He signed a deal with Netflix for a live special around the same time as Dolemite. In late 2019 he was talking about how he was going to spend 2020 doing club shows to prepare for the special....then 2020 happened.

I can believe he produced a script they didn’t like...the scenario I just don’t see happening is him producing a script they don’t like, they throw out the script and bring in another writer to write the script from scratch without credit, but they keep Whedon on to direct the film.

Gone With The Wind was a prestige spectacle film that was made to be abit of an event, with an eye for awards as well as audience enjoyment.

I love the Marvel films but I find this idea that they make political thrillers/ Shakesperean dramas/ monster movies to be a stretch....they’re all action films.

The Hawkeye house stuff is from the second film though, not the first. (And I’d argue is some of the strongest parts of Age of Ultron.)

And by and large the films made directly for streamers that are made by established directors also get some form of theatrical release, because they consider that an essential part of the film experience.

He’s also got the Martin Scorsese World Cinema Project that champions international films, and there have been stories from directors like Edgar Wright where Marty would reach out and compliment their films. So it’s not just one letter.

I’m gonna have to challenge this abit, because one of my issues with tent-pole comic book movies is the general lack of diversity there has been. (Although it has improved in recent years.)

...He’s not opposed to new cinema? He sent Bong Joon Ho a letter praising Parasite after it’s Oscar win and asked him not to rest too long because he looking forward to seeing what Bong made next.

It kinda is though? Just look at the push back from all the filmmakers when Warner Bros announced that all their films would be doing the simultaneous release on HBO Max. I’d be shocked if you found a filmmaker who didn’t want their film to be shown in theaters.

The thing is- the Army of the Dead was a lot less of a deus ex machina in the books. They never came to Pelennor Fields, and their main involvement was helping to strike terror into the Corsair’s and providing Aragorn with an alternative path to Minas Tirith and an oppurutnity to recruit the men of Southern Gondor to…

She talked about the Connery thing at the AFI tribute awards to Connery and said that she had always had a crush on him so she felt no issue playing his love interest.

Not exactly: Smith had two specials that aired the same year as series 7b. (One was the 50th and one was the Christmas special/ his farewell.)

Man of Steel underperformed against the studio expectations. (Which it should be clarified were fairly unreasonable.)

The official quote was just that the investigation had completed and that remedial action had been taken. It was deliberately vague enough that we can’t really say the investigation found the allegations credible. (We can infer that, but it’s still very vague about how accurate the allegations were.)

I might not be getting all the details correct, but it went along the lines of this:

...See reading the interview and the quote I think that’s exactly what he’s musing about: a hypothetical dark Batman movie he would make.

It feels kinda appropriate that only a couple of days ago there was an article about Patty Jenkins saying that the characters in theatrical cut were almost unrecognizable...and today we find out that Batman is gonna say fuck in the Synder cut.

So Zack Snyder posting a photo implying that he had a completed directors cut is just semantics?
And while plenty of people knew that the finished Snyder cut did not exist, there was a sizeable chunk of the #releasethesnydercut group that claimed the film was finished.

I feel you’re misrepresenting his quotes about Batman as well slightly.
