James Gunn Superman Wraps Early

[@syamilshazlan862]

“This is why we wrapped on Superman a year before release and why they’ve been hard at work on many shots for months before that,” Gunn posted on Threads on August 18. “This is why we start heartily editing during the shoot. It’s why I prepare so vigorously and why we only shoot finished screenplays. And Supergirl, which I’m not directing, is being handled the same way. I can’t praise the VFX artists that help us create magic enough.” “If you do some research you’ll see my films have always taken a different approach and I’ve always given my VFX artist-collaborators time to do their jobs properly, and the respect they deserve,” Gunn wrote over the weekend. “And the quality of the VFX in those films is uniformly great because of it (and because my friends at Weta and Framestore and ILM and more are amazingly talented).”

I don't know why people think superman movie wrapped filming early it was the whole 4 month long

[@dannyr2976]

Well, compared to Superman: The Movie, which was 18 months! 🤣

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@sufyanshaikh3931 he has wrapped early compared to other films. And given himself a lot of time for postproduction. That’s what I’m saying. I think it’s a good thing.

[@comixof2morrow]

​@@Superfitcosplay, I disagree, I don't think it's a good thing. I think it proves what I've been saying all along. I believe this is somewhat of a scam in a way. A tax right off so they don't lose the rights to these characters. They haven't had a solo Superman film in a long time (2013). If they don't make a film they could lose the rights. They don't actually have to even release the film to keep the rights as long as contracts are signed or renegotiated. This type of thing is not common but it has happened before. They make a cheap film and don't release it and write it off on taxes to get a bunch of money and keep the rights by resigning. Definitely explains the cheap suits and early wrap up if filming.

[@UltimateKyuubiFox]

@@comixof2morrowYou’re just living in a different reality. It’s not that they wrapped filming early. It’s that they started shooting early. Superman comes out the same month as Fantastic Four. Superman started filming this February. Fantastic Four only starts filming this month. That should tell you easily Marvel’s the one doing the rush job.

I've said this on another video about this topic and that is that this is such a boss move. Not a whole lot of folks could do a ginormous undertaking like this and not have any reahoots. Not just this film but his last three movies have needed no major reshoots. That is very encouraging. Dude has a very firm grasp on his craft.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@doc8013 I agree. It’s definitely a statement and I’m so excited to see what he does.

He sucks. He's just going to make another superhero spoof that makes fun of its audience. 'firm grasp on his craft' 😂 Cooking turd sandwiches and feeding them to people who actually enjoy them.

Still not sure it will be a good or bad movie, but I'm anxious to see how Gunn has Superman fly. So far, all I've seen is pics of David Corenswet flying low to the ground, and taking off with a face that makes Superman look constipated. Lol

I believe Singer had some incredible Superman imagery. Some fantastic underrated shots in Superman Returns. I’m unsure if Gunn has the ability to make grand cinematic visuals that the Superman character needs

[@Superfitcosplay]

[@Fiveash-Art]

It's going to be shlock like all his other movies.

[@AtomicBuffalo]

After this film was greenlit, the studios' relationship with and public perception of VFX houses/artists has changed dramatically. The old estimates of what the VFX would cost and how long it would take are likely now low & short.

[@Superfitcosplay]

Oh that’s interesting

[@suthan9504]

I can't comment until we all see the movie.... So until than. We all can assume n speculate n still we don't know how it's going to turn out. So we can only hope.. It will b spectacular

[@dennishunter6646]

Hey brother, big fan of your reviews! Maybe I haven’t noticed yet, but do you ever change out your Superman cosplay suits in your background? If you do, I just haven’t noticed yet. Anyway, I know it’s a random question, but just wanted to ask. I hope you are doing well and have a wonderful day! Superman Rocks!!!

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@dennishunter6646 I don’t really. I changed this one just because I sold the other one. But I might start doing that.

[@Fusermano]

Lets hope that no reshoots works well for the film. I know there are a lot of fans that are not 100 % on board at the moment. Hopefully that will change once a teaser trailer is released. I'm sure that the suit will look different on screen and we'll get a small taste of the movie. Great video man!

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@Fusermano I think a teaser is going to change the minds of a lot of people

You may not believe it but I am kind of an anthropologist myself and when I see a person, I can see their potential and what they can do. I believe James Gunn and David Corensvet will make a great movie.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@Ed83295 I’m very excited to see what they do

[@Mahleks]

I'm very curious now. I mean we've seen a lot of behind the scenes photos/footage, but it all seemed to be in the same location. I mean we've not even seen Lex yet! (Least I haven't).

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@Mahleks I think the photos that were leaked were leaked very much on purpose. And I think that we haven’t seen anything else is a choice.

[@ChrisS-no3ft]

Practical practical practical! Go back to the basics. Use harnesses, and use the camera creatively. I dont need to see a CGI fest of Superman zipping by, obviously CGI. When Christopher Reeve floated down onto Margot Kidder’s high rise patio, it was slow and graceful. And then instead of taking off like a bolt of lightning, he drifts into the sky, his cape fluttering in the wind. THAT is what I want to see. Let us take in Superman. Let us see him fly. Yes, he’s faster than a speeding bullet, but remember, you can put the camera in front of him, and put a background rushing behind him, his fists facing us. A more traditional approach.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@ChrisS-no3ft I agree. A more traditional approach would be amazing to see

[@dannyr2976]

Gunn is speaking my language here! When I had initially read this, thought to myself 'This seems like somebody incredibly meticulous...' Here's hoping all this stringent work pays off!

I don't have too much to say about this, but commenting to help the channel. I've enjoyed the Guardians movies, but looking at the other movies he did, it looks like that is about it. Suicide Squad was very Guardians like and honestly I didn't love SS like I did Guardians. Scooby Doo 1 and 2... meh. Slither.. Meh. Super.. no thanks. So I don't know. We'll see. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but my excitement is very low.

What is the big deal if it wraps early. Gunn knows what he is doing. Why are the snowflake fanboys and girls always complaining ?!!! come up with millions and go make your own movie !!!

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@boombasett6038 have you actually watched the video or are you just assuming that about some thing that came to your mind based off of what you think? I think it’s great that he’s wrapped it a year early to focus on the effects.

[@leehumphreys6615]

I believe I read somewhere that James Gunn is not going to do any reshoots whatsoever, and what he has done is locked in and kept the same. Which is actually pretty good in my opinion, because reshoots are where things in movies tend to be kind of iffy. But it was actually a great choice to have this Superman movie production wrapped early, because if James Gunn and his VFX team is focusing on visuals and special effects, then he may actually make "Super" (no pun intended lol) great quality effects. I think he kind of learned that it's quality over quantity. Which is a great thing or idea for movie making, in my opinion.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@leehumphreys6615 I think I saw that too. It’s an interesting choice and I think good because it won’t muddy the waters.

[@leehumphreys6615]

@@Superfitcosplay That is very true.

[@MartyMillerDesign]

Aside from the original Chris Reeve epic, none of the other new films really captured the flying in a majestic and awesome way. Superman Returns had some great shots but the reliance on digital doubles and some pretty lame flying shots, for me, didnt capture the majestic quality STM gave us, regardless of now dated techniques. Man of Steel, again with some iconic shots , gave us flying that was virtually like a speeding bullet in most shots. I watched part 4 of Hulk vs Superman the other day. A low rez 3d animation that showed some very cool camera moves and flying scenes. I want to believe a man can fly like I felt when I first saw STM. Of all the characters brought to the screen, Superman is the one character you need to focus on for his flying. That scene in STM when he drops Lois off on the roof of the Daily Planet and she asks who are you, and he replies, ''A Friend'' and gracefully flies off. NO compositing, no green green. Imagine if he took of like Snyders Superman ? I just pray to the FX gods and the creative team that they again, make us believe a man can fly.

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@MartyMillerDesign that would’ve been funny. He says a friend so gently and then takes off so fiercely and just leaves destruction in his wake. But I really think we’re gonna see something good.

[@pierremary]

I’m sorry but I have absolutely no faith in this movie… for me he wrapped it early cause he want’s to see his movie come out. Which is complicate these recent times with Warner. I mean… the stock was 77 dollars with ZSJL… it’s now 7 dollars… even the Batman 2 project seems in a difficult place… People don’t understand the difference when Gunn was in Marvel with Kevin Feige breathing down his neck but with a lot of money to make a lot sets, suits and vfx… And when he arrived at Warner with The Suicide Squad where we can all see how cheap he had to work with and how free his “pipi/poop/fart” jokes can be unleashed when unsupervised… I hope I’m wrong but I really don’t think so. This movie will be cheap… it will be a catalog of the DC brand to sell for the highest bidder, trying to sell what they can to be out of deep waters.

[@Christian_Ada1]

I agree with you Plus, you forgot to add that James gun strong suit is team up films like the suicide squad and guardians of the Galaxy. He’s not one to make a movie about a solo hero. Superman is not a team. He’s a solo hero that can do everything by himself. I don’t wanna see other heroes in a Superman film

[@Superfitcosplay]

@@pierremary I do believe that he wrapped early so that he could get the visual effect right. I do hope that this movie is good. And I feel like it will be.

@@certainly2509 how about this for a fact, James Gunn did the suicide squad which bombed in theaters not good James Gunn also did the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Superman is not a team character He is a solo hero that doesn’t need a team. It is why he has called Superman. He’s not Batman that has a sidekick James Gunn is known for making team up films. That’s his a strong suit and Superman is not part of a team unless it’s the justice league. This is not a Justice league movie. It’s a Superman film. Yeah I’m with the other guy I don’t see the movie being that great

@@andrewgarfield9898 I hope that’s not the case. I feel like it’s actually gonna be very good.

@Christian_Ada1 SS was, in fact, a good movie that, unfortunately, did not do well due to timing issues. GOG franchise films were, in fact, great movies that did very well at the box office . Furthermore, his Superman movie can be great regardless of your opinions on how the character is handled or may be handled.
