MarkHB August 11, 2017 Author Share August 11, 2017 James Wan talks about the shoot in THR (via Batman-News): "It's a very technically challenging shoot to be on," said Wan as he was being shuttled to the film's Australia set. "Working with water, and even the dry-for-wet sequences are very complex. … Our equivalent of two people sitting around chatting in the underwater world is super complicated. You have to think about CG with the hair, and how their clothing moves, how are they floating, what kind of rig we put them on and all that stuff."

JessePinkman June 19, 2018 Share June 19, 2018 Warner Bros. boss worries that ‘Aquaman’ won’t be ready in time for its release date Quote As part of Entertainment Weekly’s big Aquaman reveal, they spoke to newly appointed Warner Bros. chairman Toby Emmerich. This is definitely one of the strangest interviews I’ve read, because Emmerich answers a lot of the questions candidly as an executive, not as a PR hype machine. He answers questions in a way that we’re not used to hearing. For example, just look at how Emmerich answered the very first question that Entertainment Weekly asked: What excites you about having Aquaman in your pipeline? That it’s coming out this year. I’m excited to have it in as the last Warner Bros. release in 2018. What a weird response. I wonder how worried they really are about the release date, they've been very shy to show any footage (which I'm fine with, the movie is still 6 months away) but I'm concerned the underwater effects aren't working out as well as they'd hoped. I can't imagine how hard it is to make a film set primarily underwater with real people talking and breathing. If it doesn't look exactly right it will definitely take people out of the movie.

I've heard that cover with the three of them (as opposed to just Jason) is an exclusive to Barnes & Noble. I think you might have heard wrong. I subscribe to EW and that's the one I got. The article actually made me excited for the movie for the first time. After underwhelming JL and not really caring for Aquaman in it (just seemed like a typical "bro" that they were trying too hard to prove was "cool") I was pretty cool on the idea of seeing an Aquaman standalone movie. The article however makes me think this could be a cool movie. Maybe what DC needed was to get the need for a team-up out of their system and now they can focus on bringing good standalone films to the screen. Wonder Women is their best movie yet because it was the only one in which they were not trying to be Marvel, either by rushing to their team-up or trying to emulate the Guardians success with Suicide Squad, or working with a character they obviously dislike and find dull (Superman). It for the most part stood on it's own merits and delivered successfully. Hopefully they can see what worked with Wonder Women last year and bring it to their films going forward with Aquaman. They definitely have some good cast in it who I have liked in other roles, and a good director. I am actually pretty optimistic about it now. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45076-aquaman-2018/#findComment-4426522

scarynikki12 July 14, 2018 Share July 14, 2018 No way will they release the trailer before the con. They're hoping to recreate the Wonder Woman moment from a couple years ago, where the WW trailer blew the roof off Hall H.

Or it shows they are worried and don't want to spend the money on advertising so they can try to break even if doesn't do well.

Oh, it'll be Saturday at SDCC; the WB Pictures panel is at 11:00 Pacific time, and we're expecting a trailer for Aquaman, one for Shazam (this is the only SDCC before it releases) and some kind of a tease (or just a still photo of Kristin Wiig in full Cheetah makeup) for Wonder Woman 1984. I'm guessing that everything will be online shortly thereafter. I honestly don't think the lack of any Aquaman footage to date is due to concern about the movie; I think it's because the film will have to be so heavily CGI-layered (because people can't actually talk underwater, etc.) that it's taking a very long time to get ready. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45076-aquaman-2018/#findComment-4494299
