I won't mention names, but somebody in the business has a friend who saw BvS early and told her to be worried because the film was messy and disjointed. This was before the reviews came pouring in. The same person told her the same thing about Wonder Woman. This is also coming from a fan who was let down by this, not somebody going in with DCEU hate in their heart. So i'm just saying it's a possibility that Wonder Woman will be another failure. I'm personally looking forward to the movie but skeptical about Gadot's performance. You don't have believe anything, that's your right.
It's just as silly to think it will succeed just because of James Wan or known stars (who besides hardcore fans of Game of Thrones know who Momoa is?). Wan isn't the one who got butts in the seats for the previous Fast and the Furious. It doesn't matter who's directing those films, especially to the general public. Wan, to me, has not proven he can do anything of worth outside of the horror genre. The point is, the general audience doesn't give a damn about Aquaman, they don't know or care about most of these actors (yet, let's wait until Justice League). Justice League has to do well, Aquaman has to turn heads in THAT movie, and they have to market the film well or i'm pretty sure it's going to bomb. There's reasons to assume it will fail. Acting like there isn't is unrealistic. I'll change my tune if people are absolutely floored by his first official appearance as well as the Aquaman trailers. We shall see.
Harassment? Please. He's a grown man getting paid a LOT of money for what he does, and he's whining about being harassed about a Batman movie that HE is going to direct and star in? Cry me a river, like i said before. First world white man problems right there. Give me a break. He can tell every single one of them beforehand to only ask about Live by Night. So take it like a man Ben and stop whining about it. Take a page out of Denzel's book and stop making a fuss over every little question or poor review. You don't play a character as huge as Batman, announce that you're going to direct a movie about that character and not expect people to constantly ask when he's going to make it. Especially when he can't word something correctly, like "i'll do it when it's good enough" then "there's no script". You don't say that and not expect people to misinterpret or at least ask him what the deal is.
I'm not angry. I don't really care if he makes the movie or not. I just get annoyed by celebrities who whine like it's the hardest job in the world. That's why i said take a page out of Denzel's book. It isn't hostile to express my opinion or speculate just because you're getting defensive. We all know you're in love with Batfleck and this universe (if you're not then correct me). It seems like you have an excuse for everything with this DCEU.
You're defending this guy like he's family. He's human but he has a job to do. A job that he decided to do himself. He said it's a lot of pressure no? OK so do it and embrace what comes with that (Nolan had to deal with questions too and didn't complain)...OR don't direct it. Write the script, get somebody else to direct.
If he can't handle the pressure of making a Batman movie then no, he's not fit to make it in the first place. Perhaps he's more fit to make different films. I wasn't talking about him not making movies in general, don't put words in my mouth, i was talking about THIS movie (The Batman).
Are you Foley from The Dark Knight Rises calling me a hothead because i pointed out that Ben loses his s**t all the time in public, sometimes over nonsense like a new friggin Batman movie!? LOL. This guy has the PRIVILEGE to make movies. It's hard, but it's not the hardest job on the planet, and he's getting payed millions to do it. He knows how the game works, so deal. "You're calling him a hothead!? How about you!? YOU'RE the one acting like a hothead!" right cuz that's apparently more mature..
