Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation - - - - - - - Part 16

A movie can be dark and also very enjoyable. Pulp fiction had a scene where a man was accidentally shot in the head and the scene actually was played out to be intentionally funny and it was. Suicide Squad can still have very dark and serious themes without having to make the movie be depressing.

Nice.

There should be like a Hype bingo for the Suicide Squad.

Place your bets on who dies in the film, and other stuff.

Who dies first? Who had the coolest death? Who deserved to die? etc.

Well that ruins the game then.

Harley and the Joker are 100% safe, for obvious reasons. But everyone else is soooo dead. Potentially at least.

Slipknot dies first because, well, he's Slipknot, and I'm betting on Deadshot having some sort of heroic death. Typical Will Smith.

I believe Will Smith has been confirmed for the sequel.

''So that's it, huh? I'm a ghost''

lol

Slipknot of coarse....we all know he is made an example of.
I think Killer Croc will make it, along with Rick Flag and whoever Scott Eastwood is playing. of coarse Harley and Joker. Honestly, I think most of them will make it, unless they just need to make room for more characters to join. I just want the Joker to keep going for as long as I live

Batman v Superman forums it's a mess, I guess I will be here for a while, here's nice.

You can avoid the BvS forums. But you can't avoid the BS from Jokes

So, according to Devin Faraci the rumor about them adding more humor to Suicide Squad is true.

A couple of weeks ago I spoke with an excellent source who told me something surprising: the trailer for Suicide Squad, the one with the Queen song, did not represent the film as it then existed. "Every joke in the movie is in that trailer," this source told me. The enormous positive response to the trailer led to Warner Bros requesting reshoots that would alter the tone of the film, bringing in some more of the lightness to which audiences responded.

I have since spoken to more sources and I understand that the reshoots are happening right now, as recently as this week, and that they're big - tens of millions of dollars big. And they're adding more humor and lightness into the film.

I feel like this movie along with WW have to pick up the pieces left behind by BvS. It'll be tough, but maybe this gap between now and JL is just what the DCEU needs.

According to Faraci Jim Gordon is dead.

 

[O.C Cobblebot]

Yay, more jokes WB seems quite jumpy at the moment, if true. Please don't ruin this one.

 

[Abudefduf]

So let me get this straight... everything "fun" the movie has to offer was in those two trailers. A movie with the freaking Joker and Harley Quinn in it.

Mmm. Yeah.

I don't even hate Faraci (I've actually enjoyed some of his articles) but I think he's just riding the BvS backlash here.

I believe Will Smith has been confirmed for the sequel.

He is? I didn't even know a sequel had already been announced, lol.

Relax mate, i'm only snippy on future DC Snyder films.

What on earth have i ever done to you.

Jared Leto's interview to EW:

Jared Leto is the first to admit that he hasn’t quite pinned down his feelings about playing one of comic lore’s most iconic villains — the Joker in Warner Bros.’ coming DC Comics adaptation Suicide Squad. Leto puts a tattooed spin on the anarchic clown prince of crime, a ring leader of sorts for the group of baddies brought together to execute incredibly risky missions — ones that will most likely get them killed — in exchange for clemency. With the movie’s release months away, the actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman is still figuring out how to articulate his approach to assuming the mantle of Batman’s greatest foe. “I haven’t formulated a lot of my thoughts on this,” he tells EW.

One thing the Oscar winner is clear on, though, is the magnitude of bringing the Joker to the screen. The role, of course, was last brought to the screen by the late Heath Ledger in director Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight; the actor won a rare posthumous Oscar for his performance. Before that, it was Jack Nicholson who famously wore a broad grin in Tim Burton’s Batman.

“The work that’s been done on this character by so many people before me has been so impactful, so incredible, so much fun, so profound, so risky, that it’s a very special thing to be asked to take on that responsibility,” Leto says.


Before filming on Suicide Squad began, Leto knew he wanted to put his own stamp on the Joker. “You just knew you had to do something different. You had to make it your own. That happens all the time. Whether you’re a composer working on a piece of music that was written a century ago, or you’re an actor on stage, reinterpreting a play, it’s very common these days. Directors take on great works of cinema, actors reinterpret roles, that’s been going on for a great deal of time. From Scarface to Hamlet. In some ways it’s really interesting to reinterpret, redefine.

“It a weighty thing to do. But it’s exciting. The Joker is one of those roles. He was written brilliantly when he was first shared with the world 75 years ago, or something crazy like that. And I think I’m just really grateful I had the opportunity.”

Exactly.

I knew it.

Warner Brothers are the masters of panic.
