There's reportedly a Batman film trilogy coming soon, and filmmaker, Batman fan and Ben Affleck friend Kevin Smith wants in. He said that he'd like to see an adaptation of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, directed by Mad Max's George Miller. "Now, this is a great combination of material and filmmaker," he said. "The man can direct....Give the story of the old Batman to the 70-year-old director who made the amazing-looking Fury Road. It's a no-brainer." He suggested further that he might reach back out to Batman and Robin's George Clooney, saying that he's got a better Batman in him and it could be interesting to see him try to redeem what happened before.
Despite the lackluster response at the box office for Ben Affleck's new film 'Batman v Superman;' the actor is not ready to hang up the suit just yet. It was confirmed and released on Wednesday that Ben Affleck has written a movie script for a new solo 'Batman' movie. Affleck is not stranger to being a screenwriter, as he already has one Oscar under his belt for screenwriting 'Good Will Hunting.' Affleck also does not stand alone. Kevin Smith expressed his greatest support of the new script at the Freep Film Festival on Thursday night, saying that he believes Affleck could win another Oscar with the work. So be on the lookout Batman fans, you haven't seen the last of him.
Despite mixed reviews on playing Batman, Ben Affleck seems to have a fan in Kevin Smith. According to comicbook.com, Smith recently defended Affleck's performance in Batman Vs. Superman. The comic book buff said that Affleck's performance was the one thing people didn't complain about. “There were people going, ‘This movie’s got a lot of issues, ironically, Affleck as Batman is not one of them.’ That was my recollection of people’s reaction to BVS. They had issues with the tone and the darkness and sh-t like that, but he was the one thing that most people agreed was really good in the movie.”
According to UPROXX, Kevin Smith considers the harsh criticism of Ben Affleck’s Batman performance as ‘unfairly Maligned’ In a recent episode of his podcast, Fat Man on Batman, Smith defended Affleck, and shines a light on the fact that much of criticism given is really aimed at the tone of movies and not Affleck’s actual performance. [“People] had issues with the tone and the darkness and sh*t like that, but he was the one thing that most people agreed was really good in the movie.”
Ben Affleck has worked with Kevin Smith numerous times. Affleck has appeared in several of Smith's film, including "Mallrats" and "Chasing Amy." Uproxx reports the relationship between the two is broken. Smith says it's because he (Smith) keeps telling stories about Affleck that he shouldn't. Smith has a new movie in the works. Affleck was asked whether his characters from Mallrats (Shannon Hamilton) or Chasing Amy (Holden McNeil) will show up in the new film. ---I haven’t been asked to make an appearance, but you never know, there’s still time. We’ll see.--- ---I would defer to Kevin.---
Ben Affleck recently decided to step down from the director's seat for the upcoming DC Batman film. Fans immediately reached out to Kevin Smith, asking him to take Affleck's place. Smith wrote on Twitter, saying that it'd be "impossible" for him to direct Batman for the following reasons, "1) Haven’t spoken to Ben in years. 2) I made YogaHosers, 3) Common sense." He also appeared in a YouTube interview "to discuss his thoughts on Affleck’s departure.
Ben Affleck has admitted one of the challenges of his upcoming Monopoly-inspired flick is making sure they get "the right tone".
Kevin Smith recently announced the latest celebrity to join the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. According to Uproxx, Chris Hemsworth will be joining the sequel. He’s a newcomer @chrishemsworth and I’m predicting right here that Chris is gonna take Tinsel Town by storm one day!
Kevin Smith’s Jay and Silent Bob reboot is so big it’s been bringing back the whole View Askewverse crew, although probably not Ben Affleck as Holden. Since Jason Lee’s Banky may be coming back, why not Alyssa Jones, the heroine of Smith’s third (and still most serious) picture, Chasing Amy, played by Joey Lauren Adams.
