>Recently, MTV snagged Reeves for a lengthy interview on its Happy Sad Confused podcast. The director talked at length about his approach to filmmaking and his tenure with Planet of the Apes before turning to Batman. While Reeves couldn't say much, he did confirm his take on The Batman will move away from the script Affleck and Geoff Johns penned.
>“No,” Reeves explained. “It’s a new story. It’s just starting again. I’m excited about it. I think it’s going to be really cool."
>Later, Reeves was also asked if he has approached anyone about casting for the project. MTV's Josh Horowitz specifically brought up Josh Gad's on-going teases about him playing the Penguin, but the director said nothing like that has happened. "No, no, no. The whole thing is just; Truly, I’ve not been doing anything other than working on Planet for the Apes," he explained.
>“Not only did I say this is the perspective where I want to come which is a personal perspective, but I also said this: I’m not free. I cannot start on this [right now]," Reeves said. I’m working on a movie I’ve been on for three years, and I’m certainly not going to drop the ball now."
>For now, it looks like Reeves is just starting to flesh out his plan for The Batman as he takes a break following his lengthy tenure with Planet of the Apes. There is no telling how The Batman may change moving forward, but fans have been quick to vocalize their most potent concern. Before Affleck exited the movie, Joe Manganiello was cast to play Deathstroke. If Reeves chooses to move away from the villain, then the actor may not get to suit up as the villain after all. And, for fans, the loss would be a hard one to accept at this point.

Not really. I'd rather have one of Batman's villains in a Batman movie.

How long until Affleck quits?

I'm betting once the contract is over they will have to recast Batman because Ben sure as hell won't be staying for this shit

I'm sure he's a busy guy and probably tired at the end of the day but all the interview footage where he just looks totally depressed makes me feel sad for the guy. You think he's dissatisfied with his portrayal, or the end product, or something like that?

Sad thing is, he's not method acting or anything. Ben's life is just crumbling around him.

It's just an excuse to shitpost about DC having problems. You know, like how Wonder Woman was "a mess" in production according to a *former* WB employee of course. Meanwhile The Mouse is going through directors and reshoots like toilet paper.

This board gets pants on head retarded anytime they read a Screenrant article.

All that I got out of this interview was "Matt Reeves is directing & will not be using Affleck's script." I don't exactly get why the Devin Faracis here are trying to push this negative spin here. Matt Reeves brings in money, why would you hire somebody who has a record for guaranteed box office success to work on a movie based on somebody else's script? You might as well not hired the guy at all if you were going to stick with Affleck's script.

and even if Affleck's script was shit: (we'll never know honestly) does it matter anymore?

Why are any of you pretending to be surprised? With Reeves, it was clear he was starting from scratch. The early director drama was probably also a product of him wanting do start over from scratch.
>>
>>93834000
>I don't see a problem. I really, really don't.
The reality is that Batman will be starting from scratch. I am not saying that is a problem in itself, in fact it is probably a good thing for the film to be delayed. Warner's problem is they are rushing, and anything that slow shit down is welcome. But people who want films to be done sooner than later have reason to complain about another delay like this.

Affleck Co wrote the script with Johns, so its confirmed to be shit.

It seems you are pretending to not remember The Batman's intended release window.
>>
>>93837421
I am honest to god not sure if Marvelfags know how movies work. BvS came out LAST YEAR and this movie is a follow up to it. Two years is not "development hell." That is normal film development. Unless of course you are willing to call Ant-man a flop since it took multiple years to come out and went through multiple directors, or are willing to say Black Panther will be bad because it went through did directors like fucking candy.

The fact of the matter is that in early production movies go through a lot of staff and early script treatments over a span of a few years; it's just that every time WB turns around fifteen articles have to be written talking about it. There is an abnormal amount of transparency regarding WB's DC movies and people with no brains are willfully misreading the situation.

How about some Manbat shit? They already did some CG work with something that looked like it, plus it might help better work Batman into the more supernatural world they're building if his first movie is a kind of horror angle thing.

>>93833550
how do you start over from a script that didn't exist

>>93833671
it depends

he's pay or play, but that works both ways: if the studio doesn't use him for contracted movies (ie if they use someone else in the role before he's finished his gig), they pay Affleck; if Affleck walks away, he pays the studio (an agreed penalty - buying himself out of his contract, basically)

but if he only signed up for... say three movies, he could be technically done to everybody's satisfaction after Justice League, because his cameo in Suicide Squad, while not really a leading role as usually defined, would generously be accepted as one by all parties - if he wants to leave, there's no point trying to keep him around with the state he and the movies are in

>>93833679
he never wrote it, he was always clear about that

Johns might have written something but there was no way in hell they'd ever have gone with a Johns original

Affleck had a big problem with people asking him about "The Batman" during his press tours for other movies late last year and early this and was pretty pissy about having to continually say "there's no script, no title" instead of talking about y'know the movies he was actually there to talk about

>>93833754
everybody knows when a movie is going to come out bad, you've got months of working on it, months of trying to figure out what you can do to fix it - and then in the end it's often down to chance, but he'd seen it at that stage and knew it was bad

he said he took the role of Batman because he's a fan and he wanted his son to see him as Batman, but then they made him the least Batman of all movie Batmen and had a borderline R-rated movie his infant son won't be able to watch for another decade

i'd say he was pretty resigned to a few years of shitty movies

Johns fucked up the script m8, at this point that it's pretty clear. He wanted batman earth one to be an influence, Ben probably wasn't happy about it and WB wasn't happy about shitting on its golden boy. Deathstroke role was must likely to thrash batman to the point of no return. We will never see the script, but if Ben distanced itself from it and wb didn't like it, and we are getting a page zero rewrite it means it was really bad. For the record you can't get a writing credit if you don't write at least a third if the script.


Pic related, notice the only batman book that Johns gave to the desthstroke actor.

watched all 3 of the new apes trilogy and the only one I'd say is great is the first. Rise (that's the second one with the dam, right?) was just a constant back and forth of "Caesar trust humans, humans do something to piss him off, he gets mad but begrudgingly decides to trust them again" for like the first half and then the second half was a pretty straight forward "evil lieutenant takes over" plot. The third one's entire plot is just fucking bonkers and way too much happens off screen.

>you can't get a writing credit if you don't write at least a third if the script.


That's not true. You can get a writing credit if your scenes are used. It's kind of a dick move to claim a credit for a movie you wrote one scene (or one line) for, so almost nobody does it.

The Apes movies are great, but i think it's mostly due to the apes novelty, how many movies can brag about having a bunch of monkeys looking more human than fucking James Franco? Because outside of that they're too dragged down by boring human subplots that go nowhere, and i haven't seen 3 but i have to say it worryingly reminds me of 2 too much (still gonna see it)

It's kinda like with Logan where the R-rating attracted more praise despite the overall movie being just The Wolverine all over again (which i have to say i didn't hate in the first place)
>>
>>93841749

I don't know, I think the first one did a legitimately amazing job of getting the audience to connect with Caesar as a character, and then the second and third kinda dropped the ball.

I'm also a bit butthurt that Franco's character just dies as a footnote between movies.

>Deathstroke wankery averted

Thank god.

Bullshit, you don't know what you are talking about. Credits in Hollywood are a fairly strict shit.

Well, it's been a while, but yeah, Caesar's journey is clearly the best part

>Also for the record this should make faggots that claim Snyder did nothing on wonder woman calm for a while.

But you can tell the exact parts where Snyder worked on Wonder Woman, it's where the film ends on a big gay CGI lightning fight and the dialogue shifts from fairly restrained and natural to "JOIN ME OR DIE DIANA!"

That stuff was all Zack "DO YOU BLEED" Snyder, because it's literally nothing like the rest of the film.
>>
>>93841936
>>93841973

"screenplay by" is't the same as being listed as a writer though.

In Wonder woman's case there's one "screenplay by" and 3 "story by" credits.

There's no way Allan Heinburg contributed 33% of the screenplay and then Snyder and Fuchs each contributed 50%.
>>
>>93837544
>rewatch it until you "get" it

That's called Brainwashing, dipshit

If a movie needs people to watch it multiple times just so people can find it decent, it's a bad movie
>>
>>93842092
That's why the word was credit
>>
>>93842208

what
>>
>>93842062
No, the ending wasn't Snyder at all, especially since he wanted the brits to be as bad as the Germans, the guy is a ww1 fanboy, the no man's land was his, its just 300+sucker punch
>>
>>93842062
That ending fight was way too coherent for Snyder. The lightning didn't even really get used till the big Kamehameha finish at the end.
>>
>>93842240
>300
You mean the movie where he made the bad guys even more comically evil by adding random monster-people and a rape? "I WILL DESTROY YOU" is perfectly in his field. Screaming was all Zod did

But putting this speculation aside, i don't understand the autism in trying to guess what parts were Snyder and what weren't. I've seen fanboys going as far as claiming he secretly directed all the best action scenes in the movie. All this is doing is undermining Patty's control and merits on the movie.

What's depressing about this is that we're basically getting a preview of how braibdead the JL discussions will be
>X scene was cool while Y scene wasn't, i bet our kinogod did that while the problems were all Whedon
Or viceversa of course
>>
>>93842549

According to >>93841936 a "story by" credit can mean you submitted a screenplay that was then subject to a page one rewrite. It's possible Snyder contributed very little. Since he didn't get a "screenplay by" credit we can conclude that whatever he did contribute is less than 50% of the total final screenplay.

So somewhere between "almost nothing" to "just shy of 50%" is what we can tell by the credits unless I misread something. Anything more specific than that is speculation.
>>
>>93842549
>>X scene was cool while Y scene wasn't, i bet our kinogod did that while the problems were all Whedon

just like Edgar Wright and Ant-Man
>>
>>93837741
This story arc was objectively terrible.

>>93842549
No you dumbass, he was talking about the No man's land scene that shares more than a few things with 300 and Sucker punch.
>>
>>93834573
He's doing a better Job than Snyder that's all

>>93844658
How?

Tell me how. Please. His script was rejected, cyborg is a huge blunder that ended up killing the flash movie.

Hey, anon

maybe try an actual source instead of wikipedia?

http://www.wga.org/uploadedFiles/writers_resources/credits/scpg10.pdf

>A “participating writer” is a writer who has participated in the writing of
the screenplay or a writer who has been employed by the Company on
the story and/or screenplay or a “professional writer” who has sold or
licensed literary material subject to the MBA. (See Article 1.B.1.b. of the
MBA for the definition of a “professional writer.”)

but see also

http://www.wga.org/uploadedfiles/writers_resources/contracts/MBA14.pdf

(the 2017 isn't up yet; it's not going to be substantially different in this regard)

>The Guild's historic, current and ongoing opposition is based upon beliefs and principles which include the following:

>Credits should, as far as possible, accurately reflect each individual's
contribution.

>The granting of a possessive credit to a person who has not both written and
directed a given motion picture inaccurately imputes sole or preeminent
authorship.

>The proliferation of the number of unnecessary credits on screen and in
advertising devalues credits in general.

>The widespread use of the credit denigrates the creative contributions of others

You also want to look at sections 9 and 11 of Article 1 (A - General) and all of Article 1 (B - Theatrical), which between them define who is and is not eligible; between that the the WGA Basic Agreement's statements of principle, you can understand why anything with more than one credited writer, or which has been worked on by multiple people even if the company isn't crediting more than one, goes to arbitration by a WGA panel.

If you write that one scene on which the rest of the script hangs, you're damned right you're getting a credit even if it's all that remains of your work; the likelihood is that you wouldn't. The truth is there's no open and shut argument here; just the balance of probability.

Yeah, johns' scripts for movies have been mediocre at best
Look at Curse of Shazam

>Affleck would rather drink himself to death than actually make the movie.

I think that this isn't going to happen for years.

I hope this shit doesn't get in his way of making more Ape kino.

It will also maybe force DC to get out of their comfort zone and start investing on other heroes besides Superman and Batman

Suicide Squad is miles better than any shitty Marvel cape shit. The characters are way better developed and have actual emotional depth
