300 is a damn good movie, but eros is right, it vastly different from a potential JLA or SR sequel.

300 does not require the same type of SFX that JLA and SR sequel would require. 300 is basically fight scenes in slow motion, in front of a green screen. How much money do they need for that. Come on... that's vastly different format from was JLA or SR sequel will need.

The JL team will fit better in a sequel, is just one moment/place to fight which means less time/money.

Dear DeepThroatWB,

Please tell WB that they must leave Nolan alone and allow him to do at least 3 Batman films. And while you're at it, mention that they should allow Singer to complete his 3 Superman movies as well. Thank you.

Regards,
FlawlessVictory

Well said. I agree with what you've written.

Though I think DeepThroatWB is just some joker making up stuff. This same thing used to occur on the "Angel" board I was on 3-6 years ago.

Look how great the action was in Revenge of the Sith. That movie was all Greenscreen too, it's just that 300 and Sin City where purposely stylised like that.

Look what was done with 300 on a 60 million budget. It is becoming more and more probable.

and since the technology is every month better it will be soon when the CGI enviorments will look even more real with that kind of budget.

so if you think about it the movies should get cheaper. but they wont

The concept of the film is Batman Vs. Superman with other heros. Take X-men 1 or 2, or even 3, and replace Logan & Xavier's rolls with Bruce Wayne/Batman, and make Superman into Storm & Scotts/Jeans rolls combined, and you have the screen time Batman and Superman have. The other heros are planned to be mere supporting characters, who would branch off into their own films based on popularity(aside from they see it reigniting the Batman and Superman franchises, which would be in their post-Nolan/Bale-Singer/Routh stages at this point). The plan is for Justice League to be made as the next Superman/Batman sequel after the 3rd or 4th of each series, and would introduce new actors. Like how Casino Royale opened small due to a new actor as Bond, Warners fears when Routh and Bale are done, the franchises may be done to. So, by combining "forces", the box office potential inceases a lot. An aweful lot.

ha, another WB wishful & greedy thinking.

300 is vastly different then a pontential Justice League film.

There was an article that came out about a week ago pointing to movies leaning more towards 300 style directing including alot omre green screen work. Why wouldn't they be able to to a JLA movie with more green screen work to save money?

You don't think there were SFX in 300? I don't know what makes you think they can't use the same process of filming to reduce some costs. Think about it, instead of building lavish sets they can do as 300 and the Star War's prequel did to cut costs. You act as if Superman Returns didn't use alot of green screen.

 

[Venom'sDad]

Of course they used SFX in 300... what are you talking about??? Of course they used a lot of green screen for SR... what are you talking about???

I said I agree with Eros insertion of a vastly different type of SFX(as far as style and use). Come on .... lol.

So you're saying by incorporating a similar type of filmaking as was found in 300, they couldn't save money on production, and it would be impossible to incorporate said style of filmaking in JLA or MOS? Not sure what you are drawing your conclusions from.

 

[dark_b]

i agree with showtime here 100%.

NO..... that's what you're saying. LOL... nice try.

Know, I thought you said they should do the entire movie in front a green screen, like they did 300.

 

[Showtime]

NO..... that's what you're saying. LOL... nice try.

I am not saying that, I am saying the opposite. That they could save money by incorporating some of what 300 brought to the table.

 

[Showtime]

Understood. I meant that they could incoporate this type of filmaking. For instance, in Returns they built over 80 different sets, I figure using more of what 300 brought to the table would lessen the sets therefore cutting some of the cost. Just a thought.

 

[C. Lee]

I see many movies going for the maximun CGI effects for a while in the future (it will be the new "trendy" thing).....then it will level out back to a sometime thing with people wanting more actual "real" locations again.

I agree that it will be a trend, I think if it cuts cost for WB it will be a viable option in the near future for epic movies that are grand in scale. I think Singer wanted to film on set more to give it more of a realistic feel. Although some have said it looks extremely unrealistic and they can tell they are just sets.

OK, fair enough...

Digital sets are not always cheaper than real ones. And they do not work well for all kind of movies.

:heart: :heart:

 

[Showtime]

Still could be a viable option and it could cut costs on any project. Troy could have benefited from this type of filmmaking. Whether it would fit for a Superman sequel is certainly debatable, but since WB made 300 they have to be thinking about the possibilities. They seem to be keeping their options open.

 

[DeepThroatWB]

Well as long was the big fx films keep not doing big numbers, theyll become cheaper as unlike 96-02, big fx are not a big hit maker alone. That is why some good does come out of Poseidon's or Stealth's flops. Their prices are supposably on the decline.

 

[Maze]

Good.

the key is there.

and of course good filmmalkers.

any names director's name mentionned for Jla Deep?

 

[Lighthouse]

I think I'm one of the few people that really doesn't want to see a JLA movie. I find these characters much more compelling when they all have their own stories and don't interact much. JLA works well for an animated series but for a movie I think it will be just way too much and crowded. The only collaboration picture I can see working is a Superman/Batman movie because of their complicated relationship.

 

[Retroman]

Interesting developments in the past week.
That WW2 thriller is shaping up nicely with Cruise on board. And it certainly still looks like Singer will be directing the sequel (Rob Burnett filmed him signing the deal) and i'm glad he is because i loved SR.Having said that, deep down, the thought of a Wachowski Superman movie is pretty darn exciting i must say.
