James Gunn Says the “Movie Industry Is Dying” Due to Films Being Made With Unfinished Scripts

The filmmaker and co-head of DC Studios admitted that they "just killed a project" because "the screenplay’s not good."

The filmmaker and co-head of DC Studios recently told Rolling Stone that a lot of the bad movies being released are due to production dates being set before scripts are completely finished. When Gunn took over at the helm of DC Studios with Peter Safran, he emphasized that superhero films under his guidance would not go into production until scripts were finalized. Not having a mandate from Warner Bros. to deliver a certain number of DC projects has also helped Gunn, as the Guardians of the Galaxy director believes Disney’s previous mandate to increase Marvel films and TV shows “killed them.” Disney CEO Bob Iger has since refocused Marvel on quality over quantity.
