It's actually kind of a safe/expected choice.

Expected? Maybe. Safe? Not really. The guy's only got two theatrical titles to his name, neither of which have been big budget blockbusters. It's completely up in the air whether or not he might crumble under that kinda pressure. Wouldn't be the first time we've seen that happen either.

 

[Guts]

Yeah, I like the second one, what's it called? "The Grim Squire", something like that...

I'm disappointed that Asylum never made a Dark Knight movie.

So Chris Evans And Robert Downey Jr. Are Guests On Tonight's Jimmy Kimmel, probably hyping up Civil War which makes me wonder......

Why wasn't Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck on any talk show to hype to BvS!

Since we talked about Frank Darabont in the last thread, I actually think he could be a good choice to helm JLD.

Same here. It's the most memorable so far.

The second most memorable is Affleck's body double grabbing the little girl.

The actor-director spoke about how much he has enjoyed working with Tsujihara and how deeply involved the studio boss has been in the making of the superhero franchise picture and how he believes pushing the film into 2016 will pay off, big time.

Affleck said the press has had a lot to say about the struggles of many Warners’ films in 2015, but predicted that “Batman v Superman” will help launch a turnaround at the studio.

“You’ll see next year they are going to have a great year,” Affleck said. “They are now developing … probably the single greatest under-exploited IP asset in the entertainment business, the DC comic world. And now they have started to exploit that and you are going to see that blossom. And, when it does, it’s going to be massive.”

The Batman star praised Tsujihara for his deep involvement in “Batman v Superman,” which started with script meetings for the film.

“I was really impressed by that and by the intelligence of his notes, and the fact that he cared,” said Affleck. “It was not like some guys, especially at that level, where it would be, ‘We need a franchise movie … we just need a movie with the names ‘Batman’ and ‘Superman’ on it and it doesn’t matter what it is. For him, that wasn’t it. He was willing to take longer to make the movie to get it right to make it a movie of higher quality.”

Affleck’s commitment to the DC world is large. The star and WB rearranged the rest of his film schedule to make sure he had time for another DC spinoff, believed to be titled “The Batman,” and for his work on “Justice League,” which is expected to begin shooting next spring. Two other Affleck projects — the Gavin O’Connor-directed “The Accountant” and an adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel “Live By Night” — moved to accommodate the DC-based projects.

The actor sounded both annoyed and accepting of the massive expectations that await the “Batman v Superman” debut.

“We are a very kind of instant gratification culture when it comes to analyzing the film business. And there is a lot of hyperbole involved,” Affleck said. “Nonetheless, there’s a lot of pressure on it. If it doesn’t do well, that will be extremely disappointing.”

But he said he isn’t sure what will be judged as success, concluding: “I leave that to the experts to decide.”

Kind chopped off the top

In case it wasn’t clear that expectations for “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” are running extremely high at Warner Bros., star Ben Affleck put it in plain language.

“I think there is a ton of pressure on it,” Affleck said of the film, in which he plays Batman. “I mean I would be bulls—ting you to say there isn’t.”

I'm hard pressed to believe it'll make that much even though it really is an amazing film. But even if it does, it doesn't prove that Coogler can handle a big budget. Just that he can turn a big profit.

Because Evans and RDJ are probably just there to drop the trailer.

You gotta admire Affleck's sophisticated expression of his opinions.

It also makes me think harder on why they are taking their time to release the film, to make the best out of it, and wonder if the critics will enjoy it better than Man of Steel.

Because they are saving that for March. Affleck, Cavill, Adams, Eisenberg etc. will all be hitting the talk show circuit for sure in the 2 weeks leading up to release. And most likely doing viral friendly stunts as well.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Kinda crazy to see how filmmakers have evolved to become spokespeople for these studios. It's like listening to athletes talk about their teams.

Hopefully you are talking WW numbers, because there is literally no way in hell a boxing movie does 300M domestic. The highest grossing boxing movie of all time is just 120M domestic.

WB needs to ride the DC wave if they wanna get back to the top

announce a titans movie you fools!

They're probably trying to figure out the dates if they're adding the rumored movies:

JLD
Batman/Red Hood
Birds Of Prey
Titans
Blue Beetle & Booster Gold
MOS2

Also a sequel to SS if it does real good numbers at the BO

 

[Beatnation]

I was never a fan of Titans/Teen Titans
