non-commercial projects. It's why comic book people shouldn't make decisions on comic book movies. They can't see what the average movie-goer would like, which is why Gunn's Suicide Squad film bombed so badly.

Gunn sounds like he's going in with his eyes wide open and understands the budget constraints, though. That's essential to working with an incompetent, greedy buffoon like Zaslav.

I think he's also right about finishing the script before filming starts. - the wrong element Jan 31, 11:02 3
- He learned his lesson from the Guardians of the Galaxy catastrophe. -- nm - David Jan 31, 11:11
- What a novel idea. -- nm - Dano Jan 31, 11:08 1
  - It will never work -- nm - Ridley Scott Jan 31, 11:23
Your description makes a lot of sense. I loved Iron Man 1 since I'm not a comic reader and it was accessible. None of this seems to be. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 10:46 4
- It was accessible because it was an origin story. Hard to know which of the new stuff will be the same. - the wrong element Jan 31, 11:11 3
  - The Authority - what if The Boys were a movie? Only a little less hard R rated... -- (edited) - Beaker Jan 31, 11:17 1
    - It will be DC's GotG (at least that is how Gunn will see it). -- nm - Spawn Jan 31, 11:21
  - But will it be Manbun Swamp Thing? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 11:12
Superman movie - just do Action Comics #775 (they did it in a cartoon and not too badly, but live action would rule). - Beaker Jan 31, 10:45 1
- Sounds like he's going to more All Star Superman by Morrison. Authority getting its own film -- nm - Remlik Jan 31, 10:57
