BVS is gonna make a lot of money for WB, mess or not.

If its as bad as it looks, it doesn't bode well for their plans to build off that film over the next few years.

I love that the trailer for Fantastic Beasts trots out the Harry Potter theme to try and convince audiences that this is a continuation of some sorts and not an entirely original story. Wizard hasn't even been gone 5 years and already he's being cashed in. The shamelessness of it all.

 

Maybe FANTASTIC BEASTS will introduce a new American wizard late in the movie: Larry Otter.

Except a lot of people think it looks great. And they also are really looking forward to the Justice League movie and individual spinoffs. So I don't think personal opinion will matter much (whether yours or mine).

That's who Colin Farrell is playing, probably.

Who are these "lot of people" you speak of? 

 

Snyder hasn't made one good movie, and even the trailers for this have been bad, which is usually the only thing he has going for him. They've given him the Justice League movies too. 

 

Pray for the DCCU.

Wrong. Farrell's character is called Ray Velcoro.

I am one of those. And like me there are many many more

Charlie Hunnam is the movie star Hollywood has been longing for so long.

Even just glancing through the BVS thread shows a lot of people who're really excited. (And yes, a lot of bitching too, but that's to be expected for a Snyder movie).

 

It's Batman and Superman! It's the first appearance of Wonder Woman? Are you telling me basically every comic fan won't be interested in at least checking it out?

 

I'm agnostic about all this: I'm not a big fan of Snyder and the trailers for BVS don't really excite me much. And I'm not a huge comic fan anyway. But I think the movie's gonna do well, regardless of how I feel about it.

This is incorrect. He's really playing a character named Eatamus Myshitamus.

I think Warner is shooting its load a bit too early.

 

Man of Steel 2 becomes almost The Justice League with the Holy Trinity.

 

Too soon, no build up.

 

Paging Kevin Feige.

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

[The Futurist]

It s crazy to think Zacky plays the role of Kevin Feige for Warner/DC though.

 

 

[Magic]

People will go for that reason, but once the novelty wears off, they will have to make good films to keep bringing them back to these DC movies. I'm yet to be convinced that anyone at WB/DC knows what they are doing. Zack Snyder should be directing the next Nicki Minaj music video, not Justice League.

Not really true, though. He's certainly not the sole guy in charge of their overall vision.

[The Futurist]

I am sure there are other guys behind the scenes but he s doing BvS & the Justice League Movies, he was the one that cast WW, a pretty big decision & judging from his interviews, he seems knee deep involved into the DC verse.

Sure, he's involved. The others are Deborah Snyder, Charles Rosen, Greg Silverman & Jon Berg (WB), Diane Nelson & Geoff Johns (DC). I assume Johns has as much clout as anyone.

And people conveniently forget home video, the Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman toys and shirts thall be sold, plus this is the type of movie TNT and FX would love to shell out for.

I think a number of people would disagree with you, there.

There's no pleasing some people. Had DC gone the slow, individual movie approach, they'd be complaining that WB's just copying Marvel and not trying to do their own thing.

 

(I'd argue that there's no need for them to take it slow. Bats and Supes are already as recognizable as any fictional character can be, and WW isn't far behind. They don't need the setup.)
