DL: Insiders says that Zack Snyder is a true collaborator, not an troubled director. It is why WB is still in business with Snyder. Peterlee Apr 03, 11:04

Is DL just trying to spin this positive or what?? "Financially, BvS could still turn out alright:". Sad it even had to be said. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:14

You put 3 of the most popular superheroes in one movie and they only make 15mill more than rated R Deadpool on OW.. you have problems {nm} RHAWK Apr 03, 11:17

my point exactly. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:20

If my kids had been any younger I wouldn't want them to see this movie. (spoilers) {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:24

oops hit enter (spoilers. Dorfman Apr 03, 11:33

ok but (spoilers?) RamsFan2004 Apr 03, 11:48

Spoilerz RamsFan2004 Apr 03, 12:08

Ha! Spoilersss Dorfman Apr 03, 12:22

AND (spoilers) Dorfman Apr 03, 12:27

Strange how they don't tell us up front re: the timelines {nm} RamsFan2004 Apr 03, 12:31

sorry to interrupt with a nitpick (Miller's Dark Knight Returns spoilers)... tealfan Apr 03, 12:32

+1 RamsFan2004 Apr 03, 12:45

This is true (spoilers) Dorfman Apr 03, 16:16

where does it say that why WB is still in business with snyder? {nm} Moviesnob Apr 03, 11:15

Note, Snyder has made $2.22B across six films for the Burbank, CA-based lot since the Jeff Robinov administration, and that’s why Warners is Dorfman Apr 03, 11:21

that's why. Not that he's a collaborator. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:21

yup, but thats not what appeared made seem was in the article if not the title. {nm} Moviesnob Apr 03, 11:29

sorry, thats not what Peter made seem was in the article if not the title {nm} Moviesnob Apr 03, 11:31

It said this in the version of the article I read, but it seems to have been updated (more inside) Roger More Apr 03, 11:38

It still says he's not an ego-maniacal director. He's a true collaborator. Though who knows what "insiders" DL is referring to other than Dorfman Apr 03, 11:44

Not in the version of the article I'm looking at. Can you c&p the exact language? {nm} Roger More Apr 03, 11:47

I refreshed the page and it disappeared. LOL it was replaced with: Dorfman Apr 03, 11:49

the C&P of the original quote is in my reply to Moviesnob Dorfman Apr 03, 11:50

wrong C&P sorru {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:51

They changed a lot of the article. At first the Article was defending SUPE2 and giving excuses. Almost all of that is gone now. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 12:02

Thanks anyway. I thought that was bad spin too. No one has mentioned Snyder as being an ego-maniac - the criticism is about his vision Roger More Apr 03, 11:52

I'm not looking forward to Justice League.. That's for sure. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:55

Not as long as Snyder is at the helm. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:56

its still conjecture that Warner wants to continue to work with him in the DCU cause he's a collaborator. Moviesnob Apr 03, 11:48

it is conjecture. Who know who the "insiders" were. Obviously it wasn't that good since they immediately changed the article. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:50

I don't see any of the quotes mentioned here in the article that Peterlee linked {nm} MattW Apr 03, 11:33

That got changed fast! Maybe the "insiders" that the article mentioned didn't want that put into the article. lol {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:46

The article just about completely reverse the stance on Snyder. The sentence talking about him not being egomanical director and being a Dorfman Apr 03, 11:48

Interesting, thanks {nm} MattW Apr 03, 12:28

"Snyder has made $2.22B across six films..." "...and that’s why Warners is still in business with Snyder." {nm} RHAWK Apr 03, 11:21

I'd want to ditch David S. Goyer first before wholly writing off Snyder. Jay_Beezy Apr 03, 11:33

Why do we keep hesitating on writing off Snyder when he continues (to many) to disappoint time and time again. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:34

People want to blame the others Snyder works with, but the constant is Snyder. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:35

Well, there's a guiltier culprit involved. But that doesn't mean Snyder's not testing my patience. {nm} Jay_Beezy Apr 03, 15:52

It's not like Terrio had to keep Goyer's stuff in his draft... did he? {nm} RamsFan2004 Apr 03, 11:35

Maybe he took out some of Goyer's stuff but Goyer put it back in. Jay_Beezy Apr 03, 15:52

So the stuff about Affleck re-writing scenes while still in the batsuit were not true? Wasn't Terrio his guy? {nm} RamsFan2004 Apr 03, 18:18

What I'm saying is no matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd. Jay_Beezy Apr 03, 18:41

Also from the article: ZOOTP's $20M is the best fifth weekend for a pre-summer release ever, beating American Sniper's $16.4M {nm} RamsFan2004 Apr 03, 11:34

oh but we are in pre-summer which is DL excuse for SUPE2 not doing as well as it could have. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:52

this is painfully obvious, no insider sources required IMO. {nm} Exogen Apr 03, 11:53

Maybe the problem is he is too collaborative. Just another example of a failed collaboration if that was the case. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 11:56

Perhaps Snyder should just be DOP (Cinematographer) and have someone else Directing. {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 12:23

He would never take the back seat now. You'd have to out-and-out replace him. {nm} RamsFan2004 Apr 03, 13:12

What's everybody worried about? BvsS is still going to make 800 million worldwide. {nm} AgentEvil Apr 03, 14:12

When it should have easily cleared 1 billion, and set up an entire slate of future movies, 800 million becomes an issue {nm} shadowking Apr 03, 15:58

+1 {nm} Dorfman Apr 03, 16:17

Ant Man made $500M+. Ant. Man. If you can`t make at least 4 times Ant. Man. give. up. {nm} Anniebecca Apr 03, 17:26

was that a shot? I think that was a shot. LOL {nm} Dorfman Apr 04, 05:58
