Danger averted?

Now Aisha needs to explain why she liked a question re: snyder cut on twitter on the week of SDCC, lol.

Is she one of those people who likes everything tweeted at her? Because every time a non-event becomes a news story because someone clicked like on a Tweet or Instagram post, my first impulse is "They probably click like on a bunch of ####."

someone please check her likes lol

maybe tweet her to experiment

she said on her bio she's award winning or something, should really not be that dumb as a host, but who knows

 

[Kevin_28]

She is a fan of Snyder and his work in the DCEU. She does need to be careful though as she seems to be wandering into the... danger zone

 

[kguillou]

Lol i never read into "likes" guys. She probably wants the Snyder cut too thus why she liked the tweet. Thats all.

Meanwhile, when is this WSJ article droppin'?! Even if its not an announcement, I'm very curious to read what this writer has to say about all this.

I guess anyone with a subscription care to tell what it says? It just seems that it's just stating there's people hoping for the Snyder Cut?

 

[harlequinade]

Yeah and makes fun a little bit of them too

Devotees have pored over every bit of information released about “Justice League” to find hints of the movie Mr. Snyder envisioned before the reshoots. Using early trailers, photos from production and unused visual effects shots leaked online, they have picked out changes including a discarded origin for the character Cyborg and a scene in which Mr. Whedon apparently cut Gotham City Police Commissioner Gordon saying “again” at the end of one line.

says nothing new and says there won't be a Snyder cut.

 

[kguillou]

Well, I'll admit I was wrong. That article was a giant waste of time and an excuse to make fun of Snyder fans. Based on this guy's past articles i wasnt expecting that and was expecting someghing more of substance. But, the guy at least gave us a conclusive answer. No Snyder cut is coming. Which is cool, an answer is all I wanted from the beginning.

All right, friends. I think its time to officially pack it in. Was fun while it lasted. I dont get why the guy felt the need to write this whole extensive article about basically nothing if only just to say there is no Snyder Cut.

 

[STARMAN]

I've been wrong plenty of times when speculating on these articles. Two weeks ago, I speculated that the HR would finally tell us MOS 2 was in active development and giving us names of screenwriters.


This time the article appears exactly what I thought it would be.

oh there are already people saying it's a lie and propaganda!

Just read the article. It's a hit piece. Reminds me of when WB was desperate to make Abrams' Superman back in 2003, the 1st draft of the script leaked and was ripped to shreds on fan forums. Not a week later Latino Review had a review on a 2nd draft of it where magically all problems were solved. Nothing new here. WB has gone to lengths like leaking scripts to bloggers just to protect their interests. Guess what ended up happening? Abrams was fired, subbed by Josh Schwartz and the movie was never made. That's exactly what this article is. No trace of Jay Oliva's tweets or mention of him, just in case he says something they don't like...

The annoying thing is that Cavill article was about a new contract but he didn’t sign as expected.

I think the Snyder Cut stuffs gotten a little out of hand. I am fine with the movement and support of it but these people need to stop hijacking the posts about the new DC Films with the Snyder movement stuff.

 

[gdw]

So someone from WB ACTUALLY commented on it?
After all this time?

I think that was a HUGE mistake on their part. They either should have stayed the course of not even acknowledging it, or they should have responded with something of ACTUAL substance.

They gave it the TINIEST bit of attention by acknowledging it, hopeing it would go away, and now stuck with this cat, lol. It will keep coming back now, and forever.
They can't go back to ignoring it, pretending it doesn't exist, and hope it goes away now, lol.


Honestly, with today's technology and data access, I'm surprised there hasn't been a leak of the full rough cut. Certainly seems inevitable now.

 

[BH/HHH]

Thing is how practical is it for them to do it? Snyder’s Film clearly still needs a ton of FX work which would cost a fortune and they’d never make it back. Cavill’s right what he says about the financials of it all. If you were in charge of WB you wouldn’t greenlight it either.

 

[harlequinade]

After all that, it’s another hit piece. You’ve wronged some great people, man. I even started reading your book. What a shame.

Who said anything about greenlighting it now? I've always said it's coming as a companion of an eventual home release of a successful JL2 and I stand by that. By then it'll already be almost 10 years later, VFX needed will be cheaper and possibly the current execs will be already out of WB and have a very different approach to this situation.

Even then how are they gonna pump that amount of money in to finish it? I want it but I am doubtful we’ll ever get it cause even in ten years VFX may improve but they’ll still be expensive.

They did it for Blade Runner. The ending has VFX added in the new version. They did it for Superman II, where they had to buy the Brando footage back from the Brando estate (yes, that footage didn't belong to WB). It's not the first time a studio pumps money into an alternate cut.

Didn't Donner use some of his own money for that plus I am sure 'some' of the money was crowd-funded.

Blade Runners a lot older than JL. Superman II is a lot older than JL even in 2006 it was. Also don’t know if you know but that film had a budget too and they couldn’t do everything with it they wanted. Also neither of those cuts will cost what it would to finish Snyder’s JL.

 

[Aurakles]

If don't care if the VFX isn't finished, I'd be content with Fisher running around in Pyjamas so long as we get to see all of his acting and he can deliver all of his lines.

I'd happily pay for money just to read Terrios script.

 

[kguillou]

oh there are already people saying it's a lie and propaganda!

I'm gonna be real, I was being hopeful and optimistic about it but at some point you just gotta let sleeping dogs lie. I was waiting to see what this "article" from a guy who seemed reputable would say about it and it ended up saying nothing at all. And then in a tweet he says the execs confirmed no Snyder cut when he could have just said that from the beginning. The article was literally spam.

So with that, im officially done. Im moving on and i think everyone else should too. Zack's story ended with BvS and Superman dead and thats all we're ever getting.

And how much exactly would it cost? Are you guys aware he stepped down in May? So Whedon can make the VFX + score + script rewrite for his reshot version in 4 months, but Snyder in 8 months of post left all unfinished. Yeah, right...

Henry also commented on the Snyder Cut with Yahoo:

Ever since, there’s been an unending number of think-pieces about why Warner Bros. should release the original director’s version (if there actually is one), though Superman actor Henry Cavill doesn’t think it “will make any difference.”

“I don’t know if [a Snyder cut] actually exists so the only way I can look at it is as a business model, and I don’t know what difference it’s going to make,” the actor told Yahoo Movies UK during the press tour for Mission: Impossible – Fallout. “There are stories to be told, which need to be told and adjustments that can be made, but that’s not going to make any difference.

“I think it might be entertaining, for sure, and go, ‘Oh look, now I’ve scratched that itch,’ but it’s not going to change anything that I can think of, it’s not going to make huge amounts of money all of a sudden for a studio.

“They’re not going to release it into cinemas and so they’re not going to suddenly make an extra few hundred million,” Cavill added. “So it would be interesting to see what the difference is, but I’d rather focus on the future rather than what’s been.”

The British actor has been teasing the future of Superman for a while now, whose next outing is expected in Man of Steel 2. So far, there’s been no definitive plot given but Cavill told Yahoo Movies UK that he wouldn’t mind them looking to Brian Azzarello’s For Tomorrow title for inspiration.
