    u know FORBES is magazine who used to count people money/rich right...lol......can't u be more obvious trolling...:sparta:

    Forbes can be a reliable source of information. But there is a difference between their staffed journalists and "Forbes Contributors" like Mark who don't have much oversight at all. He clearly doesn't have an editor, which is why it often takes him 3000 words to write up a 300 word story.

  2. 4 years is not a long time.

    Sitting down for an extended chat at the The British Academy of Film and Television Arts in London, Christopher Nolan reflected on “The Dark Knight” trilogy, which stands as one of the towering achievements in the superhero genre. Moreover, he notes one key ingredient to the success he had with the films — time.

     

    “That’s a privilege and a luxury that filmmakers aren’t afforded anymore. I think it was the last time that anyone was able to say to a studio, ‘I might do another one, but it will be four years’. There’s too much pressure on release schedules to let people do that now but creatively it’s a huge advantage. We had the privilege and advantage to develop as people and as storytellers and then bring the family back together,” Nolan explained.

    ‘Shang-Chi’ Marvel’s First Asian Film Superhero Franchise; Dave Callaham Scripting, Search On For Director Of Asian Descent

     Marvel Studios is fast-tracking Shang-Chi to be its first superhero movie tentpole franchise with an Asian protagonist. The studio has set Chinese-American scribe Dave Callaham to write the screenplay, and Deadline hears Marvel is already looking at a number of Asian and Asian-American directors who want to do something as potentially monumental as was accomplished in Marvel’s first viable Best Picture candidate, Black Panther. That film tied into African and African American cultures and the sensibilities of its nearly all-black cast, with a black director in Ryan Coogler and writer in Joe Robert Cole. The goal here is to do a similar thing: introduce a new hero who blends Asian and Asian American themes, crafted by Asian and Asian American filmmakers.

    I think it's pretty obvious what WB is doing when greenlighting these DC movies now, they are focusing more on diverse characters and female representation in CBM's hence the rumors about Zatanna and Jamie Reyes Bluebeetle movie. Not to mention all the previous movies in Supergirl, Batgirl and Birds of Prey. Those male-centric comic book movies won't be happening anytime soon and I think that may also affect whether Reeves Batman actually gets made or not.  

    Birds of Prey is the only movie you mentioned that has been greenlit.

    Was it? I know he got a Story credit, but I thought that just meant he wrote the first screenplay that was then page one re-written by subsequent writers? Maybe I’m mistaken, but shouldn’t he have also gotten a Screenplay credit if enough of what he wrote made it into the movie? It’s like how Zak Pen got only Story credit for Avengers because Joss Whedon rewrote the script, while Edgar Wright got both Story and Screenplay credit for Ant-Man because some of what he wrote made it into the movie. 

    The "Zak Penn" of the WW screenplay's credits is Jason Fuchs. He was one of the many writers working on screenplays when Michelle MacLaren was developing the project. Her ideas didn't pan out, then Allan Heinberg was brought on to work with Snyder to bring the script back to a more classic WW origins story. Jenkins officially replaced MacLaren a few months later and then she and Johns also got involved with the screenplay.

    Nowadays, a director is just as involved in the marketing of the movie and gets to say when to begin. This movie needs great marketing and lots of positivity in order to break out like Suicide Squad/Deadpool. 

     

    Frankly, this has more potential at the boxoffice. Comedy+Action+Adventure+Colorful+fun lead= $$$

     

    Zachary is taking a page from Ryan by being very involved on social media.

    Not really the case at all for most filmmakers working today. Sandberg doesn't even have control over when the first costume reveal is and he's the one being asked about these set photos on social media all the time.
