LORD AND MILLER-NEWSFLASH
So it was only a few days ago that Big Screen Scoop was talking about how Lego Movie luminaries Phil Lord and Chris Miller were being eyed up to work on Warner Bros.’ movie version of The Flash. And well, something-something-move-fast, because they will be working on The Flash in some capacity, though it looks like they won’t be directing.
Lord and Miller will be doing a treatment for the film’s script, which considering their past output seems to be some kind of statement for the tone the film will be going for. The supposed policy of the DC characters’ movies from Warner Bros is for “no jokes” but the Flash is a more light-hearted character and if there’s one film they would be wise to suspend that (ridiculous) policy for, it would be this one.
So we’re picking up more info about this Flash film. It will star The Perks of Being A Wallflower‘s Ezra Miller, it will have no connection whatsoever to the increasingly-popular new television series, and it may or may not contain jokes. Possibly jokes about how rubbish Green Lantern is.
JOKER LETO TRANSFORMATION CONTINUES
Work is underway on the Suicide Squad movie and when director David Ayer tweeted a photo of the cast gathered together for a table read, one cast member was notably absent: Jared Leto, the man playing DC’s most iconic and terrifying villain, Polka Dot Man The Joker. Now Ayer has shown Leto all on his own, and having already seen him with his hair dyed white preparing for this role some months ago, his look is continuing to come along:
So now the hair is green, still waiting for that Joker smile to come in though. Fans will note the picture’s resemblance to the iconic image of the Joker from The Killing Joke, except um actually, the camera’s on the wrong side, so they totally got it wrong and don’t know what they’re doing. Suicide Squad will be released in August 2016 and we can await many more updates to Jared Leto’s Jokerness between now and then, perhaps adding the purple suit and make-up to the green hair and the innate creepiness of Jared Leto.
FEAST ON THE HORROR OF THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 3
If you’re the kind of person who would watch The Human Centipede 3 then you’re going to see it regardless of paltry matters like what the trailer looks like, unless the trailer were to indicate in some way that you wouldn’t be seeing people sowed to other people’s rear-ends. If you’re like all the rest of us, you will be avoiding this film like a poop-eating plague.
All the classic signs of a low-budget franchise on a downward slope are there-porn starts among the cast, doubling down on the sense of irony and commitment to being “100% politically incorrect” (how brave!), Eric Roberts, etc. People are getting sowed to other people and eating their poop though, so if that’s what you want, you’re getting it. And may God have mercy on your soul.
