Emmy-Winner Jake Hamilton (@JakesTakes) sits down to talk with the stars and director of AQUAMAN -- Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson and director James Wan!
I am here for Patrick Wilson, he was perfect in Watchmen and I believe his ocean master helmet is a reference to his Owl mask. They look similar in a weird way...Especially the eyes! Thanks Wan for aknowledging that!
If we didnt have zack snyder, we could have had a good friendship and heart warming trust built between batman and superman, we could have also had an accurate batman and superman
In THIS PARTICULAR movie, the people he cast was Jason Momoa and Amber Heard. Momoa is the MAIN casting choice. Amber Heard could have easily been replaced with someone else.
@@TheMenInTightsPodcast - So what you're saying is that we would eventually have possibly gotten good movies but ended up with white hot shit to begin with instead of starting strong? Gotcha.
At the beginning he tries to pump Momoa up with these bully questions and he expects him to answer in a fun tone, but Momoa answers so seriously and caught him completely off guard
This is Throne of Atlantis and Patrick Wilson's Orm definitely had the same qualities to Sam Witwer's Orm. You seem as over zealous, paranoid, angered, frustrated due to what the surface dwellers have done to the ocean. Also the anger stretches to his mom not telling the secret about him having a half-brother. I think if Orm had known about Arthur at an early age maybe it would have been different.
THE ONE AND ONLY KEVIN FEIGE bend over Kevin so I can show you heaven. You pale and white and you finna get this pipe. You like making marvel flicks come ride this tip
Exactly. I find these modern women kinda hypocritical honestly. A couple of decades ago, when these superhero movies were just getting started, most women would scoff at these characters and stories. They were for nerds and shit. Now that they make billions of dollars and get world wide fame and praise, all of a sudden "it's time".
His biggest mistake was working with a certain actress who shall we say will remain nameless as she is currently in an ongoing investigation into purgery . Breaking laws in Australia and being an abuser who named her ex husband as a violent abuser with absolutely no proof to wreck his career . That was probably Mamoa's biggest mistake to be fair.
Judge Executioner pretty sure he had nothing to do with casting orm. Arthur and Mera were about it. What about the other 100 people in the movie. Maybe give James Wan some credit for the awesome movie he’s made that is better than any movie Zaks released.
i can't wait to see aquaman its going to e a movie tat no one will ever for get in there in tire life i love every one that playing in aquaman its got me on te edge of my seat
I very thanks for the Jason Moamoa I can see you have good heart you make movie s the same thing your heart you have big heart God bless you and everyone inyoy your movies
rogan was hardly surprised at this news.''she's doomed to disappointment there,''he said ''i've other plants.if it helps matters,i'll make them clear to her.'' amen amen amen
For anyone who read the Brightest Day miniseries from DC, that version of Aquaman, the King of Atlantis, is a true killer - an intelligent, calculating savage against his enemies; because he’s a king, and he can do that. Read the comics for yourselves.
Did anyone else notice the left sleeve on Jason's shirt mimics his tribal tattoo ? :D How cool is that. Does anyone want to speak to that? I am going to google and see if he or Lisa have a clothes line.
Here for Amber 💖 I’m so glad I’m not gullible enough to have fallen for her abusers post-separation DARVO campaign. She deserves the world after what he’s put her through.
''i've never known patricia to storm anywhere. her mother's not in favor of the relationship,i take it.'' ''anything but.''he offered a weak smile.''the truth is, she thinks patricia should hang out for u...''tnxxx for last night have fun with me...even i trying the best what's i can.lov.yah...!!!god's blessing ur yah sweetheart's.
I admire Wan for balancing the Aquaman's character! When Momoa was cast I was dissapointed cause Snyder tried TOO hard to be far away from the original character (yeah yeah, we know about the 90's version but who really grew with those stories?) and then Snyder gave him a rude look just enforcing the idea of Momoa being the perfect Lobo, the main man. But Wan was not afraid to bring the classic costume (which is AWESOME)and adapt it to the modern era (I admire Snyder for the Batman and Superman costumes too). He didn't want to throw away what Zack gave to him and made it his own. Phenomenal director.
@@AshrafAnam Dude, I love Aquaman. I've been reading his comics for 15 years, till this day. You're acting like Zack even worked on the character. All he did was a cameo in BvS (an awful easter egg) and the meeting with Batman, making him look like a wannabe Wolverine. The character is not edgy and angry most of the time, he's conflicted but still a king. Geoff Johns's incarnation is to this day my favorite version and it looks like Wan gets his idea.
@@OsSas3 15 years? Doesn't look it. You missed Peter David's Aquaman then it seems. And never watched the Justice League TV series. David reincarnated Aquaman after his classic version became a laughing stock into a darker and grittier character to be taken seriously. His cameo in BvS was awful? WTF! Your taste in superhero movies is seriously bad and unconventional. Geoff Johns only merged the classic and darker versions. Wan thus builds up on Zack's Aquaman adding stuff from the New 52. His storyline also immediately follows Zack's cut of Justice League, as confirmed by Momoa, and people who have watched the movie have said that Wan has kept Zack's Aquaman intact. Everyone knows without Zack's contributions, we wouldn't be having any of the DC movies following BvS.
@@AshrafAnam You think Peter's Aquaman is better than Johns? Get out of here! Nostalgia talking, just the design cause his stories were just fine. Yeah, I know the JL-JLU version is based off David's take on the character, that doesn't make it incredible, just the other side of the spectrum from the Super Friend's style. You think that was a cool easter egg? Out of nowhere from a flashdrive? Looking at a camera like a caveman deciding wheter attack or not... Awful. Everything Zack gets the credit is for work he didn't actually do: WW directed by Patty Jenkins and Aquaman by Jame Wan, he just give the basic, these directors worked with the characters, cause they actually GET the character. Let's stop right here, you seriously think Snyder is a good director and I don't, so it's going nowhere.
Justice League (2004) Aquaman reminds me a lot of 90's Aquaman. Momoa reminded me a lot of JL. I could argue I grew up with 90's of I grew up with the JL cartoon. Momoa is the perfect Aquaman. Shit, he'd be perfect as Lobo. Who says he can't do both? I do say Geoff Johns made him cool again though. His New 52 run was damn good.
Ugh are we all going to keep preaching women power? Like it’s literally not cute to state the obvious over and over again. It’s getting old ladies like chill
Amber is drop dead gorgeous, if not unnecessarily attractive, and while she may have been a mediocre actress in the past, she has been stepping up her game and giving good performances as of late and I'm looking forward to her role in Aquaman (hell, my favorite shot in all the trailers is her doing some awesome shit). That all being said, I find her motivation for taking this role extremely superficial and frankly, annoying. Her view of how women in comics are portrayed is hilariously inaccurate, not to mention hypocritical. Why is it that whenever female characters are drawn as beautiful women, that is "objectification" and "needless sexualization", but whenever the male characters are drawn as Greek freaking Gods with perfect physiques, then that's completely fine? Just goes to show how ideological this is to her, and Hollywood in general. Also, most women in comics are not portrayed as "damsels in distress", and even if SOME are (and there really aren't any), why is that such a problem? What's wrong with a man saving a woman? Is that somehow "sexist"? Is that "anti-women"? What are men supposed to do? *_Not_* save physically less capable women? But then said men would be blamed for sexism all the same. We can never win. Furthermore, it's damn near depressing to see how entitled and frankly, bitchy behavior is admired, even praised among modern women. The way Mera acted in that comic she referred to was cringy to say the least. It's not something men could get away with without being called "jerks", "rude", etc. In fact, there is a scene in the movie where Arthur is being condescendingly referred to as "waterboy" (or fishboy, I don't remember), to which he jokingly responds "It's waterman". It's the perfect response: he both mocks the other guys and doesn't sound like a self-righteous, entitled dick while doing so. There is no reason for Mera to react to innocent bystanders the way she did. She could have reacted with humor or kindly, but didn't. And that bitchy behavior is now looked up to... Hhhhh.... For years women didn't want anything to do with comics "because it's for nerds". Fine, they can think that. But now that they are making billions, suddenly it's "time for female representation" in the very comics and films you have looked down upon for DECADES. The very media said women know fuck all about, yet judge with their horseshit feminist rhetoric without shame or self-awareness. The right answer to "why take on this role", is because Mera is a GOOD characters, regardless of being female and physically capable (why do female characters ALWAYS have to be physically strong for Hollywood to consider them worthy???). Not because she reacted in a typically feminist way and "put men in their place" or some shit like that. That's just political... and pathetic.
LOL Thank you for noticing how confusing her answers were. The interviewer asked her what characters she dressed up as when she was a kid, and she gives a whole thesis on needing to see more strong influential women given major roles in movies. Yeah, the interviewer mentioned that as a lead-in to his question, Amber. You still didn't give him a straight answer. *face palm*
Sorry to break it to u, Amber Heard. But Gal Gadot's character ends up cutting off the head of your character. Causing the war on Atlantians & The Amazons @7:27
@@agelianaioannidou2913 Of all the research that she "claims" she knows about Mera...smh. She didn't know her character got decapitated by Wonder Woman on the Flashpoint storyline?
@@I-speak-U-shut-it she doesn't claim to have done research just claims to have read a few comics about mera. and for all the research you've done, you can't even separate an alternate timeline from actual canon.
@@weghwtyj5376 right? "oh, I need to read a mera comic... let me read the one where she dies in an alternate timeline instead of one in actual canon where she has a big story and doesn't die" these haters never take a break
Amber didn’t really read anything. Probably had an assistant read off Wikipedia or something. I’m not impressed with her as a person, I get personal politics but don’t bring them into everything you do.
Oh yeah, maybe her assistant learned all the lines for her too. Or maybe even dressed up as Amber and did all of the work so that sneaky Heard could get all the credit
She loves reading. And YOU want somebody picked who doesn't care about changing roles for women, but the rest of us are bored with that. Women like Amber push for change. Your daughters might appreciate that.
Btw, I'm also getting pretty tired of this whole baseless "MORE WAMAN"-argument. Look, I have no problem with adding as many female characters as you want, but if the reason is political or ideological, then please... just fuck off. Why is that always the nr 1 thing they want to see? "More women". Okay, why? Why does it matter? It's a political statement. It's not actually necessary for film, nor does it in any way improve quality. And while we're at it, there is a very good reason (well, two reasons actually) as to why comics are mostly dominated by men. First of all, all the major creators are men so it's only logical they would write mostly male characters. So if you so desperately want female characters for no other reason than having more women, why don't YOU write comics? Why don't YOU produce the change you so desperately advocate for? Why is it always men who have to obey YOUR wishes? Why should they? Again, I'm NOT saying I don't want more women. I'm saying, I don't care either way so long as the character/ comic/ movie is good. But whenever this is political, then I do care... because it's insanely hypocritical. The second reason is purely biological. Women are always the first to complain that most criminals are men.... but they gladly ignore (and even deny to a certain extent) that most "heroes" (people whose job require selfless and brave behavior) are also, mostly, if not exclusively men! Soldiers, first aiders, cops, firefighters, security, bodyguards, etc etc. ALL MEN (99% so, at least). Is it any surprise then, that most heroes in comics are also men? In fact, comics portray this quite realistically. I never hear women complain that there aren't enough female criminals in film... not enough female rapists in literature... not enough female villains in comics. Why? "Because most criminals are men". TRUE. But why do they complain about "not enough female heroes" then? By their very logic, most heroes are men as well. You see, they want their cake and eat it too. It's a double standard. As always, women only want "representation" in the "cool" things, without actually having to do the hard work. Want more women? Fine. Go and write comics and make movies YOURSELF and stop blaming reality because it doesn't align with your feminist, and thus biologically incompatible worldview. The fact is, men are physically much stronger than women. They are more inclined to take risks. They are also more inclined to be selfless and sacrifice themselves for others ("Women and children first" anyone???). Just stop with judging comics and its history already, because it's abundantly clear that NONE of you actually know a damn thing about it.
I groaned when Amber brought up feminism.You got hired because you have a nice body.Thats it.Go marry someone else who is old enough to be your dad and get an iPhone thrown at you.
ironic they mention WB letting directors bring their own vision, sure they are now ... they never let Zack Snyder or David Ayer do their vision .... if you go on Vero and follow Zack Snyder, he has revealed so much about his plans for the DC Films, and it all would have made sense , but WB stepped in , brought in Captain Avengers and tried to make DC into Marvel .... Batman is a dark character by nature, hence The Dark Knight thing ..... he doesn't crack jokes like Spider-Man.
Jordan Weaver what the fuck is captain avengers ? You mean Joss whedon ? He was brought in to finish the film coz Zaks daughter was freaking dead dude. So should Zack have ignored his dead child’s death to make a better movie for you fan boy ???
@@ZaZa-kp9gt They obviously should've gotten someone who wasn't gonna make the rest of the movie in the exact opposite tone of what Zack already made. Joss's style blends with Zack's style as well as a rectangle block fitting in a triangle hole.
You got Man of Steel, a 100% Zack Snyder film and wasn't as good as you claim it could be. We got BvS Extended Version and besides most of Snyder fans claiming to be a better movie it doesn't translate to a good/solid movie. So no, stop trying to claim all the blame on executives, they fucked up but also Snyder's shitty direction. And also, Ayer's style of making everything ganster and cholo fucked up Suicide Squad, besides the horrible writting.
