The DC/WB Superhero Movies Thread

[Ivan Drago]

Haha, he's talking about it like there's been any movement on the movie since it was announced last year. The guy's about to do his Attica movie, and then that sci-fi movie with Charlie Kaufman

Is this for real or should I retain my skepticism?

Although last I heard Kaufman's script is getting a rewrite. Probably to make it a lot less weird since it's supposed to be for the YA crowd.

Haha, he's talking about it like there's been any movement on the movie since it was announced last year. The guy's about to do his Attica movie, and then that sci-fi movie with Charlie Kaufman, and he just announced that he's definitely directing Live Die Repeat and Repeat. I share Ivan's skepticism that he'll stay on it until it comes out.

Yeeep, most likely this. I would love to see him do it though. Hell I was game for him on the Gambit movie. Either way, as long Liman keeps getting to make movies (especially sci-fi-y ones), I won't complain.

Who should direct a Justice League Dark movie? My god would I love to see a live action JLD...

[Dukefrukem]

Well. I know who I want directing this.

[Skitch]

I'd be decently okay with any of those three, but I'd love it to be Zemeckis. Can't help but feel he would knock it out of the park.

[Lazlo]

Zemeckis is out of the running, I thought. Recently announced he was starting on a new movie.

Wasn't Justice League Dark supposed to be Del Toro's baby?

One of his thousand irons. Never believe a DT project until it begins filming.

Del Toro said last year that he dropped out of the project because WB wanted it to be in production at the same time as Pacific Rim 2 and he chose to do the latter, which he's now not even doing anymore. Dude kinda needs to keep his life organized.

And he was talking about how he had ideas for a Star Wars movie and wanted to do some low key movies.

He's the new George Lucas.

[Winston*]

I mean, it's not like he's not doing anything. Aside from the Hobbit period he's put out a film every two years this decade. He's got something coming out later this year with Sally Hawins and Michael Shannon.

[TGM]

So early reception for Wonder Woman is apparently very positive. I'm pleased to hear it, and really hope it actually lives up to the hype.

[Skitch]

Reshoots firing up for JL...what if they said "Hey, Joss, welcome as Batgirl director! Now wanna see JL and give us notes?" I know reshoots are normal part of the process, but I hope they were smart enough to utilize the new asset.

[TGM]

So apparently, following a family tragedy, Zack Snyder has stepped down as director for Justice League, and Joss Whedon is stepping in to finish the movie.

Just saw this. Dude's daughter committed suicide. Snyder's wife is a producer on the project & she's left too.

Damn, that's a hell of a thing. I thought it'd mostly be kinda done by now, though, with just finishing up post, right?

Props to him, tho.

Yeah, it sounds like it's mostly just post and re-shoots.

[number8]

What the fuck.

[megladon8]

That's so terrible.

Snyder is a decent guy. Met him and interviewed him briefly and he really is a good dude.

Of course, that doesn't matter with a tragedy like this - it would still be awful.

My heart goes out to them.

[number8]

The other punch in the gut is that it happened two months ago and he wanted to keep it a private matter, but only decided to release this statement now because he thinks that if word got out that Whedon is directing the reshoots and finishing the movie, fanboys will be speculating negative things about the movie.

[Dukefrukem]

Damn that's awful. This kind of situation is unrepresented.

Do you see that as a positive trait for Snyder, all things considered?

[Skitch]

That is so beyond awful and JL should be the last of his concerns.

I see it as a damningly accurate assessment of geek culture.

You don't find it odd that's where his mind goes after a family tragedy?
