澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suicide Squad director David Ayer has once again taken to social media to open up about his DC movie and the alleged cuts made to it. This time, the f🐻ilmmaker has revealed why Suicide Squad was supposedly changed and offered some information on the “terrifying” scenes involving Jared Leto’s Joker.

“This was reshot because the tone was ‘too dar🎉k,’” Ayer said on Twitter. “My first act was a normally constructed film.🧜 I took my inspiration from [Christopher] Nolan. There were real scenes with incredible acting between Jared and [Harley Quinn actor] Margot [Robbie]. Joker was terrifying. Harley was complex.”

Expanding further, he revealed that the change in tone from trailers to the lighter, more joke-filled finished product was a result of both the critical whiplash to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Batman v Superman, as well as the success of the R-Rated Deadpool over at Fox.

“[The first Suicide Squad trailer] nailed the tone and intention of the film I made. Methodical. Layered. Complex, beautiful and sad. After the BVS reviews shell shocked♒ the leadership at the time, and the succes🐎s of Deadpool - My soulful drama was beaten into a ‘comedy,’” Ayer explained.

For his part, Ayer holds no ill will against Warner Bros. – at least in its current state. He later said on , “This was just a moment in 🦹the past - Those involved have moved on. The studio is in a great place today and encouraging🎀 filmmakers to make their vision.”

After the successful 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Justice League Snyder Cut movement led to the announ🌌cement of a re-release coming to HBO Max in 2021, recuts are suddenly all the rage. Ayer previously said his cut 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:would be &lꦬdquo;easy”🎉 to complete, while some fans in a galaxy far, far away have even petitioned for a four-hour Revenge of the Sith extended🥀 edition.

Is it time to #ReleaseTheAyerCut? For now, no news on it becoming a reality – th♎ough Ayer isn’t holding back on his treatment of the film that eventually became Suicide Squad.
