I ain't seen Amber Heard in the trailer. I am still confused whether she is in a movie or not.

I keep hearing they are going back and forth on including her scenes.  Apparently they made sure she was in nothing important to give themselves that option.

Well at least it sounds like they're trying to fix the test screening issues.

It's impossible to do anymore reshoots with the SAG and WGA strikes going on. I imagine the deadline to turn in final footage is some time in November?

There should be a thread on how much this is going to lose at the box office. All these reshoots add up.

It will lose $0 and make millions of dollars.

They better not drop the ball with this one too

James Wan has never missed.

[WittyUsername]

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

I really hope Wan comes out of this alive.

[Claudio]

Seems like James Wan to die

 

[LegionWrex]

Wan has been pretty open about his dislike for doing sequels in general but I feel like his experience on Aquaman 2 is going to be the final nail in the coffin in that regard. 

 

If anything in means that next film Wan does after this is going to go sicko mode.

Imagine being James Wan.

 

Some of your accomplishments include you shepherded Fast 7 around the co leads death and delivered the highest reviewed and grossing film of the franchise.

 

You created 2 of the biggest horror franchises of all time in Saw and Insidious.

 

For WB you delivered the highest grossing DC film ever. You created the highest grossing horror franchise ever.

 

You are rewarded with WB scrapping your spin off show/film from Aquaman.

 

After, another creative who has nowhere even close to your success comes in and is your new boss. He promptly announces your films universe is over, essentially dooming all films left on the slate. He has his hands in the last 2 times the world has seen the character you crafted to not seem an absolute joke, where he has people telling him he f!cks fish and then an after credit scene where he's drunk sleeping in a puddle in the street. Now he has his hands in YOUR film changing it, after already having execs doing the same.

 

Meet the new WB, same as the old WB.

 

No wonder Wan is gone.

3 actually. Conjuring is big enough

[WittyUsername]

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.

Do I need to post the test screenings video again
