Will Smith Says Jared Leto Stayed In Character As Joker Throughout Suicide Squad Filming

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22336:]]

We learn a tidbit about the Suicide Squad in that Jared Leto stayed completely in character as Joker during filming — so much so that Leto never even spoke to Will Smith as the two worked on the film together for six months.

Will Smith told Complex the following:

[Suicide Squad] is insane. I’ve never actually met Jared Leto. We worked together for 6 months and we’ve never exchanged a word outside of ‘Action!’ and ‘Cut!’ I literally have not met him yet. So, the first time I see him will be ‘Hey, Jared. What’s up?’ He was all in on the Joker.

For fans of Smith’s Bad Boys series, the actor is currently involved in a third film and offered up the next one should be coming out in 12-16 months.

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Steven Spielberg Thinks Superhero Movies Popularity Will Come To An End

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21935:]]

Are superhero movies doomed?

If we go by Steven Spielberg’s recent statements, comic book movies are to go the way of the Western.

“We were around when the Western died and there will be a time when the superhero movie goes the way of the Western. It doesn’t mean there won’t be another occasion where the Western comes back and the superhero movie someday returns,” Spielberg told the AP, reports Yahoo.

Spielberg goes on to explain his thoughts in that he thinks super hero movies are part of a cycle, and that someone will eventually come up with something new.

“Of course, right now the superhero movie is alive and thriving. I’m only saying that these cycles have a finite time in popular culture,” Spielberg offered. “There will come a day when the mythological stories are supplanted by some other genre that possibly some young filmmaker is just thinking about discovering for all of us.”

Spielberg also previously said he feels Hollywood is headed toward an “implosion” because of the over-abundance of mega-budget movies, in which he still feels the same way.

“I do. I still feel that way,” Spielberg said.

Speaking of mega-budget movies, Spielberg was executive producer on the blockbuster Jurassic World, which had a $150 million budget of its own, and with the success of the Marvel movies, and most likely the DC movies, it doesn’t seem as if the superhero doomsday is coming any time soon.

Up next for Spielberg is the adaptation of Ready Player One in which he will direct for WB.

2016:

Margot Robbie Talks Fantastic Four & Jared Leto’s Joker

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21862:]]

Margot Robbie lets it be known she has dodged the proverbial bullet as prior to Suicide Squad, she was up for the role of Invisible Woman Sue Storm in the Josh Trank Fantastic Four movie which went to Kate Mara.

Prior to Suicide Squad wrapping, Robbie spoke with the NY Daily News about FF.

“I didn’t really resonate with the script, and I haven’t seen the movie, so I don’t really know how it turned out different from the page,” Robbie said of Fantastic Four. “But I had a great meeting with the director [Josh Trank] and I really enjoyed that. I guess it’s part of the game: sometime you win some, sometimes you lose some.”

It ended up working out that David Ayer would cast Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, the side kick to Jared Leto’s Joker, a role, which by all accounts, looks to be a blockbuster for Robbie. 

“What he’s doing with the character is so cool,” she said of Leto as the Joker. “At first it was kind of confronting (to be up close) but now I’m so used to it, I think if I ever saw him out of makeup now I would be really confused.”

Margot Robbie also offered her character is just as crazy as the Joker.

“I guess the one common denominator is we’re all bad guys, it just makes everything more fun that way,” Robbie offered. “The scenes are more interesting I feel, when you just don’t know how the characters are going to react, especially with Harley, who’s absolutely nuts… she’s either going to kill you or laugh and give you a hug.”  

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Viola Davis On Suicide Squad: I’m Blown Away

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21851:]]

One of the most anticipated comic book movies – if not the most anticipated – to come out next year is Suicide Squad. The trailer initially leaked online following Comic-Cn, and then when officially released took the world by storm. It’s amassed over 50 million views on YouTube alone as well.

Deadline caught up with Viola Davis, who is playing Amanda Waller, to get her take on the movie to date:

I have one more day [of filming], which I’m flying out for this weekend. I’ve been working on the film since April 1st. It sounds like a lot, but I haven’t been working every day. I haven’t done a lot of comic book movies, actually I’ve done none! DC Comics have a tendency to have darker characters. You know, Batman is a darker character, Harley Quinn, the Joker, and what David Ayer has managed to do is humanize them. I think that you see it in the trailer too–just something different about it that makes you lean in. What he’s explored is the pathology behind all of these characters, so you just get that extra spin that gives you the flavor and a look which is very different. And at the same time you get all the stuff that you’ve gotten before, which is the action, the special effects, the great makeup. I’m blown away by the movie. Once I saw the trailer, I was like, “Oh, my God. He really is a magician.” I mean, I had no idea. So, it’s been a real pleasure working on it with David Ayer.

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Suicide Squad Trailer Trending #1 On YouTube


Suicide Squad Trailer
 

Currently the popular Hollywood trade news sites (now THR has joined in) are providing spin for Warner Bros. in that the studio is said to be disappointed by the leaked footage from Comic-Con. Some reports even offered that all the studios are considering not releasing any more footage at conventions due to the leaks.

Of course, I had to call BS on that as studios do leak stuff themselves and leaked footage is beneficial – as Ryan Reynolds just admitted regarding Deadpool.

Now we get futher proof from YouTube as the Suicide Squad trailer is currently the #1 trending video in just about every city in the United States.

It’s pretty much just like I said: The studios get double the promotion.

Now, who’s complaining (see below)?

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Sue Kroll, President Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures:

“Warner Bros. Pictures and our anti-piracy team have worked tirelessly over the last 48 hours to contain the Suicide Squad footage that was pirated from Hall H on Saturday. We have been unable to achieve that goal. Today we will release the same footage that has been illegally circulating on the web, in the form it was created and high quality with which it was intended to be enjoyed. We regret this decision as it was our intention to keep the footage as a unique experience for the Comic Con crowd, but we cannot continue to allow the film to be represented by the poor quality of the pirated footage stolen from our presentation.”

Movie Studios Holding Out New Footage Over Leaks At Cons? That’s BS


Suicide Squad Trailer
 

Can’t bite my tongue on this one guys…

The past couple of days saw the Hollywood trade news site Deadline (owned by Jay Penske, son of billionaire Roger Penske, and owner of Variety and TVLine) report that the movie studios are considering not releasing any more footage following the “leaks” that occurred this past weekend at Comic-Con.

Deadline went even so far as to call the fans that recorded the footage “copyright-thieving weasels,”– but we guess it’s okay when a rival site like THR posts an exclusive, and then ten minutes later Deadline reports the same thing without giving credit (lol).

While Deadline doesn’t cite specific sources that state the movie studios are not considering releasing new footage, they state: “Insiders said that this breach of etiquette might carry consequences at future Comic-Cons.”

I’m going to have to call complete BS on this one, guys.

I do know that studios intentionally leak stuff themselves (such as the Man of Steel shirtless Henry Cavill set pics), and they will even leak stuff intentionally to make sure the images are of high quality and not a paparazzi shot from a distance or a low quality fan pic.

I don’t know if they leaked the Comic-Con footage, but last year’s Batman Vs. Superman leaked trailer that went viral looked pretty obvious as some guy was holding up his camera high in the air seemingly near a doorway.

Regardless what’s what, we do know leaking stuff is beneficial; so to say, for example, that “Fox might not show any more footage at the SDCC” is ridiculous as even Ryan Reynolds, at this past Comic-Con, thanked the “asshole” who first leaked the Deadpool test footage as that is why the movie is now being made and why they are all at the Con.

In Deadline’s latest article on the leaks, they state WB couldn’t keep up with all the pirates out there, so they decided to release the Suicide Squad trailer.

That’s more BS.

How do I know? About an hour following the release of the official Suicide Squad trailer, the leaked version was taken down. Obviously, WB let the leaked version stay up for the free PR (guessing millions of dollars worth), and then went with the official version. So in essence, WB gets to release the Suicide Squad trailer twice (can’t go wrong there).

It’s not like the leak hurt the number of views for the official Suicide Squad trailer as it is (probably increased them due to the hype). Last I checked, on Facebook the Suicide Squad trailer has 6.7 million views, and on YouTube it’s at 3.9 million — and that doesn’t even include views by sites that use their own player.

I’m not sure why Deadline is trying to spin this – unless it’s just to add more hype – but hey, it is working and the fans are pretty happy, which in the long run makes the studios happy.

Why so serious, guys?

Update: Ironically enough, Deadline’s sister site, Variety, releases an interview with Ryan Reynolds who states the Deadpool leak is a gift from God.
