THE SUICIDE SQUAD | August 6 2021 | James Gunn writing and directing

[Mojoguy]

The trailer company "Trailer Park" is already getting ready to do the editing for this movie they did with the first SS.

[Napoleon]

Good, another big hit at the box office then.

From the visionary dudes that brought you the Warner Brother trailers from the last 4 years

LOL Love how the usual suspects already have their snarky tongues and sharpened claws ready.

I am no DC hater but the first one wasn't that good at all. And the novelty of villains being the main characters is now gone. Can see a big drop

The 'novely' of seeing superheroes and/or supervillains onscreen should have also been gone by now, and yet here we are, with three superhero films as the top grossing films of the summer. Audiences don't make their moviegoing decisions using those criteria ("Hell no! Another supervillain team up? Pass!")...

Ya he was supposedly the front runner but since he never signed on I guess we'll see who comes next. Mel Gibson hopefully lol

I'm guessing they got WB and Disney to deal on this because The Rock wanted Patty Jenkins for this movie. Must have been a lot of wrangling behind the scenes to keep Jenkins going on WW2 while giving Serra up.

Jaume Collet-Serra is gone

This movie is in trouble

Ya they were about to start filming next week, maybe they'll cancel the DCEU now.

Good career choice for the director.

 

I have a hard time seeing a big name director doing SS2 considering SS was extremely mediocre and no one wants to do sloppy seconds. 

 

Go with an up and coming director who is willing to work with studio to make a fun solid movie. Gareth Edwards has no project lined up since rogue one (has his reputation taken a big hit since then? Let's face it, rogue one was a giant mess which was nicely saved by getting a new director and pumping lots of money in reshoots/vfx and changing character arcs and story bits) so get him up while you can.

Let's hope that's what what happened and if that's so then let's also hope they've got someone else lined up.

Yes, skip a film that will likely be the biggest hit of your career, and instead he should do another 'Jungle adventure type movie with The Rock which won't likely bomb, but will under-perform given how much people prop Rock up as some ridiculously huge draw for anything he's in.  Seriously Dwayne is so overexposed right now, it's borderline absurd.  He has so many projects (most of which sound horrible as is his forte) upcoming.  By the time he gets around to Black Adam, nobody going to watch him do much of anything anymore. LOL

 

Serra would have been solid for the material ... and I'd kind of accepted him as directing it, but whomever they get probably won't be some huge downgrade.

If the movie is already predicted to be hit because of the franchise, I don't think the industry will give you much credit and green light power because of it, Ayer did the first one, giant success and he is not in solid footing to do the next DC entry. Did Chris Columbus status changed much because of the first 2 Harry Potter giant success ? Sam Taylor-Johnson has yet to do a second movie after 50 shades of gray made 571 million (almost 15 time it's budget), Catherine Hardwicke after twilight, etc... etc...

 

It need to be perceived that the success was in part because of the actual movie and the direction (Spider-Man 1/2, Batman dark night trilogy, Lords of the rings, Transformer and so on)

7. Big Trouble in Little China (????) ... Production Company
8. Doc Savage (????) ... Production Company

10. San Andreas 2 (????) ... Production Company
11. Son of Shaolin (????) ... Production Company

I think someone like Jordan Vogt-Roberts could do this movie. Did a good job with Kong: Skull Island.

Given how long that's been gestating, he could do Suicide Squad 2 and then MGS.
