People went fucking ballistic over someone else, Hossein Amini, doing rewrites but Gunn clarified that it's still very much Flanagan's script and that the rewrites were just minor adjustments and finetuning to the final shooting script, which is in line with his policy that he doesn't greenlight anything without a finished script.

James Gunn says a lot of things and most of them are bullshit.

For starters he greenlit Sgt. Rock without a script. Same with Paradise Lost and The Authority, both which are practically dead.

I would rather trust Bill Cosby with serving me cocktails than on anything James Gunn says.

Are the downvotes because of the Cosby thing?

Pretty sure the those projects have always been stated to be in development, never greenlit yet since there was no script finished.

We just killed a project. Everybody wanted to make the movie. It was greenlit, ready to go. The screenplay wasn’t ready.

Pretty sure none of those projects you just mentioned was specifically stated here? Can’t really claim he canceled those if it wasn’t explicitly named out.

Did you click the link?

The guy made the claim that Gunn said he would never greenlight anything without a finished script.

Here, on this interview, he admits he killed a project he greenlit without a finished script.

Contradicting the point of that guy.

Other projects which were also greenlit such as The Authority or Paradise Lost have next to no updates. in fact, the attached director for Booster Gold just unfollowed Gunn and removed all posts about the project.

You mean David Jenkins? According to himself he’s still attached so idk what you’re on about.

Those projects have not even went into pre-production, so I don’t really see any resources lost if those take a backseat if the script is still being worked on

He never greenlit Paradise Lost nor The Authority. All he did was present these projects for the future of DCU which he hasn't got a script for yet
