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

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

You mean having several female characters that don't really contribute much to the story and are there only for visual gratification regarding the Male viewers?lol

Ya exactly what Marvel does, thats exactly it.

 

[Loki882]

Black Widow, Peggy Carter, and Pepper Potts don't contribute much to the plot? They're only there for fanservice? You could have fooled me.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ Black Widow helps bring down the bad guy in IM2, she uses her interrogation techniques to learn about Loki's plan, Carter provides moral support and is a role model at self-respect and independence, Pepper is IM's faithful secretary and helps keep him alive (and defeat the villain as well)

Sure they're all supporting roles, but I am sure that the roles will get switched when or if a WW movie comes out.

 

[D.P.]

Ah yes....The good ol South Dallas Swagg. I love my city lol. And this is how I react to the news as well lol.

Turn up then...

Yeah, that was my point. Really the only thing that Marvel (and WB for that matter) has yet to do is to make a good female-led movie.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ Doing WW justice in a solo film could one-up Marvel in that sense

This is why I hope Gadot knocks it out the park. WB should be the first to bring a female superhero film to the public. Let them take advantage of this.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ That's good, you mean

 

[charl_huntress]

All I see is you winking.

Anyways...

How about that Chris Terrio.

I'm still hyped he came on board. Some aspects of the script were my issues with MOS and I'm looking forward to possibly getting those improved.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

On Argo: "Yeah. A lot of the forces that are coming to bear on our hero and on everyone are invisible. There's not one antagonist in the film, it's a widely distributed sense of threat that's out there. It's sort of a big geopolitical problem that they're up against, in a sense.

Since you can't throw invisible stones at characters, you have to begin to create stones that have weight and that have sharp edges and that feel credible. So that's in a way how the story developed, just to get a sense of the various ticking clocks and the various sorts of obstacles hanging above the heads of the characters.

And then the next problem is how do you reconcile the three tonal worlds of the film – the world of Washington and its bureaucracy; the world of Tehran and the immediate sort of clear and present danger of the guards that are combing the city with automatic weapons; and then the world of Hollywood where the challenge really is to create a convincing fiction, or film? The problem becomes how do you write a script in which those three things are the same movie, and in which the tone feels like it carries over from one scene to another?

Some of it is just trial and error. You don't want the characters in Hollywood – Lester Siegel and John Chambers – to turn into kind of a Vaudevillian sideshow. You want to feel that they're human beings who are deeply invested in the lives of other human beings who are the six houseguests.

You want to feel that in the world of the CIA, it's a deadly serious world of an espionage thriller, but also Bryan Cranston and his character has an acerbic sense of humor, so you could imagine him meeting up with Lester and with Chambers and sort of having the same conversation.

And then further, with the houseguests in Tehran, you have these six people who are in this is Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit kind of situation where they're stuck in the house, but you also want to feel that the way that they talk and the way that they relate to each other can cut from Hollywood or from Washington to them and still feel like you're watching characters in the same movie. I'm not sure that I did solve all these problems, but you write the script and hope for the best."

I think Chris did a great job of "juggling" characters in Argo. I think he should heavily influence the JL movie. So if there are a lot of characters, I think he'll try to give them all a sort of weight.

 

[BatLobster]

^^ I definitely agree. I've always said that the most impressive aspect of Argo was how it managed to juggle all these various elements without it feeling like tonal mishmash, which it definitely could have in lesser hands.

I never connected that to what Terrio might be able to bring to the DC brand until now, but it's definitely something encouraging.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Argo's script was tightly put together and balanced the drama and humor out so very nicely. Not to mention the characters.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ Even the "stock characters" (Lester comes to mind) seem to have a sense of history and depth to them. I think a tonal balance is a MUST for Superman-Batman.

Remember when Jonathan Nolan rewrote Terminator: Salvation and they made such a big deal out of it... until it turned out his (much hyped) contributions weren't enough to warrant a credit?

I'm pretty sure he only wrote a few John Conner scenes after Bale asked him. Stupid McG. But yeah, that got people pumped up.

I don't think Terrio is going to write a few scenes and call it a day. If Affleck has his way, it's going to be more significant.

 

[Jekecy]

I don't even think any of the press bothered to mention Nolan's rewrite of the film, that was all MCG's doing. In hindsight, it was bound to be a small hire.

The fact Terrio has become a headline should indicate his presence is far more than a mere script doctoring going on a single pass.

You assume that Affleck brought him in...Terrio has a good relationship with WB and that was why he was brought in.
