the trailers definitely made it look like Will Smith without a hint of personality
idk if he was supposed to be old and weary, but he looked dead inside & out

lol basically they have THREE movies big enough to be the annual event film, all released within 4 months of each other

THEN they have Frozen 2 and SW9 withink 2 months of each other.

I feel like Allan Horn or whoever is running the show just wanna retire quickly, or they wanna rake up the $$$ to buy Universal or something

I think GL is in that Superman position in which they gotta get it absolutely right next time, or else peace out to ANY future films down the road. In a way, I feel like Aquaman doing great at the box office will give you GL fans another shot soon imo. WB/DC needs to go into space again, fam. lol

Well, at least Zack gave us a cool shot of a GL, even briefly.

I thought Johns is doing a re-write for Tom Cruise right now?

Aquaman's success will hopefully give WB some confidence to back their non Supes-Bats characters. If GLC gets done right I think it would be one of the biggest DCEU films they could make.

They could basically get Wan to produce the film and apply the same formula to GLC - a fantasy/large scope movie with a badass Jessica Cruz and some Black and Latino characters in there.

Exactly. (With SS I think it's more that people say that the film changed tone to be more like GotG rather than that it was inspired by or greenlit because of GotG)

The MCU is apparently going to go more cosmic going forward, so I hope successes there can convince the WB execs that there is a killing to be made with GLC if they play it right.

I felt Sinister 6 inspired WB to make a SS movie and even released it before the supposed Sinister 6 date (though that film got canned after ASM2)

Then GOTG came out and all of a sudden it inspired SS, WTF.

I totally thought after watching GOTG - "this is what 2011's GL should have been!"

That's why I was surprised to see WB not only hiring James Gunn but not putting him on GL, heard he's suppose to be the architect for Marvel space universe.

Maybe we have McQ or Doug Liman in store, since T Cruise is sticking around waiting for the script he wants and WB and McQ talked last Oct.

lol i google search this i want to see this movie now.

My bald boy @kguillou taking a stab at Fury Road, just cause some critics ain't taking a liking to Aquaman ain't the way to go, fam.

What a crazy year!

And sounds like someone has been taking bonus advice from @KTsuji.

 

[Rodimus]

I'm just back from seeing Aquaman. Thought it was a really enjoyable, solid action-adventure movie from James Wan. The visuals are incredible.

Also, he managed to get a Depeche Mode song in there. That's extra points right there.

That's really cool, I think from your previous posts we would disagree on a lot of DC Movies but that's almost exactly what I would discribe it as.

Goes to show if you keep it civil and on point (rather than salivating), discussion can't still work in this day and age.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Fury Road stunt team worked on Aquaman too.

Wouldn't that just lead to another case of DC copying Marvel for the general audience who don't know anything about the comics? I think the reason WW and AQ are doing so well is partially because they are literally doing the first of their kind of movie, with WW being the first *successful* female led CBM, and Aquaman being an SFX achievement about an underwater world.

Why are you striking Dark Phoenix out of the race when it's got the Fury Road trinity?

 

[Black Narcissus]

This ain't it, chief.

 

[StarLord]

This ain't it, chief.

Matt Murdock's new job ain't going too well lol.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Matt Murdock's new job ain't going too well lol.

breh, that dude's reaction had me laughing till it hurt.

 

[KalvinEllis]

speaking of...
@KalvinEllis, did you see Venom yet and what'd ya think?
I really do mean it when I said this made me think of what a GL movie could be possible of.

Not yet. Will check it out soon. I did hear plenty of things about Woody Harrelson's wig though.

Yes that sounds perfect. Get Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Jessica Cruz in there.

Ah I didn't even think of Sinister 6. Gunn could have done the same job for the DCEU he was supposed to do for Marvel in building up the cosmic side of the universe. Maybe he still will but just fancied SS2 first. Any of those would be fine for GL. Is the Tom Cruise talk serious?

 

[MbJ]

Of all the many problems this franchise has had, I don't think them being too close to Marvel has been one of them. BVS had a month on Civil War and still ended up being less successful critically and commercially. Iron Man himself is enormously popular despite occupying the same "Orphaned billionare who uses his wealth to fight crime" niche as Batman.

If a Green Lantern Corps movie looks genuinely good and is marketed well, I don't think people are gonna care if it's in space.

[Greenlite]

basically talks happened throughout 2017, then Johns was officially assigned the GL project, and rumors of Cruise wanting a change of script came out, and McQ's reason for not directing it is because there's no script

Being a first a number of times is great but it is also absolutely unsustainable if you are looking at creating a large number of films over a long period. The MCU is improving with late sequels (although that may be difficult with something like Black Panther) and there is no reason why WW and AM can't improve WW next time out if executed well. Space is not exactly something original and also is a big old place. If the MCU goes cosmic that doesn't mean you should rule out all DC cosmic properties. This worry about copying Marvel is a part of the reason why things went **** up in the first place. There's nothing wrong with using a similar structure or similar setting, just make the films themselves original.

I love it, personally. They've officially strayed away from just the MCU and taking on Marvel as a whole with stuff like BoP (and the fantabalous emancipation of one Harley Quinn) and Joker.

 

[Greenlite]

WW wasn't actually the first superheroine film neither, we had Supergirl, Elektra and Catwoman, lol, WW was just done better.

GLC can be fresh as it has companies of space guardians (and perfect opportunity for diversity wink wink), and they just need to make sure we get to see different races and worlds, like Star Wars, Star Trek were all space movies but I felt 2011 GL we didn't see anything other than Earth and random planets that nobody resides in, and weird elderly bobbly heads that turned me off lol.

I call that just having good ideas and doing good stuff. If you do that then it doesn't matter what Marvel or anyone else are doing. If you execute good ideas well you will be rewarded well, and fans will be happy whether that reward is more or less than the guys next door.
