why woudl WB consider Hobbit a "failed experiment" when the third movie is doing gangbusters?

Because it taps into the internet's delusions.

 

[Blader]

I dunno, he says "final" fight, who says Doomsday is not the final fight but the middle one?

Spoiler

Devin said the final battle of the movie is the trinity vs. Doomsday.

 

[Dead]

Because it taps into the internet's delusions.

lol, exactly

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I'll bump the thread if its fake or not once BvS comes out and Bruce talks to his dead dad

You really don't have to, but I'm betting you won't even remember this loaf was ever pinched within a couple weeks.

 

[Bellamin]

Why not? My expectations are already pretty low. Is it too late to get Paul Dini involved?

 

[m_shortpants]

I guess I could see them doing a multiverse.

 

[OneEyedKing]

I bet WB is incredibly proud at how they managed to keep so much about this movie/universe secret that all these shitty sites are eager to run the most blatant bullshit.

 

[Gleethor]

After all of the complaints about Batman's voice in TDK and TDKR they sure as hell aren't going with a voice modulator.

 

[ryan299]

I guess I could see them doing a multiverse.

That's the only thing I believe from the whole thing. devin from badass has hinted at it before and I could see them doing it as I think they're going to try to build a JL on tv.

 

[lovely ladies]

Why are there so many spelling mistakes? It sounds fine.

 

[Jarmel]

This sounds like a complete fucking mess. A 3.5 hour film? Are they fucking serious?

 

[BLACKLAC]

I hope sites run with this so I can see more Campea rage.

 

[Father_Brain]

hahahahahahahahaha no

 

[Sheppard]

So....we all know this is bullshit right? I mean you wouldn't have Ted Kord over Batman in a JL film and the voice modulator idea was from Kevin Smith Fatman on Batman Podcast.


All of this smells horrible.

After the first edit. Movies usually go through like 3 to as many as 10+ edits watching for time and content.

That's a shitload of cut content just to get it to the 2.5 hour mark.

 

[Gorillaz]

If true not sure im a fan of the multiple universes from a mainstream standpoint. I think that will get messy

 

[Dead]

That's a shitload of cut content just to get it to the 2.5 hour mark.

Not that uncommon

 

[Maddocks]

Once I read "failed experiment" on Hobbit, I knew it was fake. BOF is wonky when it comes to their facts and sources, sometimes they are good other times its hopes and dreams.

 

[Ahasverus]

Honestly, the only part of this rumor I want to be true is the one of a director's cut of MoS.

 

[Jarmel]

Not that uncommon

Avengers had a runtime of 143 and 30 minutes of deleted scenes. We're talking over half an hour on top of that. Movie is long.

 

[duckroll]

they believe that script is “TOO GOOD”

Hahahahahahaha. Good one.

Avengers had a runtime of 143 and 30 minutes of deleted scenes. We're talking over half an hour on top of that. Movie is long.

Do you know how editing even works? Not everything they shoot are released as "deleted scenes". Assembly and reconstruction is a huge part of editing and it is iterative.

You have to remember, there is more than even that.

Scene extensions, transitions, seconds here, seconds there, trimming scenes here and there, that along with scenes taken out wholesale can add up pretty fast.

 

[Jarmel]

Hahahahahahaha. Good one.

Well it's going to be all Terrio so it's possible?

Although that line about how Goyer tried to humanize Lex Luthor too much doesn't give me much hope.

 

[IconGrist]

Yea, Avengers did, sure. We're talking the scope of all movies. Not just comic book ones. You can't tell how long a movie is going to run exactly (credits included) until you slap it altogether and see what you got.

 

[SteveWinwood]

"its too good"

:/

 

[Jarmel]

I'm fully aware. A film is largely made in the editing room. The film was always going to be at the 2.5 hour mark. However the question is whether it's closer to the 3 mark. The whole post gives the worry that the plot is way too complex.

Well it's also likely all a steaming pile of bullshit. Lol. Snyder being over indulgent and making a long movie, I can totally believe. But nothing in this set of rumors seem very credible. Having a DC "Cinematic Multiverse" sounds stupid as hell too.

 

[SimleuqiR]

This sounds like a complete fucking mess. A 3.5 hour film? Are they fucking serious?

Correction they are "bleep" serious.

My head hurts after ready all that.

Snyder can carry a movie visually, all he needs is a good script.

 

[Blader]

You really loved Argo, I take it.


(I liked the movie myself, just think it's odd that so many people see Terrio writing BvS as some kind of slam dunk for the script)

he's in luck then. This one is apparently too good

 

[rude]

A spike jonze flash oh laaawd. Would never happen.

I said "good" dammit! Not "too good"!

I wasn't that fond of Argo but I liked it enough. That said, I could see some suits losing their minds off a decent superhero story compared to the dogshit Goyer puts out.

A DC multiverse is a terrible idea but I can sadly see them doing it. A big part of DC comics is multiverse shit (yes I know Marvel does it too) so I could see WB doing it to stand out from Marvel.

 

[Gartooth]

A DC multiverse on screen would be cool to see just for something like Bale vs. Affleck Batman alone, but is something I highly doubt is ever happening.

 

[KalBalboa]

If true, there are some great ideas here.

 

[Log4Girlz]

GL should suit up when on serious business. Keep that Domino mask only in private situations. I can imagine a mask kind of akin to certain renditions of sub zero or scorpion from mortal combat. I also like Alex Ross' armored look from an older GL.

 

[Ahasverus]

If they insert magic (Temyschyra, Shazam) multiverse is the only explanation. I mean this rumor might be mostly wishes and conjectures, but he might be onto something.

 

[MHWilliams]

Jordan.

Sigh.

 

[SigmasonicX]

and what's interesting about Stewart? he's the least interesting of them all. only time Stewart was a decent character was in the 1970s and when he was crippled. you got four Human Lanterns to choose from. Jordan is the flagship and is going to remain that way.

Remember that when people talk about the John Stewart Green Lantern, they are more often then not talking about the one from the cartoons, where he was an interesting and likable character. Plus, you know, he's a black superhero that a decent number of people are familiar with, and if that part of this rumor is true, then he lost his chance at a lead role.

 

[Nyanmaruz]

The Batman description sounds more like Moon Knight than Batman lol.

 

[Dahbomb]

Initial cut of Batman vs Superman is 3.5 hours long?

Yeah ok man.

 

[Dryk]

"We have enough material for two movies" "Make it three!"
"We have enough material for three movies" "Make it two!"

I know this whole post smells of bullshit, but that to me stuck out as the sort of thinking you would actually find at a big studio

 

[J10]

I would happily watch a 4 hour Justice League movie. I'm not even kidding.

You're in luck then! Though it comes with a 1.5-year intermission...

they did even less with him in JLA and JLU. none of his architectural constructs, none of his past about how he became Hal's back-up and why. there really wasn't much to work with there. but his episodes with Wally were very good. all four (six if you count Alan Scott and Simon Baz) have very deep and meaty backgrounds that you can do a lot with.

plus, Stewart has ever headlined only one book and was last on TV more than ten years ago. Hal and Guy have a longer history plus Hal is the main guy right now.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Honestly, the only part of this rumor I want to be true is the one of a director's cut of MoS.

But the proposed "Director's Cut" in this bullshit rumor includes doing an ANIMATED SHORT that they'd just glue to the front of the movie.

The rumor also suggest the budget for that animation would come from refusing a 3D conversion.

No way Warners gives up spending the 10-20 mil to do the conversion KNOWING they're going to get minimum 40-50 mil in extra box-office revenue due to the 3D prices being 3-4 bucks higher per ticket, JUST so Zack Snyder can put a 30 minute animated film at the beginning of a blu-ray only cut of Man of Steel.

The whole thing is dumb as fuck.

 

[guek]

What's with the shitty writing? Anywho, sounds too awful to be believable. So much unnecessary Snyder pandering. It's possible the whole project has been one big clusterfuck but this fake leak isn't on point.

 

[Delta Assault]

It's okay, if WB gets tired of Snyder, they can always bring in Richard Lester to finish the second film.

 

[OricWindstar]

They say the Green Lantern's mask is impractical because it doesn't hide one's identity, yet we already have the classic Clark Kent/Superman glasses situation.
