'The Flash' Movie Loses 'Dope' Director Rick Famuyiwa (Exclusive)

We can go back and forth about the quality of Marvel vs. DC movies, but at the end of the day, Marvel has been more successful with critics and at the box office. My thing with DC/Warner is this: stop trying to compete with Marvel, come up with a plan and stick with it. All I see are a bunch of reactionary moves.
The second batman film is 3x greater than anything marvel has conjured up. That piece of junk third batman film may also be superior to marvels finest.

I'm not talking about the Nolan films, Dark Knight is arguably the best comic book movie ever, strictly the Zack Synder universe. How do you come up with a movie featuring Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman teaming up for the first time and not make over a billion dollars?

"What are you even doing? I wish to God you were forced to live out of a car until you made a #1 movie of the year. Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn’t be such a mess. Don’t try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it’s another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over."
The article you posted was written in September... But that original 'rant' letter was ACTUALLY written in late July, or early August.... a whole month or so earlier. :yes:

Like I said, the WW movie was / is STILL in the 'editing room' when the 'anonymous' person wrote it... so there's no way of knowing (for a fact) how 'good or bad' it is. :smh:

---------------------------------------

Here is a response from the Director...

http://www.cinemablend.com/news/1545400/patty-jenkins-responds-to-rumors-that-wonder-woman-is-a-mess

Recently, an open letter from an anonymous alleged former Warner Bros. employee was published online, airing grievances against the company and its film slate. The letter claimed that Wonder Woman was just as much of a "mess" as Suicide Squad, and that a bad movie is hiding behind a great trailer.

Patty Jenkins took to Twitter with a series of tweets reassuring fans that Wonder Woman is doing just fine, and that there isn't a lick of truth in the letter.

"Woah, just saw this press about WW having problems. Are they serious? This is some made up bs right here. Made up! Produce a source, anyone. You can't because it's entirely false. Don't believe the hype people. Someone's trying to spread some serious misinfo. Isn't until you are intimately involved in these things that you realize how totally false these rumors can. Let me reassure you, zero about the movie we are making has been called a mess by anyone in the know. Fact. Real lasso of truth, time, will reveal that letter to be false soon enough. But lame something so transparent in its agenda gets traction." - Patty Jenkins

First off, let's preface this with no director will ever say a movie they are currently working on is bad (unless you're Josh Trank). (I agree with this part, btw :yes:)

That being said, Patty Jenkins has a point that the letter may have gotten more traction than it should have. The author only claims to be an ex-employee of Warner Bros., and provides no proof or source to this information. It should all be taken with a pretty heavy grain of salt. (And I definitely agree with this part also :yes:)

Also, the letter provides no specific problems with Wonder Woman, only using a general term like "mess" to sum up its issues. Are there actual problems with Wonder Woman? We'll have no way of knowing until the film comes out. (Agreed :yes:)
------------------------------------

Apparently, whoever wrote the letter was 'on their way out the door'.... But the whole movie wasn't even stitched together at the time they wrote this... So they do not know 'what shape' the movie is in today (in November), as compared to 3-4 Months ago. :dunno:

Just my opinion.

I totally agree with the red part. :yes:

And I think DC/WB is trying to do just that by putting Geoff Johns at the helm now.

He only got hired (or promoted) a few months ago, so it takes a minute to get everyone in line & get all the 'moving pieces' on the same page. :dunno:

He only been 'in charge' for 1 single fiscal quarter, so far.... It'll take time... Give him a minute.

That's all I'm saying.

In my mind his quote says it all about the differences between him and the studio.

He added: "I was also excited to work with Ezra Miller, who is a phenomenal young actor. I pitched a version of the film in line with my voice, humor, and heart. While it’s disappointing that we couldn’t come together creatively on the project, I remain grateful for the opportunity. I will continue to look for opportunities to tell stories that speak to a fresh generational, topical, and multicultural point of view.

this sounds too intentionally worded to not be subtly-disguised shade towards the studio.
 
Wonder woman looks ass bruh. Captain America already tackled WWII why the fuck is a super strong Diana beating up Germans in 1911 going to do. Who's the villain? Where is the conflict?

That wasn't a superhero movie or a Batman that can exist in a universe with flying demigods. And you're wrong, Batman Begins is the best of the trilogy. BB is a great film that would work if it were not a comic book movie.

Rumor Du Jour... ZEMECKIS to go faster than 88 mph with THE FLASH?!?!? Run, Barry, Run!

Hey folks, Harry here... There's a rumor floating about that Robert Zemeckis is in talks with Warner Brothers to direct THE FLASH. Well, let's think about this ... Zemeckis made Forrest run across the country ... FLASH would do that a whole lot faster... There's time travel, which Zemeckis is an expert on from BACK TO THE FUTURE. I just wish that Zemeckis could get Grant Gustin in the film. He is my Barry Allen right now. I'm also hearing that Warners is in talks with others as well. But I have to say. I like Zemeckis. He's a tour de force visual effects wizard. I'm sure he could give us something spectacular.

They're reportedly working on a new script - and I'm just wishing it had nothing to do with the Justic League or the exisiting film casting. Warners needs to free directors like Zemeckis to make the best FLASH movie they can, without trying to copy the Marvel-verse.

Run, Barry, Run will be hysterical!
