EDITORIAL: DetectiveCinema Presents DC's SUICIDE SQUAD

Warner Brother's Suicide Squad left a lot to be desired. While there is apparently a sequel in the works, here's my take on DC Comics infamous supervillain team.

Filed Under: Suicide Squad
Amanda Waller, a tough-as-nails federal agent, recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated super-villains to perform a black ops mission; infiltrate one of the world’s most secure military bases and retrieve the Apokoliptian artefact known as The Faith. They might not make it back alive but to these hardened criminals serving a life sentence, joining Waller’s Suicide Squad is the chance of a lifetime.

Well, this wouldn’t be the Squad’s first rodeo with all things Apokolip-tic. Interesting cast you have here, if I do say so myself.

Not sure about this cast to be honest. Plot sounds interesting though.

Have you wrote a treatment? Treatments are nice.

I like the cast though and the synopsis. Has a very "sophisticated" take on Suicide Squad. I like it. It needs a good "action blockbuster thriller" vibe unlike the 2016 Suicide Squad.

@AyMan - I haven't written a treatment, unfortunately. Although I might start including a prologue's for each pitch in the future, would that be of interest?
AyMan
AyMan - 9/6/2018, 7:17 AM
@DetectiveCinema - Yeah, like not even the full treatment as those can range from 3-30 pages the max lol.

Maybe just the 1st act? Get us excited to learn more? So that way it's like a pitch document where at the end, we are just desperate to learn what happens next. But yeah in some way a Prologue/1st Act would be great to see.

Not a bad cast. Sure this would be better than what we got.
Fun Fact:- This fan cast was posted on Noah Taylor's 49th Birthday.

@FeedTheHorse - Noah Taylor is great! I loved his stint on Game of Thrones as Locke. I think he'd be perfect for Capt. Boomerang.

"the chance of a lifetime" makes it sound like a Disney channel original movie.

@Kevwebsz - Fair, but it's more a play on words with the fact that these criminals are serving a lifetime sentence.

Another fantastic fancast, really enjoy reading them.
Love the movies you use as inspiration, Oceans 11 was lat film I bought on VHS and used to rewatch it all of the time.
The Town is one of those films that lives upto the book, and just such a good movie.
WHat more needs to be said about the Italian Job, a classic.
Also each pick was great in terms of casting.

@SimplyAz - Thanks man! If you keep reading them I'll keep posting them! An adaption of Jack Kirby's Fourth World is next in the pipeline.

A good Suicide Squad movie would be something like the film Sicario, but with a comic book twist
