David Ayer is still supporting the “Ayer Cut” and James Gunn’s reason to really retain

Almost a decade has passed since then Suicide Squad Hit theaters and director David Ayer He is not yet letting his original vision go to the film. While the DC universe is in complete restart mode James Gunn AND Peter SafranAyer continues to defend the release of his much discussed “Ayer Cut”.

But in a recent conversation, he also showed an understanding of why it has not yet happened. While promoting his new film A man who worksAyer was asked by the Hollywood journalist if something has changed regarding Warner Bros. Discovery on Ayer’s cut.

He replied: “Yes, for sure. When I spoke with James [Gunn]he wanted [first] Get some scores on the scoreboard. DC has its history and his inheritance, and it takes some work to restore that IP and make it move in the direction they want. So it’s absolutely right for them to do it. “

This is a big round compared to the beginning of this year when Ayer seemed ready to let him go completely. Now, with the DCU finding its foot, starting from Commandos creature And imminent of Gunn Superman Restart, he has the feeling that Ayer is playing a long game.

Gunn has a lot on his dish right now Superman, Pacifier Season 2 and more Commandos creature. He is also working on a project that has not yet been announced. But Gunn is not completely closing the idea of ​​Ayer’s cut, he has only other priorities right now.

This is something Ayer respects. He shared: “Yes, perhaps with enough time, it will be seen as a more nostalgic thing. But only for the good of all those who worked [2016’s Suicide Squad]It really deserves to be seen.

“I am incredibly proud of the work I did there. But at the same time, it’s not my IP, and it’s not my study. So I absolutely understand what James is doing and I think it will have real successes with the lanes that is going down.”

When previously Ayer was asked about his greatest hollywood crackle, he explained it Suicide Squad He broke: “Hollywood – I tell people – it’s like looking at someone you love to be fucked by someone you hate. That’s great Suicide Squad. That shit broke me. This brought my ass. “

Every time he talks about this experience he always explains how the study has screwed it. This is what he says about how everything went to pieces for the movie:

“Come immediately FuryRight? I had the city in my hand – I could have done anything, and I did anything, and and [I] go to this trip with [Suicide Squad]. And the same thing: authentic, sincere, we do all the tests, we really go to the souls of the other.

“We create this extraordinary, collaborative, right? And then Dead Pool open, right? And they never tested Batman v. SupermanSo they expected a different result, and then they were hammered by all critics. Then it’s like “Okay, we will transform the dark and full of David Ayer’s feeling in the comedy of AF ** King Now.” “

When previously spoke of his original cut of the film, the director said: “Everything I know is that my invisible film plays much better than the study version. The interest in my cut was real and organic”.

He also said about the film: “This was the most difficult part of my career. I made a fantastic movie. I shot a fantastic movie. I go recorded. Anyone who wants to contest it: come and watch me in the eyes.

“Having something that I put so much love and so much heart to be taken away, reinforced … do you know that Eric Andre Meme in which he shoots the boy and says:” Why did you do it? “It was like Suicide Squad. “Why did you do it?” I didn’t do it. “

He continued to talk about the criticisms he received for the film, saying: “Every time a new film comes out in that space he recovers. I am attacked for something I have not done.

“It is rather unfair, and at the end of the day, at this point, I understand, it is company America. It is corporate IP. You know that these are companies of many billion dollars, but I think to tear the courage from such a director is rather unfair.”

When asked about the possibility of a unique projection, Ayer said: “I would like a projection of” last rites “. A funeral projection, you know, even just unite the cast and the crew to show them what they actually did. That it would be right for everyone”.

In the meantime, Ayer seems really curious to see where Gunn and Safran take the universe later. With Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Clay, LanternAND Paradise has lost All in development, there is a lot for DC fans who can’t wait.
