Hello guys,
I work at WB (non American division), but by no means I am a higher up guy, nor do I get to attend the big boys meetings; BUT I get to hear and read secrets that only very few get to know. You can say that I am the guy that has to do all the paper work, attend calls and get coffee and in doing so I get to know stuff that is usually WAY above my pay grade.
So, I have stuff to share about Justice League and other future movies. It's all random stuff I stumbled upon so if its feels, well, random, so don't judge me too harshly. Also, I am not going to even try to prove my credentials because well its reddit, no one cares about the truth and I like my job.
- WB acknowledges that there is negative press against the DCEU. They hoped it would all go away after the success of WW but it didn't. On a more personal note, it’s amazing the amount of fake news that is spread about DCEU movies, and none of them are ever positive, don’t you wonder why! Any let me assure you guys that these ‘news’ are built upon lies upon lies upon lies and by now if you didn’t knew the inside stuff you would also wonder what the hell is going on, but truth is everything is going fine.
- Zack Snyder actually only brought in Joss Whedon after he felt need of more dialogue scenes between JL members, mostly the scenes involving Flash and Cyborg. Ben Affleck and Snyder also wrote some dialogues for the movie, as did several other writers while shooting. DON'T WORRY, it's a normal practice.
- Reshoots are over for JL.
- There is barely 15 minute worth of pickups shot during reshoots and barely one or two are actual new scenes, most of the stuff shot was filler shots. Funny thing is one of the shot that required entire JL team had to reschedule again and again for two months, because for some reason or other the cast won’t be available. Getting Ezra and Cavill to come back was a real pain in the ass, but it all worked out in the end.
- This news I am hearing about Cavill moustache removal costing 25 million or whatever. I mean WTH! Its fake news, also reshoots didn’t cost anywhere close to 25 million.
- Ben Affleck is renegotiating his contract, as there are several Batman related movies in development with several small appearances required from him. He wants a solid layout for the future films so that he can work on his films in the future; also, he wants to spend time with his children. He IS going to appear in one more DCEU film at least.
- Next standalone Superman movie is much further in pre-production stage then you can imagine. The reason WB is not announcing it is because they want Justice League reveal of Superman rebirth to be not anti-climactic. The movie will be announced early next year.
- Elseworld universe is real, WB are approached by esteemed film makers who want to make films based on these DC characters but without the restraints of DCEU framework. You guys won’t believe the quality of directors in line but it will all be announced next year, hopefully soon enough. Zack Snyder has also shown interest in one of the projects, but it’s too soon and nothing is specifically mentioned (at least around me).
- Zack Snyder is very much still in control of the DCEU, whether you like it or not, everything that is happening now or in future of DCEU films are based off of his ‘chart’ (and boy team at WB get giddy at the mention of the ‘chart’).
- Regarding the reshoots of Justice League, Whedon is not as much as directing those shots but coordinating. Some of the action shot were shot by shot interpretation of pre-vis and storyboarding done Snyder’s team. WB is planning on publishing these story-board concepts in the form of book, of all three Snyder films in the future, as a tribute to his work and vision.
- That reminds me, all those reports claiming Snyder is getting booted after Justice League have no freaking idea what he means to WB and the team working on these movies. Everything that exist today in DCEU and the awesome future projects are all part of plan made by Snyder, remember when I mentioned the chart. From personal experience I can confirm his place in future DCEU is much more secure than some producers working on these movies. Some people (especially that rascal!!!) surely getting a boot but it’s not Snyder.
- Yes, several screenings for Justice League had already taken place AND no I have no freaking clue what the movie is like. I never watched a single shot that is not in the trailer.
- But, the reception is positive, from what I’ve heard.
- Flash has a director. I don’t know who. That reminds me, just because you don’t hear announcement regarding a director or film doesn’t mean that’s how things are. Media has signed directors and then fired them on behalf of WB so many times, its mind boggling.
- Shazam and Justice League Dark projects are both going in production next year. Nightwing MIGHT also start production, but nothing is concrete at the moment.
Bonus
David Yates and J.K. Rowling proposed the idea of Harry Potter appearing in future movies to Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint and the response was enthusiastic. Don’t know about Emma Watson, but I hope she returns as well.
Order of the Phoenix will feature in future films; both Lily and James Potter will make an appearance. Longbottoms will also appear.
I am not sure, but time travel is mentioned a lot while discussing these movies. I THINK, Voldemort if also somehow coming back. The truth is Rowling wants these stories to connect and WB couldn’t be happier.
There is also a solid possibility that these stories will start from the past and continue in the future of Harry Potter world.
That’s all I got. I typed this on phone, and there are lots of mistakes (I KNOW!). I will post this and then leave. I may not reply. Hope you guys understand.
. Cái JL này tin đồn lá cải nhiều lắm.
