It's describing all action beats.
Of course it's fake but I do like the direction it goes in. What I really hope is that there is no evil Superman. If there are any changes to Justice League and that was a real possibility I would hope that's one of the first things that goes. JL should be completing the arc Snyder started in MoS for him and that should end with us having a Superman that inspires the rest of the world's heroes. Him sacrificing and returning should do that. Having an evil version completely screws with that I think. So whatever they do I hope they don't go down that road.

this movie will get laughed out of theaters if they go with granny goodness and sell it with the tone they've had in prior movies. that name's gonna change or that character aint staying.
The same could be said of Aquaman but here we are. Granny Goodness or bust!
So Greg Berlanti confirmed in an interview with THR that he and Zach Stentz are attached to the Booster Gold movie. Stentz was writing the script at the time of the interview (April) and Berlanti said he'd like to direct it.
He also said he'd turn down being involved in any Flash movie that didn't involve Grant Gustin.

Wonder when Verendus will pop in to tell us that he has seen Suicide Squad.
That's awesome. Though ordering a script isn't the same as greenlighting the project
I remain hopeful though
What timing, Zack was just on the Fatman on Batman videocast yesterday talking about the Flash episode he wrote, which Kevin Smith directed from this week, and he hinted that he and Greg were working on a secret project. Smith and his co-host knew what it was, but they all said they couldn't say anything. Guess it's this Booster Gold movie.

Had Bats not just gotten over his darkness in BvS, and used Bane in TDKRises, it'd be an interesting segue into venom.
It kind of depends... since the movie isn't heavy into shooting (if it has begun principal filming) I wouldn't be TOO concerned yet.
If it were being rewritten while filmed... yeah

I don't even know these beetle guys.
Is this referring to Justice League?

Snyder wishes he could make something as brilliant as Thor 2. For that matter, Kubrick, Spielberg, Nolan etc. could only dream of having the ability to make something as life-changing.
Thor 2 is the answer to are we alone in the universe. Thor 2 is inspiring, the peak of cinema. Young directors should watch Thor 2 and just soak it in; learn that they will never be able to put something as wonderful on the big screen.
Wong Kar Wai has been rewriting his scripts on set for years and he's churned out like six masterpieces. I don't get why I should worry about a rewrite.
If you were shooting a film, why would you rule out rewrites? If you could think of a better line, why not use it? Filming is an iterative process.

Shooting for a day
*screentest*
SO WHAT DID YOU THINK, WAS IT GOOD DID YOU LIKE IT TELL US!

Razzies!
As was Iron Man. Basically they winged it daily.
You can tell in some of the scenes too. When Bridges offers RDJ a slice of pizza after an argument? No way was that shit on the script. It had to have been as-libbed and the scene is better for it.
It's news until it's not
A lot of things the geek blog-o-sphere reports on... is kind of common for movies, but fans don't know what to make of it... so always run it as a negative.
Rewrites
Reshoots
Keeping a writer's name on a script who is no longer with the project
The last two Bond films, Pacific Rim, Edge of Tomorrow, Guardians of the Galaxy. Almost every blockbuster has tweaks, updates, and changes while on set. Your actors are going to ad-lib, your locations won't fall through, things change on the fly! Plus, you're gonna get sweet advice from other industry regulars and filmmakers.
I'm an editor, and I'd be the first to tell you the script is never finished until I'm done with it. That's why we re-record lines during post (sometimes because the set was too loud, or because we need to add another detail). In fact, we have the power to re-arrange scenes, so it becomes structurally different than the original screenplay.
Let's take Interstellar, the intro of the movie; there were clips of seniors talking about this sci-fi world. It wasn't anywhere in the production draft (because these clips would be used as part of the museum at the end of the film); but I'm positive the editor said, "hey, let's open our world with the purview of these individuals."
Movie making is entirely an iterative process.
It's true. Unless Paltrow has reason to lie about it?

Not really, LoTR was getting daily rewrites and it worked out fine.

Really though all I really need from JL is Darkseid to give some terrifying and over-the top speech.
So did The Hobbit did it not? The lead cause of those things being all over the place. I guess the extent of re-writes is what would be more telling.
I don't remember Darkseid's voice being THIS bad. Yeesh. Frankly, I'm not entirely sure how to do menacing voice properly. No growling at least.

Snyder should just copy-paste this sequence from Justice League War, including the badass music theme. I love this sequence.

It wasn't just getting daily rewrites. Entire story beats and stuff changed as they filmed. Entire sequences were filmed with Arwen as part of the Fellowship, huge changes were made throughout.

I was thinking of something more along these lines:
As opposed to probably the weakest Darkseid since the character got rescued from Jobber's Hell

This makes too much sense.
That'd be an interesting direction in which to go.

That role sounds like the exact same as Geoff Johns current role as CCO. Could mean anything, maybe less on Geoff's plate and he goes back to just writing comics, or it could mean he's going to be more involved in the movie.
edit: oh derp, read the article, he reports to johns. I'm guessing Johns will have more of a role in the movies now.

I wish I knew what it meant, but guess takes some stuff off Diane's plate

There was still a difference though, Jackson had 3 years of pre-production for LoTR, but Zero for The Hobbit, which was why everything was so heavily CG and not Big-atures like in Lotr

Yeah, that one behind the scenes thing is rather depressing to see how the Hobbit just spun out of control on Jackson and company.

Well, the best thing i can say about Stentz's Super hero writing is he didn't fuck up Thor, when Thor was so incredibly easy to fuck up.
Also, the Charisma needed to pull off Booster is ultra high, Tom Cruise or The Rock high

But he did fuck up Thor.
Both Thor movies were terrible.
Although I do expect that Booster will be a better fit for him, judging by the strengths that did exist in those two.

Thor 1 was mediocre, Thor 2 which he didn't write , but was written by same people who wrote Winter Soldier and Civil War, is terrible

Oh, I thought I'd read he did both movies.
Yeah, Thor was merely mediocre, and plays even more into what I'd assume he'd do well in a Booster Gold context.
