DC Films The DC Studios News and Discussion Thread

What did he say?

Edit:


This is weird. I guess he thought Hamada was also responsible for the cancellation of Batgirl and figured this is a good opportunity to take another shot at him?

This dude is really starting to get under my skin.

 

[Iceman]

Big budget Green Lantern movie definitely should be on the new list.

Yeah, I really want a proper Green Lantern Corps.

 

[Comicbookguy339]

So 5 of these were eventually released, 1 will likely be released, 2 of them just switched creative teams but were filmed (with 1 being released), and 2 never happened at all.

Pretty much. And this is where we were just a year ago.

Of those TBD projects I can now only see WW3 and Blue Beetle happening.

Been waiting since the first Green Lantern movie was announced to get that "Star Wars Meets DC" GL film. Hard to believe way back when we almost got a Jack Black Green Lantern film lol... good grief.

I wish Zaslav would have mentioned Green Lantern on that meeting/call as something of importance.

I'm not sure Zaslav knows about Green Lantern lol.

I'm not sure Zaslav knows about Green Lantern lol.

Hopefully he will pick a guy who knows.

Will never happen. You can’t do Green Lantern effects without looking cheesy like the first movie.

Snyder's Jon Stewart looked pretty good in that one screenshot we got.

WBD stock down 17%.

WBD stock down 17%.

Some people are saying that the stock is down because Zaslav isn't firing everyone yet. Had he announced mass layoffs the stock would be up.

That's terribly ****ed up

Yeah.

Yahoo Finance says WBD has zero pathways towards profitability now and in the future.

Ominous.

Strange Adventures and the Green Lantern show cancelled according to Kevin Smith (he was working on Strange Adventures).

El Mayimbe on Twitter spaces said:

-Zaslav loves The Flash movie.

-The stock tanking yesterday put severe pressure on Zaslav to show results quickly.

-All major decisions are on pause until a new DC Films chief is hired including Keaton’s future.

-Walter Hamada is sick and tired of all the constant regime changes which he feels have hurt the films.

-Mike De Luca wants Hamada to stay as DC Films president. Mayimbe believes he will stay long term.

-Gal Gadot will appear as Wonder Woman in multiple upcoming movies.

-El Mayimbe believes Henry Cavill will stay on as Superman.

-Matt Reeves’ trilogy will happen in its own separate universe.

WOOOH, did they originally have plans for Hourman?
I didn't know....

Don't you think we've come to a stage in technical development which can make the green constructs look amazing?

Warner Bros, D.C Films And Chernin Teaming On ‘Hourman’ Film – Deadline

You'd hope so. It's already been more than a decade since the first film.

Give me this team-up

I hope it will get made.
Hourman isn't known to the GA so a name actor could help the film.

Warner Bros Discovery Layoffs David Zaslav JJ Abrams Walter Hamada Mike De Luca Pam Abdy, – Deadline

Funny how Zaslav gets painted as a practical, forward-thinking cost cutter w a plan one moment, then as a rash penny pincher with limited knowledge of the movie business the next.

Relevant bit from the article:

One HBO Max project that sources point to as being on solid ground and moving along is Constantine, a darker reboot of the DC Comics character from British writer Guy Bolton. The project is set around a diverse lead, rather than the one played by Matt Ryan in the 2014 NBC series and The CW’s Arrowverse, or the 2005 Keanu Reeves feature film.

Ugh, JJ Abrams sucks.

Understandable in the current unclear situation.
Some steps seem to be smart, others not...comes down to what he does to projects people are invested in at the moment.

It all will take months before we get some idea what is more true for Zaslav.
At the moment, people are all over the place because thats where the DCEU is...all over the place.
Some stuff works, some doesnt...its only natural that his choices and ideas are that too.
