Ex-WB employee rages at top execs

Wow, this is worth the read.

**Link removed because it has uncensored cursing in it**

Zack Snyder is not delivering. Is he being punished? Assistants who were doing fantastic work certainly were. People in finance and in marketing and in IT. They had no say in a movie called Batman V Superman only having 8 minutes of Batman fighting Superman in it, that ends because their moms have the same name. Snyder is a producer on every DC movie. He is still directing Justice League. He is being rewarded with more opportunity to get more people laid off. I'm assuming you yourself haven't been financially affected in any real way. You and your studio are the biggest lesson about life one can learn: The top screws up and the bottom suffers. Peter Jackson phones it in and a marketing supervisor has to figure out a plan B for house payments.

 

[Boom]

I don't buy it.

 

[Flint Marko]

Lost me when they said that Wonder Woman is supposedly a mess. That movie comes out in like ten months, they're still forming it in the editing room.

 

[jmc]

Scathing, but how accurate it is is anyone's guess.

 

[Finarfiniel]

It lost me at 'You think another Jungle Book is a good idea' because the Andy Serkis/WB version of Jungle Book has been in development a lot longer than the Disney version, it was just unfortunate (for WB) that Disney got their's out first. You'd think that someone who supposedly worked for WB would know that.

 

[MadVillainy]

I mean fake or not, he's saying a lot of accurate things. A lot of things alot of people agree with. But really does it matter at this point?

Anyway probably fake. Others have already pointed out flaws in what he's said

 

[jmc]

It reads very much like a disgruntled employee. But we've been down this road before of insiders saying negative things about DCEU films and being proven right once the films have been released. That said, Devin Faraci is claiming to be hearing the exact opposite, and he leans heavily towards Marvel.

 

[Boom]

Devin's hearing the opposite about what? Wonder Woman?

 

[jmc]

Yep.

 

[Boom]

Considering how on-point his sources were about BvS and SS, that is rather reassuring.

 

[STARMAN]

Pretty much everyday someone claims to either be from WB or knows someone at WB and posting on the internet.

 

[LoganGambit87]

dont know how anyone would even know if the film is a mess since the thing hasn't even been edited into an actual movie yet lol

 

[CaptainWagner]

It's kind of sad the amount of people (Particuarily over on the site that shall not be named) that actually are trumpeting this as fact, ignoring the evidence just because it reaffirms what they want to be true. It's so nice that people here at SHH are, you know, sane.

What does Peter Jackson have to do with this? Is he working for Nolan?

Also, the writer tries to defend the "people in finance", when poor management of finances was one of the biggest problems that hampered the film from actually being a success.

 

[TheVileOne]

I think they would've been better off ignoring this letter. At least Patty Jenkins.

Just because it's totally unverified. Now Jenkins responding to it makes it bigger news. I'm not saying lends legitimacy but it shines a bigger light here.

 

[Finarfiniel]

The writer is probably referencing Peter Jackson in relation to The Hobbit trilogy which was distributed by WB and had a number of issues in development.

 

[Batmannerism]

If it was legit, it was just some poor schmuck saying what was on everyone else's mind - hell, he ain't wrong !

 

[Filmfan93]

I think it is fake.

Remember when Singer got involved in those scandals and accusations, conveniently after DOFP was released? I think it's all publicity.

 

[batman1]

WB and DC have yet to prove what they are doing. So I wouldn't discount it. Who knows what the final version will be by the time the studio gets it.
