It’s not a “draft cut”. There was one cut, one that Ayer supervised. WB took all that away from him, got the marketing team that cut the trailer to recut and reshoot(yes, reshoot new scenes) based on the positive reaction to the trailer and their fear of another BvS reception.

I guess we won’t know unless it’s released, correct?

People saying the movie released are saying Suicide Squad has been released. Yes, it has. However, Suicide Squad: Ayer’s Cut hasn’t. It just feels like people arguing for arguments sake there. Two completely different products.

Movie preservation. Pure and simple. Are you familiar with what happened on Terry Gilliam’s Brazil? Terry Gilliam won that fight and his cut got released. Now, did the studio’s “Love Conquers All” cut get buried? It did, until Criterion added it as a supplement to their release.

Yes, movies get workprints, even multiple, but regarding final cut, that’s a broad generalization. Not true of every movie, not even true of all studio films(see Kubrick, Cameron, Tarantino, Coen Bros, etc).

Without a doubt, but he’s not the sell here. Ayer’s cut is, and if they want to bank on celebrity to sell it, Robbie is arguably at the biggest point of her career after Barbie.

Ayer’s cut was not. What is hard to understand about this?

Exactly! Not that this is a smoking gun, type of case, but testimony from the strangers could definitely frame that situation that would benefit either side. Also anyone that was at that party she was taken to, come to think of it.

When she finally got out of the vehicle, she left with strangers who promised to help get her a ride. She went with them to a birthday party, where she had some shots and bought her helpers champagne (per The Daily Beast).

Oh without a doubt, in fact it’s probably due more to residuals and who gets paid for what gets released more than anything as the reason for why they won’t release it.

I don’t know for sure, maybe that’s what Ayer is alluding to. He has shared stills of scenes not in the theatrical and has made mention of very little work needed to be done to release his cut.

Not saying they are entitled to it. Doesn’t mean they can’t be granted it. Like I said, do I care if Suicide Squad Director’s Cut, gets released? No, in fact, I probably won’t watch it, if it does.

That’s not my point. I’m not dying on the Suicide Squad hill. You even quoted me, without reading what I was saying. Any movie deserves to be released/preserved. Unless of course, it’s some illegal snuff movie.

But not every movie gets final cut taken away from the director. WB releasing Ayer’s cut doesn’t take anything away from that’s been released or will be released. On the same side of the token, no one is forcing anyone to watch Ayer’s cut if it is released.

Ayer’s cut wasn’t.

How is something going to be collected and archived if it’s not released, genius?

I don’t believe any movie should be buried and gone forever. Even if the movie is bad, it still deserves to be preserved for movie history.

GTA6 will have a hard time living up to the insanity of real-life Florida. Maybe a Saints Row game will come close. Right now, the trailer just plays like a tourism ad.

Um, the last Fallout game before Bethesda took over is literally called Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

It would be hilarious and on-brand if this was just to announce a remake of Kiss: Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child. Complete with battle passes and NFT’s, because Kiss.
