BvS All Things Batman v Superman: An Open Discussion - - - - - - - - Part 172

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Love reading Eisenberg's confirmation.

 

[Napoleon]

Once again terrio is praised.for d script not goyer.Pretty clear that Terrio is the main writer on this.Goyer was Fired

That's because Terrio wrote the draft that they used for filming. Goyer wrote an early draft which served as sort of an outline for the project.

And for the record, I don't think Goyer should be kicked off the DCCU completely. He has some interesting ideas and a decent working knowledge of DC lore, he just sucks at screenwriting. There's a reason Chris Nolan kept him around throughout his entire Batman trilogy.

I knew Jesse was going to be there. He went thee in 2009 for Zombieland so it's not like he's above going to these things. However, I always knew Amy Adams wasn't going to be there.

 

[Napoleon]

So is Jesse the only confirmed cast member to appear at SDCC this year so far?

 

[DlAMONDZ]

My brother works at Chipotle. One of his coworker's dad's friend's sons applied to be a key grip for Batman v Superman. He didn't get the job, but while being interviewed he caught a glimpse at the interviewer's computer monitor and it revealed a pre-viz sequence showing Superman and Batman battling Mr. Mxyzptlk.

Take it for what it's worth !

Now I'm craving Chipotle out of nowhere

Henry Cavill already confirmed he's going.

I believe so.

I personally never thought he was above these things, just figured a more hero focus thing. More folks is cool tho.

Eh, I doubt they kept much of his draft as he's not even credited for the screenplay. A chunk of his influence is still there, for sure, but it's safe to say the lion's share of what we're seeing is Terrio.

But agreed, hope he sticks around for his story ideas, while other writers refine them.

Edit: Oh wait, I guess he did get screenplay credit? I thought I saw he only got story, but I must've missed something.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Henry Cavill already confirmed he's going.

I believe Henry is going to be there but he's been his usual coy self when answering that question.

 

[roach]

Hollywood contracts are a funny thing. Level of involvement doesn't always matter.

They do for screenwriters

It looks to have changed. With the wording "Written by Chris Terrio and David Goyer" it means that significant portions of Goyer's script was used.

 

[roach]

I apologise if it seems I was being negative I was simply rubbing in the fact i was right about Goyer no longer being main writer.
Secondly Goyers firing isnt negative in any way.It looks like this movie has a VERY good chance of good critic reception because we now have a bettet writer

Goyer wrote a draft.
He was not fired. He completed his work and was paid for it. That's not fired

Unless you're a screenwriter. The WGA's requirements are pretty vague.

"Written by"

The term "Written by" is used when the writer(s) is entitled to both the "Story by" credit and the "Screenplay by" credit.

This credit shall not be granted where there is source material of a story nature. However, biographical, newspaper and other factual sources may not necessarily deprive the writer of such credit.

My thinking is they're using Goyer's initial plot outline and Terrio is handling the dialogue and such.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

There is no proof Goyer was fired but obviously Terrio did a rewrite on the script, his name is first in the screenwriting credit and the actors keep talking about him so it was a significant rewrite.

 

[Charlatan]

I think Affleck,Cavill,Gadot,Eisenberg,Momoa,Zack and Terrio might all be there. Amy probably will. Possibly Jeremy Irons. I don't think they will bring Holly Hunter,Scoot McNairy,Calvin Mulvey.Ray Fisher,Tao Okamoto,Diane Lane or Laurence Fishburne.

 

[DlAMONDZ]

Deadline said Will Smith would more than likely be there too

 

[fake]

There is no proof Goyer was fired but obviously Terrio did a rewrite on the script, his name is first in the screenwriting credit and the actors keep talking about him so it was a significant rewrite.

All that actually means is that Terrio was the guy in the story session meetings with the actors and the guy who was on set to fine tune scenes incorporating actor suggestions. Whether he was the one who wrote the story completely, we won't know. In fact, only the WGA arbiter will actually know how much of Goyer's script and how much of Terrio's script is in the final product.

This is no longer the reality though. If you look at the banner it says "Written by Chris Terrio and David Goyer". They are both getting writing credit which means that there is a significant amount of Goyer's screenplay remaining after the rewrite.

 

[John Locke]

I think Affleck,Cavill,Gadot,Eisenberg,Momoa,Zack and Terrio might all be there. Amy probably will. Possibly Jeremy Irons. I don't think they will bring Holly Hunter,Scoot McNairy,Calvin Mulvey.Ray Fisher,Tao Okamoto,Diane Lane or Laurence Fishburne.

I agree except for Fisher. I'm still thinking he'll show up and wave at the end with Momoa, Miller, and possibly GL.

Deadline said Will Smith would more than likely be there too

I'm sure Suicide Squad will have it's on panel.

 

[WBwins]

Whedon and Zak penn both got writing credits for avengers despite the fact Whedon discarded most of Zaks work.same thing is happening here

 

[Pants Under Underpants]

I agree except for Fisher. I'm still thinking he'll show up and wave at the end with Momoa, Miller, and possibly GL. .

Man, that would be the best way to catch everyone off guard and introduce the new Lantern. I like it.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Fake I don't think we are disagreeing on anything because I'm not a blind Goyer hater who believes his script was thrown out. I believe the credit, both men wrote the script. I'm just saying I don't believe Terrio only rewrote a little of it here and there. I think he made a significant contribution to the script.

I could be wrong but those are my thoughts.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Deadline said Will Smith would more than likely be there too

Yeah, for the Suicide Squad panel, not the Batman V. Superman panel.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I'm just gonna tell myself that Terrio threw out most of Goyer's dialogue because that's what will help me sleep at night.
