Ben Affleck Says No To Directing DC Movies Under New Studio Head James Gunn
Actor Ben Affleck says he won’t direct any DC movies under new studio head James Gunn — despite previous plans to direct a Batman film after donning the crusader’s cape himself.
In an interview published by The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, Affleck stated his position. He said that doing is what he believes in. “Justice League” He had a new perspective on superhero movies in general. “the most monstrous taste” He puts it in his mouth.
“You could teach a seminar on all the reasons why this is how not to do it,” Affleck spoke about making “Justice League. “The experience ranged from production to poor decisions, personal tragedy, and ending with the most disgusting taste in my stomach. The genius, and the silver lining, is that Zack Snyder eventually went to AT&T and was like, ‘Look, I can get you four hours of content.'”
Affleck continued to state that the extra “content” Snyder had provided was mostly slow motion he had shot in black-and-white — along with one day when Affleck says they shot in Snyder’s backyard.
“He was like, ‘Do you want to come shoot in my backyard?’ I was like, ‘I think there are unions, Zack. I think we have to make a deal.’ But I went and did it. And now [Zack Snyder’s Justice League] is my highest-rated movie on IMDb,” He stated.
“Retroactively, it’s a hit. All of a sudden I was getting congratulated for the bomb I’m in,” Affleck added that his experience on “Justice League” That was the reason he decided not to direct Batman films. “[It] made me go, ‘I’m out. I never want to do any of this again. I’m not suited.’ That was the worst experience I’ve ever seen in a business which is full of some sh***y experiences. It broke my heart.”
Adding, “You want to go to work and find something interesting to hang onto, rather than just wearing a rubber suit, and most of it you’re just standing against the computer screen going, ‘If this nuclear waste gets loose, we’ll …'”
Affleck refused to be asked if he’d ever consider returning to direct a DC film. “I would not direct something for the [James] Gunn DC. Absolutely not,” He stated. “I have nothing against James Gunn. Nice guy, sure he’s going to do a great job. I just wouldn’t want to go in and direct in the way they’re doing that. I’m not interested in that.”
