Official: Superhero, Comic Book, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, etc... FILM THREAD

[Jr Mouse]

Yeah I've been hearing the rumors too that (all) the tattoos won't be in the final look for the Joker. Just for shock value and to celebrate the anniversary. If that's so, then they should make an official statement quick. Otherwise some people who don't realize they have already started filming will just assume they backtracked after the online backlash.

Not sure if this is true or not but this dude that supposedly works at WB says...

I hope you all know that that isn't the official look for Joker.

I'll find out soon What The Joker really looks like and when I do, oh y'all know I'll be dropping bombs!

And Snyder did tweet this...

Here's a thought. What if this is all a giant troll on fans? It's fitting for the character. Could be part of the overall viral marketing campaign. Break the forth wall and have the Joker mess with people till the film comes out.

Some Tech Asshole Pitched Sony On Turning Spider-Man Into an EDM Bro


Amy Pascal made some mistakes. Nobody is going to dispute that. But here’s at least one good decision she made: turning down some aging tech schmuck’s pitch to turn Spider-Man into an EDM-loving, Tough Mudder-participating, humblebragging shithead.

In November 2013, as spotted by a Twitter user named @DukeLovesYou, Pascal and Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton received an email from Nick Shore, an ex-MTV executive who now helps run a new Sony venture called Astronauts Wanted: No Experience Necessary, which aims to help Sony reach millennials via Vine or whatever.

So, what happens when a middle-aged one-time television executive tries to figure out what appeals to teens? Why, how about making Spider-Man really into working out and Skrillex, plus having “him” create a “very buzzworthy and cool” Snapchat “circle”?

Spidey thought

Hey Amy - just a couple of rando thoughts from 35,000 LAX-JFK:

- A rising trend we see with Millennials are the really extreme forms of experiential exercise like Tough Mudder (a sort of filthy triathalon), the Color Run and even things like Hot Power Yoga, veganism etc. Millennials will often post “N.B.D.” on their social media after doing it , as in No Big Deal, also known as the “humble brag”.....wondering if Spidey could get into that in some way....he’s super athletic, bendy, strong, intense....and it’s all NBD to him, of course.

- EDM (electronic dance music) is the defining music for Millennials. Wondering if there’s an EDM angle somewhere with Spidey? His movements are beautiful, would be awesome with a killer DJ behind it

- Snapchat just launched a “story” functionality, which is sort of “day in the life of me” told in a series of snapchats that expire after 24 hours. It has a very VIP quality about it, since invitation only. Getting invited into Spidey’s Snapchat circle would be huge, and very buzzworthy and cool.
This entire email is a great argument for moving up the retirement age to 35.​

Turns out Pascal forwarded this to Michael Lynton and added “LOVE THIS” but at some point, cooler heads prevailed. https://wikileaks.org/sony/emails/em...

Is it deplorable? Yes, BUT I can't even really fault him. Up until recently, studio heads never gave a flying **** what fans/nerds/readers, etc. wanted. I mean, just look at the stories being told about producers and head honchos in Hollywood. There was that famous story Kevin Smith told that had the head of Warner Bros. demanded that Superman fight a mechanical spider. It's all about the bottom line to them. Fortunately, things are starting to turn for the better with producers taking into account the feedback of the public via social media, buzz, etc.

 

[Jr Mouse]

"Spider-Man: The New Avenger" sounds like the title of one of those All-Ages comics Marvel puts out for little kids. Just awful.

 

[Neo_Version 7]

In fairness, the first Cap film was titled "Captain America: The First Avenger". But yeah, I personally don't associate Spidey as an Avenger. I don't care what Bendis says

That's gotta look worse than that Quicksilver pic that made it's rounds last year

 

[GraphicNovelty]

you mean the one people freaked out about but ended up being pretty good in the movie?

fanboys bitching about every detail when it's much more about the script and direction never ceases to amaze me. Man of Steel had amazing art direction but was hampered by a ****** script. Everyone complained about the casting choices of the Dark Knight but it turned out to be great.

Wahh wahh i don't like the movie title wahh wahh this concept art isn't good grow the **** up you children.

 

[Neo_Version 7]

You don't know much about comics or taste if you consider that version of Nightcrawler acceptable.

 

[GraphicNovelty]

Yes I don't know anything about comics or taste because my panties aren't in a twist about some promo shot.

Nightcrawler looks softer than Charmin in those pictures. Why Fox insists on putting out such horrible images for their character reveals boggles my mind.
