Nomis is... finished. I can’t thank my amazing post team enough. What an amazing journey, 1000 times harder than I thought it would be but so so worth it. To the lonely nights writing it, to the freezing tundra filming it. To everyone who has touched this production, be it my incredible cast and crew, to first time interns exploring film production thank you. ...

Shazam filmed from 1/29 – 5/11, 2018. I think the only school breaks or holidays in Toronto in that period were: – Spring Break 3/12 – 3/16 – Good Friday 3/30 – Easter 4/2

They won’t film on Christian Holidays? And they need more than just 4 days (incl. the weekend). So that leaves spring break. That’s 9 days (incl. 2 weekends).

I remember thinking the scheduling conflic was BS, because HC didn’t have anything after MI6. Now we have two scheduling conflicts. Shazam’s spring break shoot clashed with MI6 and its reshoot with TW. Talk about bad luck. The cameo was shot in March, because there was no school break in November. The next break was Christmas, but they were done by then.

The insurance company had to pay the cast so they wouldn’t take another job while TC was recovering from his injury and since they couldn’t take other jobs as shooting took longer because of TC’s injury.

I had to read the italic part a couple of times. English can be tricky. That said, Paramount didn’t let HC shave. You can bet they wouldn’t let him take another job. Is not unreasonable. Paramount was dealing with a huge delay.

BTW, they hate GG because of the Isreal vs Palestine conflict, as if she should be blamed for that.

I stand corrected. It appears that the Israel vs Palestine conflict is not the only reason people dislike GG.

Gal, who never projected herself as a feminist prior to Wonder Woman's success, suddenly found herself as an influencer of pop culture. And it is safe to say that she cashed in on the popularity of her on-screen role. To be sure, the Israeli actress didn't distinguish herself from Wonder Woman.

A quick scan of recent events brings to mind her refusal to act in Wonder Woman's sequel, especially after sexual harassment allegations against Brett Ratner emerged. Her decision to back out of the film resulted from his company RatPac-Dune Entertainment's longstanding collaboration with Warner Bros, which produced Wonder Woman. Interestingly, even as Gal took a strong stance against the disgraced director, Warner Bros said in a statement that they cut ties with him long before the actress voiced her anger.

During the same time, she wrote in an Instagram post, "Bullying and sexual harassment is unacceptable. I stand by all the courageous women confronting their fears and speaking out. We are all united in this time of change." Ironically, however, an unnamed source, who once shared a flat with the actress in Italy, wrote in a lengthy blog post that Gal shamed her after she was raped by one of the actress's friends.

The blog post read, "Gal pointed her finger in my face like a weapon. She asked me how I could do this... She made me feel ashamed, that the whole event had been my fault, and that I had brought it upon myself by being so naïve." The blog, which appeared on Medium, was received with radio silence from Gal's camp. The silence was deafening, especially from an actress who spent the better part of 2017 inspiring women to accept themselves.

https://meaww.com/gal-gadot-wonder-woman-as-a-feminist-icon

"If these events did not happen then it is very easy for Gadot or a member of her team to come forward and discredit them by providing history for her whereabouts or an account of what actually took place during that time. Instead there is radio silence, as if these allegations do not matter," she writes.

It appears that GG is not as innocent as she looks either.

A former Israeli soldier, Gadot publicly supported Israel's bombing of Gaza in 2014, which left more than 1,400 Palestinian civilians dead – including hundreds of women and children. During the conflict, the Zionist actress actually posted a photo of herself and her child praying in support of the Israeli troops.

Just tricky? Is hell. But keep it simple by using present and past simple. grin

You won’t like this, but TC was a little nazi too. The HALO jump took longer than planned. So more delay, more pressure. Many things had to be done simultaneously. TC was unable to let go. So he used Skype and WhatsApp to micro manage things. He Wanted everybody to be available 24/7. He demanded everybody to forget about breaks and eat protein bars and drink Whey shakes. But to soften the Nazi bite, your future hubby is a delight when he’s not under pressure.

But during an interview after the movie came out, Brad said that he was "miserable" during the entire filming and that Tom being there certainly didn't help.

“He bugged me,” Pitt said at the time. “There came a point during filming when I started really resenting him.”

“He’s North Pole, I’m South,” continued Pitt. “He’s always coming at you with a handshake, whereas I may bump into you. There was this underlying competition that got in the way of any real conversation.”

I stand corrected. It appears that the Israel vs Palestine conflict is not the only reason people dislike GG.

At least you admit when you’re wrong about something. Some would rather keep reporting lies or conjectures as fact. Those geeks are just trolls. They know they’re wrong, but they keep using the IvP thing anyway because they know that annoys the GG fans and Jews. It seems like hating celebs and annoying fans bring pleasure to their pitiful lives. The GG fans or Jews should just ignore them.

Those articles were posted on the SHM board some time ago. Nothing is fact, but team WW should be worried. This can be blown out of proportion when the promo for WW84 start. Some people like to spread lies and conjectures as fact. And WW can’t have this kind of thing surrounding her. She has some serious competition now and the competition doesn’t show skin and isn’t clinging to a man. It took the competition (CM) only 28 days to gross $1,005,951,563 while WW had to struggle 161 days to gross $821,847,012.

There should have been one scheduling conflict. I can’t believe how difficult it is to film at a school. They couldn’t film at night? Okay, maybe they have night classes. What about a weekend? Is there a rule that prevents cast and crew from working in the weekend? How much does it cost to build a lunchroom or transform a lunchroom into a school lunchroom?

Paramount didn’t let HC shave. You can bet they wouldn’t let him take another job. Is not unreasonable, Paramount was dealing with a huge delay.

Paramount can be very difficult. McQ accepted WB’s proposal to pay to shut down production on MI6 and the bill to digitally fill in HC’s stache, but the executives from Paramount said no. And if HC was busy with MI6, that means he had his stupid stache. Originally, SM sat down and had a little talk. Was WB really willing to digitally remove HC’s stache again? lol That’s why I want to know when the cameo talk happened. It had to be before the spring break, because they knew he wasn’t available when the school was closed.

@Sue-Yin said:

You mean, it couldn’t have been about Shazam’s principal photography, because they could have talked about Shazam’s additional photography.

The Jews on the GG board are quick to call people anti Semitic. They should stop doing that and ignore the trolls. More attention you give trolls, the nastier they will get. They’re willing to work overtime. lol

And now Blue-Rose brought them here. I guess I shouldn’t worry about WW’s BO. CM is a success and trolls trashed it before it came out. It got so out of hand that RT had to change the comment section.

We are disabling the comment function prior to a movie’s release date. Unfortunately, we have seen an uptick in non-constructive input, sometimes bordering on trolling, which we believe is a disservice to our general readership. We have decided that turning off this feature for now is the best course of action. Don’t worry though, fans will still get to have their say: Once a movie is released, audiences can leave a user rating and comments as they always have.

What an idiot. And people think my TC is a diva.

That’s what you do when hating, trolling or create drama is your agenda. I’ll follow from the sideline. relaxed

No, didn’t see it there. I don’t really read the SHM board. It can be chaotic over there. Too many posters. I just follow the HC, TC and JM board.

You might be onto something. It's possible that HC wanted to do the cameo, but WB didn't want to pay to digitally remove his beard again. WB wanted to keep Shazam's PB as low as possible. Removing HC’s beard digitally or building a lunchroom after the spring break sounds expensive for a cameo.

And now Blue-Rose brought them here.

Relax. There’s nobody here. This place is a graveyard.

Well, haters post the most. You need an outlet, when you have so much anger and frustration. But venting hate in everyday life can get you into real trouble. That’s why they do it online. They screwed up IMDB and now RT. Soon they won’t have any major website to vent on.

Anyway, they did the same to BP and it turned out the #1 MCU film in the USA and #4 worldwide. Whoa, that must hurt. rofl

Many expected JL to leave, but nothing is official yet. I liked him, but he wasn’t a fan fave. Rumor has it that he doesn’t get along with JG. I think he’s starring in a Spider-Man spinoff too.

This is why you should read SHM a little. JL is promoting his band and the vampire Morbius from the Spider-Man spinoff. He is looking freaking hot.

DG is HC’s manager and Shazam’s exec producer.

Is she still Shazam's exec prod? She loves to # manager, producer and things like that, but she didn’t this time.

https://twitter.com/SevenBucksProd/status/1115309019483107328

She didn’t post anything about Shazam on her IG and Twitter either.

I don’t really read the SHM board. It can be chaotic over there.

It is, but the geeks post good information about super hero films there. I don’t have to look it up myself. Right now, I’m curious about Helllboy. I thought it would do better than Shazam. The geeks think it’s good.

But you should check out the SMvSha thread. It’s funny. It seems like ZL added oil to the fire. lol

Zachary Levi Wants Shazam To Fight Henry Cavill’s Superman

“I’m pretty proud to play maybe the only character in all of comic book lore, anything in the DCEU… who could legitimately beat Superman and I’m looking forward to one day maybe getting to fight Henry Cavill. I think that would be freakin’ awesome.”

https://heroichollywood.com/shazam-zachary-levi-henry-cavill-superman/

I’m team SM. ZL is so full of it. lol When HC congrats him, he should let him know that nobody can beat SM in the DCEU. lol

WB wanted to keep Shazam's PB as low as possible.

It took them three films to realize that the PB should be as low as possible. MOS, BvS and JL were too expensive.

Good question. Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer. DG and DJ were called exec prod in articles around the time people thought cameo talks happened. But it turned out people were wrong about when the cameo talks happened too. Many, including me, thought April when HC was in LA. But it turned out talks happened before the Toronto school break in March. So who knows if DG really was an exec prod.

I’m curious about Helllboy. I thought it would do better than Shazam.

Why? HB is R and Shazam is PG-13.

HC was very creative with water. Let’s see if he can be as creative with lightning. thinking

I don’t want you to worry, but they’re also on the SHM, PMP and JM board.

I guess I shouldn’t worry about WW’s BO. CM is a success and trolls trashed it before it came out.

WW came out before #metoo and #timesup. Those movements have changed a few things. CM fits perfectly in the current #metoo, #timesup, #modelsofallsizes, #nomorebodyshaming, #girlpower, #modernfeminists, #womenarenotsexobjects, #genderequality bubble. The clingy thing that WW has going with ST doesn’t fit in that bubble. Her skimpy costume and fake boobs don’t fit in there either.

So I’m a little worried about WW84. Nobody thought a film with SM, BM and WW could flop. Nobody thought a second Star Wars spinoff or a Transformers sequel could flop. But they did. Even the last Star Wars and Jurassic World made way less than the one before them. So don’t get cocky. Don’t take unnecessary risks (like ZS did with MOS, BvS and JL) but try to fit in the current bubble. And address scandals timely and properly.

This is why you should read SHM a little. JL is promoting his band and the vampire Morbius from the Spider-Man spinoff. He is looking freaking hot.

WB gave ZS unlimited resources to create two abominations (BvS and JL) and one so-so film (MOS). Now they’re cheaper than cheap. Poor JW had to be beyond creative with the limited budget that he had for his CGI heavy film, because WB didn’t believe in AM. WB didn’t believe in Shazam either. So they weren’t going to spend extra money on removing or building anything.

WB executives had the stupid notion that BM was the only BO draw in the DC-verse. But BM didn’t save BvS or JL. But out of the blue, like WW, AM turned out a huge hit. Shazam hasn’t made 3 x $100 mil yet, but I’m positive it will.

Good question. Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer. DG and DJ were called exec prod in articles around the time people thought cameo talks happened.

Maybe WB fired her. Rumor has it that she was too demanding. She wanted too much money for HC’s cameo. She also resorted to weird tax and accounting constructions to administer pressure on WB. But it backfired. laughing

Why? HB is R and Shazam is PG-13.

Also, HB’s $50 mil PB vs Shazam’s $100 mil PB.

I’m team SM. ZL is so full of it. lol

Really? I’m team SM should not fight Shazam. Geeks keep forgetting that Shazam is a kid.

HC was very creative with water. Let’s see if he can be as creative with lightning.

I don’t like the sound of that. Was ZL creative with water? JM sure wasn’t creative at all.

Tbh, CM was boring. Origin stories always bore me. But WW was better than CM. WW was bearable till ST was introduced. To me, their relationship only reinforces the stupid image that already exist of women. CM doesn’t do that. I like that her film is about her. It is boring, but it is about her. I also like her costume. It’s sexy but practical. She shows curves, not skin. Why would a woman wear a bustier with a mini skirt to a fight?

She also resorted to weird tax and accounting constructions to administer pressure on WB. But it backfired. laughing

Last time I heard, DG’s bargaining chips were fans excitement about SM’s return in JL, MI6’s success, Netflix TW proposal and DJ’s success. Believe me, I thought those were crazy. Now I should add tax and accounting constructions (??) to the list? Sounds like a white-collar crime. rofl

No. He didn’t say anything about AM. Maybe next time he will.

Is kind of the same stuff. Is love. Is fake. Is a plane. DG is looking for a gf for HC. HC is looking for a beard. The girl is ugly. The girl is a fame junkie. Creative theories. Convincing theories. Far-fetched theories. I love them all. Milk shake may bring the boys to the yard, but drama brings the girls to the board and she knows it.

Well, hate pages and (DG-)looking-for-beard claims aint bringing the girls to the board anymore. Now stories about stalkers and fantasists do that. Haters constantly claim someone is a stalker or fantasist. Everybody is in suspense bc the haters are always waiting for confirmation. Then the haters either make up stories about people doing things or they start bashing random girls. A few pics of HC on your IG/FB and you’re a stalker or fantasist. rofl

o The latest gossip is that two girls are preparing for Durrell. The girls claim HC asked them. The identity of the girls will be revealed after the intell is confirmed. I bet confirmation will arrive after the challenge. Some random female participant with several HC pics on her IG/FB will be the victim. Next the haters will predict HC is looking for a beard and we all will be waiting for confirmation again. o

WB had no problem letting major stars like WS and BA go. So why would a major studio keep beating around the bush to fire an easily replaceable minor star like HC?

Easily replaceable minor star, huh? rofl I must come up with a name for TC.

Anyway, they did the same to BP and it turned out the #1 MCU film in the USA and #4 worldwide. Whoa, that must hurt. rofl

clap champagne_glass

I know. Later we learned that LHS knew in April that HC was her G.

LHS? I didn’t know he was involved in TW. I would be rich if I get a dollar each time people get that wrong. I get it wrong too. stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye

LSH tweeted that September 4th. That puts the meeting in May. Could have been an honest mistake or consciously done. Either way, HC had a successful LA trip in April. LSH lives in LA and Netflix is based in California.

@Cashmere said:

Misogynist? Trolling for attention? Their mothers didn’t love them? The gf cheated on them or left them? They can’t fine a gf?

Some of them just want the SHM board to be a sausage fest. Ignore them. The SHM board has good stuff.

The first rumor started right after HC trolled ZL’s IG. Fans excitement shifted from SMvBA to SMvShazam. The other rumor started right after McQ said that he and HC discussed MOS 2 ideas on the set of MI6. McQ also said that he’d direct the film if HC asked him. Well reason for fans to expect HC’s production company to produce MOS 2 with McQ credited as writer, director and maybe producer (same credits he has for MI6).

Can’t you girls get anything right? Don’t you keep up with the geeks? You forgot a few things. Rumors started with JL. Fans were happy with HC's depiction of SM in JL. So rumors started about SM’s role in the DCEU. Geeks suggested a role like MCU’s Nick Fury. That means that SM will appear in the films of other heroes too.

In February geeks started the rumor that the kids who interviewed SM in JL were BB and his friends. According to them, that scene was added in reshoot (HC’s face was CGI-ed) to link Shazam to the DCEU and to make an SM cameo possible.

In March it was said that SM, BM and WW would make a cameo in Shazam. Soon after it was revealed that they made a cameo as plushies in a toy store. Of course SM and HC fans kept hoping the real SM would make a cameo too.

In April HC made a little trip to LA. Geeks assumed his trip was about MOS 2 bc he wrote about “story telling dream” in his post. They were happy that his trip was “successful” too. Btw, HC didn’t call his trip successful to patch things up bc he said that way before any reports about talks failing.

Mid April HC trolled ZL. Geeks assumed that was his way of confirming a Shazam cameo. But Shazam was already filming. HC either already did the cameo or his LA trip was to talk about a last minute cameo. Now we know the cameo talk should be placed before the spring break.

End April McQ broke the internet. Well, the part where comic geeks hang out. The “story telling dream” in HC’s post suddenly made sense again. HC’s trip had to be about MOS 2 and he said it was “successful” too. So imagine how shocking it was when HC announced his leading role in TW instead of a MOS sequel. Geeks explanation for that was MOS negotiations failed. TW was plan B.

relieved

@Blue-Rose said:

Don’t worry. DJ called it our Shazam on his IG. He also announced something about BA. I thought the geeks were just guessing or hoping. So I scrolled through the posts and missed the vid.

Geeks were really vicious about Shazam’s costume. They said the film looks cheesy. I thought it would be too PG-13 for me. lol

WW’s armor and weapons were not made by mortals.

Last time I heard, DG’s bargaining chips were fans excitement about SM’s return in JL, MI6’s success, Netflix TW proposal and DJ’s success. Believe me, I thought those were crazy.

Fans were crazy for a DS, an HQ and a BA film too. Where are they? Only HQ got hers and that had to do with WW’s success. Even so, her film was on hold for awhile too. BA will start filming in a year or so. But it seems like WB was waiting for Shazam’s BO numbers first. Why? Don’t they believe in DJ? Well, they didn’t believe in WS and now he’s gone.

o The latest gossip is that two girls are preparing for Durrell. The girls claim HC asked them. o

HC asked everybody who reads his social media. lol

Can’t you girls get anything right? Don’t you keep up with the geeks?

I actually made a valuable contribution. Geeks posted the interview that DS gave. But it was I who found out about school breaks in Toronto between 01/29-05/11, 2018.

DS said that HC wasn’t available when the school was closed for a holiday. So the cameo talk happened before the spring break, therefore, before HC’s successful LA April trip. DG was happy and kind of made it all about her. lol

Since there was no sign of bad blood between DG and HC in this pic or both posts, I think that logistics indeed prevented the cameo. My guess is that HC wasn’t done with MI6 and WB didn’t want to CGI his face again or build a lunchroom when he was allowed to shave.

Rumors started with JL. Fans were happy with HC's depiction of SM in JL. So rumors started about SM’s role in the DCEU. Geeks suggested a role like MCU’s Nick Fury. That means that SM will appear in the films of other heroes too.

I remember those rumors. But when did HC have time to negotiate anything so soon after JL? He was busy with a delayed MI6.

@HCFan said:

Why would a woman wear a bustier with a mini skirt to a fight?

I want to say that’s for the male audience. They even made GG’s breast bigger. But when you look at the numbers, WW’s costume didn’t pull more men in. Her audience was split 52% women and 48% men. CM’s audience was split 45% women and 55% men.

Last time I heard, DG’s bargaining chips were fans excitement about SM’s return in JL, MI6’s success, Netflix TW proposal and DJ’s success. Believe me, I thought those were crazy.

I know geek sites are eager for clicks, but readers can get tired of nonsense.

  1. Fans excitement about SM’s
    Instead of giving the fans what they wanted, WB chose to invest in a low budget Joker movie. A film that is not linked to DCEU. That’s because the DCEU was put on hold after JL flopped. JL’s low BO was a (late) wake-up call. WB had to stop with the dark ZS approach. So they rushed Shazam, another low budget, to inject some fun into the very depressing DCEU. Luckily, AM, which isn’t exactly low budget, was already in the works. Otherwise, WB would have put it on hold too. They had SS 2 on hold and SS 1 was a big financial success (4.3 x $175 mil PB). And that was without China, which would have added like a $125 mil to its total gross,
  2. MI6’s success
    Was it even out when talks supposedly happened? It came out July 27. HC’s TW announced was September 4. Negative reports came in after that. Sorry, but even a TC film can’t make 3 x $178 mil overnight. China’s whopping $182 mil happened in the course of September.
  3. Netflix TW proposal
    How did DG use this? Give HC MOS 2 or he’ll leave WB for Netflix? So instead of sealing both deals, she went for one? She went for MOS 2 in a turbulent time at WB’s. The time after their biggest film (JL) flopped and everything was put on hold. She was willing to lose her cut from HC’s 8 x $400,000.- pay check, which was probably a done deal. Come on. The woman, like everybody else, loves money. Telling WB that her client will accept the lead in a very promising TV series and that their indecisive @$$es will have to keep that in mind when they finally decide what to do with SM, is the most arrogant and logical approach. Although, I’m sure she worded it nicely to not jeopardize her relationship with WB and all her clients’ careers. Because to get the client, you must deal with the manager. But who would want to work with someone who has a manager known for being arrogant, demanding and unreasonable?
  4. DJ’s success
    How did DG use this? Wait, let’s start with where is BA? Fans were excited for a BA solo. But since we don’t have it, that should say enough about fans excitement getting anybody anything. That should also say enough about DJ’s success getting him or anybody anything. WS is a bigger star, he was a fan favorite, he was one of the few good things in SS, SS was a big financial success, fans were excited for a DS solo… still… WB was in no hurry to give him a solo. Again, that’s because WB had everything on hold after JL flopped. Now the climate is different. Things are looking good for WB now.

Now I should add tax and accounting constructions (??) to the list?

Sorry, I changed the sentence, but forgot to change constructions. stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes

Next the haters will predict HC is looking for a beard and we all will be waiting for confirmation again.

HC asked everybody who reads his social media. lol

When HC writes it on his social media means he asking everybody? hushed Suddenly, I don’t feel special anymore. weary

I actually made a valuable contribution. Geeks posted the interview that DS gave. But it was I who found out about school breaks in Toronto between 01/29-05/11, 2018.

We should put everything about this topic in one post. Like the geeks did with the ZS cut topic.

Even the last Star Wars and Jurassic World made way less than the one before them.

James Bond too. Skyfall made $1.1 billion while Spectre made only $880 million. BTW, ‘Quantum Of Solace’ didn’t even triplicate its $245 million PB.

That’s weird. DG has FWMF on her IG and Twitter and she #producer and @sevenbucksprod.

Apparently, she also helped direct FWMF.

Shazam hasn’t made 3 x $100 mil yet, but I’m positive it will.

It has now.

Tbh, CM was boring.

The film was boring, but the drama between BL, CH and DCh is very amusing. Unlike the drama between HC and BA that geeks fabricated. BA had all kinds of crap going on in his personal life that he couldn’t hide well. And BM, an A-list hero, sucking worst than Daredevil, a B-list hero, didn’t help matters. rofl

The latest gossip is that two girls are preparing for Durrell. The girls claim HC asked them. The identity of the girls will be revealed after the intell is confirmed. I bet confirmation will arrive after the challenge. Some random female participant with several HC pics on her IG/FB will be the victim. Next the haters will predict HC is looking for a beard and we all will be waiting for confirmation again.

LSH tweeted that September 4th. That puts the meeting in May. Could have been an honest mistake or consciously done. Either way, HC had a successful LA trip in April. LSH lives in LA and Netflix is based in California.

I forgot about that trip.

@AnnaB said:

Since there was no sign of bad blood between DG and HC in this pic or both posts, I think that logistics indeed prevented the cameo. My guess is that HC wasn’t done with MI6 and WB didn’t want to CGI his face again or build a lunchroom when he was allowed to shave.

DS said he always wanted SM to cameo in Shazam. So the cameo talks happened indeed before that trip. But just to be on the safe side, logistics prevented the cameo in November too. Schools in Toronto were closed on 16 Nov. and 7 Dec. But HC was already in Hungary when they were closed. He went there mid October. Shazam's reshoots started mid November.

Yes. I totally forgot some things HCFan mentioned.

DCh is busy with damage control. He kind of started this with his “Don't touch me. What did I tell you about touching?” comment and his facial expression. lol

Correct.

Even major studios can’t break a contract without consequences. And seeing how the major studio can’t say ”HC is no longer SM” (assuming the rumors are true), makes me think that easily replaceable minor star HC may have an ironclad contract.

@Blue-Rose said:

Is it possible that he wants out, but WB won’t let him? Like HC, BA said many times he loved his character. I don’t think he did. Maybe HC’s also pretending?

Warner Bros. may not be able to break the contract, but Cavill can by citing the De Havilland Law. That law allows him to break his 2011 Superman contract after seven years without any repercussions.

@HCFan said:

Last time I heard, DG’s bargaining chips were fans excitement about SM’s return in JL, MI6’s success, Netflix TW proposal and DJ’s success.

The De Havilland Law was another chip. Cavill probably used the fact that he can break the contract to renegotiate the terms. And if his LA trip was about that, then it was successful. He and Garcia seemed very happy.

@AnnaB said:

Paramount can be very difficult. McQ accepted WB’s proposal to pay to shut down production on MI6 and the bill to digitally fill in HC’s stache, but the executives from Paramount said no.

That’s a nice and simple way to put it.

McQuarrie: "So, we offered the following compromise – Jake Myers calculated the amount of money that it would take to replace the number of shots. And essentially what Jake was able to project is about a $3 million visual effects budget. So, I don't know how much Henry was in Justice League, I've never seen the movie, but I can tell you how much it would have cost for Mission: Impossible to digitally add Henry Cavill's moustache – and we said yes. We said, here's what we'll do – give us the $3 million and we'll shut down, and that'll give Henry Cavill the time to grow his moustache back. And we'll just shut our movie down. This was before Tom broke his ankle,

“At which point, somebody from Paramount Pictures said, 'What is going on? What are you people even talking about?' They were like, 'There's no way we're going to do that, we're not shutting down.' So we were just like, ‘OK well that was the best plan that we could come up with.’”

He kind of started this with his “Don't touch me. What did I tell you about touching?” comment and his facial expression. lol

Hemsworth doesn’t seem to know the difference between The Avengers and the MCU. The former is part of the latter, not the other way around. So Thor may be the strongest Avengers, but not the strongest in the MCU. That place is reserved for Captain Marvel. Larson merely repeated what Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, said. So if Hemsworth can’t handle that, he can go cry to Feige.

Feige: “In our comics mythology, Captain Marvel is a character who's got one foot on Earth and one foot in the cosmic arena. Now that we've made a number of movies that take place on Earth, and a number of cosmic adventures with the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Thor, we thought it was the right time to finally introduce Captain Marvel to the world. She's one of the most powerful — and one of the most popular — characters in our comics, and will be the most powerful character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

“With Captain Marvel, she is as powerful a character as we've ever put in a movie. Her powers are off the charts, and when she's introduced, she will be by far the strongest character we've ever had.”

WW’s armor and weapons were not made by mortals.

Didn’t SM’s mom make his costume? They changed that, right? They also updated the costumes of all the heroes. No more spandex and briefs. So WW can add black tights underneath her skirt. She’s not on an island with only women anymore. Why is it so important for her to show so much skin anyway? Is she a role model for women and girls or a sex object for men to ogle? I’m sure the latter bc they gave flat-chested GG an impressive chest.

Fans were crazy for a DS, an HQ and a BA film too. Where are they? Only HQ got hers and that had to do with WW’s success.

Thanks to PJ’s success, WB announced ADuV as the director of the big budget NG. What happened to that project?

@Sue-Yin said:

I want to say that’s for the male audience. They even made GG’s breast bigger. But when you look at the numbers, WW’s costume didn’t pull more men in. Her audience was split 52% women and 48% men. CM’s audience was split 45% women and 55% men.

So they can quit with the stripper costume and the fake boobs.

I know geek sites are eager for clicks, but readers can get tired of nonsense.

Many things are clearer when you look back. Except for the DCEU being on ice, though. That was always clear and logical after JL failed. DG knew that.

Instead of giving the fans what they wanted, WB chose to invest in a low budget Joker movie. A film that is not linked to DCEU.

I suspect they did that bc antiheroes like SS, Wolverine and DP were successful. Joker is a villain, but fans like him.

Telling WB that her client will accept the lead in a very promising TV series and that their indecisive @$$es will have to keep that in mind when they finally decide what to do with SM, is the most arrogant and logical approach.

rofl

Now the climate is different. Things are looking good for WB now.

It sure doesn’t feel like it. Still no official DC slate. Some still believe we’ll get NG, GL, BG, Flash, SG, MOS 2 and NW. But all we know is that WW84, BOP and Joker are ready. No doubt billion $ AM will get a sequel (2022). But what else can we expect? Geeks are talking about SS 2, BM and two untitled projects. But after ADuV, I’ll believe what WB says when they start filming. And yes, I have my doubts about BA and Shazam too.

Let’s hope the trip was to renegotiate his contract bc things went the way he wanted. I just hope breaking the contract wasn’t what he wanted.

So if Hemsworth can’t handle that, he can go cry to Feige.

CH and DCh were intimidated by a strong woman and probably jealous of her success too. CM is the first heroine film to cross the $1 billion mark. Thor never made $1 billion. CM also didn’t need any other heroine or hero to help her reach that mark. Take that CA:CW. And it ain't her third or second film either. Yes fellas, that’s her first film. Take that IM 3. rofl

So everything with a XY chromosome that has a problem with CM can suck lemons. angry

HC’s done, gals. From mid October to end May. 7.5 months to shoot 8 TW ep. Now I understand the $400,000 p/ep.

Btw, HC can’t accept TW without consulting with WB. A year has 12 months. It took 6 months to shoot MOS. An Earth year is 1.5 month too short for both project. And HC strikes me as someone who likes to enjoy life. And he better enjoy it. Life is too short to work, work, work, work, work, work. rofl
