Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation - Part 1

[Juha Bach]

I'm sure there are people that feel the opposite coming off of that Sabatoge film.

End of Watch was great.

I have noticed David ayer works best when he is serving as both the director and scribe of the script which is the case in this project. That wasn't the case in sabotage where he was only directing. I really do think that this movie is in very capable hands

When is this supposed to start filming?

April supposed to finish by August.

I don't know if this film will be s***t but I'm loving how both Smith and Robbie look here:

Have some inside information.

- The main villain for this movie is, The Joker. Suicide Squad is task to find bombs, the Joker planted around the city.
- The movie may be pushed back for a later release date.
- Do not expect any cast members from BvS appearing in this film.

That rumour has already been posted.

OK so I apologize if I don't do this right, this is my 1st time on reddit and my first time posting. The reason I'm posting is because I spent a good hour over at Warner Brothers with a few people; and they did a focus test group regarding the upcoming film: Suicide Squad.

They made this apparent from the focus test, but a few of these things were set in stone, others were still a work in progress.

First thing they did was quiz us on our knowledge on the Suicide Squad; there were a lot of questions about our knowledge on the new 52 Suicide Squad and particularly Harley Quinn. From general conversations, it sounds like Harley Quinn may be the protagonist of the movie.

The director of the movie joined us; he asked whether any of us had watched Speed. He said that that blend of action with a time sensitive conflict was what inspired the plot of Suicide Squad.

The director asked what we enjoyed more in an action movie, a serious action movie like The Raid or a more comedic approach like in the Jump Street movies.

Near the end, we were broken into groups of three (there were 9 of us total) and given a one page summary of the plot, we were asked to describe what we liked and didn't like.

What we were given mentioned Harley Quinn being needed to decipher a complex series of bombs planted throughout Gotham. Harley is estranged from The Joker, and her knowledge is being used to figure out where The Joker has placed the bombs. Deathstroke is a Amanda Waller's personal bodyguard, and he's placed in the squad to oversee that they do not deviate from the mission perimeters. The plot then becomes more complex as The Joker has a far more complex goal in mind.

I'm paraphrasing what the other plots were, but they all deviated slightly. Some had Harley as being a part of the squad, but betraying them for The Joker. The other involved a conspiracy from Lex Luthor which involves working with The Joker.

My final impressions are positive. Before we left the director showed us concept art. Some were ok. The boomerang guy and the witch girl were not that great. I really liked Deathstrokes design, they really gave him this realistic but tech-geared look that is probably the best design I've ever seen of Deathstroke.

Based on what I saw, I would love to go see this movie when it releases.

Except for Jesse Eisenberg.

I asked about if Jesse/Lex will appear in the movie at all. My insider said no.

why would it be pushed back? there is tons of time, they have a cast, director, writer, producers and its 2 years away

 

[Fallen Angel]

I have some info... someone's full of crap.

 

[joeshmow014]

Exactly that's how I feel too...why would WB want to push it back and push it back where? They have an ideal release date it's perfect.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I can back this up with confirmation from my sources too.

 

[Willi Berg]

And why the hell would they need SS to find bombs in Gotham and need Harley for it?
All Waller has to do is summon Batman for his help. Unless he can't, after the events of BvS?

But that plot just sounds so underwhelming.

Bombs planted around Gotham and the SS finding them in time sounds so cartoony. I would expect the movie to be a bit more complex than that.

 

[Naked Shia]

my sources told me the main villain was Amanda Waller. She's upset by Oprah Winfrey and wants to kill her, and it's up to the joker to save the day.

 

[Pickleweasel]

The plot doesn't sound bad at all nor does it sound cartoony, that said I doubt this is what will actually happen.

 

[SlamAdams]

Bombs planted around Gotham and the SS finding them in time sounds so cartoony. I would expect the movie to be a bit more complex than that.

In fairness, its often hard to sound complex with a premise. Superhero movies are usually summed up as Hero must stop villain

I just think there will be more to it than that. The plot of 'Assault on Arkham' was more complex and cinematic, including the characters' relationships. This plot sounds cartoony because similar plots have been done a few times in the cartoons. This plot is just variations of finding a bomb for the whole movie.

It's ridiculous that they would be asked if they would prefer a serious action movie or an action comedy, when you have the Joker and Harley Quinn in the movie.
