There’s James Gunn and Superheroes: The Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and successful moves to DC (Suicide Squad, The Peacemaker series), where he’ll oversee the next shared universe. But not only.
We also owe the very violent Super, which was in the same spirit as Kick-Ass, and Brightburn – L’Enfant du mal, produced by him and released in cinemas in June 2019.
Imagine Clark Kent falling into the dark side of the force with his powers. This was the pitch for this feature film with a touch of horror, which brought in over $33 million worldwide on a budget of $6.
With an average rating of 2.8 out of 5 among AlloCiné viewers, Brightburn is definitely not a nugget that will become a cult over time. But the film will have the rights to a sequel, which is currently being developed by his production company H3 Entertainment. And the project risks getting people talking.
Not so super boy
Because the feature film is one of the projects that the company plans to develop using technologies such as artificial intelligence. Which, in the current context of writer’s block and actor’s strikes, might justifiably upset more than one person. Even when Deadline It doesn’t specify how much AI will be used.
However, the founders of H3 Entertainment promise that they will “Respect professionals and fans, promote technology integration responsibly.” Now it remains to be seen how. And how will James Gunn be involved in this process, since he is currently preparing the real Superman.
