#ReleaseTheAyerCut? David Ayer posted an emotional letter criticizing the studio cut of #SuicideSquad: “The studio cut is not my movie." bit.ly/3xc7aoC
“I put my life into Suicide Squad. I made something amazing – My cut is intricate and emotional journey with some ‘bad people’ who are shit on and discarded (a theme that resonates in my soul),” Ayer wrote. bit.ly/3xc7aoC
"...My cut is not the 10 week director’s cut – It’s a fully mature edit by Lee Smith standing on the incredibly work by John Gilroy. It’s all Steven Price’s brilliant score, with not a single radio song in the whole thing," he added. bit.ly/3xc7aoC
Ayer continued, “It has traditional character arcs, amazing performances, a solid 3rd Act resolution. A handful of people have seen it. If someone says they have seen it, they haven’t.” bit.ly/3xc7aoC
Will this letter prompt DC to #ReleaseTheAyerCut? After “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” many fans begged Warner Bros. to release Ayer’s vision. But WarnerMedia Studios CEO Ann Sarnoff said in March that the studio will not “be developing David Ayer’s cut.” bit.ly/3xc7aoC
In the letter, Ayer also praised director James Gunn, whose new #TheSuicideSquad film is out on August 6. bit.ly/3xc7aoC
“I’m so proud of James and excited for the success that’s coming. I support WB and am thrilled the franchise is getting the legs it needs. I’m rooting for everyone...Every movie is a miracle. And James’ brilliant work will be the miracles of miracles.” bit.ly/3xc7aoC
