Justice League Zack Snyder Directing Justice League (The Snyder Cut Edition)

[Chip Chipperson]

ed wood is one of my favorite movies ever

Getting something like that as a result of all of this would be euphoric

 

[flickchick85]

With Gunn and Berg making their stances known, and of course the Snydercut crew members doing the same, it almost feels like this is becoming a Team AT&T/HBO Max vs. Team WB/DC war. Talk about a dysfunctional corporate family.

In some ways a documentary about the behind-the-scenes troubles of this movie would be more interesting to watch than the Snyder Cut, at least for me, anyway.

Oh it absolutely does for me as well.

Why? Did she said she had similar experiences with him? I suspected they had a good working relationship having collaborated for seven years.

At the time, her leaving the show was presented as something somewhat contentious, but what the specifics were are probably not clear (was it because she was pregnant, was it just personality conflict between Joss and Carpenter?). You can google it as there are articles on it but since this is mostly early days of the internet, is not as clear.

Did Gunn come out in support of Whedon? Ugh, despite my weakness for industry gossip part of me dreads how ugly this is all going to get.

Did Gunn come out in support of Whedon?

He “liked” Alan Tudyk’s tweet in support of Whedon.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I can already picture the opening scene of a visibly uninterested christopher nolan, twirling his scarf around, halfheartedly trying to convince zack snyder to take man of steel just to secure financing on Interstellar or something

'THE AUTEUR'

 

[SwordOfMorning]

It doesn't surprise me that Whedon can be a prick. Big fan of most of his work (am I the only one who feels like the Buffyverse and Firefly are almost completely ignored in conversations about him these days? Like he was just grown in a lab by Marvel to make Avengers films then sabotage JL?) but there's always been some red flags around him.

To be perfectly honest, I also think Zack's crew is so loyal to him I don't 100% trust them not to have a staggering bias against the clean-up crew brought in by WB. Still, don't doubt Fisher is being genuine.

gonna be fun reading the DC civil war fan fics.

Snyder, Larry Fong and Clay Enos vs Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk in some random airport tarmac

She did play in the whole of season four while being pregnant, though. If she was fired because of that it must have been afterwards.


I've heard nothing of that sort regarding his TV projects. But I guess I'm not that well informed.

She was mostly absent from that season. She was essentially in a coma. They did have her come back for episode of Season 5 though.

ZSJL’s first trailer by the time it arrives:

 

[dallywhitty]

So from what I've been able to gather:

- Multiple cast members were vocal about their distaste for the rewritten dialogue, including Jeremy Irons who described them as '****ing stupid' and went off to his trailer to rewrite them himself
- Whedon was particularly unpleasant to Gadot, so much so that afterwards one of the producers forbade him from addressing the cast without a studio representative present
- Whedon refused to address Ray Fisher's concerns about his character, his stance being that he didn't take notes from Robert Downey Jr., so why would he extend that courtesy to Fisher?
- Both Gadot and her stunt double refused to do the boob faceplant scene, resulting in Whedon locking the latter in a room and threatening to end her career
- Affleck tried to convince the cast to walk out (but to no avail, obviously)
- During Gadot's final ADR session, Whedon threatened to interfere with Wonder Woman 1984 just as he did Justice League

This comes from FilmGob. A silly, silly little man. The lines given to Joss in his report have all the authenticity of that copypasta about running into a celebrity in a grocery show and provoking them into a tantrum merely by approaching them.

Wouldn't shock me if there's truth to some of it though.

It's pretty easy for this situation to blow up considering Joss and Zack has both a Hatedom and a Fandom in and out of the industry. Naturally people are going to take sides.

I always felt there was a second level to his consistently wearing those shirts and speaking up for Zack. On the one obvious hand, it was support for what Zack was going through. But also, I got the sense it was a bit passive aggressive because he was not happy with what they were doing in Zack's absence (and I don't mean passive aggressive in a bad way here, just a way to communicate feelings when you can't actually say what you want to say).

I would pay to see Jeremy Irons, in his unique voice, tell Whedon the rewrites are '****ing stupid' then turn around and mumble all the way to his trailer. Also interested to hear what drove Affleck to get in Whedon's face, which many of us have heard already. If y'all haven't already seen the clip with Affleck charging the paparazzi guy with Ana De Armas, he can be quite intimidating without a Batsuit on too...

Ray saying this stuff now means he was given permission to IMO.

That's my take, too. Something obviously shifted.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Imagine the alternate timeline where any of the eight hundred and fifty million directors they offered Man of Steel to before Zack said yes.

Watching TSS crash and burn is gonna be so satisfying

Yes. Famed box office poison and critical punching bag James Gunn will surely deliver a flop. His track record of critical and commercial failure is spoken of in hushed whispers across the land. How could be compare to the majesty of the director of Bright?

(I love David Ayer. But he makes a looot of trash.)

Forget a tell all book

We need a full blown Netflix series about JL
