[h1]Report: Suicide Squad Suffered From Studio Interference[/h1]



Suicide Squad arrives in theaters this week, but Warner Bros.’ latest summer tentpole has already suffered from a lashing by critics. This came as a huge surprise for a lot of fans who had been eagerly anticipating the film, which has had notably great trailers and a strong marketing campaign.



A common criticism among all of the reviews – good and bad – is that the film doesn’t flow well and is a bit of a mess, which seems to be a result of some choppy editing. There was some disquiet earlier this year when it was reported that Suicide Squad was going into extensive reshoots,which some said was a response to the poor reception of Batman V Supernan: Dawn of Justice. Sadly, a new report suggests that the talk of studio meddling was not exaggerated.



Citing multiple sources close to the production, THR reports that Warner Bros. brought in multiple editors (uncredited in the final version of the film) to piece together a “lighter, studio-favored version” that was shown to test audiences alongside director David Ayer’s “more somber version.” It isn’t uncommon to show different versions of movies to test audiences, and THR’s sources say that Ayer “agreed to and participated in the process.” In the wake of the first test screenings (in which “the studio-favored version with more characters introduced early in the film and jazzed-up graphics won”), Warner Bros.decided to invest millions of dollars in additional photography to try and find the right tone for the movie.



According to some sources, the struggle to find the right tone for Suicide Squad involved “a lot of panic and ego instead of calmly addressing the tonal issue,” and Ayer became very stressed by the process – not helped by the fact that Warner Bros. decided to pass on his follow-up film, Bright, two weeks before test screening. One source said that Ayer was under “a lot — a lot — of pressure” from the studio, and during reshoots and post-production was “exhausted and needed time to process conflicting ideas.”



One source said that the main credited editor for Suicide Squad, John Gilroy (Nightcrawler), had actually left by the end of the editing process, and that the final editor was Michael Tronick (The Green Hornet).



The report is uncomfortably reminiscent of 2015 superhero movie debacle Fantastic Four, whose production was rumored to be a battlefield between director Josh Trank and studio 20th Century Fox, with Trank reportedly shut out of the editing process entirely. There’s no guarantee, of course, thatSuicide Squad would have turned out better if Ayer had been allowed to pursue his original vision. But if Warner Bros.’ goal was to make sure that the movie was a runaway hit, the studio isn’t off to a good start.

Someone out there gotta think lost is the greatest show ever

Just have to raise my hand to this

It definitely had its great moments and showed how certain good stories can captivate a nation and be a juggernaut.

it would have to be extremely bad for me to dislike it.

nothing will top ghostbusters as worst movie this year

You lost for watching Ghostbusters man

So what's the verdict NY, y'all haven't let me down on movies rating...

Any ?/8....?

Nah b, WB/DC let's their directors keep their vision unlike Marvel studios who constantly interfere and make all the movies look alike.

Sounds a whole lot like F4 if it's actually true

But I really hate these movie runor articles. Never any citations it's always "some sources" or "sources close to the production".

Bruh, who in their right mind would go on record about any of this? That's asking for a lawsuit and obviously being unable to work in the industry ever again.

Surprise, surprise....
Fox does the same BS consistently.
Big wigs love jizzing in the creative soup.
Ayers quote about dying on his knees doesn't make much sense if this is the case then....

Fassbender could have made a good Joker or would make a good Riddler.

The quote is "I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees."

Swore I wrote feet. It doesn't make sense if the article is true then.

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

Momoa will save this franchise

 

[kal-el-8]

Can they let Feige take over DC?

 

[tay1]

It is also said that Ayer wrote the film in 6 weeks and that the film had a release date before there was a script

He also tweeted:

So, I'll take that article with a grain of salt until Ayers says otherwise either directly or indirectly...

He's gonna be the lone wolf/nomad with a ride-or-die honey on his arm.

Which is why it doesn't make any goddamn sense why this is getting killed, studio meddling makes sense but it's

I'm fully aware of Ayers resume, fury is one of my favorite films.

It's just BS man.

It's just BS man.

He also wrote SWAT, Fast & the Furious and directed Street Kings.

Just to get the full look of his work and what a not good movie looks like from him.

He really was on a streak of really really good movies though.

Naw, she damaged goods. Depp done left his mark on her.

Momoa is married to Denise Huxtable, that caught me off guard when I found that out. She's aging like fine wine.

Momoa is married to Denise Huxtable, that caught me off guard when I found that out. She's aging like fine wine.

Which means his step-daughter is the very fine Zoe Kravitz. I just remembered that Fassbender used to skewer Zoe on the regular. I wonder if that's how him Momoa know each other.

Suicide Squad’ Review: DC Misses Its Target

Suicide Squad wants desperately to be this year’s Guardians of the Galaxy, but it’s ultimately this year’s Fantastic Four.

I'm done with these reviews. I'm all set for tomorrow
