No but what if ninja turtles beats this at the box office. I'd laugh my ass off.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I actually decided to buy less toys in general after seeing this movie. It soured me on the joys of life just a tad.

Like The Road kind of soured?

It's no secret that Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was massacred by critics on release. But what does franchise Oscar-winning star Jeremy Irons had to say about it? When confronted by the fact that his movie got a ruthless kicking by critics, he said, "Deservedly so. I mean it took £800 million, so the kicking didn’t matter but it was sort of overstuffed…" He went on to add, "It was very muddled. I think the next one will be simpler. The script is certainly a lot smaller, it’s more linear," offering some hope that the next DCEU film could perhaps be a littler better. As for what's in it for him he frankly said, "I’m tied into The Batman at the minute [the next instalment, Justice League Part One, is due next year], which is nice because it’s a bit of income… Not that I need a bit of income but it’s nice to keep ticking over."

I'm telling ya, he's a mole. Sooner than later, he'll be all "Hail Marvel"...Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mr. Irons...

I like how he thinks $800 mil is a big deal so the critics don't matter, and how easily he dismisses the thing with "the next one will be better" he has no idea how the internet was in utter turmoil during that time

He's too good for Marvel though, I bet he'd rather not do cape**** at all than go to Marvel.

At least he was honest and didn't shift into "Maximum Over-Denial". That, or he's a spy. A HYDRA spy...

 

[GasparZizou]

I don't think he cares at all, he's just in it for the pesos, like Hopkins and pretty much every serious actor in cape**** right now.

Eh, pretty much. CBMs pay good, and these guys mostly just sit around, spout off some nonsense for a while, and then go home and bathe in dollars. I'm interested to see Stallone in GotG and Blanchet in Thor though. She seemed rather excited.

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah, they've always been like this, I remember Brando in Superman.

I read in the MoS thread hat he walked around set talking about bagels and didn't learn his dialogue at all

Stallone in GotG should be fun.

Blanchet in Thor is just Hopkins all over again imo, not excited about Thor 3 at all, until I see something.

So, I guess DC made him an offer he...couldn't refuse?! Get it? Because they offered him lots of money and... Yeah, I-I'm going...

Rumour has it he's playing Charlie-27. And honestly, that's perfect!

Dunno, she seemed rather excited. We'll see.

That is my favorite story from Superman The Movie

In addition to being one of the most revered names in the business, Brando had a reputation for being more about the money than the craft. When Donner called well-known agent Jay Kanter, he gave him some advice.

“He's going to want play it like a green suitcase.” I said, “What does that mean?” “It means he hates to work and he loves money, so if he can talk you into the fact that the people on Krypton look like green suitcases and you only photograph green suitcases, he'll get paid just to do the voice-over. That’s the way his mind works.“ I said, “F—,” and then I called Francis Coppola. He said, “He’s brilliant. He's got a brilliant mind. But he loves to talk. Keep him talking, and he'll talk himself out of any problem.”

Donner recounts the first time he met with Brando at his house about the role of Jor-El.

"He said, “Why don't I play this like a bagel?” I was ready for him to say “a green suitcase” and he said “bagel.” He said, “How do we know what the people on Krypton looked like?” He had good logic. He said, “Maybe they looked like bagels up there in those days?” I said, “Jeez, Marlon, let me tell you something.” He’d just told us the story about a kid [and how smart he was] and I said, “It's 1939. There isn't a kid in the world that doesn't know what Jor-El looks like, and he looks like Marlon Brando.” And he looked at me and smiled [and said], “I talk too much, don't I?” He said, “OK. Show me the wardrobe.”

There's a new bat suit in Justice League. It's darker colored, almost black.

Hey difabio, did the new suit still have the same big black bat symbol? Was it basically the same suit but darker?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Yellow emblem, please.

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah, if it's black, a yellow emblem would be nice.

I hope its not black though, I hope it's a lighter gray.

OMG...he pretty much said, he's doing it just for the money Interesting, how he's now being so honest about how bad the film was, but before the film came out he said the script was "amazing."

[ZombieRepublican]

I see no problem with his comments. Sure he's doing it for the money, but regardless the man always brings it! That's professionalism.

I'm sure he'll enjoy working with Ben on The Batman

 

[RIDDICK]

OMG...he pretty much said, he's doing it just for the money lol

Paul Bettany said it first!

Well part of doing it for the money means shilling when the movie is being promoted. It's written into their contracts, I'm sure, that they have to go to red carpets, do talk shows, etc. No surprise here.
