Bret Easton Ellis Says Ben Affleck’s ‘The Batman’ Has Script Problems But WB Don’t Care Because It’ll Make Money Anyway
>“I was having dinner with a couple of executives who know other executives who are working on the [forthcoming] Batman movie, ‘The Batman,’ ” Ellis said. “And they were just telling me that there are serious problems with the script. And that the executives I was having dinner with were complaining about people who work on the Batman movie. And they just said they went to the studio and they said, ‘Look, the script is … Here’s 30 things that are wrong with it that we can fix.’ And [the executives] said, ‘We don’t care. We don’t really care. The amount of money we’re going to make globally, I mean 70 percent of our audience is not going to be seeing this in English. And it doesn’t really matter, these things that you’re bringing up about the flaws of the script.’ So I do think global concerns play a big part in how movies, and what movies, are being made, obviously.”

Every capeshit script has problemewaoannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnjn araw
Christopher Sanders

Landon Rivera
did you just have a stroke?
Joseph Bell
>Bret Easton Ellis Yeah, let's believe that guy.
Brandon Brown
Kek
Lincoln Hernandez

Brandon Watson
>I mean 70 percent of our audience is not going to be seeing this in English
wow thanks for caring WB lmao
After seeing BVS I'm never paying for a WB or DC theatre experience again, but this is kinda shocking
Noah Johnson
He's an arrogant prick with a big mouth but I don't think he has a reputation for lying
Elijah White
>Batman vs Manboobs
Nathan Adams
Every DC movie since 2013 has been ruined by studio meddling why would anyone expect different of this new movie?
Evan Cox
>After seeing BVS I'm never paying for a WB or DC theatre experience again This.
Justin Ramirez
He really needs a bra.
Parker Sullivan
he doesn't give a fuck. he's literally our guy
Juan Perez
people lost their shit over a still image of deathstroke who is a B- villain at most and a glorified jobber who has a cool design.
its still gonna make billions
Jack Adams
WB know that people will still see the movie and do money just on the character. It explains why they don't really care to get the script right
Ethan Phillips
Dc needs a dedicated film studio. Having wb giving them shit is fucking up the proposed cinematic universe
Bentley Sullivan
did he say that in the recent podcast episode with mark duplass?
Ryder Lee
>he watched TDK, TDKR, and MoS >but BVS is such a terrible movie he'll never see another
Threadly reminder that The Dark Knight sucked absolute donkey balls
Nathaniel Thompson
This.
Its shitty how in the end, its the executives who decide if a movie will be good or bad. I WAS excited for batfleck movie, but even under his direction the movie will be hindered by the execs as soon as ben makes a decision that doesnt sit well with the head jews.
Ryder Foster
This. He's in agreement with Sup Forums on almost everything that matters.
Brandon Lee
might not like the guy but if there's somebody on Hollywood with no filter it's him
Michael Ross
>Threadly reminder that The Dark Knight sucked absolute donkey balls
dark knight is good.
Brandon Morales
Since when Sup Forums is in agreement with anything?
Jeremiah Brooks
>The Dark Knight yeah no
Oliver Perez
How does it feel to be a brainless drone. You can't tell me TDK was a good movie, but BvS was sooo bad you'll never see another. TDK is marginally better than BvS
Nicholas Young
If I were those executives I'd never have dinner with this Ellis faggot again Blabbermouth fuck
William Edwards
You're getting some you's because we're on Sup Forums but this is the weakest bait I've seen today
Dylan Wood
Exactly. This story is bullshit.
Colton Wright
It's kind of a good sign that a bunch of execs have a long list of things they would like to change but won't.
>Inb4 some contrarian post praising Hollywood suits and bashing directors.
Matthew Watson
>TDK is marginally better than BvS Better at what? Making me hate Batman. You're right. Nolan's Batman is terrible. He's terrible, his Gotham is terrible, his rouge's gallery is terrible. IDK how people who would otherwise fall asleep at Nolan movies pretend to like his TDK trilogy.
Nicholas Baker
Strokeposting is my new favourite memeeeeeeeeeeattttttyrruraw
Christian Bell
>capeshit >shit writing
wow stop the fucking presses the world needs to know this
Sebastian Brown
It's almost like Hollywood movies are not art they're commercial product made by committees and boards in order to maximize return on their investment not necessarily create a piece of media with depth and gravitas or quality.
Angel Perez
>people want to monkey up the script >won't let them how is that a bad thing
Parker Lopez
>in order to maximize return on their investment I just wanna see how many movies it takes to half-ass in the DCEU before they start flopping so hard they'll start caring about their "products", I fucking hope it's the next one already
Anthony Price
Bret's podcast is maximum comfy
Gavin Butler
you're a true pleb huh?
I figured capeshit fans on here were all baiters and falseflaggers but you actually think the Dark knight is a good movie
serious question. why don't you post on reddit
Michael Russell
How new are you? Are we talking minutes
Christian Sanders
>PEOPLE SHOULD POST HOW I WANT THEM TOO AND NOT INSULT ME!
James Foster
you're fifteen years old and you just discovered Sup Forums, how far off am I
Henry Cook
>rouge's gallery Is that an exhibition of different shades of red?
Jacob Roberts
I've been here longer than any capeshit fan
Jaxon Harris
...
Jonathan Rivera
It's literally like a sympathy meme. Everyone hyped the jokers performance to meme levels, then he died before the movie came out elevating the memoicity to levels we've never quite seen before
Nicholas Martinez
move along, nothing to see here
Brayden Gonzalez
>have millions of dollars >still don't get a quick surgery to fix the gyno >literally costs like 1 to 5k dollars
Luis Kelly
Ben has too much artistic merit and pride to direct a film with a script that he considers subpar. He's going to be 4/4 by the end of this year, his filmography is damn impressive already and it's going to be better - when Argo is your weak point, you know you got talent.
Blake Ortiz
These "people who can fix the script" usually work together with executives, and they "fix" the script by making it as neutered as possible to appeal to the widest possible audience. This is why Suicide Squad was rewritten / reshoot and turned out to be utter shit. Keeping Affleck's original vision might be for the best, fuck knows though
Dominic Adams
right? Suicide squad was never going to be good, not enough time to work the script and then WB panicked
