[Dresden]

Bleh.

 

[phazedplasma]

wow, huge blow for Marvel


this really sucks, wright has directed some of the best action this decade.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Well this movie is going to suck.

 

[Hot Coldman]

there's probably zero reason for this film to exist now

sorry Ant-Man fans

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Why?

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


;_;

 

[mj1108]

Marvel and Edgar Wright jointly announced today that the studio and director have parted ways on ANT-MAN due to differences in their vision of the film.

Wright's vision: make it good
Marvel's vision: make it another Marvel movie

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Will the Wright/Cornish script remain intact?

 

[Fancy Clown]

Well, I'm no longer excited for the movie. I'm sure whatever Wright wanted was 100x more interesting than whatever the studio wanted.

 

[Messypandas]

I guess pegged another director already, but feel like this would be one of those set backs that would move the release date

I can read between the lines

 

[Brazil]

Fuuuuuck

 

[Skinny Pete]

WTF this sucks. Guy has been working on this for years and then leaves?

 

[Bulzeeb]

I guess he wasn't the Wright man for the job after all...

lets hope this doesn't affect the movie

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Movie's dead.

 

[Dalek]

Damn that's crazy. He was working on it for so long.

 

[Xdrive05]

-1 ticket sale here.

 

[Anth1888]

Will the Wright/Cornish script remain intact?

That's the big question now.

 

[The Technomancer]

Damnit, yeah, hype dropping, I wanted to see Wright's Ant Man

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

 

[Slayven]

Please mean that Pym is back as the lead.

 

[Exterminieren]

FUCK. NO.

EDGARRRRRRR

 

[Bobby Roberts]

"Different Visions" after all that talk about giving him the time he needs and letting him prep the movie (and shift the course of the Marvel Universe) for almost a DECADE?

"Different Visions" seems like when you say a marriage ended due to "Irreconcilable Differences" because putting the REAL reason for the split on the paperwork would be unseemly.

 

[Skab]

While it sucks to lose him, it really depends on who replaces him.

Movie can still turn out fine.

 

[Dave_6]

Well this fucking sucks!

 

[Platy]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo =O


2/3 of the Hype that I had was lost =(

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Well there goes most of my hype

Same. I mean, Paul Rudd. But this sucks.

 

[mjc]

I can see Cornish taking over. And I'd be ok with that.

 

[kinoki]

Just hire Matthew Vaughn. He'll do it quick and easy and it'll probably be better for it.

 

[Jonogunn]

First bad blow for marvel.

 

[lawful]

Seems like a real douchey move on his part.

 

[Gleethor]

God fucking dammit.

 

[shadyspace]

Please mean that Pym is back as the lead.

Easy trade here.

 

[Messypandas]

Wright always described this as "one night" kind of heist movie didn't he? (like DREDD for example). Maybe that didn't play well into Marvels over-arching narratives.

 

[Anoregon]

Well this is unfortunate.

 

[Tucah]

Well fuck this movie then

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

That's a shame

 

[Anth0ny]

So damn sad. Hype was so high for this, and just like that, it's gone.

 

[sappyday]

After all that time. Fuck this was my most anticipated movie out of all superhero movies.

 

[Bricky]

Fucking hell, and I was so excited for him directing a Marvel movie too. They better find someone damn good to replace him.

 

[gazele]

This sucks

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Please mean that Pym is back as the lead.

This would be a huge consolation prize for me. I love Wright and had faith in him making a great movie despite all the crazy changes, but if that was his decision I hope it goes with him.

 

[Serpentine]

Well, now i have zero reason to care about this one. Hell, now no one has any reason to care about Ant-Man

 

[Lafiel]

Hype deflated.

What could have been.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Well shit

 

[Black Republican]

dat friday news dump

 

[Mariolee]

How the hell does this not affect the 2015 release date? Holy shit.

 

[gazele]

This would be a huge consolation prize for me. I love Wright and had faith in him making a great movie despite all the crazy changes, but if that was his decision I hope it goes with him.

There's no way the script or casting changes if it comes out in 2015

 

[bananas]

Maybe Wright wanted to delay the filming and Marvel had enough? I dunno.

They've been developing the movie with Edgar Wright for 8 years, so it seems weird that they would suddenly have different visions. I think Marvel Studios/Disney got tired of waiting.

 

[jtb]

dammit.

I blame Disney.

Seriously, WTF.

 

[jstripes]

Well, at least he's freed up to do something else now. There's always that.
