Director David Fincher ("Girl With The Dragon Tattoo") has a new movie coming out fairly soon, Gone Girl. It stars Ben Affleck ("Argo"), and he is beginning to do some press for it. Recently, the New York Times chatted with the Affleck and got him to yap a bit about Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. He describes Chris Terrio's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice script as "really unique to the genre and really smart." And despite fans initially criticizing Warner Bros. for choosing Affleck to be the next Bruce Wayne/Batman the actor says he is "having a blast" on set.

BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE - Zack Snyder will direct. It's written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. The film stars: Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent and Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne. The cast also includes: Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Ma Kent, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. Will arrive in theaters March 25th, 2016.

No kidding, it's written by Chris Terrio. Would Affleck even need to lie? Not a chance. Plus Affleck giving this the thumbs up is just more confirmation of how great this movie will be.

Remember that time?
When actors said their movies have bad scripts and it's going to be bad?

As always is great to hear good things, but it doesn't mean anything.

All jokes aside, I have faith in Terrio. I'm very much looking forward to this movie, more so than Cap 3 tbh. (Don't hit me!)

Hey jollem just curious. I know you've said that MOS is your favorite CBM ever, what's your favorite movie of any genre?

Dat biased headline tho. Oh well, can't really blame it, it's not like articles get attention unless it has some company war bullshit.
@Jollem
MoS was good, and arguably the best of 2013, but I wouldn't say "best CBM ever".
