Before: “hey we can get Robert Zemeckis to do our Flash movie!”

 

After:  “i hope you guys like the guys who did Vacation”

[AndyK]

Was not a fan of Homecoming at all, probably the bottom of the 2017 SH list for me.

True, but here's the thing:

 

Did you hear any official statement about Zemeckis from studio?

We go from Robert Zemeckis and Sam Raimi to the writers of Spiddrman Homecoming and Vacation???

Can you blame them after the Snyder experience?

 

Nope. The days of hearing about WB courting big names for their movies are over.

 

We’re about to get a full-on MCU clone franchise. The real conversation we should be having is “why would audiences see the knock-off when they could just wait for the real thing?”

This is the end of the DCEU.

BvS was the end of the DCEU, it just took a bit for the body to stop twitching.

 

Anyway, the question here is whether they'll still be the directors a few months from now.

This site is like mini Twitter sometimes, it’s hilarious.

Well it is not Sam Raimi...

You mad about Raimi when Lord and Miller got screwed the worse.

Urgh.

 

Spider-Man Homecoming was so by-the-numbers and forgettable.

 

Vacation was chronic. 

To be fair here, I just had another look at Homecoming at...er...home, and there are SIX credited screenwriters (credited as three duos, I believe) -- and that means there might have been even more uncredited -- so, uh, I wouldn't blame these guys for everything.

 

(Hey, look, I'm being fair to Warner Bros./DC Entertainment and Marvel.  See?  It's possible.)

Well...this obviously means that the existing material didn't attract them enough to sign on.  So it's on WB.

 

[Macleod]

And uh...don't conveniently forget about Affleck's ARGO, which had plenty of comedy within a dramatic context.  That's probably the balance WB are looking for, here, and why they very nicely offered this to the 'Fleck.  But it's obvious that his heart's not in this anymore. 

[Krissykins]

I suppose Russo Brothers did You Me And Dupree just before their marvel films.

 

Vacation has a higher RT score than that, lol. 

 

Maybe its not so bad?

Great Directors For Flashpoint.

Tbh this makes way more sense, I thought affleck was done so it just sounded strange.

 

Either way I don’t care but it just seemed weird that he dropped out of directing Batman and seems to be transitioning out of the role as well only to direct the flash?

So, another lie from BIG publisher.

 

Nothing new.

This is dumb. Give me Lord/Miller, god damnit.

I think what happened with "Live By Night" chilled Warners enthusiasm for Affleck as a director considerably.

Sure...but I'll still believe Variety, the original Hollywood trade journal, over Collider/Weintraub anyday.

Oh, absolutely. The Bible of Showbiz gets it wrong occasionaaly, but not very often. They actually check out stories, like a good journalist does, instead of passing on every stray rumor that  comes along.

ANyway,pretty clear that Affleck and Warners have soured on each other as far as the DCU is concerned.
