The best move would be to cut a deal with the SAG and WGA so the strike can end.

The success of Wonder Woman and Aquaman is proof that DC can succeed outside of Batman. They just fumbled the ball after that. The Walter Hamada movies had no identity.

I think announcing the reboot as soon as they did could be considered a bad decision. It sure doesn’t seem to be doing their 2023 slate any favors. In his possible defense though, maybe that was something Zaslav told him to do. I also think it was pretty pointless for them to reshoot the ending of The Flash, just so they could troll the audience with a George Clooney cameo. Seriously though, the timing of the DCU could not have been worse. I’m pretty certain the announcement of a new Superman wouldn’t have been nearly as divisive if WB hadn’t made a big fuss less than two months earlier over Henry Cavill’s supposed return. It doesn’t help that we still don’t have a lot of clarity on what is considered canon to the DCU. By the way, can we stop to acknowledge that James Wan is ready to move on from DC at this point, while Andy Muschietti is being given a Batman movie?

I’m pretty sure Tom Cruise has more than enough clout that he’d be able to participate in the strikes without having to worry about it hurting his career.

I don’t think Eternals was a paycheck thing. I do think Zhao genuinely tried to make something special. There’s just a limit to how far you can do something like that with the 26th movie in a massive shared universe. The fact that she was inexperienced with such a thing perhaps didn’t help.

Gerwig is free to direct whatever she wants. If she wants to direct a superhero movie or a Star Wars movie, that would be her prerogative. I’m not sure if it would be fulfilling for her as a creative, but she did help write an upcoming Disney live action remake, so it doesn’t seem that she’s particularly interested in being an indie filmmaker.

My personal stance on Grace Randolph is that she’s just another run of the mill YouTube influencer who has a weirdly personal disdain for Jessica Chastain, for some reason. I’m not sure why people are so fixated on her.

I don’t really know if the Flash movie would’ve fared that much better if they kept the ending with Michael Keaton and Sasha Calle at the courthouse. I would’ve much preferred it over the joke ending they ultimately went with, but the film had a bunch of other problems besides that.

Rotten Tomatoes has become a lot more broad about who gets to post reviews on their website in the past five years.

Lol, that Christian Toto guy complained that this movie has a “man-hating agenda.”

I wasn’t as crazy about Dunkirk as I hoped I’d be when I first saw it, but it did get better for me on rewatch. I’ve still only seen Tenet once, so maybe I should revisit that.

Luckily, James Wan is an accomplished enough director that his career should survive something like this, but I imagine he’ll stick to horror for the foreseeable future.

Why even continue to listen to test screenings after the Flash debacle?

I’m seeing 98 reviews right now, and it looks like the average rating is back at a 9.

I’m not sure I see why that would matter.

95% with 83 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Average rating is at 8.9. It’s Joever guys!

Director: Makes a successful movie The Internet: “What superhero movie should they direct?”

I’m not sure if franchise filmmaking in general is really where his interest lies. The main reason he decided to do Batman was so he could gain some experience working on big studio films before making Inception.

I cannot imagine any conceivable scenario where does a Jurassic Park film.

Harley Quinn cosplay was all the rage in 2016. She was a huge fad at that time, despite the less than stellar reception to the movie. I suppose in that sense, WB’s efforts to retool the movie into a GotG/Deadpool clone kind of worked out, since I’m not sure that David Ayer’s gloomier and more “dramatic” film would’ve produced those same results. I believe she was the one who shopped the movie to WB after Sony rejected it, but I’m not 100% sure. I do know her casting predates Greta Gerwig’s involvement.

Where does Nolan go after this anyway?

What are you basing this on?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to do a Ken spin-off or something.

I don’t know if I’m looking forward to people inevitably wanting Gerwig to direct the Supergirl movie. I’m pretty sure people on Reddit are already expecting that.

I think some people theorized it was so they could steal the thunder from Oppenheimer.
