“Hollywood, I tell people, is like watching someone you love get f***ed by someone you hate,” Ayer advised Jon Bernthal. “The big one is Suicide Squad. That sh** broke me. That handed me my ass.”
Ayer defined that he took the venture on after finishing Fury, the 2014 battle drama starring Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf.
“I had the town in my hand, could’ve done anything, and I did do anything. And [I] go on this journey with [Suicide Squad],” he recalled.
“And the same thing — authentic, truthful, let’s do all the rehearsal, let’s really get in each other’s souls. Let’s create this amazing, collaborative thing, right?”
But he says the movie took on a distinct tone after the likes of Deadpool and Batman v Superman got here out.
“And then Deadpool opened … and they never tested Batman v Superman so they were expecting a different result, and then they got hammered by all the critics. Then it’s like, ‘Okay, we’re going to turn David Ayer’s dark, soulful movie into a f***ing comedy now.’”
Ayer has been outspoken about his emotions concerning the Suicide Squad minimize that critics panned when it hit theatres in 2016.
The director lately mentioned that new DC boss James Gunn promised Ayer his unseen model of the movie “would have its time to be shared.”
“All I know is my unseen film plays much better than the studio release. The interest in my cut being show seems real and organic,” he lately tweeted. “[Gunn] absolutely deserves to launch his DC universe without more drama about old projects.”
In 2021, Ayer mentioned he created an “amazing” director’s minimize, per Variety, that includes “a fully mature edit” and a “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. If someone says they have seen it, they haven’t,” Ayer mentioned.
When HBO’s streaming service launched Zack Snyder’s ‘Snyder cut’ of Justice League in 2021, which streams domestically on Binge, Ayer requested his followers to push for the discharge of his Suicide Squad minimize, a transfer which even Will Smith supported.
