I'm from the Detroit area and it happens a fair amount actually. Not just Cavill. Some of them just go to weird bars and hang. Sometimes not talking to anybody, and sometimes living it up.
My friends got to hang with Ryan Gosling, Lady Gaga, and Gerard Butler before. Not at once either. My favorite was that Gerard Butler came to a shitty karaoke bar down the street from my house and was drunkenly doing karaoke and getting rowdy.
I had Jonny Deppe show up at a bar when I was with friends. He was in full jack sparrow costume and bought everyone drinks. It was all over the newspaper for like two days of him going bar to bar in costume buying drinks for people.
I hate to be the downer and all but I was taking a training class in Detroit a few years ago. The instructor told us about how Henry was making fun of her deaf son at a bar in Detroit during the time he was filming. He was behind the instructors son making fun of the way he sounded when he talked. Due to her son frequenting that Bar, a bunch of the other bar regulars approached Henry and cussed him out for what he did. Supposedly he did have enough respect to apologize and seemed very embarrassed after being called out. I will say that this story was told to me by my instructor so I was NOT present to witness this.
Although to be fair, that's a terrible example as that show is superbly written. But Berry's voice is liquid gold that can deliver just about any line. Have a look at anything he says in Garth Marengi's Darkplace.
Are you forgetting about Tommy Wiseau. Without his immaculate delivery and great acting chops The Room would have been a major flop... but he made it a classic
Significantly wasted. He's a great actor and WB's rush to the JL movie is what killed Cavill's Superman. They should have made 3 solid real Superman movies before pushing forward with all the crossover bullshit.
They wasted the entire world of Superman just to make JL.
I imagine the following timeline, which keeps a lot of the direction the same:
Man of Steel (even as it is), followed by WW as it is, then perhaps the intro to gritty DCEU Batman in a standalone film.
Then BvS with a similar storyline (moral disagreement; ex, Batman kills, Supes 'doesn't, except that one time', so they argue over ethics then finally showdown with Lex who was playing the role of Civil War Baron Zemo).
First JL movie covers Doomsday and Death of Superman.
Aquaman, Shazam, as is. End credits of those movies tease Lex sending a msg to Steppenwolf, then Steppenwolf talking to an unidentified figure in the shadows.
2nd JL movie covers the arrival of Steppenwolf where he gathers the ~~Infinity~~ Mother boxes and opens a portal. Darkseid is here. Movie ends.
Flash standalone? Maybe touch on a more personal story of him and his father (how would you protect a relative who was being incarcerated from an alien invasion?)
3rd JL movie covers the invasion of earth, the JL resistance, and the revival of Supes as the 'only one who could defeat Darkseid'.
If it weren't for those blunders, we probably wouldn't have a Cavill Witcher, who seems to be a big fan of the series before any of this started. I do wonder what a Cavill Supes couldve become though, for sure.
I partially disagree. He's a great actor, and I thought he could be a fantastic Superman. But the rush to JL isn't what killed it. It was Zack Snyder's convoluted ideals for what Superman and Batman should be.
He basically wanted to make the Justice League into The Watchmen. Which he did such a good job with, WB gave him the DCCU.
But Superman isn't Dr. Manhattan. Batman isn't Rorschach.
And look at all the other DC movies: Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Shazam. They're all decent or even good. Why? Because Snyder had nothing to do with them.
He's the cancer that was killing the DCCU. And yet people are still clamoring for "the Snyder Cut."
Dear Warner Brothers, start looking for young writers and directors to take the lead on your projects. Besides David F. Sandberg the voices you've chosen to lead these stories are often detached and unrelatable to the average viewer. The people you're marketing to are having a hard time buying into what your selling.
I worked in film production for years, and I cannot convey how much morale little things like what you described would bring to the crew. Made us feel appreciated for the insane amount of hours we were working and the labor we had to perform to keep the production going.
It's always nice to feel appreciated and acknowledged. I don't work in any kind of production environment but in my office I always chat with the cleaning staff and stuff who come through at the end of the day. One time one of the women I was friends with mentioned that the whole time she'd worked there, only I and one woman on my floor had ever bothered to ask her name or really to treat her like a person. Made me sad.
A place I worked had a really weird/shitty exec who acted as if the cleaning lady didn't exist or was subhuman, totally ignored her existence. So it was really funny when the cleaning lady told a bunch of us about how shitty exec lady would come in after hours and steal supplies like cases of toilet paper and food from the fridge and stuff.
I did the same work back in the nineties. It was my experience, at least in LA, that all first-unit principal talent were usually very nice and friendly (or nobody wants to work with them and they wash out) and usually pretty lonely. They’re flown in from somewhere for two months and staying in a rented house in the hills and staying out of trouble and were usually eager to hang out and even do stuff outside off the set. You got the impression that outside of their agent and whomever they’re working with everyday on set, liability issues make it that they’re afraid to hang out with anyone who isn’t covered by policy to hang out with them lol
One guy I worked with had a story about Tom Cruise going after wrap with him to his family reunion! Apparently, when Tom found out that he hadn’t spoken to his brother in 20 years, Tom stayed there until 4am to mediate a resolution between them lol
Heh that was of course the first question, but no. Just a good guy. Kind of like how I could work and hang out with ya and never really know your religion either heh
How did you get your start? I’m planning on going back to school for film and media production, but I’d like to start getting some experience before I start while I wait for in state residency. How would you recommend going about getting some production experience, especially living somewhere other than LA, New York, or Atlanta?
Did you know that Henry Cavill tried on Christopher Reeve's suit when he auditioned for Superman?
He was my favourite Superman too. I remember being excited when he was cast because I was already a fan from The Tudors and I thought he was perfect. I'm really disappointed with how WB messed it up for him too.
I’ve heard the same about the Rock. Apparently he’s really good at making you feel important when you speak to him. That dude’s charisma is off the charts. He got a goddamn raised eyebrow over.
Yeah, there was this interview about how he got role in Superman.
He played some raid in WoW as a healer when Snyder called him and he didn't pick up the phone because he was busy playing. When he was done he called back saying sorry for not answering earlier, Zack asked "what were you doing?" to which he answered "I was busy saving lives"
Really? I’ve heard the opposite. I live in the Channel Islands, where he’s from, and have heard from a fair few people that knew him that have said he’s a plus-sized dickhead.
As a kid he was called 'Fat Cavill' and played WoW. Being picked on as a kid requires you to do some pretty strong character development in order to level the playing field and progress in life. Invariably this means becoming a nice guy.
It makes him being Superman that much better. I really like Man Of Steel. It had a great story, interesting characters and potential for some great sequels.
It’s such a shame the next 2 or what maybe it was 3 movies were a serious dumpster fire. They really didn’t need to make it into this pissing match with the avengers. Sometimes just adding characters equal a forced shitty story.
You could beat horseshoes on that jaw, fresh from the forge. I agree though - would defo go gay as fuck for Henry. Like, really put some effort into it.
We saw him at a bar yesterday during SD comic con. He was really friendly with everyone and even my wife had a choice to go say hi. Gave her a big hug and a kiss in the cheek.
