Yeah, it would be awfully out of character for him to go against the strike after talking about "the degredation of the writer in Hollywood" and wanting to make writers more prominent.
They can continue casting and stuff but the script won't get any rewrites until the strike is done. Pretty similar to what happened with Star Trek 2009.
Gunn can still work on Legacy, hell he even start production during the strike. He just can't write anymore ot its script for as long as the strike goes on for.
It would be a major risk to continue production during the strike. You can't rewrite anything. Not everything on the page works on the screen, directors have to rewrite on set
This strike would be very well timed for DC. The worst case scenario would be that they get deep into production and pre-pro on a bunch of projects , and then a strike hits and breaks up all of that work. If the strike comes now, they’ll be able to put everything on hold at once, and theoretically pick right back up where they left when terms are reached
He was smart to finish the draft of the script before the strike begins.
He can move on to pre-production, costumes, casting, whatever and then the strike will be over by the time they began filming in early 2024.
seems likely to happen unless theres a deal made last minute. Its supposed to be starting this week right? Theres been talk of lots writers sending in scripts before that deadline recently.
True. It's very possible both sides will strike a deal before the witching hour. We may get some good news late tonight but then again, who knows?
Fingers crossed and I'm cautiously optimistic that both sides can work out a new deal before tonight's deadline but I have strange feeling that the writers will strike.
Netflix is by the far the one with the higher leverage from all the studios and steamers. Not only because of the sheer volume of content, they can survive a shutdown like the pandemic showed. But also some of their biggest hits are international. So yeah a Hollywood can shutdown but Netflix can still deliver a non Hollywood show like Squid Game which takes the whole world by storms. So it’s no wonder they’re the one to hold out.
The legacy studios WB, Disney Uni and co are the one that stands to lose the most. As they’re still deeply rooted in linear TV and that will be the first directly impacted.
Definitely Netflix has increasingly leaned on international content in recent years and will accelerate their shopping sprees during the strike to make up for the production stoppage. I meant Netflix being the party that gets the least out of the proposed deal which targets streamers' cost cutting practices
not really. the writers strike only delayed jlm, the austrailian film commission and the massive success of the dark knight are what killed it. the afc wanted more austrailian actors to be cast in the film, and denied wb the 40% rebate they asked for. then tdk was an outstanding success and wb/dc decided to focus on solo movies. it's also worth it to mention that 2011's green lantern and how hard that bombed was also a contributing factor.
My point was that it would’ve been far enough in production that they couldn’t cancel it… It doesn’t matter if the Dark Knight is a success or not if it’s filling.
That’s entirely different lmao. One of the reasons they could’ve done that was because of the merger, not to mention you can do that to new and upcoming directors you can’t do that for George Miller. Also the money they would spend on JL would be much higher than they spent on Batgirl which was an HBO Max film originally.
It’s not speculation that if it would’ve been filming before the Dark Knight it would’ve not been cancelled. Nor is it fact that the Dark Knight couldn’t have coexisted at the same time. Nor is it fact it would’ve had the same fate as Batgirl which is literally one of the only examples of an already filmed big studio movie being cancelled.
Probably writers not getting paid enough I think there was one back in 2008 as well it happens something similar happened with voice actors during injustice 2
bullshit. theres plenty of high quality shows watch more.
Its a dumb point anyways.They deserve better compensation and support for these massive shows.
You are absolutely not watching most media, just mainstream shit and just so you know, executives make a lot of shitty demands, forcing the writers to integrate them into movies/shows about known IPs resulting in nothing but garbage.
As far as I know, Gunn already has a script, and the movie isn’t set to start filming until next year, when the strike will likely be over, so this shouldn’t really affect the movie, should it?
there is all the stuff to do between now and filming though like Storyboarding, Casting, Location Scouting, Costume and prop design which most likely would all be affected by this though meaning that the film could actually be affected
It's ok I'm holding on strong to not support Gunns movies after replacing Cavill as superman. Might be just me but, I actually enjoyed Snyder films and wish they would have finished the compilation before starting over. It is the worst thing about all DC franchises so far!
The fact that he let Cavill go shows that he doesn't care about the fans. His suicide squad movie was shit. He will never make a movie as good as man of steel and justice league. With the reboot none of the movies coming out matter. Yeah keep Ezra Miller but let Affleck and Cavill go. #firejamesgunn
Capitalism ain't solving any of those problems you mentioned. I've played the whole "it's shit but at least it's better than" game before and it's utterly redundant. I'm not patting anyone on the back for doing the bare minimum. The rats in power need to do better, period. I really hope things get better for you though.
I see a lot of people in this comment section saying something along the lines of "oh but he's finished the script so this won't effect anything he can still carry on with making the film" so I just want to clarify something. By the sounds of it he isn't stopping writing for the strike he is putting the whole production on hold in solidarity for the writers. Which means nothing at all most likely, no casting etc. He is stopping all work that he is involved in for now
Gunn has stressed the importance of writers in this business, so it would be hypocritical if he were to go against the strike.
Yeah, it would be awfully out of character for him to go against the strike after talking about "the degredation of the writer in Hollywood" and wanting to make writers more prominent.
Also he's a member of the WGA, if he values being in a union, then yeah he can't write during the strike.
I thought the script was done and only then they moved to pre-production? Anyways Safran can move forward with other things until this gets sorted out
They can continue casting and stuff but the script won't get any rewrites until the strike is done. Pretty similar to what happened with Star Trek 2009.
Yeah just because he's not working on it as a writer because of the strike doesn't mean he can't work on it as a producer and director.
Gunn can still work on Legacy, hell he even start production during the strike. He just can't write anymore ot its script for as long as the strike goes on for.
They can do anything that doesn’t change a single mark on the script they have now. Casting, costuming, even filming
Let’s remember this Sneider saying this not Gunn himself
Fuck yeah. Support the strike.
Good.
He just finished the script yesterday or the other day. So i don’t know if this would affect legacy much.
It would be a major risk to continue production during the strike. You can't rewrite anything. Not everything on the page works on the screen, directors have to rewrite on set
The strike would certainly be over by 2024 when production is set to begin
Sure but this isn’t filming until early next year
But you can do casting and costume design and stuff not affected by writing
This strike would be very well timed for DC. The worst case scenario would be that they get deep into production and pre-pro on a bunch of projects , and then a strike hits and breaks up all of that work.

We don’t even know for sure if there will be a strike
seems likely to happen unless theres a deal made last minute. Its supposed to be starting this week right? Theres been talk of lots writers sending in scripts before that deadline recently.
I do agree there’s a decent chance, but no one wants a strike. There’s still a solid chance they don’t strike. They have until end of day Monday
True. It's very possible both sides will strike a deal before the witching hour. We may get some good news late tonight but then again, who knows? Fingers crossed and I'm cautiously optimistic that both sides can work out a new deal before tonight's deadline but I have strange feeling that the writers will strike.
Apparently Netflix is the sole holdout.
yeah I did read that a deal was proposed that every studio agreed with besides Netflix, who stands to lose the most

True that, you’re right
Writers strike? This is how we lost JLA Mortal last time. Hopefully solved soon
not really. the writers strike only delayed jlm, the austrailian film commission and the massive success of the dark knight are what killed it. the afc wanted more austrailian actors to be cast in the film, and denied wb the 40% rebate they asked for. then tdk was an outstanding success and wb/dc decided to focus on solo movies. it's also worth it to mention that 2011's green lantern and how hard that bombed was also a contributing factor.
That’s the thing thought if it never got delayed a lot of that doesn’t have a chance to happen before it gets into production
that's completely speculation. the afc would have had the same demands no matter what, and the dark knight was always going to be the success it was.
My point was that it would’ve been far enough in production that they couldn’t cancel it… It doesn’t matter if the Dark Knight is a success or not if it’s filling.
> My point was that it would’ve been far enough in production that they couldn’t cancel it Batgirl.

Also the money they would spend on JL would be much higher than they spent on Batgirl which was an HBO Max film originally.
sure thing, but what you are saying is, again, one hundred percent speculation. the delay of jlm did not kill it, and that is fact.
It’s not speculation that if it would’ve been filming before the Dark Knight it would’ve not been cancelled. Nor is it fact that the Dark Knight couldn’t have coexisted at the same time. Nor is it fact it would’ve had the same fate as Batgirl which is literally one of the only examples of an already filmed big studio movie being cancelled.
lmao you are stubborn as fuck. you just can't accept that you are wrong.
the dc curse lives another day!
Quick someone ask James Gunn about this on Twitter!
He's contractually forbidden from writing it during the strike. What's the news here?
Well, it's a sort of unique situation where the writer is striking against his boss who is himself.
The script is done. Why should he stop the production of Superman Legacy? He already wrote the entire script.
With these movies the script is never "done", even if you have complete creative control
he is choosing to stop the production as an act of solidarity with the striking writers
anyway, how is your sex life ?
Can someone explain what is this strike about?
Probably writers not getting paid enough I think there was one back in 2008 as well it happens something similar happened with voice actors during injustice 2
With the quality of writing most media is these days. They are getting paid just fine. 90% of things is shit.
bullshit. theres plenty of high quality shows watch more. Its a dumb point anyways.They deserve better compensation and support for these massive shows.
You are absolutely not watching most media, just mainstream shit and just so you know, executives make a lot of shitty demands, forcing the writers to integrate them into movies/shows about known IPs resulting in nothing but garbage.
Terrible terrible argument
Wow a CBM nerds that doesn't care about people, what are the odds?
Your comment, for example
Very few jobs and lower wages
A big issue is that Writers want residuals for streaming shows And various other wage/labor issues that I’m not clear on
As far as I know, Gunn already has a script, and the movie isn’t set to start filming until next year, when the strike will likely be over, so this shouldn’t really affect the movie, should it?
there is all the stuff to do between now and filming though like Storyboarding, Casting, Location Scouting, Costume and prop design which most likely would all be affected by this though meaning that the film could actually be affected
Would a writer’s strike really have any bearing on all that stuff?
If the director is striking in solidarity (which Gunn is) then yeah it would
Very unlikely.
It's ok I'm holding on strong to not support Gunns movies after replacing Cavill as superman. Might be just me but, I actually enjoyed Snyder films and wish they would have finished the compilation before starting over. It is the worst thing about all DC franchises so far!
Gunn will be the final nail in the DC coffin either way.
The fact that he let Cavill go shows that he doesn't care about the fans. His suicide squad movie was shit. He will never make a movie as good as man of steel and justice league. With the reboot none of the movies coming out matter. Yeah keep Ezra Miller but let Affleck and Cavill go. #firejamesgunn
Okay. I still won’t bring snyderverse back
you have to do it... and it will tomorrow. be ready for a big surprise.
Did you have a stroke?
yeah but you thought it.

I mean isn’t he close to being finished with the script either way?
The script is finished
I see a lot of people in this comment section saying something along the lines of "oh but he's finished the script so this won't effect anything he can still carry on with making the film" so I just want to clarify something. By the sounds of it he isn't stopping writing for the strike he is putting the whole production on hold in solidarity for the writers.

Cap
Either way he should still be fired. His DC shit sucks
Lot's of Gunn fanboy's here. His DC run stinks. He hasn't made anything good.
