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

[Noctis]

Which is exactly where he should be.

As proven by the Nolan trilogy, he can write some awesome stories, just needs help turning them into good words, Terrio to BvS is like Jonathan Nolan to TDKT.

I do worry though that Terrio might write the movie to be Bat centric to favour Affleck.

 

[Jekecy]

As a bat-fan, I wouldn't mind. There's always Man of Steel 2.

Well batman is WB's big money maker, so it would make since.

 

[Steamteck]

From what I've heard, Goyer will probably retain a story credit. But the script itself was basically a page 1 re-write for Terrio. And because of the re-write being so significant, it was the main force behind the initial release date change.

I know I'm alone but that's a little discouraging to me. On the up side, Terrio is the only thing that gives me any pessimism about the film. mainly because I feel he's untried in the genre and I like Goyer's stuff . Especially his ideas

His ideas are usually great, but he needs a Chris or Jonathan Nolan for his scripts. And even then the dialogue is filled with heavy exposition, the characters dont develop unless Lucius or Alfred hit them over the head with exposition, etc.

Assuming Goyer and Snyder had a good idea about BvS, i trust in Terrio being this movie's Nolan to polish it to a much better state. Sometimes you just need a proper movie writer and those usually come with no comic book background (in this industry at least).

I know it makes sensee.I just will HATE that Superman is once again being sidelined for Batman.He doesnt get a sequel before Batman is in town to kick his as.ITS BEYOND UNFAIR

Can't believe that this is coming from me of all people,lol...but at the end of the day, Snyder is the one that will ultimately decide on which character gets to do what in this story, let alone on how much focus that given character will get so even if Chris is pro Batman, he has to write a script that fits within Snyder's story outline.

I really doubt Snyders Clout in this movie.The Studio seems very hands on with this movie.They are the ones with ultimate say.If they and terrio want a Bat fest prepare for a Batfest-Snyder or no Snyder

The recent comments from Harry lennix dont help my concerns about this being a Batfest.

1. Snyder is the one that came up with the story alongside Goyer. Terrio was just brought on board to make a tight script based from that story outline.

2. I don't know; it seems like the studio has really given free reigns to Snyder on this project. The fact of the matter is, if they didn't trust him with this project then they wouldn't have signed him up for JL as well.

3. As others have probably said, I think Lennix...and anyone who has used "TDKR" references are referring more about on how Ben's Batman will be like as opposed the actual outcome and characterization of Superman.

I... see... (puts Sam's name down on the list)

 

[STARMAN]

In the Today interview, Affleck refers to Chris Terrio again in regards to BvS.

 

[moviefreak]

Who? Be more specific, since currently the executive producers on IMDB page are: Chris Nolan & his wife Emma Thomas, Michael Uslan, Benjamin Melniker, David Goyer, all with Batman Begins/The Dark Knight background and Wesley Coller (Watchmen, 300). Additionally, you also have Geoff Johns, Charles Roven & Deborah Snyder as producers. The big hoco Thomas Tull is no longer there. WB/DC is not likely to repeat their dismissal Green Lantern experience whereby they took turn in meddling.

What no Jon Peters?

1. Terrio is the one in charge of the story now and thats my piont.He cold write the story to favour Batman
2.The inclusion of WW,Cyborg smells of Studio mandates.Yes the Studio is being hands on with this movie.Whether thats good news(MCU)or bad news(Green lantern) remains to be seen
3.I certainly hope so

Stumbled onto this awesome interview of Chris Terrio from 2012 by David Poland as part of his DP/30 series. Great watch

I am by no means a Goyer hater, but I admit this comforts me

You're kind of overstating Terrio's power in all this. He's writing the story, sure, but he's not in charge of it. Whatever he wrote is based on whatever direction Snyder has chosen to go.

I also don't think there's any proof the studio has interfered whatsoever. I'm sure in whatever discussions they had, they expressed a desire to expand the DCCU, but that seems like the kinda thing Snyder would be totally on board for and is also totally normal for any major studio.

This...a lot of people are letting there fears get the best of them.

 

[Micromind]

Studio wants a cohesive DC Universe so it makes sense that they will have some say in this movie project, how do you guys think Marvel studios handle their movies ? Do they give 100 % freedom to their directors ?

I think that WB has given the task of making a DC universe to Geoff Johns, Zack Snyder and David Goyer (all are Executive producers, Goyer and Snyder have story credits for BvS, Geoff Johns is also DC' creative head) so these three will interfere with Terrio's screenplay to some extent.

Is that a bad thing ?

A result like ASM2 would be a valid concern in this regard. Especially when someone like Garfield, who had intimate involvement with the production from the beginning, basically implied a lot got cut out earlier on in favor of 'setting up' a Spidey cinematic universe.

Hopefully WB and Snyder have far greater insight into how to integrate all those future elements without sacrificing the integrity of each movie's story.

 

[TheBat812]

Alot of presumptions on the script based on nothing. The only thing we know is that Goyer wrote the original screenplay and Terrio continued based on that. We can also surmise based on Affleck's comments that Terrio has focused on things that matter to great screenwriters - great character, themes and story. That's pretty much all we have for now, and its a damn good start in my opinion considering its using Goyer and Snyder's strengths to craft a story for comic lovers and have Terrio make it great.

I think WB will be very hands on when it comes to this movie because they will want a bigger box office performance for sure, and they also know how much is at stake when it comes to this movie, and the movies which come after it. And I think a studio being hands on could be a really good thing since they would have more experience when it comes to making movies.

Terrio is in charge of the story.This isnt even debatable at this piont.Hes the writer.Hes the one thats being praised for the script,not Snyder,not Goyer,Terrio.

Sure Snyder has some input to the story but at the core its still Terrios Game.
And if Terrio decided Its best to make Batman more awesome than Superman for the storysakes I doubt WB or Snyder would be very opposed to it-They are Batman fanboys.

Studio interfering can be for good and bad.Im worried about it turning bad b/c of missteps made by those involved in the past.And whilst Terrio will very likely increase the quality of the script,I worry about Batbias.
