THE SUICIDE SQUAD: James Gunn Says The Movie Is Finished; Praises WB For Being "Creatively Amazing"

@mastakilla39 - true, but that's pretty much just a risk with any film/show/book etc. Could have all the talent in the world behind it and excellent source material to work with, and one small thing might not click and it derails the whole thing.

I do feel like Ayer's film was largely screwed up by studio interference, including them hiring that movie trailer company to edit the actual movie if that was true. That's not to say it would've been perfect if he had full control, there were ideas of his that I personally didn't like (like tattooed gangster Joker, although I thought Leto was a good choice at the time, or Enchantress being the villain, etc) but I think it would've at least made more sense if he had more control.

As for WW84, I haven't seen it so I can't really comment on that but even from the trailers, prerelease info, possible leaks, etc there are a lot of ideas that I wasn't keen on there which is a shame because Jenkins and Gadot made an excellent movie the first time around, but like I said sometimes one thing not working can derail the whole thing which I'm guessing might be the case with WW84 if it's as bad as the people who don't like it say it is.

@Se4M4NSt4ine - Your favorite song? :)

@WeaponXCII - only time will tell

@DoubleD - Hey, there's also still Matt Reeves.

@Blergh - I don't want to think about that, but I'm afraid you might be right. Guess we can only hope for the best.

@Blergh - To be fair, that's kind of been my approach to most DC movies over the last few years. (^_^)'

@slickrickdesigns - Yea, I would never trust DC. Their habit of f#cking with super hero films goes all the way back to the Christopher Reeve films. The "okay" things, then get blind with $$$, freak out, and then change things before the films are released. I would never sell on I.P. to them.

@Blergh - I agree. I have many of their films on Blu-ray. And, yes, I don't expect their judgement to be as good as Marvel Studios', because many of the people who have run Warner aren't writers and directors, so they don't seem to know if they have something really good on their hands or not.

Whereas, Marvel is run by artists who "do" know this stuff.

I guess if Warner acted like less of a "business" and was run more by artists (who had good business sense), they might do better.

In the end, they just have to trust the writers/directors and many times they end up with great films.

It is just with the very expensive super hero films, they sometimes get financially nervous, freak out, and make things worse (see the original Superman and Batman films from the seventies and eighties).

@Blergh - Agree 100%.
