Montoya is probably gay, Black Mask is rumored to be turned gay for the film and comics Harley, and modern comics/feminist film in general, tends to push that stuff so probably.

I do too, but every single outfit of hers in this movie shown isn't even remotely as hot as the one from Suicide Squad. It also doesn't help that she lost some of that meat on her bones it seems.
Will watch the movie in theathers if the reviews are good, otherwise on vod later and in the meantime Wolf of Wall Street again.

The director is Cathy Yan, her only other film is Dead Pigs which doesn't even have a wikipedia page.
I would assume the action is filmed with a 2nd unit.

James Gunn is going to have his work cut out for him. First SS and now this bomba.
I still have faith in his work though.

Infact just a tease. But of the right kind... Pretty well done...

I've never heard of this woman whatsoever until I started watching trailer reactions a few days ago. Apparently they've only done one other movie, like someone else mentioned above me. If there's anyone talking up the director, it's probably Twitter types pushing the fact she's a female minority (Asian-American) director. They damn sure don't have much any a body of work.
(Unless you mean the John Wick director, who IIRC is not here. They got the fight choreographer from John Wick to help with fight sequences in this film, not the director themselves)
Anyway I'm torn on watching this. The supporting girl cast just seems like they're there for a paycheck, doing the bare minimum. The main villain seems like they're into the part though. I don't read the comics, so I don't know much about any LGBT agenda stuff or whatever. I don't have any issue with BM being gay, but I can understand why fans of the comic might if it's not in line with accuracy to his portrayal in the comic series.
I'm still trying to figure out how that Grace chick from Beyond The Trailer compared this to True Romance, though. I didn't get much of a True Romance vibe from the trailer, but I can see some trace similarities. Now they've got me picturing Patricia Arquette's character somehow driving off to Gotham and going Harley Quinn. Damn cinematic universe crap xD.

There's no real hook to see this movie. Didn't see anything here which says we should spend our time watching it. At this point, we're post-audience film making anyway so maybe it doesn't matter.

the thought of seeing a spin off of Suicide Squad is just...

This movie might be trash, regardless, but I almost feel like it’s unfair Joker to any other “comic book movie” right now.

I feel ya, but I’m not confident BoP will make a lot of money. It seems to have a flop vibe to me but I am wrong all the time
(I pulled this from the CA thread since my reply fit more here)

Yeah, it's a hard movie to get a feel for. Everything about it screams disaster but it's also super difficult to imagine a Harley Quinn movie actually underperforming.

For those interested there’s a new animated Harley Quinn movie

Sounds like both Birds of Prey and James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” will be R-rated

Birds of Prey, Suicide Squad 2 to Be R-Rated after Joker's Success
Surprising no one, Warner Bros. will aim for an R-rated release of both 'Birds of Prey' and 'The Suicide Squad' in the wake of 'Joker's success.

So apparently BoP exists in a parallel timeline from Suicide Squad

Birds of Prey Director Says Harley Quinn Movie Is in a Parallel Timeline
How long is Birds of Prey set after Suicide Squad? Director Cathy Yan says the film takes place in a parallel timeline, so don't expect a firm answer.

I expect nothing. And think it will be on that Suicide Squad level. Hopefully more coherent though.

Damn, no reaction from anyone else?
I thought this new trailer would spark something, but I’m usually wrong with that instinct

It looked better than the last trailer, but still like it's going to be a badly written, overtly woke cringefest.
Also they've clearly gone for 'Hollywood ugly' women, and that Cassandra Cain is a travesty.

looks like a tv show with a high budget. also they need to come up with some costumes just grabbing random clothes from a thrift store doesn't = costume design.
im feeling like one movie's worth of her Harley was enough for me. her accent isn't doing it for me anymore.
she might have peaked with the ass bend over shot from the SS trailer.

Wonder if this will make more than that new star wars movie?

Every single frame, of that new trailer, annoys the hell out of me - watching it was exhausting. I was feeling pretty good, today.... but now.... I want to lie down and take a long, dreamless, nap.
It will probably do monster numbers at the box office.

all the side characters are v dull. this does look like a step up for her character at least. last movie had her being pimped out by the Joker and punched in the face by Batman. then them feeding her jello through the nose. there was a lot of fucked up shit in SS, kinda felt like an 80s Canon Film at times. that's what these modern blockbusters remind me of, 80s b-movie trash. just with higher budgets and worse writing.

It's still not doing anything for me unfortunately. Looks terrible.
I'll still see it though because I'm a slave to comic book movies.
*EDIT*
With my expectations being so low, I'll probably end up enjoying it while everyone else hates it.

I don’t think there’s a thread for it but I just watched the Harley Quinn animated season that came out on DC Universe recently and it’s awesome. Best Harley portrayal ever. Highly recommend

Don't know what they're talking about there. It's set after Suicide Squad. Harley mentions Captain Boomerang and being arrested by Batman in the movie.

So Joker was a dangerous toxic white male revenge fantasy, but this is female empowerment despite being way more violent?
Go girls! Go media praising it! Hypocrites, yay!

yesterday i was kind of surprised to learn this is rated R
then i realized that it's going to have an R for language and violence, no titties allowed
makes me miss the 90s
let me know when "blood soaked and violent" has been changed to "slutty and revealing" and maybe ill buy a ticket
