HULLFISH: About half of the editors I’ve talked to like to create selects reels…maybe a bit more than half. Everybody’s got their process. One of the things that struck me about this story – and many stories – but this one in particular – was the intercutting of stories back and forth between one place and another or one person’s perspective and another. Was that something that you had to tweak a lot from what was delivered with the script? Or in creating the story you found you needed to either break those up more or consolidate them more from the way they were in the script?BRENNER: In the script there were more story lines than you see in the movie today. That was probably our biggest editorial issue in trying to get the cut down to a reasonable length. For us, the trickiest section was the beginning of the film, until the point where Bruce Wayne tells Alfred the truth about what is on the “White Portugese” ship… the truth about his plan. This moment set into motion everything until the end of the film really. Until that point the movie was always tracking many solo paths, some intersecting, some not. Finally in this scene, the paths fork into one road. In the script there are more subplots than you see in the movie right now. Also in terms of building this beginning we had to move things around. In the script, Lex was introduced much later, but we found that in watching the movie – because he’s such an important player, it was best to set him up sooner. Plus, his presence has so much energy, a twisted comic energy that boosted the film. Generally, BvS was a unique challenge in that we had not one but two protagonists, each with an alter-ego. So there was Clark Kent, Superman, Bruce Wayne and Batman. And then surrounding them are Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Wallace Keefe (the guy who loses his legs when Wayne Tower falls), Perry White, Martha Kent, Holly Hunter’s character (Senator Finch), and still more characters orbiting them.HULLFISH: That’s a LOT to juggle.BRENNER: It was a lot to juggle. So the plot lines of a couple characters had to go. These people are currently in the movie but we don’t track them, and it’s okay. What’s kind of fun is that we went back and did an extended cut where we put a lot of this stuff back, and we refined it into the same rhythm as the theatrical release. So what was once a nearly four hour cut with absolutely everything was ridiculous – ended up being about a three hour cut, once all these added storylines were refined with the fat was cut out.
* Superman en nouveau Messie : j'ai vu vite fait que pas mal ici n'avaient pas aimé toutes les comparaisons religieuses (dieu/homme/diable) mais chez moi, ça a fait mouche.
Côté points noirs, j'ai eu du mal avec tous les teasers pour la Ligue des Justiciers. Il y en a tellement que ça devenait ultra poussif au bout d'un moment (Wonder Woman qui regarde TOUS les dossiers, non quoi. Les symboles suffisaient amplement).
Le cauchemar de Bruce est ultra WTF (j'ai adoré la réaction des mecs devant moi d'ailleurs) mais offre de jolis scènes post-apocalyptiques. Le moment le plus chelou étant Machin (Flash, j'imagine ?) qui avertit Bruce que Loïs est la clé. J'imagine que les lecteurs de comics ont compris les références mais moi, j'ai rien capté.
Sans considérer l'aspect teaser poussif, pour "l'ouverture des dossiers", autant j'ai trouvé les scènes avec Flash et Cyborg bien fichues, autant celle avec Aquaman faisait pas très réaliste "oh je sors de mon trou".
Le premier rêve est un futur possible et une référence notamment à Injustice: Gods Among Us où Superman est devenu un dictateur suite à la mort de Lois.

D'accord, et concernant la vision de Flash alors? A en lire certains, ça n'a pas semblé aussi évident que tu l'affirmes, problème de cerveau là aussi?
C'est moins évident oui, donc tu restes avec un "Huh ?"... et en voyant Justice League tu capteras que c'est Flash en voyant le costume donc.Je ne vois pas en quoi être devant une scène qui te laisse "Huh ?" serait une mauvaise chose,
* L'opposition Batman/Superman est bien menée, leur combat est également très sympa, même s'il se conclut bien vite. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'humiliation que subit Batman lors de leur tout premier face-à-face.
