'Justice League' Snyder Cut to come to HBO Max in 2021

The four-hour-long Zack Synder version of the Justice League is finally coming. The director made the announcement during the DC FanDome virtual convention on Saturday. It'll be released on HBO Max in 2021 in four, one-hour segments and an option to watch the entire film in full. For those without access to the streaming service, Snyder said a "distribution plan" to release the movie outside of HBO Max is in the works.

You can see the full three-minute trailer above, which the film fans have been clamouring for since the theatrical version came out in November 2017. Fans felt the movie compromised the director's original vision for it. He had to step away from the project in May 2017 due to a family tragedy. Joss Whedon took over directing duties from him. It already sets a darker, more sombre tone than the theatrical version and a look at apex villain Darkseid who didn't make the theatrical cut.

Facebook to drop its 'classic' website look in September

Whether you like the Facebook redesign on the web or not, you're going to be stuck with it soon. Facebook is letting the "classic" look disappear in September. The redesign first appeared in May and became the new default for users. But you could still opt out of using it. That option will be disappearing next month. If you still want to hold onto the blue theme, you have less than a few weeks to enjoy it.

Apple claims Epic requested for special treatment

Apple has finally responded to Epic's lawsuit with claims that the gaming giant requested special treatment on multiple occasions. The company produced three emails from Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, marking Apple's first legal response against Epic since their dispute spilled into courts. The claim that Epic sought a "special deal" was something Sweeney refuted earlier this month, saying they are "fighting for open platforms and policy changes equally benefiting all developers." 

But Apple's filing on Friday disputes this point. "On June 30, 2020, Epic's CEO Tim Sweeney wrote my colleagues and me an email asking for a 'side letter' from Apple that would create a special deal for only Epic that would fundamentally change the way in which Epic offers apps on Apple's iOS platform," Phil Schiller, former Apple Senior Vice President and now Apple Fellow, said.
