Ben Affleck on working with Zack Snyder and Batman v Superman's cutting-edge visuals

Inquirer caught up with Ben Affleck this week in NYC while he was promoting his new movie Gone Girl. Naturally, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was quickly brought up during their conversation. Affleck talked about his experience shooting the new superhero movie, and what it's like working with a visual director like Zack Snyder. Check out an excerpt from the Inquirer interview below:

At the Comic Con in San Diego, you looked very stern.
That’s my stern Batman look (laughs).
How grim is shooting “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice?”
“Batman” has a great script. It has a very talented director (Zack Snyder), a really strong, smart, robust and experienced studio behind it, so it’s very exciting.
Zack is always such a ball of energy. What is it like working with him?
Zack has more energy than anybody I know. He works as hard as anybody. He’s in the gym in the morning and storyboards every single shot, which is a huge amount of work. So everybody knows what’s going on. He’s got enormous visual talent. I stand there and he sets up shots. We do the blocking and…I see a shot from Zack and I think, I never would have thought of that.
He is so visually inventive so that’s quite pleasant. Action movies take a lot of days and involve a lot of stunts and visual effects—that combination and the story has its own challenges but I’m enjoying it.
What I’ve learned from Zack in the movie are the cutting-edge visual effects—what we’re able to do now and how you integrate that into a story. He’s very gifted.

Makes me wonder how much he's taking in for his own director skills

I think visually he's going to do what Zack Snyder do; I'd imagine this movie is going to be filmed more like Watchmen then Man of Steele. Ben Affleck is defiantly going to be assisting him on the more dialogue heavy scenes. Overall I hope this movie is going to be the best Dc movie to date but I remain skeptical on Jesse Eisenberg, who I think is an odd choice but not a bad choice, and Gal Gadot, who I think is a terrible choice but I hope I'm proven wrong.

  I don't think he's going to be assisting anybody in anything, the movie has its director. He may talk about some things with Snyder but he's a professional, his job is to be the star of the movie. If WB wanted him to direct BvS he would be directing it ;)

    You do know WB wanted Affleck to direct Justice League, don't you?
    1. Knight-Errant
      October 5, 2014
      You mean initially, before he took the role of Batman? That was a while ago. I think before Man of Steel was released.
    2. Miguel Gaspar
      October 5, 2014
      Yes, but WB wanted Ben and Ben turned them down.
    3. Piotr Rudnicki
      October 6, 2014
      I know it, so what?
    4. Miguel Gaspar
      October 6, 2014
      Sigh, nothing.
      And naturally Affleck will be assisting Snyder, you can take that to the bank.

      Did Ben or WB ever confirm that he was approached about directing JL?

      No, they rarely ever announce what ifs.

    Nobody said he needed to take pointers from Zack. The fact that he's doing it anyways means that he's evolving as an artist. Anyone who dabbles in any sort of art for anything more than self-gratification would know what that's like, and anyone who merely enjoys art but doesn't take the time to try and produce it typically responds in such a manner as you have.
    The real skinny is that Zack Snyder's visuals are almost always the subject of universal praise. That's what Ben's talking about in this interview. You can't speak for "the average" by speaking for the person whose comment you're responding to.

      Zack Snyder is debated as one of the best Visual Talent in Hollywood, your argument in invalid.
      but if you haven't understood my point let me elaborate. Visual talent means not only VFX and CGI but also includes cinematography, framing, lightning, vision to bring everything from script to live format in a spectacular way and to make everything on screen look spectacular like costumes, vehicles, action sequences, back drops and everything and Zack has done helluva work in all of the above, which got him the name "one of the Hollywood's best Visual Talent"
    2. Harish
      October 8, 2014
      1) bro you just lost all credibility when you said "Zack never managed to do action and spectacle in a way that didn't cheapen the material"
      2) let me take the example of his last movie MoS, the entire movie was full of deep narrative and character development yet had the best action and VFX in super hero genre (and that's truth maybe there were little problems with screenplay but it wasn't zack's job)
      3) action and spectacle are reviewed upon their level of awesomeness on action and spectacle alone, it has nothing to do with "if they manage consistently endear the character to us" or with balancing the script and all. (this superman was the most relatable version yet)
      4) but before everything let me remind the first and most important job role of a director is to visualize and bring everything from a script to live format in a legitimate and descent manner, so a director has nothing to do with writing scripts (unless he's a co-writer or something)
    3. Harish
      October 8, 2014
      the story and screenplay was completely written by Goyer and Zack made only minor changes like superman killing zod (and that's one of the best stuff in the movie when it comes to character development and story telling)
      Zack was not even hired when the initial planning and story making of MoS was being made, it was long after the approval from WB, Zack was hired to direct the movie.
      for instance take watchmen, MoS and 300 all those movies had great acting pulled out of all the actors in those movies, and in all those movies acting performances was not a problem but was a element which made the movie much better, so zack does bring out good acting from his actors.
      not any monkey can produce jaw dropping action spectacle, it takes exceptional knowledge and skills to do VFX and CGI film making (do you think they give oscars for VFX for no reason)
      and i'll tell you again, a director's main job role is to bring everything from written script to live action format in a visually appealing way and they do get the permission to change some stuff in screenplay but in a limited way, unless the are co-writer for the same movie.
      from this debate i've understood your knowledge about film making process and procedure is limited, so know the stuff and then debate.

      ever heard of drafting scripts and making script polishing, 100% of script drafting takes place even before the first sequence of a film is shot (with story guy, screenplay guy, director and executive producers) all of them going through the script, brain storming about it and taking out unnecessary parts and adding better one's and usually at least 5 drafts would be made in a big budget movies like this, making it their best piece of work which is mutually accepted by all the executive producers, producers, director, story guy and also by the screenplay writer (so during this part they discuss on almost everything like shooting or VFX difficulties and all the other limitation before hand, so to avoid fuck up's afterwards which would cost a lot more money)
      but if they feel like some thing is missing during shooting a sequence or something is not needed, they again talk about it with everyone and only after their acceptance they make polishing on the script, so yes director indeed has his inputs on screenplay and story but which has to be accepted by the producers especially in big budget franchises like these.
      When Ben himself has praised and talked only good of Zack's unique talent when it comes to visual creativity, what does it say he is completely impressed by his work and will obviously steal a page or two from Zack's book, that's what smart people do, that's a quote from Ben Affleck himself "he said steal pieces from smart people and work it on your movie" so what's your point (there's no point btw)
      just remember there has to be some physical and tangible stuff during actual film shooting to latter enhance it in post production, they just cannot make everything out of pixels, that's why movies have something called fake props, motion capture, pryo techniques and everything else, so matter what every director does 50% of VFX in sets and 50% on post production.
      and it's commonly accepted and Zack is commonly praised as one of the best visual talents in hollywood, and there is also a reason why "nolan went to zack, to ask him about directing this MoS movie and not anyone else "

      Dude, none of your points have detracted from what Legend has said. Filmmaking isn't always such a rigid, isolated, textbook process that you're making it out to be. In film production, the director is the single most key factor in determining the quality of a film, and Legend made a really good point about something like an ignited fire truck from TDK being a more compelling visual component than much of Snyder's work. There's a reason filmmakers are starting to opt more and more for practical effects and less CGI - there's a raw tangibility that really convinces and immerses the viewer on a subconscious level, that GGI just can't replicate. J.J. Abrams, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, and countless other directors and actors have testified to this. You can even read some of Viggo Mortensen's recent criticisms of the latest Hobbit films.
      Your remark about Zack being commonly hailed as a great visual talent in Hollywood is a double-sided coin, not simply because "visual talent" can have different meanings, but because I have RARELY ever read or heard of a critic simply praise Snyder's visuals alone. With 300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, etc., the double-edged sword you usually get is "Snyder delivers great visuals at the expense of character development, solid or even convincing acting performances, and a cohesive script." Again, you can check out the reviews for yourself. A true artist and top-notch visual talent like David Fincher, on the other hand, can deliver on making a gorgeous-looking film, while bringing out the best in actors, with a narrative that doesn't rely on vast spectacle, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
      Finally, what people seem to forget is that Snyder isn't the one sitting in a chair for a year once the film has been shot implementing all that CGI and enhancing effects. There's always a team of technical artists, animators (yes, even in a live-action film), designers and other coordinators who work on creating the distinctive visuals you have come to associate with each of Snyder's films. That's why Snyder's more in the category of a "brand" akin to someone like Michael Bay.

      My point was, Zack with Watchmen and MoS has proved more than enough that his movies have real heart and soul in the script, the kinda script script which has perfect character development and good narrative threads but also comes along with jaw dropping visuals. And yes Movies absolutely needs a bunch of VFX guys to make the CGI stuff and all usually out sourcing it to a studio that specializes in the field but working under the creative imagination of the director. And you have to realize tjayctjere should be actual tangible stuff in the shooting process to enhance it in post prodiction , that's why motion capture, pyro techniques, miniature models, and no caps are all present and most of these techniques were also used in MoS
    7. Harish
      October 9, 2014
      I never said Zack is a beter director than Ben but Ben is just probably learning about VFX film making from one of the best in field, because he himself has said that he didn't know the art of VFX film making. On the other hand Watchmen and MoS proved enough that Zack's movie has real soul in the script and that it adds to the action sequence's.

Really looking forward to this movie, I wonder if when they say that this will take heavily from TDKR will the public find out that Wayne is Batman. The fans would lose their shit and i'd find it really quite funny.

Still not too taken with Gal, but i hope that changes when more of the film (trailers ect) are released.

October 4, 2014

mr Affleck certainly sells the film well, still a bit sour i'll never get to see that comic con teaser in full HD though

RandomShinigami7
October 4, 2014
I hate it when that happens. Godzilla did the same thing back in 2012. Or was it 2013? Ah whatever. Surely though, the best way to stop these teasers leaking out is to release it yourself? Your trailer isn't leaked, and fans get to see it. Everybody's happy!
1. Harish
  October 4, 2014
  So you are sad because you do not get to see the comic con stuff, dude think it from other side. people lose their sleep and stand in queue for hours and skip lunch and everything to get comic con tickets and seats so its really unfaithful of film makers to releaese it to everyone just like that. Those comic con attendees would be effing furious if something like that happened, imagine yourself in that position.
  1. RandomShinigami7
    October 4, 2014
    "...imagine yourself in that position."
    ...
    OK, done. Honestly, I wouldn't mind it.
    1. Knight Falcon
      October 4, 2014
      It's like standing in line for a midnight premiere. Everyone still see's it, but the dedicated get to see it sooner. I've lost sleep by midnight premieres since I worked at 3am the same night.
      I would also not sleep for a couple of days, and stand in line for that same amount of time if I could go to a red carpet premiere. I wouldn't be upset if the world saw it a couple days later.
    2. JJ
      October 4, 2014
      I agree with you, although I would wait a couple years to release it if I were a filmmaker, maybe in a special edition.. As a fanboy I want it now.
    3. Harish
      October 4, 2014
      But that's just you right there are thousand of attendees and all of them would not have the same generosity as you
  2. Joker
    October 5, 2014
    But Comic-Con isn't just about 'exclusive trailers'. Those people got to see Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, the whole Marvel crew and more in person.
    Heck, it's not just about seeing celebrities either, there's so much more to Comic-Con that releasing a small clip online won't damage anyone's experience at all

Give it time, Zack is known for pleasing fans. Any other direcor would never show footage as early as he did at Comic-Con. Except maybe Whedon.
Mr. Warshaw
October 4, 2014
Wouldn't be surprised if it's Comicon that keeps these things private. They're the ones that benefit the most by keeping these things exclusive.

I won't be surprised if the same scene, except actually filmed instead of the animation that was shown at sdcc, is what we see in a teaser trailer attached to The Hobbit this Christmas.
1. Rob_wesb
  October 4, 2014
  Hobbit might still be a little too early
2. Nostradennus
  October 5, 2014
  Maybe we saw something different, but the SDCC released footage was real, and not animated.
  1. Mark
    October 5, 2014
    I wasn't at sdcc, but the versions I saw on YouTube certainly looked like 3d animation. Zack even said at the time that they hadn't done any of the technical stuff yet.
Knight-Errant
October 4, 2014
I don't think it'll make a difference. I get this feeling the footage isn't even going to be in the movie.
1. guest
  October 5, 2014
  Of course it isn't going to be in the movie, that's obvious
  1. Knight-Errant
    October 5, 2014
    I don't think its "obvious", just a gut feeling. If it was obvious, then I don't believe there'd be as many people thinking it is in the movie.
    1. Nostradennus
      October 5, 2014
      Considering the chick in charge of this movie from WB, said it was just for SDCC, it's pretty obvious.
    2. Knight-Errant
      October 5, 2014
      Still seems to be many who didn't get the memo. That's why I question how "obvious" it is.
2. The Dark Knight
  October 5, 2014
  I also think that footage will not be in the film. They drop the footage for just hint clearly they will collide in the film. Storyline is different conversation. But they will involve in fight. And WB also said that footage only for them who are in the comic con.

HUSH LittleBaby

I have always loved Zack's comicbook movies, I can't wait to see how he's gonna pull this off.

Just hope he'll get the storytelling & character development parts down. I liked Man of Steel but it was lacking in those departments

Mr. Nice Guy
October 4, 2014
It's the writer's fault, in the hands of another director, Man of Steel would turn out to be Transformers 4. Don't worry, the writer for Batman v Superman is of a higher caliber.
1. Harish
  October 4, 2014
  There is a reason Why Chris Nolan went to Zack Snyder to talk about MoS project and not to anyone else.
2. Frank
  October 4, 2014
  I thought Jon Favreau was doing a great job until the involvement from Marvel. Really wish they gave him Iron Man 3 to finish what he started.
  1. Miguel Gaspar
    October 7, 2014
    Favreau had love for Iron Man, it was palpable.
    The Russo brothers also had a fantastic approach.
3. joshua0101
  October 4, 2014
  A lot of issues in Man of Steel were because of the writing. But directing choices play a big part in story and character development as well. Look at all the adaptions of a Shakespeare play for example.
  1. Miguel Gaspar
    October 7, 2014
    Directing-wise, I don't think MoS was lacking at all, Snyder did a great job, I blame all the dumb stuff on Goyer and Goyer alone.
    Fucking hate Goyer.
4. mike alexander
  October 5, 2014
  Goyer's script was not as bad as it's said to be : it was ok, good. What it lacked was much of any wit : you can't compare it to the subtle, understated humor of the Nolan bros work on TDK trilogy or Whedon's rapid-fire zingers. I daresay that's what Terrio's gonna rectify.
  1. Miguel Gaspar
    October 5, 2014
    Yeah, "nice coat" or "I'm not wearing hockey pads" is much more subtle than "nice suit, son".
    1. mike alexander
      October 6, 2014
      That's not what I mean. I liked that line, anyway.
      The banter. The way Bruce and Alfred casually trade quips, for example : it's more reminiscent of the kinds of conversations real people have.
      I'm not knocking MoS : love the film.
    2. Miguel Gaspar
      October 7, 2014
      I agree with that, the interactions between Alfred and Bruce were the best in the franchise, the dialogue overall is pretty darn good.
      I guess you're right, MoS somewhat lacks more down to earth, lighthearted dialogue, it was all "importantz stuffz" talk all the time, we need, small talk, show Clark's and other character's wits.
    3. mike alexander
      October 7, 2014
      Yeah man, exactly ... when you watch those two, you feel like you're hanging with old friends.
      In the case of MoS, critics make it sound like the dialogue's out of Tommy Wiseau's 'The Room', but critics of this film exaggerate 'everything'.
      But if you think of when Baleman is about to retire in TDK and suggests to Alfred he's gonna 'tell them it was all your idea' ... or Cap's "I understood that reference' ... there wasn't a heap of that in MoS. It doesn't need to be Batman slipping on a banana peel or even necessarily humorous ... just a bit more by way of natural conversation in the dialogue.
      If they accomplish that in BvS, it will fucking own.
Harish
October 4, 2014
The entire movie spent its whole time on Clark Kent getting to know his Kal el side and trying to cope up with everything and at last making the unimaginable choice, and you are telling there is no character development.

  Butt hurt Marvel fans with shit load of bias is the answer for your question.
  1. Knight-Errant
    October 5, 2014
    I don't believe that's accurate. I've seen more old school DC fans complain about Man of Steel. They long for the George Reeves & Christopher Reeve versions.
    That's like saying none of the DC fanboys here complained about the Mandarin in IM3.
    1. Harish
      October 5, 2014
      Well the thing is those fan boys of reeve superman are totally senseless and biased, they reeve superman and Lois killed zod and faora with cheesy one liners and broad smile in their faces with ultra happy and heroic superman theme music in the back but when cavill superman kills zod and was literally sad at dong it yet those reeve fans trash talk that superman doesn't kill and this version is shit. That's why I used the term biased fanboys
    2. Knight-Errant
      October 5, 2014
      People like what they like. I've heard it as the Donner cut has the trio arrested following being depowered, so they didn't die. I've also heard it as "if they did die, it wasn't as up close & personal as in MoS."
      Regardless, your initial comment was about Marvel fans & I didn't think it should be limited. If they're Marvel zombies, chances are they didn't care enough about the movie anyway.
    3. Harish
      October 7, 2014
      Superman depowered zod and crushed his fist into pulp and throwed him in a bottomless pit and same treatment went to faora isn't that up close and personal?
    4. Knight-Errant
      October 7, 2014
      No. Both Zod, Non, & Ursa ultimately were killed if they struck anything on their descent. Kent physically snapped the neck of Zod.
      Or think of this; if you shoot a deer & kill it, its different then grabbing a deer & killing with a knife, blunt object or with your bare hands. Those last three are up close & personal.
      M
    5. Harish
      October 7, 2014
      it doesn't matter how a person kills, it can be with his bare hands, or with knives, or a gun or with an effing Nuke but at the end it is killing (Taking a life) and both version have done that, but Cavill's version at least showed regret, remorse and holding back. but Reeve he was enjoying his double homocide along with his girl friend.
    6. Knight-Errant
      October 7, 2014
      It has the same result, but people will rationalize it differently. That's why people who kill with intent are looked (and judged) differently then those who kill in self-defense.
      The deaths of Zod, Non, & Ursa are the same as in Batman Begins. Batman left Ra's to die rather then save him. How many people complained? If Batman would've snapped Ra's neck, then escaped the train, there would be a plethora of complaints. Its all how people rationalize it to themselves.
      Put another way; you know your parents have sex. If you actually saw them having sex you'd see the fact in a whole different manner.
    7. Harish
      October 7, 2014
      did superman kill Zod for self defense in Superman 2, he killed him just because he was his villain but in MoS he killed Zod because there was an entire family which was about to be vaporized.
    8. Knight-Errant
      October 7, 2014
      I used self-defense as an example of how killing someone gets rationalized by people.
      Use the parental sex as a better example: people know Kent killed Zod in Superman II (like they know their parents have sex), but its different then seeing Kent kill Zod with his bare hands (like seeing their parents in the middle of sex.)
    9. Knight-Errant
      October 7, 2014
      And in case I didn't mention it; I don't like that Kent killed in either movie, but I understand why it was done in MoS.
      At least in MoS, it was manslaughter. In II, its murder.
    10. Harish
      October 7, 2014
      but in both the version Superman killed Zod Brutally but at least he regretted and cried in MoS rather than smiling all thorough out the process like a psychopath killer. So Superman killing people is more justified and was put into proper storytelling usage better than ever in MoS.
    11. Knight-Errant
      October 7, 2014
      How did Kent brutally murder Zod in II? Zod was thrown into a "presumably" abyss.
    12. Harish
      October 7, 2014
      crushing the fist depowered zod into a total pulp. and that abyss is of course extremely deep not presumably, so that Zod can enjoy his journey to death in a long and frightening way.
    13. Knight-Errant
      October 7, 2014
      He broke the hand bones, but he didn't turn it into mash potatoes.
      We're presuming its an abyss, nothing ever confirmed it. It could be a 100' drop into freezing cold water/ice. Also, we're presuming its a straight shaft. Based on the architure of the fortress, there could be pieces that jet out of the walls. If they hit those, the impact would kill them.
    14. Harish
      October 8, 2014
      so the pit might have razor sharp ice spikes which can tear his body like a chainsaw through wood or if he fell into a water beneath he can slowly and painfully freeze to death if not the impact of the fall can splatter his entire body like a fly on a wind shield.
    15. Knight-Errant
      October 8, 2014
      Hypothermia sets in within a couple of minutes. That killed more people when the Titanic sank then drowning. He they hit water & survived the fall, it'd only be a couple minutes to their deaths. By that point, their bodies would've already been in shock from the fall & impeding deaths, freezing wouldn't have been that big a factor.
      I could be talked into this being a horrendous murder, just not brutal.
    16. Harish
      October 8, 2014
      either way it is murdering a man cold blood and you are defending it without proper reasoning.
    17. Knight-Errant
      October 8, 2014
      When did I defend it? I disagree its a "brutal" murder because it lacks savagery. I think II was murder, with is worse then the manslaughter in MoS.
      How's that defending it?
    18. Harish
      October 8, 2014
      the fact that you are trying to rationalize cold blooded murder into multiple categories, is
    19. Knight-Errant
      October 8, 2014
      What? Look, I'm not defending or rationalizing anything. Whether its a horrendous, brutal, accidental, or in self-defense, its still resulted in a death. The categories of manslaughter & murder is a breakdown of the types of murder in the crimes code.
      Using words to describe how the death occurred isn't rationalizing it. Cuts a way to profile the killer.
      Killing is killing, but how the law describes it & how a jury of peers perceive it will differs.
    20. Harish
      October 8, 2014
      ok superman killed zod in both the movies, but he at least regretted it in MoS, thus makking MoS version better than the previous one.
      peace.
    21. Harish
      October 7, 2014
      sounds brutal to me because in MoS it was just a flash and he's dead but in S2 it was like Zod was forced to endure an go through all the pain.
    22. Knight-Errant

      Brutal by the method. As I said, Zod's death in MoS was more up close & personal.
      I find getting mauled by a werewolf to be more a brutal death the dropped by King Kong. Even if the fatal blow is the initial claw scrap to the body.

I think you missed the 1st half of Man of Steel, there's nothing but character development there, for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
What was wrong with MoS was just the extreme dumb situations and scenes, like the tornado death of Pa Kent, or Jor-El beating Zod, things like that.
Character development wasn't a problem in MoS.
1. Miguel Gaspar
  October 6, 2014
  Nope, they were both stupid, and poorly written scenes.
  You couldn't just have a small heart attack scene, or better yet, have Pa Kent live for a change, but no, they had to had something EXTREME! and poorly executed because there was a thousand things Clark could've done to save his father.
  And Jor-El beating Zod makes absolutely no sense, Zod was his military leader, a born warrior, he was genetically designed for war, and is beaten by Jor-El? A scientist?
  No, those scenes don't expand your imagination, they insult your intelligence and they don't play the narrative well AT ALL, they contradict it.
  I love the movie but those scenes are dumb and hurt the movie a lot.
  1. Miguel Gaspar
    October 6, 2014
    It doesn't play well the narrative, not at all, why do people complain about it, you ask? Because there is a LOT to complain.
    Again, there was a PLETHORA of options Clark had to save his father without ANYBODY finding out who they were, after all, they were random people on a highway.
    He just reinforced the notion he previously set that it was ok to LET PEOPLE DIE, so you could protect yourself (or your identity), how is that playing the narrative well? No, it was a dumb scene and poorly written, that's why, and the fact that it had to be a tornado was utterly pointless.
    Jor-El vs Zod...
    You don't care because it's cool? Do you realize that's the reason movies like Transformers do so well? You don't care the movie is negating it's own premise or it's own established narrative in favor of dumb, pointless action? That's not good, and it wasn't even a good fight scene.
    You know Zod only killed Jor-El cause Jor-El was distracted, why would you even try to rationalize that?
    No, no, no, no, why would you try to make up excuses about it? It was NEVER established Jor-El had any sort of training, and even if he had, he could NEVER be better than Zod since Zod was born/designed to be a warrior, why would you even argue against that when there's nothing that backs up anything else other than what the movie itself established?
    They were dumb scenes, they don't play the narrative well, they were pointless and contradictory, poorly written, without a single redeeming quality.
    1. Miguel Gaspar
      October 6, 2014
      I'm not worked up but I can't use Italic/bold letters nor underlining or anything here, so I use capital letters to emphasize.
      So if it's a comic book movie it's okay to just have a dumb stuff in it? It's ok to have no regard for the viewer's intelligence at all? Buddy, you have the wrong idea of what suspension of disbelief is.
      When they tell you a born scientist can defeat a born warrior in physical combat, that's not suspension of disbelief, that's just dumb.
      You can disagree all you want, you can like those 2 scenes all you want, that's all fine, to each his own.
      But if you tell me those scenes played the narrative well or were well orchestrated, I'm going to tell you that you are wrong and that is simply a lie, that's not true at all and I just explained you why in an objective manner, not opinionated, they are contradictory to their own premises, gratuitous and plain dumb, and btw you didn't even back up your argument, you just told me they "played the narrative well", and "perfectly orchestrated" without telling me why.
      So if you're going to reluctantly ignite a debate to end up saying "umm that's like, your opinion man" when the topic isn't even subjective, just, don't ignite the debate in the 1st place, thank you.

      October 6, 2014
      Ugh, what a dense kid.
      Go watch Transformers if you don't care about the popular arts.

    3. Miguel Gaspar
      October 7, 2014
      Like I said, you can like the scenes all you want, but they're not well orchestrated nor play well the narrative for a fact, I just demonstrated why they are contradictory and gratuitous.
      You can like dumb shit and that's ok, God knows I have fun watching fast and furious movies, but those movies don't take themselves seriously nor they ever establish things that could hinder the narrative the way MoS does, so you can like those 2 scenes just fine, but don't tell me they're not dumb.
      And you clearly don't care about the pop arts if you're perfectly fine when a filmmaker hopes you forgot about something in the movie that was previous established, in the hopes you only remember that "cool fight", and even worse, that you call that lazy dumb debacle "well orchestrated".
      I watch movies as entertainment and escapism, I LOVE fiction and I loved Man of Steel, but you can't pretend the movie is perfect with me when it clearly is not.
      So if you want to have a meaningful debate, go ahead, make your case, but if you're going to try and shove your tepid and non constructive "let's agree to disagree", and even worse, giving me the old troll motto "u mad bro", don't bother, please.

      You're not defending yourself nor your argument, you're just crying like a toddler who can't get his way.

      I'm not being a pompous douchebag, I presented my arguments and backed them up, you ignored them, you're the only dbag here.
      And whatever, you can keep replying whatever dumb shit you want, I'll just copy/paste what follows until you shut up:
      "-The tornado scene and Zod/Jor-El fight were dumb, gratuitous, poorly written and executed, for a fact, but it's ok if you like those dumb scenes.
      -You never defended your arguments with the slightest wit, not once
      -Stop replying to me"

  Dude his wife just said he gained 30 pounds of muscle weight and achievd 8% body fat, 8% body fat is something which professional body builders achieve. So I guess he has done something great we just have to wait for a shirtless pic to find out
  1. The Dark Knight
    October 5, 2014
    I don't think shirtless body we will see before trailers. In the scene Bruce do some martial art alone in somewhere in monor. And Alfred come with some breakfast and say with lion voice 'Master Wayne'. :D

      October 5, 2014
      I believe we will see his shirtless body in film. I am little confused about Wayne manor. If they use some huge old manor it will be great. I mean it will more suit him. And that is not Wayne manor. I am 100% sure. And those police cars more indicate it is 100% not. I also leave behind that Alfred's house idea. But that is actually Alfred street. Coincedencee. They will not show the board where it written. It is other story actually. we will know. I think they shoot scenes with Alfred in manor. Or inside. He is in Detroit for 15 days almost.

      True. He said in one interview that the role of Batman required him to be a Perfectly Pumped-Up Man, that the role in Gone Girl required him to be a pudgy drunk, and that "he approached both with equal gusto". So no telling what he looks like in that scene.

It's a vague statement and could mean many things, but I agree it seems like there's displeasure with the script.
Megastar v. Director in Script Dispute....
Judges score for Megastar 50-45, 50-43, and 50-45 every single time. Sorry, Snyder.
But Snyder will at least have a cool director's version some day. (Again, if Affleck was indeed stating he wanted to change the script.)
1. TongPo
  October 4, 2014
  It is a vague statement. The more i read what he said, i'm thinking he just means that implementing the visuals/effects with the story is challenging.

1. WhiteBoner
  October 4, 2014
  No, he singled out the script. It could be interpreted many ways, but as somebody who's tracked the making of several contentious movies, Affleck's phrasing sounded very foreboding.
  But, hey, maybe he was just speaking sloppily and meant something else.
  1. Guest
    October 7, 2014
    No he didn't, you're reading whatever you want off what otherwise are very clear statements, he's not speaking sloppily, you're reading sloppily.

    He's clearly and obviously referring to the combination of physical and dramatic work, he previously stated how working out is as big a part of the job as acting is, why would he take jabs at the story when a couple sentences back he said the movie "has a great script"?

Piotr Rudnicki

October 4, 2014

Who would have thought 10 years ago that Affleck would become the guy he is now? When he says something's good it most likely is. People are fighting for his approval, he's considered one of the best 'young' directors, he's yet to direct an AVERAGE film... It's crazy. And I've listened to AMC Movie Talk people about Gone Girl and now I have to see it - Ben's supposedly brilliant in it.

And Snyder may be more experienced of a filmmaker than Ben is, but Affleck is on his way to become one of the greatest of our times, if he doesn't step away from this path that he's on. Just a thought ;)

Alex Vidal
October 5, 2014
With the movies he has under his belt as a DIRECTOR. He is closer to becoming one of the greatest than he is closer to being an average director.
1. Alex Vidal
  October 5, 2014
  As I said, he is CLOSER.. as in he is heading in that direction. Doesn't mean he is already there. However, 3 movies and all of them were amazing? Not even good or great, they were amazing (sure, this is subjective but due to the critical acclaim all three of those movies got.. it's safe to say that all three movies were beyond great). It's pretty safe to assume that he has potential to be one of the greatest.
  Again, he isn't one of the greatest yet and he isn't close either. However, he is heading in that direction if he keeps it up.
2. Harish
  October 5, 2014
  You are not getting the point he managed to grab Oscar for film making at his third attempt and got Oscar for script writing at his first attempt show me any other gu who developed this fast if this continues he's surely in the path of becoming one of the best. But he is already considered one of the elite film maker by the Academy and was invited into the honorary membership of the academy.
Piotr Rudnicki
October 5, 2014
"he's not even close to becoming one of the greatest"
Then it's a a good thing I didn't say he is, isn't it? I only said he's on his way, not that he's close. He directed 3 movies, true, but each was better then the previous one with the third one winning him an Oscar for Best Picture. He's THIRD movie has won BEST PICTURE. If that's not the path to greatness then I don't know what is...
1. Piotr Rudnicki
  October 5, 2014
  They're not, but they're closer to it than your opinion, or mine for that matter. But if you win Best Picture with your third movie that says a lot about your talent. Talent + Luck = future greatness. And Affleck has been extremely lucky lately with his directing/acting choices.

Charles Tosti

October 4, 2014

I love how Affleck is constantly learning from every director he works with. He stated before that he was learning from David Fincher (one of the best Story Telling Directors to ever live) and now he's learning from Zack Snyder (one of the best Visual Directors to ever live). I can imagine he is soaking in all this knowledge and trying to combine all of this into his own unique style of Directing. All I'm saying is, I really hope he directs the future Batman films.

Gothamite1939

October 4, 2014

It's good to see Affleck excited. I can't believe how much news etc this film is getting two years out. Radio stations in my country are already talking about it and a while back I walked past a shop selling Batman v Superman shirts when the photos of Batfleck/Superman and Wonder Woman were coming out in hype/excitement to get people to buy them. Anyways I know Affleck is selling his film so it's not like he's going to say anything bad about it but it's still interesting to hear what he has to say.

Harish

October 4, 2014

First he learned oscar level script writing with Goodwill Hunting and with Argo he learnt Oscar Level Movie Making and with Gone Girl he has improved a ton in acting (almost oscar worthy) and with Zack in this movie he is learning VFX from arguably one of the best visual director in Hollywood. It sounds like Ben is going to direct his own Batman movie in near future. Brace yourself we might be getting the best solo batman movie ever.

Knight-Errant
October 4, 2014
I don't know. IF (which I'm not 100% certain) there is a Ben Affleck solo Batman movie, I don't buy him directing it. Its a lot of work to put a movie together as a director...plus, he'd be starring in the movie, which means he's got to devote the time to stay physically in shape for the role. Not, to mention his family & the time needed to spend with them. It sounds too demanding.
1. Harish
  October 5, 2014
  Well every movie he did in recent times were very demanding Argo, Town, Gone Girl but he's still there
  This guys has done directing+starring+script polishing in many movies now and he's quite skilled at it he can handle it
  1. Knight-Errant
    October 5, 2014
    He is skilled...but in Gone Girl (which sadly has a predictable ending thanks to the trailers), he was able to work out for the role of Batman, as he was only acting in the movie.
    In both Argo & The Town he starred & directed, but he didn't have to hit the gym for hours to look the part.
    What script polishing?
    1. Harish
      October 5, 2014
      He did a lot of body building for The Town and he looked pretty ripped, so he does manage time for his movies because he wants to deliver what he imagines and Ben did a lot of screen play polishing (changes and developments for bettter piece of work) for Argo. But now that he has gained 30 pounds of muscle weight and achieved 8% body fat I think its easier to maintain that body if he even does regular exercise and proper diet just like how other super hero stars do.
    2. Knight-Errant
      October 5, 2014
      He's more ripped now then for The Town.
      I know what script polishing is, just didn't recall seeing anywhere he did it.
      That's difficult to keep up without maintaining a certain level of exercise. And that takes the same amount of time, even with the diet. If any solo film was to be shot back-to-back-to-back with BvS:DoJ & JL, its possible to keep it going...but now he's committed several consecutive years to this single role.
      Plus, its all moot at this point because I haven't heard anywhere that Affleck wants to star, direct, write, or all the above a solo Batman film.
    3. Harish
      October 5, 2014
      Well its not official I know but a speculation which sounds likely because he has become WB's golden boy among many other reasons
    4. Harish
      October 5, 2014
      The ending of gone girl doesn't have anything to do with Ben he just starred as the lead guy and almost gave an Oscar worthy performance.
    5. Knight-Errant
      October 5, 2014
      My comment has nothing to do with Affleck's performance. Its about the marketing. In 3 scenes (or at least the voice over of scenes) from the 2 trailers its heavily leaning to what the twist of the movie is.
    6. Mark
      October 5, 2014
      I've seen dumbass marketing moves in that vein before. I remember either Michelle Pfeiffer or Michael Keaton going on Letterman to promote "Batman Returns," and of course they "brought a clip". Which clip was it? The one where Bruce and Selina realize they had met up the night before, in costume, and now know each other's secret identities. WHY would you show that?

Ill admit it lacked just a little bit on writing but overall it was moving, and the visuals were beautiful. And its the first movie of a Superman Reboot, its not gonna be perfect but to be the first one, I was fascinated no doubt and expect Dawn of Justice to blow my mind!

"He is so visually inventive so that’s quite pleasant. Action movies take a lot of days and involve a lot of stunts and visual effects—that combination and the story has its own challenges but I’m enjoying it." You are taking what he said out of context. He isn't saying the story in it of it self has challenges. He is saying dealing with a story such as this plus the work actions movies take to make is challenging. Context clues bro. If he is was talking about the script in general he wouldn't it mention when talking about technical size of filming.

Is anyone sick to death of the word "visuals"? What could Affleck possibly learn about visual effects from Snyder that he couldn't have picked up from Michael Bay while working on Armageddon and Pearl Harbor? It's the same shit. I hope he's just pimping the flick and doesn't actually believe any of this tripe that he's coming out with. God forbid he should actually take inspiration from Snyder, as far as his directorial efforts go. I'd hate Argo 2 to look like the cheesy, plastic, rubbery crap that Snyder is so great at.

Bay's visuals = Snyder's visuals?
Lol no.

Just finished watching Gone Girl. There should definitely be no doubters of the Affleck. Seriously get off the band wagon of hate and watch his recent films. He was good in runner runner but that was such a boring movie..

Ben could turn in some DDL type performances, but people would still bring up Daredevil lol

  I wouldn't say I loved Daredevil but I think it's been waaaaay overcriticized. And Ben's performance in it wasn't bad, it was one of the highlights. Superhero movies back then were more or less like that, even Spider-Man was cheesy as hell (and I LOVED Raimi's Spider-Man) :)

    Raimi's Spider-man was "cheesy as hell"? Sure there were a couple scenes, but not enough for me to call it "cheesy."

      Ok, got a little carried away and landed not where I intented (maybe because I'm not a native English speaker, who knows). The word I would use instead is "silly". Is that better? :D
      I'm talking about Peter's clumsiness, MJ's... everything, "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head" kind of scenes. But that's ok, that was the idea of transforming a comic book into a movie. Which is why I defend Daredevil, its SILLINESS was how Marvel movies were made back then...

      I'm not sure if "silliness" is the right word either. It had its flaws (Green Goblin's outfit, Dunst, CGI of Parker), but it had heart & soul. That clumsiness was all apart of Parker's awkwardness. Maybe "corny moments."
      In fact, one of the things missing was Spidey's wisecracking, which was always to cover his insecurities.
      There was action, character development, & somber moments. When Ben died, you felt Parker's grief. When Norman died, you felt Parker's grief. When Parker turned down the chance to be with MJ, you felt his grief. All things I found this new trilogy to miss.

      Woah, let me stop you right there before you start thinking I don't agree with everything you wrote. I was talking about those corny moments only, the rest about heart & soul I would agree with in a heartbeat. We're talking about my favourite comic book movies ever :)
      But I would argue you about the new ones. They may not be better than Raimi's movies, and this whole teenage thing backfires more than it does any good, but the ending (well, what happens before the ending) of TASM was really emotional and real. I didn't find it underdeveloped, it's hard not to feel something when that happens. I would also point out that wisecracking which you found to be missing in originals was present in TASM. You may not like it but boy it was there ;)

      I'll take your word on ASM, I found it empty. When Ben died, I felt nothing. It seemed like the shift moved to Pete's parents. The wisecracking was in ASM, which I've enjoyed, but I heard they went off the deep end in ASM2. My buddies who saw it stated instead of being Pete's defense mechanism, it sounded more like Deadpool.
      Much like the new FF reboot, I hope those who like the movies continue to like them. I must going to pass.

      That's cool. IT's true they went off the deep end in ASM2, Deadpool is a nice comparison, but to me it was still true to the comic book character. Especially younger versions of Peter :) ASM2 is a mess from the film making perspective, but it has some heart, you should give it a chance one day. 60% of the movie should not be in it, there are also lots of scenes that should be in it but were missing. But what's left is worth watching, at least to me.
      So there we go, a conclusion. Nice talking ;)

True, but at the same time, take the comments with a grain of salt. When is the last time an actor said "the script sucks, my co-stars aren't in my league, & the director is blind in 1 eye and can't see out the other."

What else but praise is Affleck expected to give for a movie he's still working on?
