I read somewhere they had finished filming? I'm glad they were wrong!

 

[nyyarod]

Boy am I glad there's been no drama coming out of this shoot. Wan and crew have been spectacularly under the radar in lieu of all this WB nonsense. Keeps my optimism high!

 

[NotNickFury]

Probably for the best. Staying the course since no news is good news. And all news so far has either been casting related or updates. Not even word of production being a 'disjointed mess.' Yet, anyway.

In May, film crews took over Straddie’s Amity Point camp ground to shoot scenes for the $160 million production of Aquaman, featuring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe and Nicole Kidman.

It is kind of funny that WB put more budget on this then on WW considering the characters lol. But Aquaman is a harder movie to shoot after all.

Good! I'm glad they're going to have enough to do what they want to do. They need a decent budget with all this underwater shooting and exotic locations.

James Wan responded, even.

Nuidis Vulko is the science advisor of Atlantis and an Aquaman supporting character from the DC Comics. As in the comics, Vulko has known Aquaman his whole life and is part of the Atlantean inner circle. "Vulko is 100% Atlantean. So that's different, because [Aquaman] is half-Atlantean and half-human," Dafoe told IGN.

"So they're quite different and I'm capable of being outside of the water, but mostly it's underwater. And I'm a guy that's been around for a while. I have a kind of... let's call it an armor. It's a good look, I like it a lot."

He continued, "The day that they show the shot of the character will accomplish more than I can by talking about it now. I like the look very much, and know they released a toy recently. But it doesn't look so much what I look like [in the film]."

Dafoe also told IGN Aquaman director "James Wan is fantastic. I don't know what to tell you because I don't want to create any spoilers. I've been on a little break after shooting for a couple of months off. And now, tonight I go back to Australia to shoot for about another month. But all goes well...Until people actually start seeing footage, I don't want to spoil anything."

160 million? i'd have guessed minimum 180 million or so.

Does this explain why Paramount has been trolling DC films with their release dates?

This is so dumb....DC's Bumblebee predates Transformers' Bumblebee by like 7 years

Well that is stupid on 2 counts:

1) They are going to lose since DC's BB predates the Transformers one and looks nothing like it.

2) Paramount will lose at the Box Office as well. The last TF got trounced by Wonder Woman and this spinoff will get trounced by Aquaman if it is any good.

"[Wan's]*enthusiasm reminds me, very much, of Sam Raimi's enthusiasm,"*Dafoe, who played Norman Osborne in Raimi's 2002 flick, said. "When I made*Spider-Man*with Sam Raimi, one of the most impressive things was that it didn't feel like an industry film. It felt like a personal film. It felt like Sam Raimi was getting to fulfill a fantasy of his. He was so connected to that Spider-Man mythology that he really infused it with great love and great playfulness, and I love that. James Wan is very similar."*

Dafoe also praised Wan's precision, saying that his attention to detail is apparent in all of his films. "He really knows exactly what he wants, which is particularly a great asset when you're making a movie that's so technologically complicated,"*he said. "He can be very clear, and it's fun to play the game of having him give you an ask and trying to satisfy that ask. He gives you some things to play with and a good story."

 

[Silvermoth]

That's cool, people underrate Raimi's influence on current comic book movies these days

The thought of Aquaman being arum drinking treasure hunter is absolutely awesome. I could see him as the guy fighting pirates off the coast of Africa , destroying whaling ships , and looking for lost treasure while using his finds to live a simple life off of while using the rest to fund and donate towards ocean preservation. With Mera being the one talking him into coming home and claiming his birthright as King of Atlantis . Like this thrill loving , tough as hell, treasure hunting, badass

Yes, I would love that!
