News On Future Films Based on Comics/Paranormal/Sci-Fi

The Edgar Wright dropping isn't all to disappointing. Ant-Man should be a major part of phase 3, hell he should've been part of the MCU by now so I'm pretty sure Marvel wants their vision to that film to coincide with their phases. I always thought Edgar Wright films were pretty offbeat to be part of the MCU and antman is a pretty linear character but I was curious as to how it would be done because Paul Rudd is a great actor but now that the partnership is done I'm curious as to who the new director is. Hopefully it doesn't affect the quality of Antman

I would post a certain gif :lol:. Like Nolan who's trilogy is overrated, Marvel can do no wrong. They haven't had duds? Iron Man 2 and 3 and both Thor films weren't good movies. They did well at the box office, but they weren't good.

Howard is Terrence Howard. They made the excuse of him wanting more money when he himself that was never the case.Doesn't matter because Rhodes was an afterthought personality wise in the latter two films.

Whether Joss is directly involved with AoS doesn't take away from the fact that this show has his style all over it which is probably why his fanboys on the Internet have given it a pass it doesn't deserve.

Terrance Howard? **** TERRANCE HOWARD. **** HIM AND HIS HERPES INVESTED LIFE.

I don't give a **** about Terrance Howard for ****. Marvel should've never cast him as Rhodey in the first place. I don't **** with him AT ALL. So we can definitely disagree about his treatment.

Thor films were good to me. I have the sequel being better than the original. They weren't great or amazing but they were good imo. This is where opinions differ. IM2 was bad. IM3 has it's moments. I didn't hate it.

I'm sorry but I'm not buying that Joss Whedon bull **** you're selling. If any person takes "his style" and does a show it doesn't mean you get to attribute the show not being good to Joss Whedon. He didn't create the show, he doesn't direct or write for it. I think he's only like an executive producer and they just pony up money or add in a suggestion here and there. Stop trying to make Joss responsible for a show you don't like when he aint even do it. Now whether or not his fanboys are being lenient on the show is irrelevant to what we're talking about anyway.

This really isn't a situation of Marvel looking for a puppet director. They gave Wright like 8-10 years to develop this, worked with and kept him around this entire time. They could've easily ditched him years ago if they wanted to. Favreau got dismissed easily for IM3.

I'm not even sure I'd put Rattner as average, outside of the Rush Hour franchise (which kept going downhill film after film) he hasn't really done anything good. X3, Tower Heist, Red Dragon, After the Sunset, etc...

Red Dragon is a decent movie. And the first 2 Rush Hours do count for something. :lol:

As a person, he's probably the worst, but he's the definition of average, studio shill director to me. You'll never get anything great or unique out of him, but you'll get just good enough that you can follow the story and people can give their performances, which is a lot more than you can say for the real **** directors. After that, whether it's decent or not is if the script and the cast are good.

I don't actually blame him 100% for X3. He was never that kinda director. And that whole script and production with all those character and story choices were locked down before he even signed up. Plus he came in last minute after Singer dipped. I remember hearing that Singer dipped cuz he didn't like the script, the deadline was coming and WB gave him an out. Don't get me wrong...it's still hard to make a lifeless movie, which it was, but it had a lot of problems from the jump.

Seems like these negotiations where in place for a min.

Negotiations? Do you mean with Wright?

Edgar Wright's been working on Ant-Man for like a decade.
 
UPDATE: Despite a director supposedly being announced "shortly," sources have informed the folks at Variety that "Marvel is zeroing in on a new director, but is not yet in negotiations with one."
 
"The word from people on the crew is Wright got booted for being REALLY behind schedule and being ineffective at righting the ship and getting it back on track. Production has been bleeding money for a month and Marvel got fed up with him and they lost their confidence in his ability to manage a production of this size."

If true (and this is just heresy from another forum until proven) seems they just threw out the "creative differences" typical generic phrase as an excuse not to damage anybody's reputation.

Thought the same thing. Take out some useless parts and they'd be good. Swap out Pam Beasley Lois lane too :smh:

Never really thought about it but you are right

Looks like I was mistaken
 
Please be Rian Johnson or Spike Jonze.
A Spike Jonze Marvel movie would be

. I kind of doubt that he'd be interested though, it'd be a pleasant surprise. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up deciding to hand over the reins to Joe Cornish with them already being behind schedule and he did help write the movie.

That I would approve of. But he shouldn't be given Ant-Man of all people. He should have the Dr. Strange or Black Panther movies.
 
Son out here typing essays like I give a ****. Take that **** elsewhere. Whedon fanboys like yourself kill me but I digress. I'll simply block you.

Spawn is on :x. Fit the mold for bad comic book movies of the 90s. Still want that reboot but it's never going to happen.

Now I'm a Whedon fanboy :lol:

Should've saved yourself the time if you were just gonna ***** and moan about it.
 
Disappointed and surprised to hear the Wright news.

I'd say he was the primary reason I was excited about Ant-Man. I'll still see it, but I was interested in his vision.
 
Another report on Wrights exit from AntMan.

El Mayimbe of Latino Review has done some digging and this is what he has come up with.

"The prep on this film has been forever and it was impossible to be behind schedule because the entire production was out on hiatus by Marvel for duration of the script's rewrite. Families left homes to work on the movie in Atlanta and were now suddenly in limbo. So about the rewrite... About 3 months ago, Marvel had notes. The meat of the notes were about the core morality of the piece, must include franchise characters. etc., These notes came from the big four at Marvel. Joe Cornish and Edgar Wright did two drafts to try and answer the notes without compromising their vision. 6 weeks ago Marvel took the script off them and gave the writing assignment to two very low credit writers. One of the writers were from Marvel's in house writing team. Edgar stayed cool, agreed to stay on the project, and read the draft. The script came in this week and was completely undone. Poorer, homogenized, and not Edgar's vision. Edgar met with Marvel on Friday to formally exit and the announcement went out directly after. Edgar & Joe were upset by the sudden, out of nowhere lack of faith in them as filmmakers. Fiege had always batted for them but this felt like it came from the higher ups. Where does this leave the cast? Well, it is believed they don't have the option to walk like Edgar did."
 
**** stupid

I love edgar wrights movies

Marvel feeling themselves too much

Wb and dc should snatch wright up now to do a future movie
 
Spike Jonze would never do a studio film :lol:

especially something like this.. Plus he's out of Marvel's price range. They've become lowkey known for not paying directors well
