Tankbuster posted:remember that all of this decade long drama started because two months before release, WB forced snyder to cut out half an hour from his 2.5 hour movie to fit in more screenings. The plot was cut out and the entire thing spiraled into the present day where snyder got one of the last spigots of unlimited netflixbux alongside del toro, Henry Cavill is EPing a 40k production with Jeff Bezos' money and DC's comics are being run by someone whose big movie made less money than the space jam sequel. i'm still surprised WoT was greenlit at all, especially after MTV shannara

tbh the trailer tells you nothing about the movie itself but I liked the 2001 tribute, it worked well it works better as an Internet Short about dolls than as a trailer for Greta Gerwig's 'BARBIE'

Spend it all on stunt guys falling off horses, rather than one crowd scene scene with sixteen thousand extras for one shot. interesting bit from George on the relationship between Hollywood productions and local companies
