Some spoilery set pics of Tyler, Mackie, and More
It sure looks like:
Thaddeus Ross's funeral. I'm wondering if Harrison Ford's "Thunderbolt" Ross is supposed to be the brother of William Hurt's character, who stayed in the military when Hurt's Ross took a civilian cabinet position.

I like the change. I’ll take Aldous Huxley (“Brave New World”) over George H.W. Bush (“New World Order”) any day.

Yikes. I hated the Huxley novel. It bored me to tears. I would have stopped reading it in the middle if it hadn't been assigned for school. Hopefully borrowing it is not indicative of what they're actually doing here.

Apparently, the title was changed because of its anti-semitic meaning.

The title of the Huxley novel is itself referencing Shakespeare's The Tempest. In the final act, Prospero's daughter Miranda remarks:
O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in ‘t!
There's a certain irony behind her exclamation; she has grown up on the island and has been sheltered from the world at large. Now she joins it with wide-eyed optimism. But there is a certain irony underlying her words, because the audience knows that the same people she finds so "goodly" and "beauteous" have proven themselves to be selfish, disloyal, cruel and even murderous.

I would guess the title (both versions) is simply referencing the fact that the Blip has upended the world order and there are still a lot of dangerous unknowns as the world struggles to reach a new equilibrium.

From cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau: filming has wrapped.

If you lean left/right someone will find something wrong with anything.

Oh, of course not. There will be additional work to be done on the film in due course before it can come out. But it is probably still a relief to have the principal photography finished before any possible prolonged period of work stoppage.
