Io voglio anche Amy Adams, damn.

[Arkin Torsen]

Aspetterò pazientemente il prossimo reboot. E intanto mi godo i sequel di Joker e The Batman.

[Man of Steel]

Io voglio anche Amy Adams, damn.

Diciamo che pensando a prossimi 10 anni su per giù, non ho voluto darlo per scontato, poi io vorrei rivedere gli stessi attori che hanno interpretato i Kents, Els, Perry White, ma heh...

James Gunn e Peter Safran (un nome che ho spesso caldeggiato nelle ultime settimane, se ricordate, dato che si è messo in luce come produttore di "The Conjuring", "The Conjuring 2", "Aquaman", "Shazam!", "The Suicide Squad", "Peacemaker") saranno i vertici dei nuovi DC Studios, la nuova divisione autonoma di Warner Bros Discovery.

"We're honored to be the stewards of these DC characters we've loved since we were children," Gunn and Safran said in a statement. "We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the DC stable of characters is only equaled by our commitment to the wonder of human possibility these characters represent. We're excited to invigorate the theatrical experience around the world as we tell some of the biggest, most beautiful, and grandest stories ever told."

L'inizio di una nuova era

DC Shocker: James Gunn, Peter Safran to Lead Film, TV and Animation Division (Exclusive)

The duo will report to David Zaslav and assume the titles of co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios.

 In a stunning turn of events, filmmaker James Gunn and producer Peter Safran have been tapped to lead DC's film, TV and animation efforts as co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios, a newly formed division at Warner Bros. that will replace DC Films.

The unprecedented move, in which a top director will assume a top executive post, marks the end of a months-long search by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav to replace DC Films boss Walter Hamada, who departed the studio last week. That search had all of Hollywood guessing and playing executive bingo for who will get one of the most coveted — and challenging — jobs in town.

 In recent weeks, Gunn and Safran were spotted on the Warners lot, meeting with Warners film co-chair Michael De Luca about future projects. And according to sources, the initial overture to Safran and Gunn came from De Luca over the summer, even as the studio was in shaky talks with Dan Lin to take the job.

Gunn will focus on the creative side, while Safran will focus on the business and production side of things. Both are expected to continue to direct and produce projects, respectively. They will report directly to Zaslav, and work closely with Warners film bosses De Luca and Pamela Abdy. Sources say the deal runs four years and Gunn will be exclusive to DC. The goal is for them not just to be producers, but to truly function as execuctives even as Gunn will occasionally hone a movie.

Unlike Marvel Studios, DC has multiple films set in separate creative universes, and according to sources, Joker filmmaker Todd Phillips' work on the upcoming sequel, which goes into production later this year, will not fall under Gunn and Safran's purview and instead will be overseen by De Luca and Abdy. Matt Reeves, who worked under Hamada, has a budding universe based on The Batman movie. It is unclear under whose purview Reeves' future projects would fall, but everything else moving forward would be under Gunn and Safran.

"DC has among the most entertaining, powerful, and iconic characters in the world and I am thrilled to have the singular and complementary talents of James and Peter joining our world-class team and overseeing the creative direction of the storied DC Universe," said Zaslav in a statement. "Their decades of experience in filmmaking, close ties to the creative community, and proven track record thrilling superhero fans around the globe make them uniquely qualified to develop a long-term strategy across film, TV, and animation, and take this iconic franchise to the next level of creative storytelling."

Gunn is one of the more respected minds in the world of comic book filmmaking. He came up in the indie film space, and became an A-list filmmaker in 2014 with Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy and its 2017 sequel. He jumped to DC in 2018 to develop The Suicide Squad after rival Marvel fired him as director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. (The studio later reinstated him, and that project is due out in May 2023.) His DC foray The Suicide Squad was critically adored, and spawned the hit HBO Max spinoff Peacemaker, starring John Cena. Gunn is currently working on a second season.

Safran came up as a manager, where Gunn was among his clients, and is fully enmeshed in the world of DC as producer of the $1 billion grossing Aquaman and its upcoming sequel, as well as Squad, Peacemaker and Shazam! and it's sequel. His relationship with Warners extends back ten years and includes the $2 billion Conjuring horror franchise. The Safran Company recently re-upped its production deal with Warners.

Gunn and Safran will work with top execs at WBD, including TV boss Channing Dungey; HBO and HBO Max's Casey Bloys; US Networks Group chair and chief content officer Kathleen Finch; consumer products chief Pam Lifford; and Warner Interactive Entertainment's David Haddad. DC Studios will share resources across the company.

"We're honored to be the stewards of these DC characters we've loved since we were children," Gunn and Safran said in a statement. "We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the DC stable of characters is only equaled by our commitment to the wonder of human possibility these characters represent. We're excited to invigorate the theatrical experience around the world as we tell some of the biggest, most beautiful, and grandest stories ever told."

The move comes at a seismic moment for the DC, which for the past four years has been led by Hamada under the DC Films banner. The executive departed amid friction with new Warners leadership under Zaslav, who made the controversial decision to axe Batgirl in August and has vowed to reshape DC with a ten-year plan as it seeks to compete with rival Marvel Studios. Even though Zaslav talked about finding a Kevin Feige-style executive, over the summer the team started exploring looking at emulating the Pixar model, in which you have producers and filmmakers working as executives. That has never been tried in the live-action space.

DC released Black Adam over the weekend, which featured Superman actor Henry Cavill's return to the DC universe, and next up has Shazam! Fury of the Gods out in March.

As for Gunn's future at Marvel, there has been talk that he could continue on in some form after the conclusion of his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. However, today's news, which comes hours after Marvel touted its upcoming Gunn-directed Guardians holiday special, seems to have closed the door on Gunn's chapter in the MCU.

The hiring is effective Nov. 1, and comes as De Luca and Abdy have been making creative decisions and overseeing post-production on everything from The Flash to Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom, since taking over their posts in early July.

"We could not be more excited to have James Gunn and Peter Safran join the team and assume the leadership of the DC Universe," De Luca and Abdy said in a statement. "James is a brilliant filmmaker and storyteller and Peter is a tremendously successful and prolific producer and to have them both committing to work together to forge this new era for DC is a literal dream come true. We all share a very similar sensibility and passion for this universe and the stars couldn't have aligned any better. We can't wait to get started, dig in, and collaborate with these unmatched creative minds."

Finalmente sta per nascere un DC Studios? Un piano a lungo termine? Abbiamo dei showrunners a la Kevin Feige???

[Bread v Pak]

James Gunn?

Mi sembra una cosa sbagliata tanto quanto lo sarebbe stato darla a Snyder.

Nel senso che ha un approccio a questi film estremo tanto quanto lo è quello di Snyder, solo che è sul lato opposto...

[Eradicatore]

BOOM! 

[nickorso90]

Minchia oh 

[Man of Steel]

James Gunn?

No, io spero non sia come con Snyder, nonostante abbia apprezzato il suo Suicide Squad e AMATO Peacemaker, io non mi fido di Gunn, specialmente per quanto concerne la parte cosmica, che sia roba Marvel e figuriamoci DC...

Snyder guidava l'universo DC dirigendo film importanti ed era coinvolto anche durante la fase di scripting certe volte, Gunn al massimo si deve limitare a collezionare registi per i vari film e assicurarsi di creare Fasi su Fasi, una struttura alla Marvel Studios insomma, non tanto la parte creativa, perchè sennò adieu..

EDIT: Meh, nvm...

Gunn will focus on the creative side of things, while Safran will focus on the business and production side.

[Heretic Bill]

Felicissimo per l'ufficialità del ritorno di Cavill, ma se pure qui mi devo ritrovare tutti i film fatti con lo stampino Gunn, allora attendo ad esultare...

[AdrianVeidt]

BOOM! 

Minchia oh 

Quanto è bello essere fan DC in questi ultimi giorni?
Grazie David Zaslav   

Felicissimo per l'ufficialità del ritorno di Cavill, ma se pure qui mi devo ritrovare tutti i film fatti con lo stampino Gunn, allora attendo ad esultare...

Avrà un ruolo "a-la-Kevin Feige", mica sarà il regista di ogni singolo film.
Vuol dire che agirà da showrunner supervisonando la macrotrama e farà da tramite tra i vari registi incaricati dei singoli film.
I film che avranno il suo stile registico saranno quelli scritti e diretti da lui ("Peacemaker Season 2" e due nuovi film segreti).

[Bread v Pak]

Bene signori, questa è la mia fermata.
 Per il momento scendo qui

[toky91]

Da una parte temo che lasciare una gestione del genere a Gunn sia un errore, ma dall'altra finalmente c'è gente dietro a questi ruoli che sanno fare cinecomics di successo, dunque niente più ignoranza e idiozie nelle idee e gestione dei film.
Però mi raccomando, non voglio ritrovarmi i personaggi DC a fare la fine dei guardiani della galassia o volgarotti con comiche alla Squad, perché la League e altri personaggi non sono affatto così.

[Man of Steel]

Bene signori, questa è la mia fermata.

Mettiamola così, specialmente visto ciò che si era detto giusto qualche giorno fa, essendo Gunn molto amico di Snyder, ora che ai vertici ci sta gente che adora il lavoro di Zack invece che odiarlo, le sue chance per un suo ritorno per un qualche progetto non sono mai state così alte dopo...errr tutto il casino post-JL.
