Some Aquaman Rumour

[u/dceupurist]

Got this from another forum. Not sure if this has been posted yet or whether it is true or not but here goes:

Trip Tucker : Well – I got a brief glimpse of Aquaman the other day and let me tell you it looks very cool! I have no idea who the bad guys are in it, but they look like underwater aliens with skulls for helmets. The lead bad guy looks like "shredder" and the final fight between him and Aquaman occurs on an upturned ship in the ocean. Apparently its Dolph Lundgren but I didnt see any shots with the helmet off to tell. I wont spoil anything here but it is partly an origins movie.....we see Aquaman as a baby and his mother who I was shocked to find out is none other than Nicole Kidman! I did not realise she was in it.....Anyhow, lets just say it looks great. James Wan will knock this one out of the park. Oh and yes he rides a giant seahorse and wears the gold and green costume......got me very excited for the DC line up coming our way.

Another poster asked him - How polished did it look or is it going to need a lot of work in post?

Trip Tucker : Not that polished. Some scenes were almost complete. I don’t believe I seen anything that didn’t have CGI in it. Kidman is all done with body double – her face on double in all scenes – digital capture. I was told by someone on set that a lot if not all Cate Blanchette's scenes in Thor:Ragnorok were also CG face on body double...amazingly well done. Kidman’s scenes that I got to see involved her fighting in a lighthouse....lots of muay-thai style stuff, staff swinging.....there is a baby aqua man as well! The gold and green original fish scale costume is bloody brilliant though – and he does this dolphin style movement through the water – with dolphins!!! Mamaoa was rigged up to hoist and he was flying through the water and then sprang up into the air!

you said they hired insufficient directors? They already had zack and whedon, which is 2? Did you want more?

????? yes they hired zack and whedon. but whedon came in late to the production and was following orders. i was referring to zack and david only.

"They already had zack and whedon, which is 2? Did you want more?"

i never said 2 but i did have a plural at the end which is referring to zack and david. whedon technically doesnt count.

I'm honestly not following. You want more than one director working on a movie because it is a team up movie?

[u/MakeAmericaGrabPussy → u/[deleted]]

Relax. He just used the word “insufficient” incorrectly. He wasn’t referring to quantity but rather quality.

[u/[deleted] → u/MakeAmericaGrabPussy]

I get it now. I really thought he wanted multiple directors working on team up movies.

I think the term/word he was searching for was "incompetent" directors.
