WB is perhaps the most reactionary company on Earth. They have no idea of the gold mine that they're sitting on. The moment they get something going that's the slightest bit successful, they get cold feet. There is a difference between keeping things in budget, and meddling with the artistic vision of the film. So far, WB can't seem to distinguish between the two.
@Batfan Talon Oh, yeah. Don't get me wrong, Batfan. I love DC just as much as the next guy. Same goes for Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, IDW, Valiant, Dynamite, and Crossgen Comics. It's just that WB has more iconic characters than arguably anyone else. And all they do is just dip their toe in the water, when they need to be going in feet first, at least. They need to take a chance, and get people who know the material, and want to work on said material.
They really should just let directors have control of the character or set of movies they want to direct. There should be more standalone movies from dc cause like you said, they are sitting on a goldmine. They can do anything, and they have the characters. Forget being marvel.
Guillermo del Toro is probably one of the directors I feel the most bad for. Having tens of Unmade projects (especially ones that could've launched him into pop-culture superstardom with The Hobbit) must take a toll on you. I would probably die just to see del Toro's Frankenstein & Hobbit Dualogy's.
I really hope james gunn in the future gives del torro a chance to make a justice league dark film again, or even some of the other members like swamp thing, Deadman, etrigan, etc.
This man has created some of the best modern horror and fantasy films; it would be incredible to see his magic brought to the DC universe. They need this level of film-making to really do justice to the materiel--I can only imagine him doing Swamp Thing (the Moore version, of course) ----or Sandman.
It’s a shame they already use a lot of that stuff from those projects for other thing’s like the supermax thing was season 5 of Arrow, it appears they’re taking elements of year one for the new Batman movie, and I’m starting to think they took Del Torro’s ideas for JLD and used them poorly in Constantine and Swamp Thing, not to mention the recent announcement of the Zatanna show for HBO Max.
Can you guys do a video on George Lucas' intended sequel trilogy? I don't know how much information is available about it but he had a whole sequel planned out about what he called "the wills", the being essentially responsible for the force and the greater war that they were facing. It sounded like an awesome trilogy and I think a Supervoid Cinema video is the perfect place to explore that more!
Hearing Guillermo Del Toro talk about this project with so much enthusiasm makes me sad that this filme never got made, his Justice League Dark movie would have been fantastic! The whole script was clearly based on Swamp Thing #50 and that is incredible, the only thing I find weird is that Spectre wasn't in it. Colin Farrell as John Constantine, Ewan McGregor as Jason Blood/Etrigan, Monica Bellucci as Madame Xanadu and Ron Perlman as Swamp Thing are pretty awesome castings, other perfect castings would be Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Zatanna and Woody Harrelson as Deadman.
Between Swamp Thing and the Constantine connections, Shadowpact, Vertigo era stories, and then what now is Justice League Dark, there's a big history of what to use for these characters. One day I hope this project will be realized in full. It's such a shame Del Toro's enthusiasm is halted on so many of his IP centric ventures.
I’m not a real big Del Toro fan. I think he’s overrated and very situational but I do love a lot of movies he’s done but I think that’s because he fits the material. As a big DC, swamp thing, Constantine fan I was really looking forward to this. There’s so many awesome characters that you can pull out of Batman and superman’s shadow for that movie. There’s a couple pretty great animated films that give you a teaser for what this could’ve been. I hope it’s still in development hell and maybe it’ll get done some day. By the way, Matt Ryan needs to play Constantine for the foreseeable future. Sorry Matt, you’re just too good and perfect for the role
@PixelMagic! Happy that Synder got to butcher DC Heroes even further with his BS movie? How and why would he put Martian Manhunter in the movie and not have help in the fight?
@@TheInfamousWolf martian manhunter wasn't supposed to be there in ZSJL. It was John Stewart GL. WB told Zack to remove him and place martian manhunter. John Stewart was going to join the JL in Zack's JL2. And Zack never butcherd superheroes. He just showed how they will act in the modern day world where mercy and being naive doesn't work.
Makes you feel sad listening to the first 5 minutes of the interview. He seemed so sure and praised WB for finally finding their flow and tone. The fact DC/WB is still a mess makes me glad he didn't have to go through that mess. great video you have a like and subscriber.
To celebrate the release of Godzilla vs King Kong, do you consider doing Peter Jackson's first attempt of remaking the original 1933 King Kong starring George Clooney as Jack Driscoll, Kate Winslet as Ann Darrow, Robert De Niro or Jack Nicholson (runner-up) as Carl Denham, and Ernie Hudson as Ben Hayes.
Hell no. Kevin let people make all the story calls prior to all the inclusion and what the movie stands for rather than being a good movie crap. Kf took full creative control when riri Williams . ms marvel. The marvels. The mighty thor. . Echo. All came about. That's Kevin's new process Grabbing characters that can't hold the film or series up by themselves by adding already massive popular team up . and worst of all making movies out of failed comic runs. .
Although personally I find the script described here as bloated, nothing (and I mean NOTHING) is worse than a project ending up at Abrams' Bad Robot 😱😖🤦♂️
Has JJ done anything in the last, say, 10 years that is anything other than mediocre? I mean there’s many more people who could do it better but I guess he has the right connections because he gets these IPs thrown at him non stop. It’s too bad
I don't even bother with DC movie announcements anymore unless it's animated or video games. They always cancel cool projects, Hell they recently cancelled New Gods. Even Sony is more competent than them at this point.
Man, I would love to have seen something like this! I also wanted to see Del Toro's take on Constantine as Keanu Reeves announced over a year ago that he would like to reprise the role and Del Toro was in talks to direct, but nothing has moved forward.
@@mikehall7189 Hollywood won’t do him right. He is too edgy for most audiences at least that’s what Hollywood thinks. Look at iron man his movie version is super pg compared to the comics. The first Iron man was very close but after that they made him child friendly.
Honestly kind of a tragedy that WB isn't tapping into the magic/horror/vertigo side of DC, when (imo) it's a lot stronger than that side of Marvel. But the way WB leadership is, they'll just keep trying to compete with Marvel on mainstream superhero and cosmic movies X P
It would have been interesting seeing the Justice League Dark movie. Wish the DCEU did good but it would be nice seeing the Flash movie originally releasing in 2018, the Green Lantern and Cyborg movie for last year, Ben Affleck's Batman movie, the Man of Steel sequel, and the Justice League sequel.
I must admit, this sounds good, so more different than the run of the mill superheroes we've been getting over the last 10 years or so, excluding Dr strange
Mind kidzag you ever heard about oliver stones elktra script from the 90s that I belive would of been rated r and would of had typhoid Mary as the main antagonist and it would of elktra have a female. Love intrest I belive
At least we’re still getting that Justice League Dark show on HBO Max, and a Constantine Show to tie into it. I’m just upset that it won’t be from Del Toro
And they're both being made by JJ Abrams. Brilliant decision there. Oh, and let's not forget that they have to emphasize the fact that this verison of Constantine will be a "younger, non-white" version of the character. Really hate white people huh WB? Abrams is the prime example of a filmmaker who focuses more on being "diverse" then actually being respectful to the source material.
@@Reprodestruxion so what Del Toro's Mexican? It doesn't matter. Del Toro knows how to deliver something comic-accruate. He loves both comic books and manga and knows how to be faithful to them. Plus, it was revealed that Del Toro actually wanted to cast Matt Ryan, a white actor, for the part because he loved his performance in the show, the race didn't matter. Also, love how you're insulting me for not liking this shitty casting they're doing with Constantine, even though it's acrually very racist. When you cast a non-white actor in a previously white role, or a woman in a role that used to belong to a man, you spread the message that they can't hold a movie or show on their own and that they need to piggy-back off a white man character in order to succeed. It's a very condescending and pitying form of racism, which is what I notice that people in Hollywood do "you can't succeed on your own because the world is always after you, so we gotta hold your hand". I've seen non-white people make this exact same criticism about racebending. People want to see characters like Icon and Static Shock have time to shine, as they're actually characters that were created TO BE NON-WHITE. Seeing them would actually be empowering . But just making token versions of previously existing characters? That's just lazy and just racist as all fuck. But then again, of course you'd support it, cause you're the same kind of condescending racist that calls anyone "far-right" who sees through the bullshit. Del Toro wouldn't be doing this kind of shit. I don't support Republicans or Democrats, so don't act like you know me, you bigot.
@@gamemediafan1714 and no I don’t care if Shang Qi is played by a Caucasian as long as it’s cast by an actor really into kung fu like Jeffrey Falcon instead the latest envogue British actor
With the unceremonious cancellation of the TV Constantine if the Justice League Dark film is made I would prefer it to be Matt Ryan reprising the character.
JOBLO Video has done a series of videos titled: The Movie that Almost Was, where it shows us movies that were cancelled or shelved due to creative differences with Studios and Directors.
Love the video, very informative, You pronounced Guillermo better than I ever seem to, however (lol) I do need to offer some advice when talking about John Constantine, He is a "Scouser" as in mouse or house, you say the S as an S not as a Z as in Dougie Howser. Not an attack or me being snobbish, just that I near fell off the toilet when You called him a ScowZer, lol
Damn that sucks that this movie was canceled cause I would’ve loved to see a justice league dark movie, especially with Guillermo Del Toro attached to the project, as well as Dan Stevens as John Constantine and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Jason Blood and also with the badass design for Swamp Thing, I feel like this would’ve been a great movie in my opinion
Excellent video! Hey will you make a video about the early attempts of making the American Godzilla remakes that never ended up getting made in the near future?
@@OvertheHedge06 They are probably using Flashpoint to "soft-reboot" there universe and create multiple universe e.g Reeves' Batman and DC Black. I think if well executed it would make it better.
I think Constantine should be a side character to the Justice League Dark, or just stick with a solo film or Tv series. They make him overly powerful in team ups (almost to a Dr.Strange level), and I don't like him portrayed like that.
I love Guillermo del Toro as a director! I would love to see a Justice League Dark movie. He just make's creature movies like no other. And nobody appreciates Hell Boy 2! That movie was awesome!
How I imagine Saturday morning cartoons & such as a child. The real deal so to speak considering we are referring to insanity as a general population instead of solitude.
I have been posting about this animated movie and Constantine City of demons on several comic book channels for a while. Horror and magic is one of the best things DC has going for it. I dont understand why they dont capitalize on it. Been reading and collecting comics since the early 70's Yes I'm that old. I'm really digging Doom Patrol. It feels more DC than most of the movies.
Great video. Although i have all the confidence Del Toro could have made a cool film this script seems a bit of a dud, it would make a good animated feature but it's super generic, and i'm sure you've tried your best to bring it to life.
Constantine isn't just a womanizer, he is a manizer as well. He is either a great example on a bi character that is written great. Merlin is either Etrigan half-brother. After New52 Trigon became his grandfather and thus Raven (yeah the Teen Titans character) is his half-aunt. Trigon's son is Golgotha, whom's mother is called Smegma. Madame Xanadu aka Nimue Inwudu is sister of Morgaine le Fey. In New52 John Dee aka Doctor Destiny is her son, but no longer is since CD Rebirth. Some ideas after Del Toro left r very awful ideas.
This would've been great. I hope Guillermo del Toro does a live action version of The Sentinels Of Magic, who I want to see more than The Justice League Dark.
WB is perhaps the most reactionary company on Earth. They have no idea of the gold mine that they're sitting on. The moment they get something going that's the slightest bit successful, they get cold feet. There is a difference between keeping things in budget, and meddling with the artistic vision of the film.

@Batfan Talon Yes. With the way that Todd has gotten a hold of the license to sell DC Comics action figures, that could be a possibility.

I have been posting about this animated movie and Constantine City of demons on several comic book channels for a while. Horror and magic is one of the best things DC has going for it. I dont understand why they dont capitalize on it. Been reading and collecting comics since the early 70's Yes I'm that old. I'm really digging Doom Patrol. It feels more DC than most of the movies.
Great video. Although i have all the confidence Del Toro could have made a cool film this script seems a bit of a dud, it would make a good animated feature but it's super generic, and i'm sure you've tried your best to bring it to life.
Since we're on the subject of Justice League, how about a video on Justice League Mortal?
Constantine isn't just a womanizer, he is a manizer as well. He is either a great example on a bi character that is written great.
Merlin is either Etrigan half-brother. After New52 Trigon became his grandfather and thus Raven (yeah the Teen Titans character) is his half-aunt. Trigon's son is Golgotha, whom's mother is called Smegma.
Madame Xanadu aka Nimue Inwudu is sister of Morgaine le Fey. In New52 John Dee aka Doctor Destiny is her son, but no longer is since CD Rebirth.
Some ideas after Del Toro left r very awful ideas.
Supervoid cinema Ron Perlman would honestly fit the role of swamp thing if you think about it
Perfect casting.
@@SupervoidCinema yeah and I'd imagine it would be Luke goss as fluronic man most likely
I like most of it, still needs a bit of emotion
Who do you think would make a good Constantine these days I’d have to go with Tom hiddleston or maybe even more Daniel Craig
The DCU has far more better stories than the Marvel Universe but we will never see any of them
They need to stop trying to be Marvel (in MCU sense) and just be their own. So many great projects abandoned for bullshit reasons.
Thank you
He would be so great for a Doom Patrol movie come on WB.
I would've loved to see a animated Doom Patrol movie in the style of the original comic series
"Dark universe" is a title best not chosen for cinema apparently. Lol
You can make a second channel from all of del toros cancel projects
Geoff John’s 2013: no characters from the dc films will appear in the tv universe. Cough crisis on infinite earths cough cough
They fight a fucking weed monster, we were robbed
Guillermo del toro is the Stephen King of dark fantasy movies
Sheer madness they passed on this
This would've been great. I hope Guillermo del Toro does a live action version of The Sentinels Of Magic, who I want to see more than The Justice League Dark.
Guillermo Del Toros JL Dark, George Miller Justice League and Green Arrow would have made fantastic movies. Just sucks that they weren’t made
There was Swamp Thing series that was 1 season on HBO Max & CW
I love your videos.
Fantastic video !!! Just fyi, its Scouser (like mouser) S not z 😁
