pmoore Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If there is a cinema shooting in Gangster Squad then the scene will probably need to be cut or the movie could be pulled.The fact that it was poised to be the biggest movie of the year just adds to the sensationalism...

bobbyk1133 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If there is a cinema shooting in Ganster Squad then the scene will probably need to be cut or the movie could be pulled.I just watched the trailer for this and there is NO WAY that scene makes the final cut.

The Dark Alfred Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Obviously families will be affected, but I have no clue how the public will react. I suppose most people still go to the cinema, why wouldn't they? It's not like that you will not jump into your car, just because you heard that there was a big car crash on the highway. It's not like you're not going to the mall, any sport event, theatre, train, any public venue because of one single incident. There were shootings at schools, malls, and plenty of other public venues unfortunately. You can never get prepared for a lunatic act like this. It's incredibly sad and tragic.

CloneWars Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Two major tragedies, first the passing of Heath Ledger, and now this, but this is very sad and unexpected. I can't believe this happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackO Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I dont see anyone tweeting that they aren't gonna see TDKR just because of what happenedhttps://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%23TDKR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I have no idea why the media thinks it's so important that it happened at a Batman film. They don't even have to mention Batman in the headlines, they could just say "14 dead in Colorado cinema shooting" or something. Yet the news sites I have visited all say Batman in the headline.But they are not twisting facts or anything.... it did happen during TDKR screening and TDKR is a big name so they are not going to let it go..... that's how media works.

CoolioD1 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If there is a cinema shooting in Gangster Squad then the scene will probably need to be cut or the movie could be pulled.If you watch the trailer or the TV spots, there's a bit where some gangsters shoot their machine guns through a cinema screen into an audience of people, and they've been using that as the big "money shot" in all the marketing. They're definitely going to be taking a different direction now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 If I was in line and heard about this, I probably would have left too. Its not like I can shut off my mind and watch a movie after hearing about something like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It kinda is a big deal though, right? I don't think there's ever been a shooting like this in the cinema. I haven't watched the BBC news yet, but I suppose I'll see what they have to say about it at the 1PM news. I can't help, but think that Western people are very self-centered. There are hundreds of people dying violent deaths in Syria right now, and yet Western media have "batman movie shooting" as their main story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Do we know if any of our posters were in that screening. I hope not. This is such sad news. Cocho ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) The ironic and scary thing is that when you were doing crow reporting earlier what you said about police been there caught my attention and I started thinking about that.Yea, I thought about it to because in New York they are ahead of the curve about having Police in the Theater, I hope the whole country now takes notice. Again this should never happen in a theater, they have to take measure. Now they are reporting kids got hurt too. Guys I know we are talking about box office but this is serious, I think it could hurt the movie cause again this is very serious.

Sims Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'll believe the doomsday predictions about box office when I see numbers. I really feel like we overestimate the influence of variables like these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, she didn't realize that there was also a stuntman who died during filming of TDK so it wasn't just Ledger. No matter how anyone tries to explain it, this thing is just incredibly sad for the victims, their families, and everyone who had to witness it. Unimaginable.
