‘Titans’ Crew Member’s 2019 Death Sees Toronto FX Company Fined Over $100K In Canadian Court

EXCLUSIVE: Over two and a half years after Titans special effects coordinator Warren Appleby was killed while prepping a shoot for the Warner Bros superhero series, a Toronto court has finally handed down some justice.
Acme FX were fined $110,000 in Canadian dollars plus a “25% victim fine surcharge” on February 22 by Ontario Court of Justice.

The final charge was the lesser of those original set against Acme FX, but the first court was withdrawn, according to court documents. Perhaps even more cruelly, industry vet Appleby was a partner in Acme FX.

Quickly taken to a nearby hospital, the 45-year old Appleby died of his injuries in transit. Ontario’s Ministry of Labour began an investigation into what went wrong fairly promptly, which led to the charges and last month’s guilty plea.
A GoFundMe site was set up to raise money for Appleby’s wife and their two young sons. Having fallen short of its goal, the site is still partially active – as you can see here.

‘Moon Knight’ Director Slams ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Over Egypt Scenes: ‘It Was a Disgrace’
Zack Sharf Marvel’s upcoming series “Moon Knight” features four of six episodes directed by Mohamed Diab, the Egyptian screenwriter and filmmaker best known for his feature directorial debut “Cairo 678” and his 2021 Venice world premiere “Amira.” The Marvel series incorporates elements of Ancient Egyptian mythology in telling the story of Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac), a mercenary who becomes the conduit of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, so it was of upmost importance for Diab when signing onto the series that it did right by Egyptian representation.“In my pitch, there was a big part about Egypt, and how inauthentically it has been portrayed throughout Hollywood’s history,” Diab recently told SFX Magazine. “It’s always exotic – we call it orientalism.
