I re-post something that deserves to be discussed.
"Warner Brothers should have started developping a Supergirl film ten years ago when Imogen Poots was a young up-and-coming actress.
They could have seen that seen that she was unique among her peers. Because she did Centurion back then. An unusual choice of film for girls her age. And that they could strike gold with her.
Poots has since then always had a bit of quirky aura. She's is also a beauty in her own right, not the bland Hollywood type.
'Ah, this Imogen girl is interesting. Let's create something with her that takes advantage of her talent and style'
WB could have been thinking just like that, seeing that a long-term process would really benefit the final film. The pre-production could go on for 2-3 years, with consulting the actress now and then. Sort of working together with her on this. Yes, she would have been involved in the developpment
This way, they could together have slowly built up to a film with a quality mark. Then released it in 2015.
It would hopefully not have been a dumb mainstream adaption, but this take on a superhero should have a really well-written and clever story. A character-driven one.
This Supergirl should have been as unique as Donnerverse was at its start in 1978.
And I don't mean Supergirl going for the same style. It should instead have been fit for 2015, having a very modern feel and approach to the character. Maybe it can be better to compare it with 2017s Wonder Woman?
The years of development could even have brought a little bit of artsy feel to the Supergirl film, making it stick out from the generic blockbuster mold."
