    The article headline contradicts the article, which states multiple companies did see it and made offers that apparently were not high enough to meet the arbitrary floor that the Warner Brothers executive who did not see the movie had set.

    People like Zazlov or whatever his name is can’t accept being wrong so there is zero chance of the movie ever coming out as long as he is in charge, even if someone offered more.

      IIRC, it was decided it was going to be an insurance loss/payout, even though it is an allegedly good movie.

    I hold out that one day this will get released or rather leaked. I hope it hasn’t been deleted.

    The closet we’ll get to seeing at right now is this crew reel showing off the hard work that went into bringing the Looney Tunes world to live action.

    The fact the Zaslev et. al. are over DC Studios led by James Gunn is frightening in an existential way. Non-risk-takers, while understandable in a CEO, doesn’t produce great, it tends toward the average.

    Not only that, but this pathetic, grasping scheme of letting creatives make something and shit-canning it for a tax write-off is going to lose trust for the studio, and they will only have access to lesser, or mechanical, for-profit filmmakers.

      that would achieve their goal
