If a movie has “suicide” in the title, should it really be marketed to kids anyway?

A big dream is to see a DC movie filmed in Brazil.

after watching BoP and seeing so many positive reactions on social media, I really questioned myself for a long time whether I'm a sexiest or chauvinist.

I think the audience took a different opinion to the reactions you read. Personally i couldn't finish it. The scene where Margot Robbie single handedly batters an entire police force with bean bag guns etc was just too far fetched for me. Its failure really came as no surprise

BoP tries too much to be like the Deadpool movies. I also can’t really fathom why they decided to call the kid character ‘Cassandra Cain’, when she has absolutely nothing in common with the comic book character. Ewan McGregor is pretty good in it, though. Maybe he should’ve been the Joker in SS?

I think that'd be more of a problem if the reason for the name was that the characters were commiting suicide rather than going on suicide missions.

It’s still not the kind of title that you’d expect Happy Meal tie-ins for. Just to give an idea, the DCAU wasn’t even allowed to use that name, and the shows in that setting were able to get away with some fairly dark subject matter. Plus, the premise itself is fairly dark.

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad looks incredible. Was that shoot a rather unique experience for you?

Oh yeah! Yeah, that movie is going to be insane. The script is so funny. Every page of that script was funny, and every page made me laugh. James just has this command of that genre, but also over every aspect of comedy and even the marketing. He just understands the world so well, and since he wrote it, he really reinvents not just the concepts, but also the characters. For me, it was like I did my first comedy, but it’s like heavily R-rated. So much of the action is practical with real explosions, and yeah, that movie is going to be insane. It’s such a great cast that he put together. John Cena, that motherfucker is a comedic genius. No one would make us laugh on set more than John. Every scene he was in, he would go on an improvised tangent. There are so many chops in that cast, and James has such a command of it all. He knows exactly what he wants, and sometimes it’s going to take him ten takes to get there, or it’s going to take one. And he knows exactly when he gets what he needs because his ear is so attuned to it. It was a real learning experience for me too because I’d never done a comedy in that way before. So I asked James to work with me and teach me this shit. And yeah, we had so much fun doing it. That movie is going to be a fucking monster. Honestly, even though I’m in it, I can’t wait to see it as a fan. (Laughs.)
 

 

 

What struck me most about the first Suicide Squad movie was the close-knitcast. Granted, every press tour tries to create that impression, but you could tell there was something genuine among that group. Most of the actors gave each other “SKWAD” tattoos, like the one Will gifted you, and the two of you have remained pals ever since. And yet, it looks like The Suicide Squad’s fusion of old and new cast members also created a really special bond. Would you say that’s the case?

Yeah, there’s definitely some new members that are already becoming real friends, but there’s something about the first gang of lunatics. There was more energy put into making the movie the second time around. The first time around, there was a lot of energy put into everything around us. (Laughs.) But no, they’re such good people. It’s also something about the whole concept of being a squad. There was never a bad ego on either of these films; not the first or the second one. There was never a shitty person that was trying to suck up all the air. On both films, there were really generous, warm, funny people around that were just about feeding the collective. There’s something about the concept that really helps that vibe, and because there was a core unit from the first one, I think we brought that spirit of the first film into the second one as well.

That's James Gunn being left to his own devices by WB.  I'm sure it will be a huge hit.  But I'm not a fan, either.  Guardians and particularly Guardians 2 had some beautiful aesthetics, even if one didn't like the overall films (I know I'm one of the few in that realm, too).  But I'm not digging what I'm seeing here, which more closely resembles the dried out superhero camp of Gunn's low-budget "The Specials."  But it's a long way and there's lots of Post to go, so we'll see...

[Merkel]

The "superheroes" are silly trope is a getting a bit old by now, isn't it?

It is, and I was one of the people who liked the Suicide Squad / BOP styling. This just looks like Apocalypse Now.

[belblazer]

I don't know if it's a spoiler but Peter Safran (producer) talked about the plot to the Empire Magazine.
