Official Justice League Movie

[NinjaPug]

Terrible news about his daughter.

Really weird choice to go with Whedon as the replacement both as a writer and director. His style just doesn't mesh with what's come from Snyder's DCU before and what I assume is in JL. I feel like it'll be pretty apparent which scenes in the movie were rewritten and reshot by Whedon.

If the trailers were anything to go by, it looks like they were trying to be a little more Whedon-esque with tone and dialogue to begin with anyway. ("What's your superpower?" "I'm rich.")

My heart goes out to the Snyder family.

He said it best. "They're just movies."

Apparently his daughter died two months ago and he's only dropping out now because he didn't initially want to bother with the reactions of comic book fan manchildren. He never really gave himself time to heal.

No, he's only now dropping out because he thought at first that immersing himself in work would help him through the pain and loss.

Technically you are both right.

But man, does that suck. I feel for anyone who loses a family member to mental health issues.

True. That felt like something you'd hear in the Avengers.

“Here’s the thing, I never planned to make this public,” he says. “I thought it would just be in the family, a private matter, our private sorrow that we would deal with. When it became obvious that I need to take a break, I knew there would be narratives created on the internet. They’ll do what they do. The truth is … I’m past caring about that kind of thing now.”

Like Prophet said, ultimately it's a bit of both. As for not going public with the information sooner, I think it's because he didn't want to give 'ammo' to online losers.

Good grief. 3 whole months? That's pretty much how long the whole principal photography was.

Damn. I wonder if WB is thinking about pushing this movie to 2018.

Probably not. It's a pretty similar timeline to "Rogue One"'s MASSIVE reshoots vs. release date.

[CyberCubed]

It's pretty obvious the positive reception for Wonder Woman now has WB scared Justice League being bad will ruin their goodwill they got back now. If Justice League bombs or is bad then they're screwed again besides solo movies.

I also wonder if Joss Whedon taking over has something to do with this.

[ToTheNines]

Wow, that November release date is suddenly looking tight. They certainly don't want to compete with Star Wars in December/January, or Black Panther in Feb... anything after that is dangerously close to Infinity War.

Yikes.

looks like the reshoots might be wonder woman related

I'm sure one aspect of them is, though I don't immediately suspect this is reactionary because of the WW movie. No way they're just doing 3 months of new WW scenes.

It does make me smile to think that Joss Whedon finally gets to direct WW.

It probably is, but these people are paid to work quickly. VFX for The Hobbit (another movie with a colossally tight schedule) were finished mere days before the premiere. If WB wants it for November, a quality movie can be delivered by then even with reshoots. Not easy, but possible.

'Justice League': Danny Elfman to Compose Score

Superman, Batman and now…Elfman.

Danny Elfman is going to dole out the sweet sound of justice, coming on board to compose the score for Justice League, Warner Bros.’ all-star superhero extravaganza, THR has learned.

The hiring comes just as the additional photography, with Joss Whedon standing in for Zack Snyder, for the movie gets underway in London. Whedon is overseeing the new shoot and post-production work on League after Snyder stepped aside to deal with a family tragedy.

Snyder had been working with Antonius Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL, on the movie. Holkenborg, who scored Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and counts movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and Deadpool among his credits, is now moving on to Tomb Raider, according to sources.

Elfman has some familiarity with coming in late on projects and with working with Whedon. He was brought on board in the later stages of making Whedon’s 2015 superhero movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron, adding to the music already written by Brian Tyler.

Elfman is one of the big names in the movie music field, known for his long work with director Tim Burton, early comic book movies Batman and Batman Returns, among them. He also worked with Sam Raimi on Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, among the filmmaker’s other titles.

This year he worked on Fifty Shades Darker and The Circle.

WOW... so I guess Junkie XL's score has been discarded completely, huh? This is a big indication that this will not be as much of a Snyder film as it was originally intended to be.
