Since Warner Bros. and DC Studios greenlit Clayface, the name most heavily associated with the project has been writer Mike Flanagan. Yet in a recent interview, the filmmaker who originally pitched and wrote the DCU’s first horror movie stressed that his involvement ended much earlier than some fans might expect.
Supergirl screenwriter Ana Nogueira recently told Variety that she doesn’t understand past iterations of the character — especially those that emphasized optimism. “I can’t get my head around the version of the character that is so sunny,” she told the outlet.
After months of speculation about the financial outcome of James Gunn’s Superman, a new report from Forbes has made the situation plain: the film reportedly did not recoup costs during its theatrical run.
While writer Tim Lammers stops short of using the word “flop,” his own math makes it clear that Superman lost money in theaters — and Warner Bros. is now depending on digital and streaming sales to fill the gap.
James Gunn might be calling fans “racists,” but it turns out audiences are calling him something else entirely: irrelevant. The new season of Peacemaker — once hailed as the bridge to Gunn’s new DC Universe — is flopping so hard in the ratings that it’s not even charting on streaming.
James Gunn called fans “racists” in a recent interview while admitting that he has no oversight from WB on DCU projects.
James Gunn seemingly can’t help himself. The man who was hired to “save” DC has instead made himself its unofficial mascot — and not in a good way. Every announcement, every casting, every costume reveal, every social media fight… there he is. Gunn has wedged himself into every facet of the DCU, and audiences are starting to notice.
After disabling the “Peaceful Hips” emote earlier this week, Epic Games has issued a formal clarification alongside Warner Bros. Games. In their statement, Epic stressed that there was “no creative intention” to tie the Fortnite emote to any of the World War 2-era German themes revealed in Peacemaker Season 2.
James Gunn might be making Warner Bros more and more uncomfortable with Peacemaker Season 2, but they're not the only ones. After an episode that has John Cena dancing in a way that harkens to symbolism of World War II era Germany, Fortnite has pulled the dance from...
Now, five years later, the dispute has shifted again. After Rowling told fans she would “never forgive” Radcliffe or Watson for what she views as betrayal, Watson has spoken publicly with a softer, more reflective tone — one that stands in sharp contrast to her early comments. This comes as attacks and threats against the authors life have intensified amid growing political violence.
James Gunn isn’t just overseeing Batman and the future of DC Studios — it seems as though he’s shaping it in ways that go beyond the usual role of a studio head.
The dust hadn’t even started to settle after Skydance’s merger with Paramount Studios when news broke that Skydance CEO David Ellison had set his sights on buying a second legacy studio, this time, Warner Brothers (WB).
But the sale of WB might be something that Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David Zaslav has been orchestrating for some time. Ellison’s interest, however, is probably an unexpected twist.
In a move that could shake Hollywood to its very foundations, Paramount Skydance is reportedly preparing a cash-backed bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. If successful, this would combine two of the largest names in film, television, and streaming under one roof—an entertainment juggernaut unlike anything the industry has seen in decades.
Horror movies keep most people awake at night, but since the latest film in The Conjuring Universe just took over the box office, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav is probably sleeping just fine.
