For frick's sake....
I'd show up drunk on set too if I knew I was making a steaming pile of shit that wouldn't even matter at that since the DCEU is getting rebooted afterwards.
>Gunn keeps putting out stinker after stinker.
In Gunn We Trust LMAO
Gunn has nothing to do with this movie tho.
The latest version has his notes and a new ending written by him. Just like the other movies that failed this year.
>blockbuster movie director responding to literally whos on Twitter
Sad
>It has notes and new ending due to the Flash!
Oh wow so it’s slightly tinkering on the edges
>The latest cut of the film features neither version of the Dark Knight, according to sources, as new DC heads James Gunn and Peter Safran do not want to promise a movie universe that will not come to fruition, nor tie it down excessively to past failures. “It was pretty chaotic,” said one source.
>Gunn is said to have weighed in on the most recent cut, and the leadership approved a five-day shoot. Sources say the shoot went so well that Wan and company completed what they needed in only four.

A note isn't a dictation, it's a suggestion. There is nothing that says the director followed those notes.
Jesus Christ, just go along with the meme, what's so hard about this?
No, frick you.
If they didn't follow the notes Gunn wouldn't have talked about his involvement in those movies
Giving notes is still involvement, moron. Just like Amber is involved with the movie even if all her scenes get removed. Not everything makes it to the final cut.
Reread the comment chain, you're agreeing with me.
guardians of the galaxy 3 exceeded it's expectations by 20 million dollars
It still made less than the previous movie lmao
By like 25 million?
Vol 3 had a higher budget
>Both Guardians 2 and 3 surpassed The Batman, WB's last great IP
>Aquaman out-performed all three Guardians movies.
NTA, To be fair people only saw Aquaman because it’s good release month and China’s love for the spectacle of overbloated special effects like the Avatar movies. People continued to watch Guardians for the characters,
>Gunn has nothing to do with this movie tho.
Then why did he claim he did? XD
Giving notes it's not the same as changing the entire movie you moron
Taking notes quite literally changes movies
>the entire movie
Its a psyop a couple posters here are trying to pull, they know that
he does have that same bohemian hollywood vampire style anyway, Heard was probably just being paranoid.
>psyop
That’s not what that means moron.
You didn't read the article, did you?
>Depp fans paid the court fees for the release of documents from Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes. The raw notes, scribbled on a legal pad, were part of last year’s high-profile trial in which Depp largely prevailed. They describe a hostile “Aquaman” set where an allegedly intoxicated Jason Momoa dressed like Depp and pushed to have Heard booted from the role of aquatic superhero Mera.
Lmao, based.
>Jason Momoa dressed like Depp
What does that mean? Wearing a suit with no tie like 70% of all actors do?
I'm thinking he likely did a Jack Sparrow impression too to sell that he's Depp
>drunk dude acts like drunk dude
Woooooow
Maybe he bought a Yag Sbarro costume from Spirit Halloween
well for starters he was drunk which is like 70% of the look
then I guess he beat up women and sued them when they complained
>#IStandWithTurd
>then I guess he beat up women and sued them when they complained
Beating up your partner and suing them when they leave is Amber's behaviour though
You forget the shit on the bed.
>Depp fans paid the court fees for the release of documents from Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes
Jesus fricking Christ and I thought Cinemaphile was bad
Got nothing on middle aged women who still schlick to mediocre old men they were horny for as teenagers
It was mostly men if it was redditors, don't kid yourself.
It was also men who were in that group, but I do agree middle age women who are obsessed with celebs are a fricking menace. The way the Olicity fandom was made of mothers in their 40's who harassed and doxed Stepehn Amell's wife because they wanted him to ditch her and frick Emily Rickards was crazy.
I can't make up my mind if this is based or not. It might have just been Momoa acting like a moron.
>>Depp fans paid the court fees for the release of documents from Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes.

based and hilarious
The article is blowing this out of proportion for clickbaits. Amber said he came in dressed in a style similar to Depp and that triggered her. It's not something Momoa did on purpose.
DC and WB should just file for bankruptcy at this point.
>Musk defends Amber
Is that enough for you techbros to stop sucking his dick?
I muted him on Twittter on too long ago, best decision I've made that day
*not too long
musk is one of the biggest morons alive
I support Amber.
Amber with another victim of abuse, kwab
The summer of 1992.
Sorry to hear that.
Everyone on Cinemaphile will fight for Women’s rights. False accusations don’t exist, and you can fight me on that. Women have no reason to lie. We want Aquaman 2! We want Amber! Die Jason and Depp! Why can’t men just not rape and abuse innocent women? Why must Cinemaphile fight each time this happens?
Bejitabro btw
BEJITA-SAMA I SHIT THE BED
Did someone put a curse on DC and WB or something?
Yeah, Zack Snyder.
He seems more like the beginning of it.
You notice that their fortunes started to dip again after Watchmen?
The curse is called "being run by a bunch of out of touch morons"
I mean I'd be showing up drunk on set if I was contractually forced to act in one of these DC movies. You knowing sign for movie(s) knowing it'll flop but the extra bag says they will make another if it sells.
>Movie somehow does great
>Suits ask for 2-3 more

>Agent keeps telling you all these great projects you could have been in if it was not for this movie
>Already 17 re-writes tons of re-shoots CGI constantly being redone
>start drinking to numb the pain
>Start doing fent/benzos with the crew to ACKSULLALY numb the pain

>Editing is done a few more simple reshoots, have not seen the end product yet
>~~*Director*~~ is so proud to show us the final cut
>Been on a 19 day bender started shooting fent&tranq drinking more than I breath air
>Know that will never work in hollywood again
>Cry during an interview with another actor and actress
>Spill all the beans how horrible its been how you deeply regret working for DC/WB almost everyone on set is now abusing drugs an booze heavily
>Movies budget was 200m

>OH GOD OHNONONONO CONTRACT SAYS IM IN TILL THEY SAY NO
>Livestream the email I got forwarding the new script and my pay asking my to sign some papers and to get ready for the new movie
>Can't stop crying telling everyone to please stop supporting this

>CEO's seen the livestream sent paramedics revied an hour later. Told if I tried that again I will be sued to oblivion. Under 24 hour watch, filming starts in a week, been forced into detox, don't speak, don't do anything but look into the void, say my lines crawl back into my hole wishing for death
Look at actress who got struck in contract to play iris west in flash movie.
>I mean I'd be showing up drunk on set if I was contractually forced to act in one of these DC movies.
He's an ostensibly professional actor being paid an outrageous amount of money.
And? If the movie sucks, no amount of money is going to motivate you to be there, especially after several reshoots.
What the frick is going on with that company?
They keep putting baskets into DC because they’ve milked Harry Potter franchise dry.
Potter movies really out their aspirations way too high on franchise IPs.
And now they're apparently rebooting Harry Potter as an HBO show or something. Because they can't just leave well enough alone, I guess (I mean, if they could, they wouldn't have made Fantastic Beasts)
Harry Potter cut a lot of good shit from the books so I don't see the issue. Movie 6 is nearly incomprehensible without prior knowledge of the book and its plot. A lot of important characters barely even have lines in the movies too. Especially the Order members. A longer format series will benefit the adaptation.
>James guns FIFTH DC stinker in a row
You can't make this shit up.
THIS, Don't forget Superman 3 too
>hurr durr Richard Pryor is funny lets just stick him in the movie
BRAVO GUNN YOU PEDO
It's fricking insane how media has tried to villianize Heard. Like yeah I'm sure Johnny Depp of all people is such a innocent baby.
It's not hard to turn people on someone who literally shat the bed.
Frick Heard.
Don't mind if I do
Cry about it troony
>Living to see Capeshit die for the time being for both Marvel and DC are sinking faster than a Dreadnought at Jutland
Marvel at least has Deadpool 3 to get people excited, what does DC have?
Deadpool 3 will bomb the same way 2 did.

>Schrodinger's Gunn's Involvement
moronic marketing strategy.
Musk letters? Don't tell me this fricker asked for Heard to not be totally cut of the movie
>Heard was not fired, however, and that’s reportedly because of Elon Musk. The Variety report alleges that Heard’s former boyfriend had one of his lawyers send a “scorched-earth letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn the house down,” causing WB to relent and bring back Heard for The Lost Kingdom.
What?
What what?
?
Grant Morrison cast a curse on DC comics.
I supported Amber Heard so I hope they leave her alone
>‘Aquaman 2’ Flooded With Drama: Jason Momoa Allegedly Drunk on Set, Amber Heard Scenes Cut, Elon Musk’s Letter to WB and More
>These waters are getting choppy.
>On the same day in mid-September that Warner Bros. dropped the trailer for its $215 million “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” embarrassing documents from the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial surfaced on Reddit, creating a new headache for the studio behind the film.
>Depp fans paid the court fees for the release of documents from Heard’s therapist, Dr. Dawn Hughes. The raw notes, scribbled on a legal pad, were part of last year’s high-profile trial in which Depp largely prevailed. They describe a hostile “Aquaman” set where an allegedly intoxicated Jason Momoa dressed like Depp and pushed to have Heard booted from the role of aquatic superhero Mera.
>“Jason said he wanted me fired,” the notes say. “Jason drunk — late on set. Dressing like Johnny. Has all the rings too.”
>A rep for Momoa declined comment, but a DC spokesperson pushed back on Heard’s characterization, saying, “Jason Momoa conducted himself in a professional manner at all times on the set of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.’” Others echoed that sentiment. “Jason works his ass off, likes to have a beer once in a while like everyone, but doesn’t show up drunk to set,” says an insider who was on the London set in 2021, adding that the two stars got along and were seen joking together. “And he isn’t dressing like Johnny Depp. He has always dressed in that bohemian style.”
>Heard declined comment, but a source close to the actress confirmed that the notes refer to the “Aquaman 2” set and reflect a session from Dec. 27, 2021. Another source close to the actress says her lawyers fought the release of the therapy notes, which had been subpoenaed by Depp’s attorneys during discovery.
>Momoa wasn’t the only “Aquaman” principal to land in the crosshairs. The therapy session also painted a picture of Heard feeling unsupported by the film’s director, James Wan, and treated like a pariah because of her high-profile legal battle with her ex-husband.
>“He raised his voice @ me — ‘I can’t even post about Aquaman’ — made it like it was my fault – I said ‘I’m sorry,’” say Hughes’ notes in reference to Wan. “Nobody could take selfies with me on set given blackout.”
>Wan declined comment. The DC spokesperson says, “James is known for treating members of his cast and crew with the utmost respect and for fostering a positive, collaborative environment on set — the ‘Aquaman’ films were no exception.”
>And yet Heard was nearly fired, sources on both sides tell Variety. Following “Aquaman’s” release in 2018, the studio and Wan decided to drop the actress from the sequel due to her lack of chemistry with Momoa and sent a letter to her attorney, Karl Austen, informing him of its decision. (Former DC Films boss Walter Hamada testified in the defamation trial about the “issue of chemistry.”) Those sources underscore that the move to bounce Heard was unrelated to Depp and took place before he filed suit against the actress in 2019. Likewise, Momoa was not involved in the decision-making. But another source pushed back on the lack-of-chemistry narrative, noting that Heard did a chemistry test with Momoa before landing the role of Mera and beat out two other actresses who did a similar chemistry test, including Abbey Lee.
>Ultimately, the studio never pulled the trigger on firing Heard because her former boyfriend, Elon Musk, had one of his litigators send a “scorched-earth letter to Warner Bros. threatening to burn the house down” if the actress wasn’t brought back for a sequel, says a source familiar with the behind-the-scenes battle. Warner Bros. caved and moved forward with Heard. (Musk did not respond to a request for comment).
>The drama is being rehashed at a time when DC Entertainment toppers James Gunn and Peter Safran are poised to close the book on the previous regime’s superhero slate with the Dec. 20 release of “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” Since Warner Bros. chiefs Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca joined the studio in June 2022, followed by Gunn and Safran’s entrance four months later, the four have been saddled with DC duds they inherited, including this year’s “The Flash” ($271 million worldwide) and “Blue Beetle” ($128 million worldwide).
>Still, the “Aquaman” sequel held promise considering that the character’s first outing earned $1.15 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing DC movie ever. But sources say the sequel has endured challenges outside of the Heard saga and was testing in the 60s before being recut in the summer of 2022. Despite the overhaul, the film continued to test in the 60s, prompting a new cut. “The movie is like this echo of regimes,” says one insider. “It’s the last remnant of the Snyderverse, and no one really wants to take ownership of it.” Reshoots took place right up until this year’s WGA strike in May. The on-set source disputes the idea that “Aquaman 2” is troubled, noting that the film was on time, under budget and needed only about a week of reshoots.
>Like “Flash,” “Aquaman” can’t shake its lame duck trappings, with the DC universe getting overhauled under new leadership, marking Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s top priority.
>In fact, none of the stars cast by Zack Snyder for 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and 2017’s “Justice League” — including Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller and Momoa — will reprise their roles in the new DC universe in character. Momoa may return, just not as Aquaman. Sources say the actor has engaged in talks to play Lobo, either in the 2025 reboot “Superman: Legacy,” written and directed by Gunn, or in a standalone film. In a confusing twist, Viola Davis, who played Amanda Waller in both of the recent “Suicide Squad” movies, will remain as that character in the Gunn-Safran DC universe in next year’s Max series “Waller” and possibly in the new “Superman” tentpole. Another outlier is Gunn’s Max series “Peacemaker,” which will be back for a second season with John Cena in the lead.
>Meanwhile, there has been some confusion on the series front about who is the ultimate gatekeeper. Unlike the Marvel-Disney relationship in which Marvel controls the creative process and Disney+ merely releases the content, Max is creatively involved with the DC slate. Gunn and Safran don’t enjoy the same autonomy as Marvel’s Kevin Feige. (A Max source says the collaboration between the DC team and Max executives Sarah Aubrey and Casey Bloys has been seamless, including on the upcoming series “The Penguin,” which was forced to shut down production after the WGA strike began but is expected resume shooting as soon as the SAG-AFTRA strike ends).
>Regardless, some on the lot are convinced that another company, most likely Universal, will buy Warner Bros. within two years, making recent DC subplots and upheavals feel quaint.
>“The bottom line is they need to get DC to work whether Zaslav owns it, whether Brian Roberts owns it, whether somebody else owns it,” says LightShed’s Rich Greenfield, a Wall Street analyst and venture capitalist.
>In the runup to the “Aquaman” sequel, Warner Bros. will outwardly back the film and hope for a China release like its “Barbie,” “The Flash” and “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” received. After all, the first “Aquaman” earned nearly $300 million in China alone. But those types of China numbers are a thing of the past. Neither “Barbie” nor “The Flash” landed anything close to “Aquaman’s” Middle Kingdom haul from 2018, earning $35.1 million and $25.9 million there, respectively.
>For now, neither Momoa nor Heard will be promoting the film given the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. But if the strike ends soon, now that the WGA has come to terms, the stars will be junketing, making it difficult for Warner Bros. and Wan to avoid Heard’s accusations that her role was significantly cut. At least two Heard scenes were cut from “Aquaman 2” — an action sequence that found Mera fighting Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and a love scene with Momoa — according to individuals familiar with the production. Other evidence of friction is hiding in plain sight. This summer, Momoa unfollowed Heard on Instagram. One source says he even blocked Heard from following him.
>Turmoil aside, the sequel might just work at the box office. The first “Aquaman” also was ho-hum in early testing and found its footing in postproduction. A studio source says “Aquaman 2” is following a similar trajectory. Early tracking shows strong interest and puts the film’s opening on par with the first “Aquaman.”
>“Everybody’s down on DC, but there is a chance, especially with the limited competition during the holiday season, that ‘Aquaman’ could still play like gangbusters because of lack of product,” says Jeff Bock, a box office analyst with Exhibitor Relations. “Sometimes the right film at the right time is all you need”.
>"Everybody's down on DC, but consider this: if no one else releases anything, we might win by default."
my bro i don't think that's rebuttal you think it is
No one at the studio cares about making a good movie, they just need something profitable so they can look good and keep their jobs another day.
>In fact, none of the stars cast by Zack Snyder for 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and 2017’s “Justice League” — including Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller and Momoa — will reprise their roles in the new DC universe in character. Momoa may return, just not as Aquaman.
