>>95022122
Robert Z last movie got decent reviews you mega pleb

>>95022111

All of them but 2 are passable senseless action movies.

But 2 was just so bad that it soured me on the franchise. Plus, how many passable retread of the same general shit are we gonna do?

It's like Dynasty Warriors or the latest Assassin's Creed. The same stuff. Not any bad/worse, but you've seen it before 9n the same style from the same folks.

>>95021291

Lord & Miller remained interested.

They just have NO interest in The Cereal Lords shitty canon, so they won't do the movie if Mr. Co-President insists on another adaptation of his stupid fan fiction.

>>Making a shitty movie whose only purpose is to retcon all the terrible decisions in your previous shitty movies
That's probably the reason for the lack of a director right now. The current script likely has massive restrictions due to its nature, so most decent directors sees that they couldn't work with it.

>>95022909
My estimation is that Flashpoint was chosen solely because it's a Flash story with Cyborg in it, and they're still trying to push Cyborg into the Flash Movie

>>95023072
this

also it can force in WW and aquaman

being a flashfag must be suffering right now

>>95022111
I only watched the first one, but if it's supposed to be enjoyed as an action movie, why are there so many boring, unfunny scenes with humans standing around talking and no Transformers?

>>95022111
Where did this meme come from that in order to be a decent action movie, all you need is nonstop action and explosions?

If
>turned it down once over scheduling conflicts but they're now willing to compromise to his time table
means what I think it means (that is, Zemeckis wants a longer production schedule, while WB wants their absurdly quick production schedules), then it might be good.

The central problem for any directors who can't lobby for a better time table is that 1) they're taking on a HUGE project that has to be done "quickly", 2) they're taking on the huge chunk of stress, 3) even if it's done quickly, they're going to have to be fully hands-on, so that will likely mean being away from their families for extended periods at fairly sudden notice, 4) even assuming WB doesn't flip flop over the movie's direction, there will be infetterence down the line, and 5) it'll be a black mark on the director's filmography, assuming it comes out bad.

If Zemeckis turns it down, Lord & Miller might be WB's best shot, as long as they give them full reign.

>>95023133
It means WB is willing to delay FLASHPOINT's production so Zemeckis can finish his work on Steve Carrell's next Oscar bait.

>>95023126
Literally Michael Bay
And maybe a little bit of die hard

>>95021291
>>95021304
So if neither Zemekis or Bay can do it, does this mean they'll just scrap it? Or just force some unknown director to do it?

>>95023576
They'll obviously keep searching until they find someone willing to do it.

I hear Josh Trank isn't up to anything these days...

>>95023237
Oh.

>getting the director of the most popular time traveling franchise for the time travel movie

Bold move, Cotton

>>95021291
Can't WB just give up of this Flashpoint bullshit? What a terrible idea.

This would only work if flash was the last justice league member to get a movie so you should at very least make Aquaman 1,Batman 1 and Cyborg 1 first.

>>95021304
I'd be OK with this, actually.

>>95025007
>Can't WB just give up of this Flashpoint bullshit?

Not as long as Johns is in charge.

>>95021291
Zemeckis would be a great pick for a Flash film but with how the production is going so far I get the feeling that WB have no idea what to do with the character.

The best option would be to just give a director free-reign to make a film about the character but WB is very hands-on with their production process. Which wouldn't be a problem if they had a clear vision for these films but they seem to change their minds about 10 times through every production.

>>95022111
I watched Transformers 4 the other day.

Nah man.

Nah.

the flash point movie is fine, id rather have a regular Flash origin type of film though

>>95021566
Geoff might've pushed it, actually. It could be like Justice League where he just wants his storyline to be the movie.

>>95023126

Because, Anon, they are poorly written films both as standalone features and as extensions of a greater cinematic universe. The people that give Wonderwoman good ratings are people who take a more casual look towards movies and are probably not as familiar with the fundamental concepts of film

>origin
Please no more origin stories.
They serve 2 purposes. Informing the audience how the protagonist's powers work and creating an emotional connection to the protagonist.
Flash isn't a super deep character. He's gotta-go-fast-man.
If you want to have a relationship or demonstrate how his powers work, you can do that without being bound to the constraints of an origin movie.
I think its actually lazy to do an origin movie.
You get automatic time padding and "writes itself" dialogue.
"I'm conflicted about my new powers" scene.
Scene where character has to leave home town.
"life will never be the same but I'm gonna make it work"

If you think about a movie like Fight Club or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, they both feature unusual characters in a strange version of our world, but they dont spend 45 minutes giving you sappy vignettes of Ma and Pa Thompson. We don't need to see Edward Norton struggling to fit in during high school.
Cut to an interesting challenge in the character's life.
Let the plot reveal the characters personality over the course of the film, instead of front loading it, leaving all the emotion drained and forgotten by the time we get to the final showdown.

>>95028954
>Flash isn't a super deep character. He's gotta-go-fast-man.
Wally is more deep than most superheroes but yeah Barry is pretty bland.

>>95023241
The Die Hard movies are fairly character-driven, actually.

I mean the good old ones, not the "Bruce Willis shaves his head and doesn't give a shit about life anymore "ones.

>>95028833
Wonder Woman was still better than anything MCU gave us since winter soldier.

>>95028594
>nonsensical

t. Brainlet

>>95029014
Except you're wrong. Marvel at it's worst is inoffensive. DC at its best is problematic. Just because Wonder Woman has more of a vision and a sense of mood than Marvel movies does not automatically make it a better film as it still lacks the basics of good film making. Just because you use a really impressive camera than the one they used in Citizen Kane and you have a better soundtrack than the one in Citizen Kane does not automatically mean your film is instinctively better than Citizen Kane

>>95029221
I disagree, Wonder Woman gave us more character development and a better supporting cast than any Marvel movie so far, Chris Pine was the only love interest from a superhero movie that didn't sucked, he was his own character and not the bland generic girlfriend like the ones you find in every MCU movie.

They explored well Diana learning about the reality of the world and human nature, is also a pretty fresh message since is also a critic against the concept that if you kill a bad guy everything is solved, Ares or the General dying didn't bring eternal peace to the world like Wonder Woman believed it would so she change her views and decide that the world will always need her help.

>>95029357
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MEANS NOTHING IF THERE IS NO STORY FOR IT TO EXIST IN

JUST BECAUSE YOUR PIECE OF SHIT FILM DELVES INTO DIFFERENT AREAS OF SCREENWRITING DOES NOT MEAN ITS GOOD. WONDER WOMAN IS A SPINELESS FLOP SUPPORTED ONLY BY THE MEANDERING ELEMENTS ITS SOULLESS STUDIO EXECUTIVES LEFT BEHIND DURING THE 50TH RECUT OF THE FILM

>>95023126

The Flash is not like Wonder Woman where it needs to be very unique to successfully appeal to a certain demographic. You can just hire Brett Ratner and it'll get a 50% on RT at worst.

Aquaman is definitely going to be out before this and Cyborg isn't going to get a movie, and BvS is where they re-introduced Batman, so Flash IS the last justice league member to get his solo.

>>95032707
Bay is objectively a good director.

All that remains to be seen is if the abundance of explosions will be enough to compensate the lack of sexy women for him.

>>95032707
>and learn from your mistakes and do it right this time

They're printing money, anon.

>>95032695
This was true back when it was a Flash movie. Now it's a stealth Justice League movie and they need someone who can handle that shit.

Plus trying to nab Zemeckis is an obvious attempt to earn some cred for the movie due to his prestige as a director and past experience with time travel adventures.

>>95021304

eh idk Sucker Punch was kinda bad, his Dawn of the Dead becomes subpar in the last act, and 300 is a bit overhyped.


his Superhero stuff has been pretty good though.

I was really interested in Famuyiwa's take, and I'm sure Raimi would do well also.

If the DCEU is supposed to be director driven, why wont they let a director fucking take the reigns??

At this point I bet a few of us from /co/ could direct the movie and do a great job at it

>>95032994
>This was true back when it was a Flash movie. Now it's a stealth Justice League movie and they need someone who can handle that shit.
Flashpoint as it currently stands, is borderline impossible to make. The two and a half hours allocated can't possibly fit Flash's background, alternate Diana, alternate world Waynes as Alt-Batman and Alt-Joker, and what ever other alt-Justice League members.

It is just a clusterfuck, too many stories, too many characters, and Warner would micromanage all of it.

WW turned out okay because Warner left the director to do her own thing. i don't see it happening with Flashpoint.

Why are people so gullible that they think Flashpoint is just going to retcon the entire DCEU? They're simply using the name because it's iconic and catchy.

>>95033301
Sucker Punch was a 9/10 for me but I haven't seen Dawn of the Dead or 300. They aren't my kind of movies.

>Barry's mentor, Detective Fred Chyre, is framed for the murder of an informant investigating corrupt cops connected to mobster Jack Monteleone. Barry attempts to prove his innocence with help from aspiring reporter Iris West and Chyre's partner Jared Morillo. Montelone hires Leonard Snart to eliminate Barry and Snart creates the cold gun when the Flash becomes involved.

>Iris is killed by Snart after learning that Morillo is the ringleader of the corrupt cops. Barry manages to travel one day into the past again to save her, arrest Snart and expose Morillo, proving Chyre's innocence. In doing so he realizes that someone altered time in the night that Nora was murdered and that his nightmares of a "red-eyed demon" are actually fractured memories, setting up a sequel.

>Featured characters include Snart's sister and partner-in-crime Lisa Snart, Jack Monteleone's brother Joey Monteleone and their enforcer Mick Rory, Captain David Singh and District Attorney Hunter Zolomon.

While I don't think you're completely wrong, Wally is one of the more well developed comic characters, especially ones with on goings.

>>95021304
This would be great. Say what you will about the Transformers movies I enjoy them but 99% of their problems come from the script and the over-designed robots. Take them away and Bay's Flashpoint could be GOAT.

>>95035415

Except his narrative bloat, 6th grade sense of humor, boring action scenes that go nowhere and terrible characters are things that follow in each one of his films. These are things that follow him to each movie, and he doesn't use the same writers every time.

I mean his best movie is a Die Hard knockoff set on Alcatraz, and that really only worked because of how insane the cast was.

>>95021291
Only if they recast Barry and Iris.

>>95035388
>At least Inhumans got quarantined to ABC.

>Why don't they do like Disney and just hire no names from tv shows and indie comedies no one watched so they can make the same movie over and over with different actors? Those guys will do as they say as long as they get to have a roof over their heads during production
The thing is the Disney formula require a head planner who oversees everything. If you hire TV directors who take orders, then you need central planning that is rock solid.
There is currently no central planning in DCEU after Snyder left. Snyder was DCEU's original linchpin but he ended up not being what Warner wanted.
I mean, they have Wonder Woman. Maybe Patty Jenkins can take over? I am not sure how much power she has at the moment.

>>95035840
According to Jenkins's herself, pretty much none outside of the Wonder Woman franchise.

>>95036888
>According to Jenkins's herself, pretty much none outside of the Wonder Woman franchise.
The thing is Snyder himself admit that he isn't a fan of DC comic stories. That was why he tried so hard to change everything to suit his own tastes. I still don't know why the complaint about Whedon all of a sudden. He is the best change Warner got.

>>95035840
Snyder may have been the original lynchpin but given that he was only chosen because he would make Man of Steel on a a deadline and with no major script rewrites it was really always the suits calling the shots.

>>95033692
>Flashpoint as it currently stands, is borderline impossible to make. The two and a half hours allocated can't possibly fit Flash's background, alternate Diana, alternate world Waynes as Alt-Batman and Alt-Joker, and what ever other alt-Justice League members.
And? BvS was Batman's background, Death of Superman, Introducing Diana, cameoing the Justice League, The Dark Knight Returns, Introducing Luthor, and building up the greater universe and Apokalips.
And if anyone says that didn't turn out fine we can just say they didn't understand it.

Flashpoint is like DC's Civil War, a shit, shit story which has somehow been memed into the cornerstone of the setting rather than being dumped into a shallow grave like it deserved.

Almost none of Wally's depth is derived from his origin, though. And there isn't enough room in a 2 hour movie for him to win the lottery, fritter away the winnings, and be set back on a heroic life path by Fidel Castro.
