David Ayer Puts 'Suicide Squad' Studio Cut on Blast in an Emotional Post

The Suicide Squad director spoke out regarding his 2016 effort, and the studio’s revision of his original vision, in an emotional letter on Thursday (July 29).

“I put my life into Suicide Squad. I made something amazing. My cut is intricate and emotional journey with some bad people who are s–t on and discarded (a theme that resonates in my soul),” he said.

“The studio cut is not my movie. Read that again. And my cut is not the 10 week director’s cut – it’s a fully mature edit by Lee Smith standing on the incredible work by John Gilroy,” he continued.

“It’s all Steven Price’s brilliant score, with not a single radio song in the whole thing. It has traditional character arcs, amazing performances, a solid third-act resolution. A handful of people have seen it.”

“I never told my side of the story and never will … I’m old school like that. So I kept my mouth shut and took the tsunami of sometimes shocking personal criticism,” he continued, adding he is “so proud” of The Suicide Squad director James Gunn.

“I support WB and am thrilled the franchise is getting the legs it needs … James’ brilliant work will the miracles of miracles…I will no longer speak publicly on the matter.”

Viola Davis is looking back at her time on the set of Suicide Squad, and confirming a long standing rumor.

But, the CBS show will have all the other characters mentioned in the book, like Clarice Starling, her colleague Ardelia Mapp, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Paul Krendler, the late serial killer Buffalo Bill, and a few others. “I’m still trying to understand how the rights are divided,” Alex shared with the magazine about the legality of it all, but he’s okay with that too. Turns out that not having access to Hannibal hasn’t been limiting. “It’s bee...

Sóller hike followed by a healthy vegan lunch

By
We got a group of friends together (of various ages and fitness levels) to hike around the hills surrounding the Mallorcan town of Sóller, in the northwest of the island. There are many quite easy trails but usually, it involves a bit of hiking up and downhill. We began our walk at the first roundabout after the tunnel and climbed for about 25 minutes uphill after that it was reasonably flat for the next hour or so. The final part was decent into the town of Sóller where we had booked a private vegan brunch for our group. Barbara and Martjin opened Ecocirer in March 2018 as a vegan hotel with 6 bedrooms in the town of Sóller. It is the ideal accommodation for a family celebration if you would like to enjoy healthy vegan food with plenty of activities to get you out into the beautiful nature surrounding the picturesque town. The expe...
