Aecioo 08/03/22 12:19:56 AM #51:	There's rumors this was done for tax purposes. If they cancel a lot of this stuff they can recoup some of the money in tax returns and that makes more sense then trying to market an already inflated budget when they don't have the confidence it will make a profit. Once again, no substantial sources on this yet other than "industry sources" but it makes sense when you have a new lead in the studio trying to stop the bleeding. --- http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcb35gGx0t1qailr4o1_500.gif http://www.megavideo.com/?v=57N0YAEJ <cite>Aecioo posted [p:967031790] in Batgirl mo...

ChichiriMuyo 08/03/22 2:39:51 AM #53:	I think some of you guys are overestimating the phrase "basically done." Some of you even seem to think that it was done. It wasn't complete. The first take at it wasn't satisfactory and after reshoots they still didn't feel like they had a good enough project. There's no telling how much more it would have cost them to shovel it out and it probably wouldn't have been a good movie. If they could barely break even on Birds of Prey and they think this movie will do even worse with a similar budget then it's not worth putting another dime into. --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds <cite>ChichiriMuyo posted [p:967033368] in Batgirl mo...

swordz9 08/03/22 7:55:16 AM #57:	I feel like Flash and Aquaman 2 were delayed due to bad publicity with 2 of the stars more than anything else. Flash is something they need to work on or its probably going to bomb. People already disliked Millers Flash to begin with before all the crazy shit pulled over the last year or so. I honestly dont mind a DC cinematic reboot because a lot of their stuff wasnt too amazing, but I dont know if this is how I want it happening. HBO Max is seriously way better than anything Discovery has or could ever offer imo <cite>swordz9 posted [p:967036047] in Batgirl mo...

ChichiriMuyo 08/03/22 8:23:02 AM #58:	masterplum posted... You could still roll it out as is to HBO max Again... I think maybe some people are over estimating what "nearly done" might mean. It could still be millions of dollars away from them putting together an actually complete movie. Given how the Snyder Cut was nothing more than a temporary blip for HBO Max they probably don't see how that money could be well spent in that way. As is they can claim it as a tax loss, if they release it we're talking about 100 million they can't recover to promote a streaming service that won't have its numbers significantly moved by just one movie. I get that people think it sucks that this movie isn't going to be released, but from what we know as outsiders there's a fair chance that no amount of additional money spent makes it a good movie. --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds <cite>ChichiriMuyo posted [p:967036395] in Batgirl mo...

LinkMarioSamus 08/03/22 8:42:01 AM #59:	"Nearly done" in this case means post-production. The issue is that technically The Flash was delayed supposedly for post-production reasons. That's also the reason Top Gun: Maverick didn't make its originally planned 2019 release date. --- Why do people act like the left is the party of social justice crusaders? <cite>LinkMarioSamus posted [p:967036685] in Batgirl mo...

LightningStrikes 08/03/22 9:13:13 AM #60:	Yeah, the film had wrapped shooting and was months and months into post-production. It was due out this year, it had screened numerous times. Its a mid-budget film too so not going to be as VFX-heavy as the typical DC film. Obviously a lot of work to do but definitely too near the finish line to be cancelled in a normal situation. On the test screenings ViewerAnon (reliable source for this) said it was screening well enough: https://mobile.twitter.com/ViewerAnon/status/1554563543986585602?cxt=HHwWhIC-wdHT9ZIrAAAA They also have some other interesting info on the movie. Sounds like people were really liking Brendan Fraser as Firefly and JK Simmons as Gordon. A shame since this was going to be part of Frasers big comeback (he does have other projects now at least) and we got next to no Simmons Gordon in either Justice League. I think based on what we do know it probably would have been decent. No way it would have been Suicide Squad 1 bad. More than that it definitely supports the notion that it wasnt about this film, it was more about a broader refocusing of WB. Hence why they also cancelled the Scoob sequel that was also due out this year. Also, a massive tax write-off which I believe means they can never commercially release it. Frankly, Ill be shocked if Blue Beetle releases at all. I think theyre basically going to do to WBs current projects what Disney did to Foxs, except apparently even more severe. --- I just decided to change this sig.

LightningStrikes 08/03/22 9:48:30 AM #63:	It definitely sounds like Discovery wants to totally wipe the slate clean and start over focusing purely on blockbusters. Which will be terrible for the industry overall and might not even work for them. The thing is, a large part of WBs brand was that they were the creative-friendly studio. This also extended in theory to their DC stuff, after a false start with the whole BvS/Suicide Squad thing their pitch was that unlike Marvel their films would be director-driven. The most successful of them tended to be the ones where they let the creatives do their thing. I really dont think saying blockbusters only, also well happily cancel you after years of work is sending a great message to talent. --- I just decided to change this sig.

Yesmar_ 08/03/22 12:56:57 PM #81:	I'm also reading that HBO Max might get replaced and folded into Discovery+ with a focus on reality shows. Do they honestly think they can keep subscribers that way? The highest viewed shows on a streaming platform are not necessarily why people subscribe to the platform in the first place. How does a media executive not realize this? People enjoy vegging out to reality programming, but the specific programming is mostly irrelevant, so no one is going to sign up to a streaming service to get more of it. There's most likely sufficient programming in whatever service they already use. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest!
