NYV: WB offers Guy Ritchie to direct [XERXE].... because "[SUCKP] tested poorly. “It was bad; like, really bad." Antibody Feb 15, 15:47

That speculation seems counterintuitive to me...if they were that aghast at Sucker Punch, wouldn't they pull Snyder off of Superman first? Paul2k Feb 15, 15:57

The article also speculates another theory is that they want him to focus on Superman... {nm} Catzan Feb 15, 16:09

Yup, I buy that theory more. Meant to include that in my post...trigger finger too quick. :) {nm} Paul2k Feb 15, 16:13

WB could still wait a year for XERXE. What's the rush? {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 16:38

Well, they could always just not make XERXE or wait and see if the comic does well enough to warrant a movie. {nm} secretstalker Feb 15, 21:12

Maybe they're already invested in SUPR2, pulling him off would be bad press. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 16:13

This way, they could say he's too busy with SUPR2 to do XERXE. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 16:14

If SP was really bad, they would pull him off Superman, regardless of bad press. Otherwise, they'd be wasting hundreds of millions {nm} HarryWarden Feb 15, 16:26

I would guess that WB also doesn't want to ruffle CNOLA's feathers since he basically picked Snyder to do SUPR2 {nm} GBlaylock Feb 15, 17:12

I thought the SUCKP teaser was terrific, and the trailer attached to GHRNT really awful. {nm} second gary Feb 15, 19:19

WATCH and GHOOL also underperformed. {nm} Antibody Feb 15, 16:53

GHOOL was actually a decent film, but I thought it was marketed badly. Snyder is a decent director. {nm} scrtm04 Feb 15, 19:40
