The trouble behind the latest DC Universe movie has been revealed.
In a new piece from The Hollywood Reporter, several insiders shared the many issues behind the Supergirl film, as there were seemingly creative conflicts between James Gunn and director Craig Gillespie. Per the trade, conflicts began after principal photography, as two cuts of the Kara Zor-El film were presented, one from Gillespie and one from DC Studios itself.
According to THR, Gunn and Gillespie “had creative differences over the direction of the movie,” citing that “the film never found its footing in the post-production process.” The test scores for the DCU installment reportedly “never escaped the 60s,” but a different insider claimed that the highest it ever got was 70.
Supposedly, according to one source, “’They were not creatively aligned’ is the polite way of describing things,” but THR notes that other sources claim that things didn’t get that heated. The outlet specified the following:
“Gunn, Safran and Gillespie had the normal amount of healthy friction any filmmaker and studio have as part of the process of making a movie better. And multiple sources say the duo respect the filmmaking chops of Gillespie, known for guiding Margot Robbie to an Oscar nomination for I, Tonya.”
Supergirl is now playing in theaters.
