Justice League: Joss Whedon replaces Zack Snyder, good or bad news?

sivertime — Thu, 25 May 2017 14:08:55 +0000

Joss Whedon will replace Zack Snyder at the head of the Justice League. Good or bad news for the film? Melty answers this question!
Spectators learned a few days ago: Zack Snyder had to withdraw from Justice League, which would have connections with Wonder Woman , following his daughter’s suicide. A decision supposed that forced Warner to find a new director to take care of the post-production of the film and the many reshoots . The lucky one? Joss Whedon, filmmaker behind the future film adaptation of the adventures of Batgirl . But then is this good news for fans of DC Comics? A priori, yes. Joss Whedon is none other than the man behind the Avengers’ first and second film adventure.
Two productions that have had both commercial and critical success. But that’s not all as Joss Whedon has also scripted several X-Men comics and is a reference of geek culture in the world. He is the author of numerous cult series such as Firefly or Buffy vampires . Shows that have always managed to juggle several strong characters like those of the Justice League (a battle with Superman was teased) . In other words, for many Internet users, the choice is perfect. A choice that should allow Zack Snyder to take time for him and mourn the recent events. And you, what do you think of this choice?

Justice League: What future for the DC universe after Zack Snyder’s departure?

sivertime — Tue, 23 May 2017 18:29:13 +0000

Justice League will have to finish without Zack Snyder. But if it was the same for the future?
After replacing Zack Snyder by Joss Whedon for Justice League after a family drama , a lot of questions arise. Warner / DC’s upcoming film after Wonder Woman will not be overly impacted since the shooting is already over and Joss Whedon will mostly have to do a post production job. But what about the future of the DC film universe? For better or for worse, Zack Snyder remains the main architect of the project since its creation , and that its absence more or less prolonged could change quite a lot. It is extremely difficult to see him leave his baby totally but a withdrawal of medium-long duration is a possibility.
When it does not realize, it is either to the production or to the writing of other films DC Comics and this vacuum must be filled. We know already since last year that Geoff Johns, the creative director of DC Comics, is in charge of the construction of the DC film universe and it could well take an increasingly important place to fill the huge void left by Snyder. The real question here is whether the director’s absence will be felt in the coming years, even if it lasts only a few months, with a Geoff Johns who will have imposed his vision, because the Warner can not afford To fall behind on a schedule that is set to the nearest millimeter.
The other thing to consider is of course Joss Whedon, because he made two Avengers movies and he knows exactly how to build a superhero universe and create a credible and catchy group dynamic. But it is also known that the director was bored after his work at Marvel and so he might not want to invest beyond Justice League in building the DCEU, although Joss Whedon will handle the film on Batgirl . So it is the big unknown on this side but it would not be surprising to see the Warner courting the man to give him responsibilities to make the universe DC something as viable as that of Marvel. Do you think there will be change?

Justice League: Superman back on a new poster

sivertime — Mon, 24 Apr 2017 19:03:38 +0000

So far to absent subscribers, Superman is finally back on a new poster of Justice League. The team is now full.
Better late than never ! While Superman had clearly been confirmed to the Justice League cast , despite his death at the end of Batman vs Superman , the Kryptonian superhero was still not on the photos of the film or even in the trailers. Till today ! A new poster has indeed been published by DC Entertainment and guess who is pointing the tip of his nose? Superman, the one and only, incarnated by Henry Cavill ! He sits alongside the rest of the team, including Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg. Aligned, our superheroes all seem ready for the battle. Finally, the team is meeting full, seven months of the release of Justice League in our rooms obscure.
Unfortunately, this poster does not tell us more about the role of Superman in this new adventure. For now, all we know is that he will have a very big role in the film, whose absence and presence are key points of the plot, says director Zack Snyder in person . It remains to be seen how he could come back from the dead . Anyway, this first appearance of Superman in the promotion of the film is very exciting and we hope to find it again in the next trailers. In any case, if there is one thing we can be sure of, it’s that Justice League will be the most epic and we imagine that the return of Superman will be just as much, even if we have to wait the last minutes Of the film.

Justice League: How could Superman come back?

sivertime — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 16:22:57 +0000

Sure, Superman will be in Justice League. Now, it remains to know how and there are several theories in the matter! Here they are.
How could Superman come back? This is a question that everyone has been asking since it was clearly confirmed to the Justice League cast . Because yes, we still saw him die at the end of Batman vs Superman . In order to defeat Doomsday, the ugly monster created by Lex Luthor from the body of General Zod, the Kryptonian sacrificed himself by driving the Kryptonian blade through his body and that of Doomsday . An abyss instead of the heart, Superman looked dead and dead at the end of Batman vs Superman . And if, in reality, it was not and had passed in simple mode “hibernation” ? Yes, it sounds a little crazy, but not so much in the end since it is the arc adopted in comics. Basically, His body enters what can be called a kind of deep coma and only wakes up after he has had time to heal enough and to repair himself. As simple as hello! According to Cinemablend , scientists could thus seek to study the superhero with a fragment of his DNA and discover that he can not really die. And there, eureka! What if he was exposed to the sun to take his dose and regenerate? Here is a bright idea! Eureka! What if he was exposed to the sun to take his dose and regenerate? Here is a bright idea! Eureka! What if he was exposed to the sun to take his dose and regenerate? Here is a bright idea!
Otherwise, another way to get Superman back would be to use the journey in time . After all, is not that what Flash does, aka Ezra Miller , when it suddenly appears after a nightmare of Batman and warns him that “Lois Lane is the key” ? The superhero as fast as lightning could thus go back in time, just before the death of Superman, to save him. Or, more complex but why not, bring an earlier version of the Kryptonian superhero into the future. In the same genre, we also have multi-dimensional travel, which The Flash is also able to do. We would then have a completely different version of Superman, coming from a Earth-2, Earth-3 or even Krypton squarely, why not. But that, you are granted it, It’s a little far-fetched. Finally, with the new explosive trailer of Justice League , we have a new option to bring back Superman: the Mother Boxes . They have unlimited powers and, after all, they have transformed Victor into Cyborg. So why not use it to bring Superman back to life? And you what do you think ?

Justice League: What role for Commissioner Gordon (JK Simmons)?

sivertime — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 18:07:51 +0000

Jim Gordon will finally appear in the DCEU thanks to Justice League and JK Simmons. But what will be his role in the film? The actor confided in this subject.
Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad had it cool that they were full of characters coming straight from the universe of DC Comics. ” Obviously “, we will say. Except that suddenly, between the main heroes and villains, the Jimmy Olsen and Flash who make the cameos and the mentions to a certain Robin, some other important heads of the comics had to be sacrificed. As for example Jim Gordon, companion of regular misfortune of Batman of which it is almost inseparable . And yes, despite his importance in the adventures of the bat man, the brave and honest Gotham commissioner has not yet had the opportunity to show up in the DCEU. At least until now. Car Justice League, Whose heroes will not, a priori, all have right to their origin , should repair this error. But there too, the film aligns an impressive amount of characters, both main and secondary. In this whole mass, what could be the place and the role of Commissioner Gordon? JK Simmons, his interpreter, is still in the best position to answer.
In an interview for the site Screen Crush, the actor indeed entrusted himself a little bit about his role in Justice League . And fans of Jim Gordon may be a little disappointed by his words. According to him, his time spent on the screen should be reduced to the bare minimum ! JK Simmons said, ” My role in the movie coming out this fall is really very small, it’s a little introduction to the character .” Awwww , too bad! And at the same time, we had been a little prepared, considering what must happen in Justice League . However, JK Simmons prefers to remain optimistic. He hopes to be able to find Jim Gordon on the occasion of a future film of the DCEU , Whether it be the Justice League or even The Batman , that he knows to be in the works right now, even though he himself is not sure. He ended by saying, ” With a bit of luck, I might be able to rub this other comic character two, three or four times .” At melty, you cross your fingers to make your wish come true, if only because Jim Gordon represents an emblematic character of DC comics. Meanwhile, we know a little more about Darkseid’s place in Justice League – and he too should have a smaller role than we thought! Would you have preferred Jim Gordon to have a more important role? Which he knows to be in the works at the moment, even if he himself is not sure. He ended by saying, ” With a bit of luck, I might be able to rub this other comic character two, three or four times .” At melty, you cross your fingers to make your wish come true, if only because Jim Gordon represents an emblematic character of DC comics.

Justice League: A more deadly batmobile than ever

sivertime — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 18:11:42 +0000

The Batmobile has a new look for Justice League and it was Zack Snyder himself who unveiled it to fans of DC Comics!
DC Comics fans are looking forward to Justice League and for good reason: the movie will be the biggest super-heroic meeting of characters from a character-rich universe. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash … all will be ready to kick the buttocks of great villains who will threaten humanity (see more) … And while Zack Snyder unveiled a video of the Justice League Aquaman in Water , the director re-offends here with the Black Knight. This time, it is an image that allows to see the new look that will possess the famous vehicle of the hero : armed to the teeth! Some will like this change, others a little less.
The Batmobile has undergone many changes under the patch of many directors. Between Tim Burton, Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder, many ideas have been explored! It remains to be seen whether the next Batman, whose film has found a new director , will propose again a totally different Batmobile. Nothing surprising to see such changes taking place since the famous Black Knight must adapt to all situations. That is why a new tactical costume of the hero was unveiled several months ago. To discover this super-heroic meeting and especially the Batmobile, we will have to wait until the release of Justice League on November 17th. What do you think of this look?

In fact these films are coherent and one should not have doubted them

sivertime — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:39:38 +0000

Sometimes it is easy to laugh at the slightest opportunity. Too quickly, for we can miss explanations that are there, under our noses.
Who loves well chatises as well. So we will take refuge behind this (very practical) expression to find an excuse and present this in a positive way. Because, yes, we have already criticized a film by accusing it of incoherence when it was simply us who ration a detail , a justification, a logical element. Better late than never, we can do our mea culpa here and now.
Star Wars: the awakening of strength
Leia leads the resistance, but against whom? Against what ? The Empire was destroyed so there is no longer any opponent to resist. Whatever ! The new senators of the republic look up at Leia … For they do not believe in the existence of the First Order, composed of the few survivors of the Empire . But this one will grow, and Leia has done well to set up a private military group.
Mom I missed the plane
In the beginning, we are told that a tree fell and damaged the phone lines of the house where Kevin found himself. And we see her mother galley to join her, from Paris. Normal. Then we see Kevin ordering pizzas, tranquillou. WTF? In fact, the tree could very well have made impossible the long distance links without doing the same on the local calls. The operator AT & T confirmed it, it was totally possible with the functioning of the time.
Batman VS Superman: The Dawn of Justice
Superman is supposed to be able to hear everything, to perceive everything. So why does not he use his super power to hear his mother, know where Lex Luthor hid it? It’s true brothel, it is con or it is con! In fact, if he had tried, he would have heard everything. All. So all the murmurs of the city, the complaints of everyone … So finally, it would be inaudible. And he would become mad, disturbed by all his voices. This is in any case the explanation of director Zack Snyder, who claimed to have shot a scene like this but have deleted it.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Okay it’s funny and it moves, but why did they leave the mine in the wagon anyway? ‘ Frankly, was not it simpler? Well, no, actually. If one looks carefully , when the released kid gets through the area caressed by the lava, he does it on a wooden board . However, it catches fire before the others can use it as well. Hence the roller coaster after, in the wagon!
pulp Fiction
We all remember the scene where Vincent tells that a bastard scratched his case. Voluntarily. Shocked, he does not understand that anyone can do that. We think this is a dialogue like that, just to fix a funny scene . Now, when you put the scenes back in chronological order, you understand that it was Butch who avenged himself, after their rather tense meeting at the bar.
Pacific Rim
What do they expect from God? Without dismay, if Mako and Raleigh had used the sword earlier, the problem would have been settled much more quickly and easily. But no, wait until the last moment … Stop: no, it’s not just to shit and the movie lasts longer . There is a reason given during the television news: the blood of the monster is toxic and will contaminate the water of the ocean. This is designated by Kaiju Blue. Who had not taken good and well all the time?

Shooting and historical truth: small anecdotes about the movie “300”

sivertime — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 18:39:43 +0000

First information: yes, they were really in pants. Seriously, there are other nice things to know about this slap we took at the time.
Nearly ten years to the day. The film was released in France on March 21, 2007, and yeah! We had made an appointment in ten years, but better to be ahead than to be late. In short, to celebrate this, here are some anecdotes about the film of Zack Snyder, adapted from comic Frank Miller. Your next evening, you can do a little “Did you know?” Special 300, to tell you a little . If we do not lather ourselves, who is going to do it eh?
Normally, all Spartans wore a feathered helmet …
… And not only their leader, in this case King Leonidas, interpreted by Gerard Butler. Why should we depart from facts and history? Simply to make the protagonist easier to identify , especially during (many) combat scenes. So the director Zack Snyder found this technique as simple as it was effective. Come on, it’s a good reason.
The actors followed a sacred program to be also stock
Even if you’re part of the so-called sportsmen, typing your abs and, or, pumps every morning, going to run regularly, going on a bike ride on weekends, dropping, you’re away. The actors had to train four hours a day for seven months (6h even for Butler), under the direction of a physical trainer, without any day’s rest. And food level, misery … Michael Fassbender reported that he ate only almonds and fresh cheese curd.
Respect for land and animals
Okay, ok, I’m expanding the line but frankly, we can emphasize the efforts made . Instead of producing more kilos of plastic to create the weapons, the producers have recovered a good part of the films “Alexander” and “Troy”. As for the animals, no horse was injured or maltreated during the film.
From taf level costume, mine of nothing
One could have believed the opposite, to see the guys walking in panties and three times nothing on the body. Wrong! Leonidas owned 17 helmets , Xerxes 33 facial decorations, and overall, there was a team of more than 60 people who worked full time to create more than 600 costumes, necessary from the beginning to the end of the film.
An efficient shoot
In two months it was torched. But not like you and me when we do the dishes, eh. Not the quick done wrong. Did you see the end result? Clean . And all that in 60 days. This allowed to limit the costs and only clicked $ 69M. Another rare fact, the shooting was chronological, in the order of scenes and history.
The Spartan women really let go of this sentence …
“Come back with their shield .” Either, “Come back with their shield, or on yours” , in VF (I know you understand, I just have to do it, take it personally). This is the sentence pronounced by the Queen when Leonidas goes to confront the Persians , and it corresponds exactly to that of the Spartan women when they saw their husband and son going to fight. Basically, slash them and bring back their shield, or come back on yours. For the man killed with dignity in battle was brought back on his shield by his comrades.
Spartans are the real first hipsters
If you look good, only Astinos does not wear the beard. All the others are not shaved up close like him, completely beardless limit. And that’s normal, because shaving in the Spartans was a dishonor . Only an extreme case justified him: to be in mourning.
If your parents call you Ephialtes, it is because they do not love you too much
Just by referring to the film already, you are not super happy. To be compared to a hunchback with hardly engaging face, a scraping off, no thank you. And when you dig a little, you learn that it means “nightmare” . And in Greece, Ephialtes rhymes with traitor. Truthful. So, you want to see him again?

This work, Zack Snyder owes to the costume designer Michael Wilkinson, who had previously worked on Watchmen, 300, Man of Steel or Batman v Superman .
Michael Wilkinson said about this new reworked costume “It is really very close to the last while taking advantage of new technologies, new materials (now made from polyurethane instead of latex and foam) . In Justice League, where Jason Momoa (Aquaman) has revealed the person he prefers in the Team , the heroes will be able to expect new little additions on their different costumes . A choice on the part of the producers to allow the heroes to enjoy new techniques like Batman and his tactical behavior revealed several months ago. Justice League will be released on November 17th.
