clockwork Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 27 minutes ago, ThomasNicole said: I'm pretty confident they won't obligate Matt Reeves which is a respected director to change his entire movie, they're probably just talking about options that could or could not be made, like it happen with every movie. And honestly, some changes happen for the best, this idea of "change some things in a movie = the movie is being destroyed" is very ignorant, sometimes it makes the project better. It really is a case by case basis kinda thing. WB let James Gunn have free reign with his Suicide Squad movie and it worked out for them, (quality wise more than box office it seems). Hopefully they did the same with Matt Reeves and his vision for the project is actually solid. And yes you're right; some changes do happen for the best, and they still got a good amount of time to iron out as many kinks as they can. We'll likely get an actual legit trailer by October or November the latest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I fully believe WB will be letting Reeves do his thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftcat Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Charitable read: perhaps Reeves has delivered a stripped-down neo-noir that's light on bombast (even compared to the "grounded" Nolan flicks), and WB is concerned it won't strike a chord with general audiences.

Part of me thinks so because I'm not sure the box office will be improved all that much come March of next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It would be sad if this movie has to be day and date. It’s supposed to be the start of a trilogy, so it would be unfortunate if its box office numbers got diluted. Also, no new trailer yet, I take it?

grey ghost Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) WB is under new management. With internal and external pressure this will get a 45-day theater exclusive window. Edited August 6, 2021 by grey ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WittyUsername Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 After how much the past three DC movies have underperformed (though WW84 and TSS at least have the pandemic and the dual release as an excuse), the pressure is going to be on for this movie to do well. I just hope it can get a Cinemascore rating that’s higher than a B+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will also begin to be more questions asked not only about "Why can't Warner Bros. get it right with these DC properties?" but also "Why can't Hollywood make good blockbusters anymore?" The answers are as much about studio's and creatives' perspectives as they are about audience wants and needs and expectations -- but audiences are conditioned by the bubblegum they're fed. If SHANG CHI and one or two other MARVELs also under-perform, questions will begin to be asked about this whole model. My gut feeling is that the genre cycle in the evolution of the multiverse concept may reach a natural implosion sometime next year, where COVID effects, audience ambivalence, narrative recycling of past histories, and simply multiple successive studio/creative misfires will cause an industry-wide re-think on superheroes.

Here’s my question whenever people ponder if/when capes go out of fashion: what trend/genre/whatever would take their place? because if you look at movies before say 2000 (XMen) a lot of the popular action movies had for eons been buddy comedies or Spielberg/Cameron blockbusters (and their imitators) and so forth. You could argue the staleness of an epoch of what was proven reliable (since the 70s/80s) was what gave opening for Supes films to hit and make Hollywood go on a bandwagon. of course as anybody who’ve studied film history knows, the movies that actually change the movies are the unexpected ones. Who in 1972 would’ve figured a shark film and a homage to Flash Gordon serials out in a few years would capture popular imagination and shift industry paradigm into 4 quadrant aiming blockbusters? Who in 2002 could imagine that the franchise will in a decade become quaint, no you need a universe? And so forth. of course what if the next cinematic paradigm shift for better or worse isn’t built for the big screen but for the tablet? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
