>The movie will follow Matt Hagen, a handsome up-and-coming actor who’s attacked and disfigured. Originally from Gotham, he moves to Hollywood to escape his troubled past and begin a career as an actor. With his disfigurement, his career and outlet as an actor is ruined and is eventually transformed into a shapeshifting monster.

>Hagen’s love interest and co-star is Dr. Caitlin Bates, an original character created for the film. She is the CEO of a biotech startup seeking to create cutting-edge medical technology. Bates sees Hagen as a way to grow her company and cure his condition. Throughout the process she falls in love with him while her fiance John grows suspicious of their relationship. John is a detective and committed to Caitlin and his job. The antagonist of the film is set to be a crime boss, who like Caitlin and John, is another original character. At the moment, the film is not set to feature any recognizable DC Comics characters and most notably no apperances or references to Batman.

grow up

...what the fuck is the second paragraph? I thought this was supposed to be a horror movie?

So this will be DC's Morbius?

>>212761174
Basically.

>what if the struggling narcissist who became mindbroken after being turned into a monster was actually…le sympathetic?
Why do they keep doing this?
He doesn’t need redemption, he got his karma
TAS has him die after they mindbroke him further by showing him all those old photos of himself
You don’t need to save everyone, why is Hollywood so obsessed with le tragic antihero?
What is heroic about Clayface? He was a sleazeball actor who took mob deals, he got what he deserved

>>212760699 (OP)
Damn wish I had that dude’s face structure.

why are they making this

>>212762504
Because Mike Flanagan made the script

Why is hollywood so obsessed with cuckshit?

>>212760699 (OP)
>an original character created for the film
why?

>>212760699 (OP)
>>212762127
So Clayface is going to be played by a guy with chiseled features.

>>212760699 (OP)
How doe a one get such a sculpted face?

>>212761100
>doesn't read comics
>never saw the Emmy award winning "Feat of Clay" episode of Batman: The Animated Series
>Just some dead eyed contrarian Zoomer with an opinion on the internet

Plebian.

>>212763245
I did see that episode. It's one of the most horror-adjacent episodes in the entire Batman animated series run. Given that horror movies typically have lower budgets and outsized returns, and this would basically be the same premise as Substance but with a recognizable IP attached to it--I'm surprised Warner didn't go with a darker story.

He's CLAY FACIN' IT!

1) be clayface

>original characters
>no batman
No thanks

>>212760699 (OP)
This would work if Bates was full psycho and John was actually the good guy. I'm guessing no and that plot will literally be Morbius.

>>212762603
Because hardly anyone in Hollywood gives a shit about the actual comics.
They just want to use some property to get their half baked script and "original" ideas on screen

>>212760699 (OP)
Weird they didn’t kept him a fag as in the DCAU version
As a kid I was surprised how obvious they made it

It's funny. This is so vaugue and far from the charavter it could almost have just as been a Sony sequel to Kraven about his brother Chameleon becoming an actor.
That movie already totally fucked up the characters in it.

>>212764392
Huh. I missed that as a kid and I kept remembering that it was his brother or something.

>>212760699 (OP)

"Hey kids -- we're going to see the Clayface movie!"

"Uhhh -- gee Weekend Dad. I have homework. I'd rather stay and do that."

>>212764428
The Doctor they mentioned, Miles Warren, was the guy that cloned Spider-Man. It would be hilarious if Sony did a clone saga without Spidey and introduced their own Scarlet Spider.

>>212760699 (OP)
>and most notably no apperances or references to Batman.
Ahhh the Sony Spiderverse tactic of getting retards to watch

>>212765487
Kids? It’s an r rated horror movie

>>212761174
>>212761811
Yes but with a significantly lower budget and a way more profitable genre.

>>212762504
Because horror is a license to print money.

>>212762561
Flanagan is a shit writer.

>>212762928
Mewing.

ITS CLAYIN TIME

Kek

Horrorfags will eat any slop they're served

>>212768855
You keep saying it's a horror film but there is no evidence of that

>>212760699 (OP)
>standalone villain movie
end this fucking genre

>>212768901
>written by Mike Flanagan (primarily known for horror)
>directed by James Watkins (primarily known for horror)
>"A Hollywood horror tale centering on a B-movie actor who injects himself with a substance to keep himself relevant" (basically a rip off of The Substance which was a horror film)
>Gunn described it as "violent and sexual"
>will open in September/October which is prime horror film territory

No point replying to me btw, I'll just ignore you.

>>212760699 (OP)
>absorbs females
>becomes gay
wow

that's why they are making this, they are gonna have tranny sex scenes

>>212760699 (OP)
Why is it they are not faithfully adapting the BTAS episode again? I mean, the script is done already, and is great. Why change the story completely and make up new characters? Is it because directors feel embarrased about comics or is it because they think they are superior to the source material?

>>212760699 (OP)
Childless nu-male manchildren have destroyed cinema. Can’t you faggots just enjoy the memory of your comic book escape fantasies from when you were a kid? Grow the fuck up you autistic virgins

>>212760699 (OP)
Will he meet Madame Web?

>>212762504
Gunn's DCU strategy is to make genre films and foreign language films.

>>212761174
Joker.

Have a hot guy as a main character and decide to make him hideous. Smart.

> No one took teens to see the Deadpool movies

>adapt Basil Karlo
>call him Matt Hagen
why?
what a pedantic and pointless change that just muddies the waters

> Originally from Gotham, he moves to Hollywood
So no batman, got it.
>WHY DID IT FLOP? PROBABLY NEEDED MORE NIGGERS AND TRANNIES

At first it sounded like a The Fly ripoff so

>>212762504
The new capeshit meta is disguising it as an "art film" so people can feel smart for watching it and it can win awards. It's still capeshit, just ripping off other things. In this case, A Different Man (2024).

>>212764392
>WOKE ONLY STARTED AFTER LIKE 2016 OR SOMETHING
Lol, people are getting existential crisis up the ass once they grow up and go back to content from their childhood. It was always like this.

>>212774392
did you miss the part that said he's a shapeshifting monster?

>>212775782
Did you miss the part where Basil Karlo has also been a shapeshifting monster in canon for over 20 years now?
