Joss Whedon, director of the well-known Avengers, has finally responded to allegations of misconduct during the filming of films such as Justice League and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
In an interview with New York Magazine, Joss Velden talked about his experience taking over as a Justice League director after Zack Snyder left his job due to a sudden family change.
"They asked me to finish it and I thought I could help." Joss Whedon said and claimed the decision to take over the Justice League project was one of the biggest regrets of his life.
When he first took over, Joss Whedon said he was strictly limited to writing and consulting, but soon Joss Whedon understood that Warner had lost faith in Za's plans for the DC Universe and wanted him to take full control of the situation. A representative for Warner denied the claim, and Zach Snyder publicly revealed that after his daughter committed suicide, he chose to leave the Justice League crew to share it with his family.
After becoming the new director of Justice League, Joss Whedon spent nearly 40 days remaking, admitting that "the relationship between the stars was tense at the beginning because of the change in the director's style." Joss Whedon's directing style is very different from za's because he wants actors to be able to read lines verbatim, while Snyder encourages more creative freedom.
One anonymous staff member said José Whedon said he had "never worked with a more rude actor." It's not just a directorial style, as other actors will continue to criticize his work. As an example, Joss Wedden claims that Wonder Woman's actor Gail Gadot implied that he "doesn't understand how superhero movies work."
Gayle Gadot also publicly stated that during the Justice League remake, if she didn't read Joss Whedon's new lines for Wonder Woman, or didn't follow his instructions, it would "threaten her career." Asked about the allegation, Whedon said: "I didn't threaten anyone else. Who would do that, Gail Gadot just misunderstood what he meant. Whedon said: "English is not her native language after all, and my words may be too exciting." He gave a concrete example when he and Gadot argued about a shot she wanted to cut. Joss Whedon said he was telling her in a joking tone, "If she doesn't want to do it, she's going to have to tie him to the rails and do it on his corpse." ”。 Gadot said in a later email that he fully understood what he meant.
In the face of "steel bones" Ray Fisher pointed out the big name also accused Whedon of abusing his power, revealing that the director even changed the actors' skin color through post-adjustments because he did not like their specific skin color. Joss Wedden said he had spoken to Ray Fisher in a friendly and respectful manner. Fisher's origin introduction was drastically cut because his storyline logic did not make sense, and he felt that Fisher's acting skills were not very good. Regarding the skin color problem, he said that he only lightened the tone of the whole film, so the color of the actor's face was correspondingly lighter.
Joss Wedden was "shocked", saying "he just wanted to make the whole movie look lighter, to brighten the tones of the film with post-production, including the faces of the actors." ”
Other topics were covered in more depth in this interview, including his demeanor during the filming of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly", and his relationship with the actress.
