Suicide Squad's' Secret Drama: Rushed Production, Competing Cuts, High Anxiety"Better late than never." That was one Warner Bros. Suicide Squad's splashy Aug. New York. Tracking indicates the film could open to more than $1. American Sniper's $5. December 2. 01. 4. With March's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice grossing $8.

Warners still urgently needs to jump- start its critical DC Comics universe, raising the stakes for Suicide Squad, which cost at least $1. Yet if the villain team- up ultimately works — and it has drawn some harsh early reviews  — it will be in spite of the kind of behind- the- scenes drama that is becoming typical for giant franchise movies that now are the main focus of the studio business: a production schedule engineered to meet an ambitious release date; a director, David Ayer (Fury), untested in making tentpole movies; and studio executives, brimming with anxiety, who are ready to intercede forcefully as they attempt to protect a branded asset. Often, efforts to fix perceived problems ratchet up costs, which drive anxiety ever higher.

In extreme cases, such as Fox's troubled Fantastic Four, the intervention is so aggressive that it becomes unclear what it means to be the director. In each such case, studios are careful to stress that the credited director is on- scene and in charge, which is essential to avoid DGA issues. And the wise director plays along.)So despite grueling moments, multiple editors and competing cuts, the production of Suicide Squad barely stands out in today's landscape. In a joint statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Ayer and Warner Bros. Greg Silverman say: "This was an amazing experience. We did a lot of experimentation and collaboration along the way.

But we are both very proud of the result. This is a David Ayer film, and Warners is proud to present it."Warners chief Kevin Tsujihara announced the project in October 2. DC films stretching into 2. Though the studio believed there was enough time to get the movie done, a source with ties to the project says it was a sprint from the start. Ayer] wrote the script in like, six weeks, and they just went," he says, arguing that the whole process would have benefited if Ayer, 4. But another source closely involved with the film says once it was dated, pushing back the release was not an option: "It's not just that you've told the public the movie is coming, you've made huge deals around the world with huge branding partners, with merchandise partners.

It's a really big deal to move a tentpole date."In Ayer, Warner Bros. Hiring filmmakers who lack such experience is the trend, and it's often out of necessity. There are a lot of people who don't want to direct those movies and that's a huge problem," says one producer with franchise experience. A lot of the proven guys are back- to- back with their stuff, or they want to develop it for five years, and there's a machine that has to be fed. And there's the economics." Seasoned directors are expensive, meaning studios turn to those with less experience, relying on instinct that they will be up to the job. Sometimes it works (Colin Trevorrow on Jurassic World), and sometimes it doesn't (James Bobin on Alice Through the Looking Glass).

A source with knowledge of events says Warners executives, nervous from the start, grew more anxious after they were blindsided and deeply rattled by the tepid response to Bv. S. "Kevin was really pissed about damage to the brand," says one executive close to the studio. A key concern for Warners executives was that Suicide Squad didn't deliver on the fun, edgy tone promised in the strong teaser trailer for the film. So while Ayer pursued his original vision, Warners set about working on a different cut, with an assist from Trailer Park, the company that had made the teaser.

By the time the film was done, multiple editors had been brought into the process, though only John Gilroy is credited. A source says he left by the end of the process and that the final editor was Michael Tronick.) "When you have big tentpoles and time pressure, you pull in resources from every which way you can," says this source. You can't do it the way it used to be, with one editor and one assistant editor."In May, Ayer's more somber version and a lighter, studio- favored version were tested with audiences in Northern California. If there are multiple opinions that aren't in sync, you go down multiple tracks — two tracks at least," says an insider.

That was the case here for a period of time, always trying to get to a place where you have consensus." Those associated with the film insist Ayer agreed to and participated in the process. Once feedback on the two versions was analyzed, it became clear it was possible to get to "a very common- ground place." (The studio- favored version with more characters introduced early in the film and jazzed- up graphics won.) Getting to that place of consensus, however, required millions of dollars' worth of additional photography. Other sources describe a fraught process — one cites "a lot of panic and ego instead of calmly addressing the tonal issue." Clearly all wasn't sitting right with Ayer, who in June suddenly dropped his longtime agent at CAA and defected to WME, though the agency won him back in a day. He was under a lot — a lot — of pressure," says one person with knowledge of the situation, arguing that Ayer was exhausted and needed time to process conflicting ideas. And there may have been other strains. Just weeks before the two versions were tested, Warner Bros. Ayer's next project, Bright, which will reunite him with Suicide.

Squad star Will Smith. He ended up at Netflix, which made a staggering $9. Nonetheless, a day or two after Ayer fired and rehired CAA, another cut of the film was screened for a test audience, and sources say the results were strong enough that there was an upbeat plane ride back to Los Angeles. Now the question is whether the film will deliver for an industry thirsty for something, anything, that will work in a summer bereft of live- action hits. Though reviews suggest the competing visions for the movie may have taken a toll (THR's critic calls the film "puzzlingly confused"), BTIG analyst Rich Greenfield says, "I've learned long ago there is not always a connection between reviews and box office and financial success." At the same time, it is imperative for Warners to build DC movies fans love like they do the Marvel pics.

SUICIDE SQUAD: The Illuminati and Occult Symbolism. Posted By Illuminati. Watcher on Jul 1. Hello and welcome to Illuminati.

Watcher. com- your home for exploring the hidden occult symbolism buried in works of pop culture entertainment. I’ve been telling you for months that I suspected the upcoming 2. Suicide Squad would be full of occult symbolism, and the first three minute trailer for it proves it so.

For those of you who aren’t into all of the superhero/comic book stuff; this is a film that follows an assembly of villains as they attempt to save the world. If that sounds a little counter intuitive to you; it should be. This is a concept I’ve covered in the past where we see entertainment giving us a message of the dark hero (or anti- hero), and making us sympathize for them (see my article on Dark Hero Programming in Film and Television): If you take a look at the first trailer for this film, you can see that they are intentionally and blatantly letting us know their message. They flash phrases like: “JUSTICE HAS A BAD SIDE”And you hear talk like this: “Are you the Devil?”“All you need to know is you work for me.”The science fiction genre has long been telling us that advanced beings from another dimension are coming, and that is because THEY are actually trying to evoke them! The practitioners of the occult seek to bring these demonic entities from another dimension and into our world (like Crowley’s Lam entity, the Babalon Workings of L. Ron Hubbard and Jack Parsons to evoke the Whore of Babylon, et.

In noted satanist- Crowleyite’s Kenneth Anger’s Lucifer Rising he shows us that they conduct rituals to try and bring these demonic aliens into our world: In the trailer you hear dialogue like: “There’s rumor that some of them have… abilities.”This falls in line with the subliminal message that these aliens/demons/mutants/superheroes have super abilities that are better than those of human beings. We’re being culled into worshipping these entities, which will eventually turn into the ultimate plan of the antichrist.

We also hear this message…“…maybe Superman was some kind of beacon for them to creep out from the shadows.” …which may not be referring to the Suicide Squad, but other demonic entities that were ‘accidentally’ brought into our dimension (see my Hellboy analysis for more). Watch Madea`S Big Happy Family Youtube. This is also another reference to the alien- god concept I’ve covered in my Batman V Superman occult analysis: The reason I’ve been clamoring to learn more about this film is because I was sure it would feature occult symbolism.

This prediction is based solely on the previous archetypes I’ve seen the actors portray elsewhere. For example, the model turned actress Cara Delevingne plays the witch known as Enchantress- note the crescent moon goddess symbolism on top of her head: You’ve seen that crescent moon many times elsewhere in works of pagan worship- all referencing the moon goddess known as Selene or Diana: I explored it with Adrianne Curry’s Illuminati symbolism: And also in the exploration of the Triple Goddess worship of Eyes Wide Shut: Cara Delevingne has become a common fixture of Illuminati symbolism, so it’s not a surprise that they’re depicting her as the moon goddess witch here. In fact, I revealed her potential satanic connections to the devil worshipping rock group Die Antwoord: Most didn’t recognize the heavy duty symbolism in the trailer that shows her in the bathtub full of blood: It’s a reference to the sacrifice of the goddess and the Illuminati and Occult symbolism of the water and the bathtub- a sacrificial rite. If you doubt any of that- check out the symbol painted above her head: It’s very similar to occultist Aleister Crowley’s Unicursal Hexagram that symbolizes his Thelema religion: Ink Master’s Dave Navarro and others have this symbol tattooed on their body- so there are more links to Hollywood than one would think…Jared Leto is playing the role of Joker in this film- and the Illuminati have been showing us the All Seeing Eye of Horus symbolism through their publicity of the film: He’s been giving us this type of thing for some time now, as I’ve been revealing in a post about Jared Leto’s Satanic Symbolism: You’ll also notice the impeccable timing of this Suicide Squad trailer- releasing just one day before the verdict came back on the Batman- Aurora shooting. Could it be that the Illuminati are playing with the occult and the cosmos by showing us the madmen in real life against the backdrop of madmen in fictional tales? The tarot card for the Joker is called The Fool (it’s also referred to as The Magician) which is translated from Le Mat- meaning “the madman”…I’ve talked about the Illuminati’s obsession with the Tarot card deck with the tragedy of TLC’s Left Eye in my hip hop conspiracy book SACRIFICE: MAGIC BEHIND THE MIC, so I find it intriguing that we see all of these archetypes at play here. Margot Robbie is in this film portraying Harley Quinn: You can see that they are playing on the sexual angle- which is something I’ve warned about in the past with the threat of sexual electronic avatars luring men into the Illuminati digital matrix.

Will Smith plays Deadshot; who has various Illuminati symbols with the All Seeing Eye, the Illuminati triangle, and a potentially occult message on his shirt…If you notice the message on his neck- it says “I AM THE LIGHT, THE WAY” which has two messages within (potentially). One is the “I AM” messaging we see from the occult beliefs of Theosophy which is symbolism of the Integrated Ascended Masters; those that were able to evolve into gods using occult practices.

The other is “THE WAY” which is what Aleister Crowley’s alien entity Holy Guardian Angel is named after with “LAM” (*recall that we see Crowley’s Unicursal Hexagram in this film): Crowley contacted an entity from the “Other Side” named Lam- the first ‘grey’ alien. There are also random images and symbols that I’m seeing throughout the video promotion, like the All Seeing Eyeballs of the occult: There’s the horned goat head of Pan (or Satan) that also has the Hanged Man rope of the Thoth Tarot Card deck if you didn’t catch it in the trailer: We also see the ‘X’s on the logo for the film- which is just another example of the Illuminati Mark of the Beast that I’ve been talking about: It appears that the agenda is unfolding at a more rapid rate. We’ll have to wait until August 2.
