN with an onion routing service like the Tor network. All you need to is enable the VPN server and then download the Tor software on your OS to click “Connect.” This will enable the double VPN feature. Usually, when you enter in or out of the Tor nod, you are the most vulnerable at that time. Your ISPs may track your down at this very moment. However, by setting up the double VPN service, they would hardly get any chance.

We hope this article helped you understand what a double VPN is and how to set it even if your VPN server doesn’t provide one.

Guide to Improve Security Shield in Microsoft Defender

Windows 10 users might be aware of the Microsoft Defender or Windows Defender – an in-built security tool that protects your device from malware. It silently works in the background and unleashes real-time security agents that check for changes in several areas of your system to find out the issues caused by spyware. It is powerful enough to remove ActiveX software, and it also has integrated support for the Microsoft SpyNet that helps you report spyware and other susceptible changes. All of its powerful features always work in the background to improve the security on your device. But you can take this security one step higher and save your desktop using the methods given below:

Remove Hidden Malware

Windows Defender automatically performs a Quick Scan on your system every day to check if there are any threats in your folders. But you can choose to do it manually by going to the Settings. Then, click on Update & Security and select Windows Security. Then, click on Virus & Threat Protection and tap on Quick Scan.

You can also choose to do a Full Scan by clicking on the Scan options. Doing so will ensure that all the programs and files on your PC get checked. If you want to check only a few files and folders, then click on Custom Scan. If you believe that the scan has failed to find the errors you suspected, then click on Microsoft Defender Offline Scan to find it hard to detect files. Don’t forget to take the backup of essential files and documents as these procedures might remove your files and restart the device to eliminate the errors.

If any error is detected while scanning, your PC’s screen will blackout, and you’ll be prompted to remove the errors. Your device will boot back to normal once the procedure gets completed.

Protection Against Ransomware

You don’t want to run into the threat of getting ransomware on your device as it will block your access to the files and might even threaten to publish the stored data. Ransomware makes the victim pay for giving them access to their files, but there is no assurity if that will happen. At times, the decryption fails to work and causes you to experience some major problems.

By default, Microsoft Defender’s ransomware protection is turned off so that you can access legitimate programs. But you can enable this protection measure to ensure that you don’t get threatened by ransomware. To use this method, follow these steps:

1. Go to Virus & Threat Protection screen and navigate to Ransomware Protection.
2. Click on Manage Ransomware Protection.
3. Turn on the toggle under the Controlled Folder Access to keep your data (e.g., Pictures, videos, folders, documents, etc.) safe.
4. To increase the protection, go to Protected Folders and click on ‘Add A Protection Folder.’
5. You can choose to allow some programs to access the files by clicking on ‘Allow an App Through Controlled Folder Access.’

Automatically Block Malware

As we mentioned, your device gets real-time protection against malware via Microsoft Defender. It also uses its updated virus definition to scan and block any unknown threat appearing on your device. It also offers a Cloud-Delivered Protection feature that protects the device against threats and uploads details about Microsoft’s suspicious files to check if they are safe for your system.

Usually, these features are enabled by default, but you should always check if these have been turned off, so ensure that you don’t let any malware fixate on your device. Sometimes, security programs for different purposes disable these settings automatically. So, ensure that you check these settings and enable the necessary features. You can make the settings using the steps mentioned below:

1. Go to Virus & Threat Protection and click on Manage Settings.
2. Under the same setting section, switch on the toggle for Cloud-Delivered Protection.
3. Turn on the toggle for Automatic Sample Submission to submit the analysis of the suspicious files to Microsoft.

You can rely on Microsoft to protect your privacy, and in case they detect any dangerous file on your desktop, they will block it on your PC and other Microsoft Defender users’ systems. They focus on securing the whole community.

Configure Defender’s Firewall Settings

Windows or Microsoft Defender Firewall can protect you as long as you keep the useful toggles on securing your system. Go to Windows Security and click on Firewall & Network Protection to ensure that the toggles for Domain, Private, and Public options are turned on. You can navigate to the Advanced Settings to customize the rules and regulations of the security settings. From the Advanced Settings, choose Inbound Rules (for controlling the data in your PC) or Outbound Rules (for managing data transfer). You can also choose to block some ports using the following steps:

1. From the Advanced Settings, select Inbound Rules and click on New Rule given on the right-hand sidebar.
2. From the New Inbound Rule Wizard, click on Port and tap on Next.
3. In the box given for Specific Local Ports, insert ’21’ and click on Next.
4. Now, select Block the Connection, and click twice on Next.
5. Add a name for the new rule, and click on Finish to apply the changes.
6. If you are unsatisfied with the new rule you created or experienced any problems, click on it and select Disable Rule or Delete.

These methods will help you make the most out of Microsoft Defender and get the best security levels on your desktop.
