when it comes to this lively competition that Marvel and DC find themselves in
I think we're moving further further away from publicity campaigns
and closer and closer to political campaigns complete what
empty promises! for instance Warner Brothers and DC
are you really going to make a Suicide Squad movie?
and I think Warner Brothers and DCU would answer "well we could make a Suicide Squad movie
you don't know!" and that's right we don't know we have no idea
how legitimate these conversations are. Do they have actual
plans for the future of the DC Cinematic Universe, or is this just a whim
that a production executive had or even worse a PR executive?!
now some might say hey grace I'm sure someone's typing this right now they're
saying grace
you're aiding and abetting this whole problem by making this very video
to which I would say don't hate the player - hate the game
and speaking at this game we find ourselves playing these days I have a
proposed rule
studios shouldn't be able to announce an upcoming film unless they have three
things: 1) a completed screenplay
2) a director attached and 3) a set
release date. That release date can change that, script can be rewritten
but those three things need to be in place I think before a film can legitimately be
called
in pre-production or in development before
it's really worth our attention and time. now this Suicide Squad movie has
one-and-a-half of those three things. It has a screenwriter attached
Justin marks has promised to write it or at least DC said
if we move forward with this you get the gig. And justin marks is actually someone
we've been talking about lately
because his star is on the rise after a long
quiet period after writing the street fighter, Street Fighter legend of Chun
Li
surprise surprise you have a quite period after that! he's suddenly a hot property in
hollywood
he's writing Disney's upcoming The Jungle Book their live action version of that
and then he's going to rewrite Top Gun 2
and apparently they expect he will be the final rewrite on that project and then
he's got dibs on the Suicide Squad movie at warner brothers and DC
should
they so choose to make it. now there's no release date but the reason this movie
has some heat and why this discussion has some people excited on Friday
is because it was announced that David Ayer is circling
the project. David Ayer as you most likely know him from training day
he is a very prolific screenwriter, I would, you know, some would say
the more pessimistic person would say he's one note and an optimistic person
would say
he has his own, David Ayer has a specialty
that's the right word, now one might say he's a specialist and he started making
his name from writing training day and now he's evolved into a writer-director
End of Watch was a big hit for him and now he's moved onto Fury
which is an awards contender now of course training day was as well but that
wasn't something David Ayer directed
so he certainly on the rise it's taking a little longer than it took Justin
marks
not quite the same burst of energy but
hey he's on the board for a comic book movie and these days
that's what it takes to be considered a big success at now I'm sure everybody is
going well wouldn't it be great
Suicide Squad and looking at the level of training day
it was the level end of watch it would be pretty awesome
and I agree by the everybody's forgetting the potential worst-case
scenario
and that's this thing turns out like sabotage that's the Arnold
Schwarzenegger movie based on Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians
where David which date David Ayer wrote directed about
team I love government operatives there are just
this close to being okay and not being criminals they walk that fine line
does that sound million to you a group hardened criminals are semi criminals
who
are you know so far gone potentially are gonna work for the government doing
off-the-record you know missions ur missions are too dangerous
Center its suicide squad and that's what scares me because sabotaging the worst
movies I've
ever seen and I was it poorly made but every single character in it
was despicable disgusting any horrible word you can take out
it would apply to these characters and you know
I really i'm concerned. the David air doesn't have you know
good judgment to know when to pull back on depicting is really questionable
people and I don't think he has what it takes to make them some money you could
potentially room for especially
if you're not a downer comic book fan if you just your average moviegoing
on mainstream movie going percent how are you going to get that person to root
for
I team up criminals who do kill it's a very tall order it's a difficult thing
to pull off
and I don't think David air can do it based largely on sabotage now also be
really notice was the lone female member that team
and while the actress did his best she could material she was given
her character was particularly appalling
very poorly portrayed I believe it's the only time
David air has portrayed a female character who was you know
parted the group you know usually it's a girlfriend or something like that
on so I get very worried particular about how you handle Harley Quinn make
no mistake
this will be a Harley Quinn movie Harley Quinn is why the suicide squads popular
again
I think rightly so I think she's very well matched with the team
it's been a way for her to come into her own be removed from the Joker's care
I think it's very effective I and I think the Suicide Squad movie by the way
has the potential to be very day but
everything has to be just right it so crucial because this fine line it's
walking with the
team killers it's basically like a natural born chillers
and making them work for the government but they're still Mikey and Mallory
you know it's still the characters that *** Harrelson and I'm
oh I can't leave I Juliette Lewis portray
exactly the same just is horrible only now you're supposed to return because
the government's behind them
it's a really hard day to do it requires the right actors
and the right deft touch with the people behind the camera I don't think David
Ayer
as a deft touch at all I'm I question just marks touch as well
up nine games I we haven't released any was work outside
Street Fighter the legend of Chun Li so I also indenture by the way could be a
big
a break character from this film if it gets made
so Harley Quinn danger and the other day person I think of course up to actually
be a is Amanda Waller am very curious in the direction you want to see her go
said there's about argument to be made for both are incarnations
one ish is the kingpin ask Amanda Waller which is the traditional
she and then there's this know why she's been reimagined for the new 52
where she's kinda like Kerry Washington's care
character on skin I could see that working very effectively as well
so curious which direction you want to see while ago
now the other thing I want talk about briefly is that we now find ourselves in
a race with this kind of movie and pour Sony
they just can't catch a break these days how well they look like just before the
amazing spider-man 2 cannot look like they were
had this whole Cinematic Universe think figured out now they're just totally
lost
are they had to push of amazing spider-man 3 because to didn't perform
as expected
I now looks like sinister sex which they're really
putting all your eggs in that basket I into that basket villains
I it's going to be coached by I DC with the Suicide Squad
movie potentially so now cool get to the screen for solar names or even so
similar honestly believe
your average typical moviegoer who isn't into this kind of stuff is gonna be like
to just watch a Suicide Squad movie in Dublin know that was the sister sex
archive a friend to do it like the edge
totally different and information on how to greet like
sinister six suicide squads and this book criminals who are heroes kind of me
we don't know how to do sinister six but their release afternoon
a similar also let's not forget x worse over
Fox that's been in development as the might recall no release date was given
for it but I did have a writer director so again
a waste a minute announcement where's that movie so where
so is the sinister six then what what made eyes
DC decide important this I think not I think the two things may decide to
afford
with this a property are one gardens the Galaxy
very be here obviously as we all know number one performing movie
year domestically it's about a bunch of criminals to become heroes now I would
like to point out
to both Sony I and at warner brothers
even Fox according to the Galaxy are like really like
minimum-security criminals there there
I mean we're supposed to be assessed but that was it wasn't anything that was
clean up on in the movie
are they don't they don't kill they don't they just they're like just not
you can what they were like Robin Hood's and I think that's an important
distinction
I'll that they have to pay attention to assist success factor in the
acceptability factor
with your mainstream audience going to nazi war criminals largely in name
only I think they were a holes was the better a hose but not
but not the D word exact star Lord so
I think eloquently put it and I think that when you come to sinister 6
Suicide Squad and x-force there the D word
cash so I'm curious what you guys think about how this is going to work moving
forward
only other thing the thing that was the inspiration course how could I forget
is the current animated film batman assault on our comps extremely good
animated film
focuses on the Suicide Squad actually pulled from the video game
I hit universe very popular batman arkham video games
it axle animated movie I highly recommend you watch it and I'm sure
that the suit water bodies have seen it and helped lead to this
I moving forward and I'm sure they send it to David Aaron ask if you wanted to
take on the project
and it's a great great I animated film great picture for liquid
and did Jackson there while earning I really think it's what you're going to
see when it gets
the big screen and speaking a ban on assault Arkham issue just hire that guy
to write the script and forget just marks because he did a very
good job i right thank you so much for tuning into my thoughts on this are
suicide squad movie
write your own download thank you so much for watching you can check it's
more episodes
right now
