Hollywood Reporter

quote:

Warner Bros. is courting the actor-director to helm Suicide Squad 2 and the sides are early in talks, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. No official offer has been made nor has any commitment. Sources say that Gibson is familiarizing himself with the material. But the studio is not being passive and it is also looking at other directors, Daniel Espinosa among them.

Maybe the only good idea they've had since hiring Ben Affleck.

Good god warner bros. Just fricking nuke the whole damn DCEU after WW and Justice League, sell the franchise to a competent studio and make a pretty penny off of it.

Critics: "You'll never trick audiences into seeing another Suicide Squad movie."

Warner Bros.: "Hold my beer."

I'd rather not have a guy who has openly shite on comic based films in the past direct a comic movie.

That's begging for an end result that will massively turn off the built in fanbase which leads to lesser box office returns. It's not like there are any real world examples they could draw that conclusion from. The worlk by Josh Trank and Zack Snyder never happened amirite?

I bet Mel Gibson could actually direct the frick out of a Batman Franchise.

Imagine Batman as Braveheart or The Patriot

I quickly read that and for some reason my brain registered "Mel Brooks"

Now THAT would be a movie....

This is just a trick to ruin Mel's name again after his new life after Hacksaw.

Video of Mel asked about Suicide Squad

quote:

During the Q&A session, the moderator asked, "So is this getting close to a deal or is it a first date?" To which Gibson replied, "It’s kind of a first date."

I think that would be awesome, the story and plot would be AIR tight. I can't say much for the visual though, I don't think Mel have the experience to incorporate that comic book feel to the movie.

Like most comic book movies are able to make you not think too much on the costume. But with Mel, I think he would make it seem weird that people's wearing costumes.

I know that Gibson is a "monster", but whenever I read the transcription of his racist, misogynist, homophobic rant, I giggle when it gets to the part where he calls the female cop "sugar tits".

I mean, come on.
