Ayer sui reshoots:
"Earlier this week, David Ayer sent out a tweet to address rumors that Warner Bros. was mandating Suicide Squad reshoots to add more humor to the film. Of course, that response was very brief due to Twitters 140-character limit. In the video below, Collider gets the Fury director to give a much more in-depth response. "If they don’t like your movie they tend to not want to invest in it. If they love your movie, they give you what you want. And I don’t think there’s any director that finishes a movie and says, ‘Wow that’s perfect, that’s what I really want it to be.’ Every movie I’ve ever made I wish I could go and grab some additional stuff and that’s exactly the chance I got this time. It’s like getting a new car but you get fancy rims and a new stereo."
Ayer also touched on how he strove to make a film that would appeal to non-comic book fans and those who have maintained a Wednesday pull-list for years on end. A longtime DC Comics reader, Ayer stated that he put a lot of effort into crafting subtle references that comic book fans would pick up on. "Well the film has to work on two levels, it’s gotta work for the people that know and love the comics and it’s gotta work for the people that know nothing about the comics, and I think it’s gonna work for both. I dug deep in this and really researched the canon, pulled storylines from a lot of different sources, characters from a lot of different sources, and it all works together really well. But I think for someone that doesn’t know any of it, it works great too. It’s dense, let’s just say it’s really dense. There’s a lot of imagery, there’s a lot of nods, and there’s a lot of Easter Eggs."
