According to The Hollywood Reporter, Margot Robbie is set to lead a brand-new “female-fronted” Pirates of the Caribbean film from Disney. Birds of Prey writer Christina Hodson is set to write the script, which will not be a spinoff of the original franchise surrounding Jack Sparrow, but will instead be an entirely new story inspired by the Disney parks ride of the same name.

Disney is also working on a reboot of the series, with Pirates writer Ted Elliott and Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin heading up the project. It is unconfirmed whether Johnny Depp will return to the franchise for the reboot, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer indicated that he was unsure on whether or not the actor would reprise his role of Jack Sparrow.

Colorado Governor Orders Probe Into 2019 Death Of Elijah McClain After Police Encounter

tmp72819ebc-abb5-46db-940b-b1189ac417a0-jpg

On Thursday, Colorado Governor Jared Polis appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the 2019 death of an unarmed Black man who died days after he was subdued by three policemen and injected with a powerful sedative. The state’s attorney general, Phil Weiser, will probe the death of 23-year-old Elijah McClain, who died following an encounter with police who applied a chokehold on him. During the incident, paramedics injected him with ketamine and he lapsed into a coma from which he never recovered.

Back in November, Adams County District Attorney Dave Young said there was insufficient evidence for him to charge the officers with any crimes. Young said that McClain was approached by officers on reports of a man acting erratically in the city of Aurora on Aug. 24, 2019, although he was not suspected of committing a crime.

On Thursday, Young said McClain’s death was “tragic and unnecessary,” but defended his decision not to prosecute the officers. An autopsy said the cause of death was undetermined and the pathologist was unable to conclude the officers’ actions caused the death.

House Passes Wide-Ranging Police Reform Bill

tmpa044812f-ef44-4c43-bbcf-86f15a5a95b4-jpg

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a wide-ranging Democratic police reform bill on Thursday, sending the measure to the Senate despite opposition from President Donald Trump and other Republicans in Congress. The Democratic-controlled House voted 236-181 roughly along party lines to adopt the legislation.  The reform bill comes one month to the day after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody sparked weeks of worldwide protests over police brutality. Democrats named their legislation “The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.”

The Democratic bill mandates changes in law and policy to rein in police misconduct, but is unlikely to be taken up in the Republican-led Senate, and it also faces a formal White House veto threat.   Republicans oppose the Democratic bill because of mandates they say could undermine law enforcement.

Democrats blocked the Republican reform bill on Wednesday; the Democratic and Republican bills address similar topics: chokeholds, no-knock warrants, police body cameras, use of deadly force, and training to de-escalate confrontations with suspects and to encourage officer intervention against illegal conduct as it occurs.
