The director and others have criticised Warner Bros over its decision to scrap the superhero movie starring Leslie Grace
Kevin Smith is one of a number of directors who have weighed in over the decision bySpeaking on his YouTube series Hollywood Babble-On, Smith said: “It’s an incredibly bad look to cancel the Latinamovie. I don’t give a shit if the movie was absolute fucking dogshit – I guarantee you that it wasn’t.
Batgirl was scrapped last week by Warner Bros Discovery. No explanation has been given, however, CEO David Zaslav said: “We’re not going to launch a movie until it’s ready.” Speculation that the film’s poor quality was the reason behind the move has been questioned by some in favour of the theory it was more cost-effective for the studio to bury the film.
Theories have been circulating that marketing and promotional costs would have been considerable, and the tax incentive for suppression could have outweighed the goodwill and potential profits that would have come from a release. However, Warner Bros are yet to comment on this speculation. Batgirl co-director Adil El Arbi revealed on Instagram over the weekend that several high-profile Hollywood names had reached out to him and fellow director Bilall Fallah in the wake of the cancellation.
