Ben Affleck is the latest in a series of directors to bow out of a DC comic book movie.
We take a look at a familiar pattern… Rather, Affleck says, I cannot do both jobs to the level they require.
I have decided to find a partner in a director who will collaborate with me on this massive film.
You may remember Michelle MacLaren, theGame Of ThronesandBreaking Baddirector who bowed out ofWonder Womans production in 2015.
Then theres the whole sorry saga behindAnt-Man,which eventually saw Edgar Wright replaced by Peyton Reed.
This brings us to a second problem: the wildly different studio cultures at Warner and Marvel.
With difficulty, is the short answer.
This is why several writers and directors have jumped ship.
In other words, the studios still feeling its way around a new and quite different kind of filmmaking.
We didnt even talk about what the next movie would be like, Roven said.
We knew wed probably have the Joker, because the movie was going to end with the Joker card.
But we didnt talk about plot or anything, you know?
Were talking about how the world is going to be connected with these individual movies likeAquamanandThe FlashandCyborg, etc.
Its so many movies, Deborah Snyder concurred.
Like Kevin Feige, Johns is 44 years old and has a connection toSupermandirector Richard Donner.
Johns got his start by working as Donners assistant in the late 90s.
Feige worked with producer Lauren Shuler Donner (wife of Richard) on the firstX-Menmovie in 2000.
Johns and Berg are listed as producers on Zack Snyders Justice League, which is currently in post-production.
That couldnt be more wrong, Johns toldThe Wall Street Journal.Its a hopeful and optimistic view of life.
Even Batman has a glimmer of that in him.
If he didnt think hed make tomorrow better, hed stop.
