I'm Reading Your Stuff: General News and Discussion Thread

I don't think it was ever really supposed to shoot on November in the first place lmfao

Yeah, that always felt weird.

 

[Invader Joker]

Yeah, that always felt weird.

With 6 months of filming they'd have finished up on May 2024, which means around 17 months of post-production which feels... excessive for this movie. Meanwhile starting on March, 6 months of shooting, they wrap on September and have 13 months of post instead sounds a lot more reasonable.
Granted, Joker 2 just finished shooting 2 months ago so I guess it's not inconceivable. But idk, especially with how Matt likes to take his time with scripts, November always sounded off to me.

Joker 2 has a strategic release date for Oscars, I believe. That’s why it’s a little odd and late.

I just love going back to the original thread and seeing everyone's reaction.

Robert Pattinson IS The Batman

I love seeing all the panic setting in just one day after not getting confirmation.

History's repeating on the Superman thread.

 

[Rick190293]

Battinson can't catch a break. COVID hit the first movie, now the WGA strike delays this... looks like a curse I hope Reeves and co. return soon!

 

[Kane52630]

And then you got the Snyder cult cheering for the delay out of spite.

 

[Boom]

Robert Pattinson IS The Batman

We got through 196 pages before his casting was finally confirmed.

 

[Sawyer]

Randomly popped up in my feed (I don’t follow Jett)

They’re still sad that Pattinson and Co created a better Batman than Affleck and Co did with multiple appearances

 

[DeadlyWest]

And then you got the Snyder cult cheering for the delay out of spite.

At this point it feels like a tree falling in a forest given the Snyderverse becomes more desperately fleeting by the day

Obviously this is a pretty upsetting speedbump, but after COVID it's hardly more than that. Few months vs upwards of 2 years lmao

 

[Sawyer]

Dare I dream that we’re in for some news?

 

[Erik Lensherr]

Clayface?

 

[WayneMB]

we really should be getting some news soon.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Skarsgard in a Batman film would be fantastic.

 

[squeekness]

Skarsgard in a Batman film would be fantastic.

I love that whole family. All of them are fantastic actors.

 

[Boom]

If production has been pushed back until March then the timeline for casting should look pretty similar to The Batman (August - November).

There's still the looming threat of a SAG strike, so that could push things off further.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

When it comes to Pennywise I strongly prefer Tim Curry. Bill Skarsgard is okay, I think he would be a good Larfleeze or Desaad.

 

[TMP98]

Bill Skarsgaard's ok but he's never impressed me that much. Maybe Nosferatu will surprise me, but I was hoping for more exciting casting especially after how exciting the cast for the first film was

 

[Boom]

I just hated how "try hard" his Pennywise design was. He's not supposed to look scary at a glance.

 

[The Shape]

Looking forward to seeing how Skarsgaard does in The Crow reboot, although he runs the risk of being typecast as "guy in makeup".

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Skarsgaard is really let down by his most famous performance being his worst.

 

[Sawyer]

Gonna sidestep some questionable Pennywise opinions in this thread to say that I revisited this trailer and remembered that sweet, sweet August 2020 rush…



Like, I loved the movie and all, but this trailer was really something. Whoever edited it should’ve gotten a raise and a promotion.

Yeah, hype for this permanently shot up massively from that point on for me.

We got news!!!
