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

Was DCh’s way of showing his masculinity and draw some attention to himself. BL didn’t touch him inappropriately or in a way that could be perceived as such. Is not BL’s fault that the only thing cool about War Machine was its name, till they changed it to The Patriot. Is not her fault that the actor in that suit was completely overshadowed by the awesome RDJ.

@Triksy said:

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.

Makes you wonder why the geeks never mentioned that law. What other info did they hold back to keep the drama going.

@HCFan said:

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.

And Cyborg.

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.

The only new thing is a BO poison as BM. Besides Twilight, Water For Elephants was the only BO success RP had and that was because of RW, not him. And a 33 year old BM isn’t new. CB was 30 in BB, 33 in TDK and 37 in TDKR. MK was 37 in BM and 40 in BMR. VK was 35 in BMF and GC was also 35 in BM&R. I can’t believe that BA’s badly written old BM (42) was actually a new approach.

People said that TL would ruin RP’s career. I don’t think it did. Not many seem to be doing better. Many of the Harry Potter kids and the LOTR actors aren’t doing better. The same for those playing super heroes.

@Triksy said:

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.

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.

No, he wouldn't be happy and call the trip successful. I think he just extended it or they agreed that WB will make sure that any future SM project will not conflict with TW. TW takes more than 7 months to shoot, FCS.

@Triksy said:

“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.’”

Some people think that someone like McQ can do or get whatever he wants. He won an Oscar for best screenplay and is praised for MI5 and 6, right? Guess what? He said he pitched the script of his dream and got a no from the studio. So awards,praise and BO hits won’t always get you what you want.

On the bright side, HC had no reason to cry or lose any sleep over not doing the cameo. He had his MI6 paycheck and all the money the insurance had to pay him for not taking any other job. So my hubby’s broken ankle made HC’s bank account fatter.

Geeks thought HC could have been in a mega hit. But Shazam is not a mega hit. Keeping its PB low was a very good decision. If the PB was $125 mil, we would be saying it flopped.

BTW, I can’t belive DPh’s PB is $200 mil.

Forgot to post this here too.

True. BM&R almost ruined GC’s career. And it seesms like ZS’ badly written BM has ruined BA’s. But CN’s BM gave CB’s career a boost. So, who knows? I, for one, am tired of BM. I’m not going to watch it. I want NW. RP would have been perfect as NW.

You need those and luck. MBB and her sister got EH greenlit and they will also produce it. Why would those two newbies get what they want and McQ and BP can’t. Luck.

Exactly. Those WB idiots realized that too late. If a CGI heavy film like AM can be made with $160 mil, then all the other films could have had that PB.

BTW, I can’t belive DPh’s PB is $200 mil.

I can’t believe it either. XM films don’t do that well at the BO.

@AnnaB said:

That piece of puzzle is about Shazam reshoot and TW. I think I found another piece of the puzzle. lol

Another piece has been revealed.

Comicbook

In a series of tweets, McQuarrie explained why he has not yet helmed a super hero flick. According to his sentiments, the fault lay on the studios. When asked if the rumors of him being attached to a Green Lantern movie were true, he debunked the notion. "Too complicated to explain," Mcquarrie said. "It tied into the Superman movie that Cavill and I were proposing. No takers. The studios have never cared for my original ideas. They prefer that I fix their broken ones."

McQuarrie clarified his comments, expressing that no one rejected him and Cavill, the simply never took him up on a pitch. "They never said no. They just never moved on it," he said. "This was just before Fallout was released. And no, I would not reconsider. There’s too many other things I want to do."

Back in April of this year, ComicBook.com caught up with McQuarrie, where the director revealed his conversations with Cavill about a Superman film. "Henry Cavill knows what it would be like. We had a a lot of time hanging out on set, and Henry's a huge fan of Superman," McQuarrie said. "I can't help but talk story to people, so he told me his take on Superman and I thought it was really great, and I gave him my two cents. The tweet you're referring to is somebody asked 'Would you do it?' and I said 'Hey, they know where to find me.' Nobody's asked, but you know..."

So talks did happen just before the release of MI6 July 26, 2018. The reports of talks going south, however, first surfaced September 12, 2018, right after HC announced TW September 4, 2018.

And McQ and HC just pitched the MOS 2 idea. WB didn’t say no. They just never moved on it. Didn't WB say that they had no immediate plans for an SM film? Could explain why they didn’t say no.

And it doesn’t sound like McQ or HC demanded anything. I doubt you can demand when all you’re doing is a pitch. Would pitching an idea and WB not moving on it create problems between HC and WB? People pitch ideas all the time. Very few actually get the studio’s attention.

Don’t remind me. It took me a while to recover from that image. I remeber losing my apetite. I had awful nightmares. Life, as I knew, didn’t make sense. That vid pushed me into TC’s arms. This pic gave my life meaning again, but he posted it too late. It's his own fault that he must share me with TC now.

So THR’s sources didn’t know about the GL proposal and the MOS 2 pitch. What kind of lame sources are those? They mentioned DG and left McQ out. They included Shazam cameo talk, which happened eons ago, and left the GL proposal out.

And McQ and HC just pitched the MOS 2 idea. WB didn’t say no. They just never moved on it. Didn't WB say that they had no immediate plans for an SM film? Could explain why they didn’t say no.

I can’t believe they thought that they could fix things. Now they think differently. They’re focusing on single films, not the DCEU. So McQ’s pitch could fit in their new plans.

I doubt you can demand when all you’re doing is a pitch.

Doubt it too.

Would pitching an idea and WB not moving on it create problems between HC and WB?

No! WB didn’t even say no. And their statement was extremely polite.

"While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we’ve always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged."

A studio wouldn’t do that if the actor was arrogant or if there were problems.

People pitch ideas all the time. Very few actually get the studio’s attention.

Awful ideas seem to get WB’s attention. What were they thinking when they accepted the BvS and the JL script?

@Blue-Rose said:

That news should have gone viral on social media. Geeks should be losing their isht and have multiple brain orgasms. But nothing. I hear crickets.

I read that. Suddenly, there were many reports that the feud between TC and BP got worse. All BS.

I can’t believe that QT wanted TC for the role that BP is playing in OUATIH. How can TC play LDC’s double in a film? LDC is very tall.

So THR’s sources didn’t know about the GL proposal and the MOS 2 pitch.

Weird, right? Their sources know everything, except what really happened. They just played guessing games like we all do.

HC accepted TW, because he’s not SM anymore. HC is the only actor who can’t combine film with TV. Is one or the other, not both.

HC’s not SM anymore, because he wanted a big part in Shazam. Forget the fact that he was busy with the delayed MI6 and was unavailable when the director was granted permission to film at the school.

No, HC wanted more money for the cameo in Shazam. Forget the fact that MI6’s insurance was paying him to not accept any other work.

No, HC wanted writing and producer credit for MOS 2. Where is McQ, the real brain of that operation. He wrote a proposal for GL and just a pitch for MOS 2. Big news. Geeks would have lost their isht. Lots of clicks.

Suddenly, after McQ’s revelation, JJA, co-producer of the MI films, is supposed to take over GL and MOS 2. Coincidence? I think that McQ’s revelation and the fact that he’s another MI co-producer triggered that. Also, Geeks went back in time. JJA was already attached to SM. But SM Flyby turned into SM Returns. Let’s revive that and add GL. Don’t be surprised if you hear about a feud between McQ and JJA. Clicks!

No, HC wanted everything I just mentioned. What an arrogant fool. He bit the hand that fed him. The hand got so scared that it released the nicest statement. It even stayed away from SDCC so it wouldn’t bump into HC. And to show HC it really is sorry that HC couldn’t bite off the whole arm, it used HC’s face on every SM thing at SDCC 2019.

I can’t believe they thought that they could fix things. Now they think differently. They’re focusing on single films, not the DCEU. So McQ’s pitch could fit in their new plans.

McQ doesn’t want to be involved anymore. Shame. Let JJA ruin MOS 2 like he did with ST. All three ST films flopped. They made good money in the US. But the WW gross isn’t 3x the PB or even 2x (ST 3). JJA also directed MI 3, which is the only flop in the MI franchise. SW ep VI was a success, because it’s SW and the first after ep I, II and III, which are considered abominations. Fans were curious, but not anymore. Ep VII made $800 mil less.

TC will never share a film with someone like LDC. LDC is younger than him and too successful.

World War Z failed to make 3 times it’s production budget.

HC accepted TW, because he’s not SM anymore.

Cavill accepted Witcher because he loves the game and was dying to play Geralt. He wanted the role way before the film pitch happened. Unfortunately, wanting it doesn’t mean getting it. He had to wait until Hissrich saw all the other auditions. Hissrich would have offered it to him in June before the film pitch happened, but she was done with the other auditions in September.

All three ST films flopped. They made good money in the US. But the WW gross isn’t 3x the PB or even 2x (ST 3).

I read that Tarantino will or wants to reboot Star Trek.

@Triksy said:

Way before any kind of conflict. Way before alleged Shazam refusal, MOS 2 pitch fiasco and contract renegotiation disputes.

Netflix announced TW in May 2017. HC was busy with MI6. But according to LSH, HC’s agent contacted Netflix shortly after the announcement.

“As soon as it was announced it was going to be a show, he contacted his agents who contacted Netflix and said he wants to be part of this. And Netflix was like, ‘We don’t have a show yet, there’s nothing to be a part of!’” Hissrich told me.

LSH, however, came on board in December 2017. Netflix told her about HC and she met him in April 2018.

“Once I came on board they expressed that to me, and I sat down and met him. But I was really honest with him and I said, ‘It’s really great to meet you, you seem like a nice guy. But we don’t have a script, we’re not even casting.’ And he sat back and understood.”

It’s pretty obvious that HC wanted to play Geralt from the get go, bc he’s a big fan of the game and books. His SM role and rumored problems had absolutely nothing to do with him wanting and accepting TW in September 2018.

I read that Tarantino will or wants to reboot Star Trek.

More reboot. I’m so tired of reboots and remakes. Look at MIB. WTH was that? CH has 37 million followers on IG, but his films keep flopping. What’s up with that?

Why is it so difficult to believe that HC wanted G because he’s a fan of the books and games? Everybody knows HC’s a gamer and a fan of fantasy books. Gamers dream of virtual reality. Be the character in a film or series is close to that dream. It must be freaking awesome to be paid to play the character of one of your favorite games or books in a film or series.

They always report things that are hard to verify. They always say sources that can never be verified told them this and that. But the fact that nobody mentioned McQ’s GL proposal and MOS 2 pitch or how HC annoyed Netflix for the G role and they auditioned many other actors before picking him show you that these people don’t know anything. They either guess things or they use the usual topics that will cause drama, like DG asked a lot of money or that HC is arrogant to work with. They know haters are more vocal than fans. Crap like that will spread and stick.

TBH, announcing that HC accepted TW because WB dropped SM for SG or because MOS 2 talks went sour will get more clicks or views than HC accepted TW because he’s a fan of the games and wanted the role the moment it was first announced. People like drama. And news outlets, bloggers and youtubers need clicks and views.

NIGHT HUNTER RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 13TH (UK), AUGUST 8TH (US)

This year has been pretty well-populated with big event movies, and most of them haven't really been all that impressive. While that's very disappointing, it's also great to appreciate original independent movies when they arrive, and Night Hunter is one of those movies. This is a solid mystery thriller that does its job at keeping you on the edge of your seat, as well as being a good character piece at the same time.

Also top-notch are the performances; Henry Cavill is not actually that bad here and his performance as the troubled, grizzled cop is surprisingly deep, which makes up for his recent bland portrayal of the Man of Steel.

Night Hunter is not a film that will turn the genre on its head, nor will it be regarded as one of the greatest mystery thrillers ever made, but it's still an entertaining watch that does its job and gives you plenty of thrills that'll keep audiences invested enough as it plays out. In a year without that many great films, it's nice to see a film that's actually pretty good and accomplishes what it sets out to do, even if it isn't completely perfect.

True. But they didn’t know the truth. They just assumed he accepted TW bc something went wrong with Shazam, SM or MOS 2. Your readers or viewers will get tired of wrong assumptions and lies.

You can tell the truth and then speculate why he wasn’t hired. Did he want too much money? Did they want a nobody so the show can carry itself? Did they think his acting skills weren't good enough? Did they think his name couldn't carry the show? Unlike the other characters, G is the one that will carry the show. As far as I know, HC’s the only one with a $400k p/ep paycheck. Is not unreasonable that the showrunners wanted to be sure they had the right actor to play G.

Btw, is anybody surprised that the leading lady gets peanuts while the leading man gets buckets with money? I really hope the ladies won’t be showing Brazilian waxed coochies in every ep while the men only show their hairy butts. Everybody keep their clothes on.

No, that won’t get clicks. People want drama. There must be some sinister reason why he didn’t get the job sooner. I guess the other 207 actors were really bad or even more arrogant than HC.

Btw, is anybody surprised that the leading lady gets peanuts while the leading man gets buckets with money?

No. Even when you’re an arrogant man they will hire you and pay you buckets with money. It’s good to be a difficult to work with man.
