Warner Bros. Denies Plans to Release Zack Snyder’s JUSTICE LEAGUE Cut, Or Any Other Alternate Versions
Ever since Justice League hit theaters last year, fans have campaigned tirelessly for Warner Bros. to release Zack Snyder’s original cut of the movie. We don’t need to go into detail here on how WB was unsatisfied with Snyder’s cut, how Joss Whedon changed things, and how the film lost money for the studio. Then there are the debates on whether Snyder’s cut actually exists, and if so, in what condition. Well, regardless of that, we shouldn’t expect it to be released. The Wall Street Journal has published a story on the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement, interviewing fans behind it and offering some background details. The site has confirmed with Warner Bros. that…

Joaquin Phoenix’s JOKER Gets a 2019 Release Date
Things are moving very quickly on Warner Bros.’ Joker origin movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips. Now, we have confirmation on both a title and release date. Per THR, the film – simply titled Joker – is set to hit theaters on October 4th, 2019. The movie begins production in September, so this will be a fast turnaround for a comic book film. Then again, the budget is only $55 million, meaning that it can use less post-production time than movies with 3-4 times that budget. Joker will go up against Gemini Man and The Woman in the Window on its date, with movies like Dwayne Johnson’s Jungle…

Will Shazam Meet the Justice League in Future DC Films?
It’s no secret by now that Shazam! takes place in DC Films’ shared universe, which includes Justice League and more movies. While Shazam! is said to be a standalone story, fans have expect some sort of crossover eventually. Henry Cavill’s Superman has been rumored to cameo, while a slew of other DC references are being made. But could Shazam join the Justice League one day? Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that there are “tentative” plans for Shazam’s future in the DC Films Universe, which may or may not include him meeting members of the Justice League. Producer Peter Safran merely says that he “wouldn’t be surprised” since it’s all the same world, while…

Netflix Sets First Slate of Millarworld Movies and Shows
Last year, Netflix acquired comic book creator Mark Millar’s company, Millarworld. The streaming service intends to create original movies and shows that are based on Millar’s work. Now, we have an initial slate. Netflix has announced (via The Hollywood Reporter) that two shows and three movies based on Millarworld creations have been ordered. These five projects make up the first slate of the new deal, which is worth somewhere between $30-50 million. Millar says, “My wife Lucy and I are 11 months into our jobs at Netflix and it’s everything we hoped for to the power of 10.” The first series is Jupiter’s Legacy, which is being showrun by Daredevil‘s…

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Heading to Home Video This Fall
While Solo: A Star Wars Story did well with critics, the film was anything but spectacular at the box office. The movie, which had a production budget between $250 million and $300 million (if not more), only grossed $212 million domestically and $385 million worldwide. These are really bad numbers for a Star Wars movie, especially with a massive budget. There’s still hope that home video sales will give it a boost, and now, we know when that will happen. It has been announced that Solo is heading to digital platforms on September 14th, before going to 4K, Blu-Ray and DVD on September 25th. The home video release will have the…

It has been announced that Sam Witwer has joined the cast of Supergirl as a series regular for this season. (Shout out to Discussing Film for breaking the news earlier.) He will play Agent Liberty, who is described as “…the founder and figurehead of the Children of Liberty – a hate group that supports a human-first world order. Ruthless and terrifying, the scariest thing about Agent Liberty might be just how easily he can convince you that he’s in the…

LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Won’t Be Part of the Next Arrowverse Crossover
Fans were excited to hear that this year’s annual Arrowverse crossover event will center around Batwoman and Gotham City. In fact, Batwoman is going to be the star of her own series soon. However, it looks like one show won’t be part of the event. According to Entertainment Weekly, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is sitting out this year’s crossover. The event will consist of Supergirl, Arrow, and The Flash. No reason why Legends will be absent. It’s also unclear if this rules out any Legends characters in the event or just its episode that week. In 2016 and 2017, The CW crossed over all four shows for epic crossover events.…
