BvS It's always Darkest before The Dawn... Chris Terrio IS the Script Writer - Part 1

[Boom]

Batgod incoming.

 

[fake]

Snyder on how they worked through the story for BvS and Justice League

 

[matt47]

love it! I hope they film some of those colabs for the special features.

 

[John Locke]

Snyder's mural would make an awesome cover for a DCEU Blu Ray set.

 

[Captain Shazam]

What if they show this mural during SDCC?! My body would so not be ready for this!

 

[Sawyer]

lol They won't. They'll probably be in future Making Of/Art of the Movie books, but SDCC? Nah.

 

[matt47]

Wouldn't it have HUGE spoilers?

I'm hoping that given Snyder and Terrio having created a rough draft/map of what the following DCCU will entail that all of the films will have a better sense of connectivity and feel cohesive with each other where there aren't as many (or any) plot rectons or inconsistencies with major events and such.

I wonder if they also found a way on how to create certain large scale threats for each hero that has a solo film coming up where it's somewhat established on why the hero couldn't reach out to a fellow JL member for help.

I sort of couldn't care less. Same thing in the comics.

Batman is Batman and wouldn't call the JL to help with Joker.
Wonder Woman fights magical mystical beings and both Batman and Superman offer no help.
Superman knows when he needs help he will call...but most of the time he can handle his threats.

I find it interesting how everyone involved with the film seems to be ignoring Goyer. I know he is co-credited as second billed writer in the trailer credits, but during the panel Snyder mentioned Terrio as the one ''who wrote the screenplay'', not co-wrote or wrote with David Goyer, calling Terrio a genius, etc. Jesse and Ben also praised Chris but not a word of David. This isn't an anti-Goyer post btw I just find it interesting. I thought that what Ma Kent was telling Clark sounded very Goyer-ish.

 

[moviefreak]

lol. I noticed it yesterday --seems to me that Goyer is now the forgetten man. I think Terrio essentially rewrote Goyer's draft and elevated the screenplay but enough of Goyer's materials remained to the point that he's a co-writer.

I dont usually care either, but they just placed Gotham and Metropolis close to each other to the point that people commute to work from one to the other.

 

[titansupes]

I actually don't like that they're that close. They should be a New York/Chicago sort of relationship, not San Francisco/Oakland. I hope the only reason they changed it wasn't to explain why Bruce was there during the invasion... He's Bruce Wayne, he was there on business. He's Batman, he was checking out the alien threat.

We'll have to see if there's a different reason for it.

It might be a credit thing. Unless it is a page 1 re-write, basically starting from scratch - you cannot discredit the earlier writer, the WGA rules state. So even if a paragraph from Goyer remained, he will get credit. But it seems to be Terio's script finally. Because everybody was only talking about terio.

 

[Captain Tired]

I think it's just the fact that certain actors recognise the difference between good screenwriters and bad screenwriters, and have been taught that if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

What I liked is that Ben Affleck on the panel said something along the lines that the script in many ways is what makes and breaks a movie, and gave praise to Snyder's cinematic inventiveness. I really think this will be the best DC film since TDK.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

It seems there will be so many things to balance in this movie. Such an array of characters and stories can make this film a mess. But if it's all handled well in order without seeming all over the place and random, this film can be something great.

New York and Chicago don't have a relationship. They're just two big cities in different parts of the country. The only time I hear anyone back home bring up New York it to talk about how sh**** their pizza is in comparison.

I never understood the too many characters complaint. I'm not picking on you Mrs Wayne but has anyone seen a movie where there was too many characters?
Look at Argo. How many characters were in Argo? How many speaking roles?

Also there's not really a lot of things going on...this movie is dealing with the reactions to a Superman.
How the public is dealing with him.
How Superman is dealing reactions to him.
How Batman reacts to a Superman
How Senator Finch reacts to a Superman
How Lex reacts to a Superman

But then again I don't think we'll see Zodbie/Doomsday/Bizarro/Darkseid in this movie

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

I know. I just want all the main characters to fit into the main story well enough. And it's why I'm glad Terrio is handling this. He can make all of it work and feel fluid.

They will.

By relationship, I literally mean their locations relative to each other.

 

[roach]

I don't think they put the two cities close to each other to explain why Bruce was in Metropolis. He's a businessman and they tend to go to other cities on business. In TDK we saw him go to Hong Kong on business.

I think in putting the cities that close it creates a sense of animosity between the two cities...not just between Bats and Supes but in the city people too. I've been told people in Oakland and San Fran don't really like each other.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

They will.
