The Dark Knight Rises You Have My Permission To Lounge - Part 6

[Spider-Aziz]

This man answered that question.

He worked for it......10 infractions equal permban....he got 10 infractions.

It's a real shame, I'll miss his presence on these boards.

 

[redfirebird2008]

Nolan, are you out there? Wanna come back?

That probably depends on the box office results of Dunkirk, which is truly a coin flip project at this point. Could be a big flop or could be a nice success for him depending on the film's word of mouth.

 

[shauner111]

Ehh I just want Nolan and Hardy to do a Bond film after Dunkirk.

I think we already got Nolan's Bond movies with the TDK Trilogy and Inception. Plenty of Bond elements in each of those four movies. I would rather see him stay away from franchises. But if he has enough flops at the box office, he might be dragged back into doing Batman movies again.

 

[shauner111]

Elements yes. But they're not Bond movies all the way. Hardy recently suggested Nolans name again for Bond, when he was asked about playing him. Tom said he won't beg for the role in the press because those actors never get the role after

It would be insane. A lot better than the Cavill and Hiddleston suggestions/rumors from the last few months.

Nolan would never touch the character if he was already played by an actor a few times (like Craig). But starting from scratch with the freedom to have s hand in casting the new 007? I believe that Chris would jump at the chance of doing it. I'd be down for only 1 film, then he passes it onto another director.

Based on what? He has expressed nothing but admiration for Craig's Bond films. If he only wants to make a stand alone Bond film, he can do so with Craig.

 

[shauner111]

He can but I doubt it because he likes having control. Which includes casting. Stepping into a franchise after the 4th film with a tired actor in the role doesn't sound like something he would be up for. I could be wrong. But I see him doing it from scratch or at least early in the new Bonds journey.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Maybe Bond is like a dominatrix for him. He is prepared to surrender control for this one occasion.

And Craig could easily be rejuvenated with a fresh creative team. Didn't he have a talk or two with Babs about Bond? And this was knee deep in Craig's run. You never know what the future holds in Hollywood. I think Nolan would direct one sooner than later.

 

[BatLobster]

I think the potential issue of doing either Batman or Bond at this point in time is it might be hard to craft villains that actually seem more horrific than the people currently in power without being super on the nose.

Gerard Butler is back in America Has Fallen. The entire country has been taken hostage.... by the president!

Not true. Crazy Quilt is scary as f**k.

UGGHH Deadline is saying Terrio rewrote Ben and Geoff's script. If they go with Terrio, I'm honestly done with this goddamn movie unless they hire a really amazing director.

Sounds like a must watch.
And I hope it's not a continuity burdened movie.

The good news just keeps on coming for this movie!

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Oscar winner Chris Terrio is penning the script. This is sure to be amazing!

That's literally what DCEU fans are saying on sites like Batman News (along with the obligatory "The Martha scene is great and unfairly hated" and "All problems with BvS' script are Goyer's fault").

This place was found.

You roam around the boards and you see some of them talk **** in some very old thread that only *they* visit, so it's a nice hiding space. Mocking you. "Snyderbros", deluded DC fanboys and other names.

Maybe the bold part should be reduced.

Funny, during the lead up to BvS we've heard how brilliant it was gonna be due to Terrio. But post-BvS apparently he was barely involved.

What thread is that from ?

It's just frustrating because you could see so much of this coming a mile away.

Zack Snyder is a very divisive filmmaker who just made the most controversial Superman film ever....sure, let's have him launch our extended universe with this one super important movie that everything will kind of hinge on to establish our brand.

Geoff Johns hasn't proven a thing about what he's capable of in the film industry, or as a screenwriter....sure, we'll throw him up a few rungs on the corporate ladder and have him co-write the script for Batman.

We want to have what Marvel has....but sure, we're still going to be the "filmmaker driven" studio. That won't lead to any creative conflicts.

Writing, directing, producing and starring in a Batman movie is a hell of a lot of responsibility for one guy who's already extremely busy....let's pressure him into doing it even more and fast track it.

I mean, honestly, at the end of the day Batman always bounces back so I'm not even that mad as a fan. It's just crazy to see WB (as John Campea noted, an otherwise stellar studio) fumbling around so much coming off the heels of a highly successful Batman trilogy. It just reeks of vintage, 90s WB, and I'm really not sure how this can defended by anyone at this point. You can even be a fan of the movies (like Campea) and still recognize the train wreck for what it is. There's a palpable level of franticness in much of their decision-making.

I can understand fans who want the universe to continue and are therefore rooting for it to succeed, I get that. Heck, I'm still hoping The Batman finds a great director and turns out really good. But I'm sorry, when BvS was announced some fans called it what it was- an attempt to rush into a cinematic universe to catch up with Marvel. And that was just hand waved away by a lot of people. I hate to say it, but in a way with all these setbacks WB is getting exactly what they deserve for trying to rush it and shove this cinematic universe down everyone's throats when they hadn't yet earned that desire from the audience. It was a risk that maybe could've paid off if BvS had turned out to be a universally beloved film, but there was always a potential downside to it.

Lounge of Justice in the JL section.

Villeneuve's directing Dune. Such an utter shame. He could've revived his shaky career by begging Geoff Johns and Affleck for a directing gig for the Batman in the wildly successful DCEU.

[Tacit Ronin]

I bet Matt Reeves is just salivating at the notion of leaving the broken Apes franchise and coming to direct for the acclaimed DCEU and be the helmer of guaranteed Oscar nominee the Batman.
