It appears as if Warner Bros. is finally ready to start promoting Aquaman and things have kicked off with an article on Entertainment Weekly featuring those involved with the DC Comics adaptation heaping praise on what James Wan has done with the character. It's an unusual tact but one which is necessary for the studio given the response to movies like Batman v Superman and Justice League.
"James has done an incredible job with his team," Warner Bros. boss Toby Emmerich exclaims. "The film is taking you to a different place and imagining the underwater world in a way you haven’t seen before." Producer Peter Safran, meanwhile, adds that Aquaman has "got the great action you expect, it’s got a lot of great humor, it works on so many levels … it’s a testament to James’ unique vision. I think it’s an extraordinary step in DC Universe that sets it on the right path." Sounds good, right?
Apparently, we'll not only get to see the seven undersea kingdoms but also giant octopi and Atlanteans riding great white sharks into battle. "The underwater stuff has never been executed like this before," Geoff Johns teases. "The visual effects shots coming in are just beautiful. James can switch modes from horror to big bright colorful action to really emotional scenes. He’s so able to hit all these different genres." The site adds that the movie is "visually more punchy" and features "more humour."
So, everyone seems to be saying the right things but will Aquaman deliver to the extent that everyone here is claiming? Time will tell but with the trailer expected to surface any day now, we'll have a better idea of where things are going before too long! What do you guys think? Share your thoughts below.
