That Suicide Squad trailer is so fun, right? Dark, but exciting and funny? Well, apparently, that’s not the movie director David Ayer made. He made something much more serious and, after the success of the trailer, rumour has it reshoots are taking place to add some levity to the movie.
Birth Movies Death says the reason for the reshoots are that “Every joke in the movie is in [the above] trailer”. After the some criticism of the the reshoots are “customary practice”. So just the usual stuff, not the major ones BMD are reporting.
Either way, if there’s a way to improve the film in any way before its release in August, all the better. No one should look at this negatively. If true, it should be viewed as a studio that, no matter what the scope, is putting more money into a movie to make it successful.
We contacted Warner Bros. for confirmation on this but haven’t heard back as of writing. The studio generally generally doesn’t comment on rumours.
