>“The script was really dark. I haven’t read it for a really long time, because I found it really difficult to write. It was demented because I was going through it at the time. I’d just finished ‘Promising Young Woman’, and there was this huge thing in this world I’d never operated in. It was a kind of superhero movie, and I was like, ‘How do I make the version of a superhero movie that I would connect to emotionally?’ It’s a script about a woman in the middle of a nervous breakdown because I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown. And in terms of what that means, I suppose it just meant that it was too far away from the genre. I’m remembering some scenes and I’m like, ‘Nobody would have made that.'”.https://deadline.com/2026/02/emerald-fennell-why-demented-zatanna-movie-didnt-happen-1236724930/
>>218194762So she wanted yet another metoo movie and absolutely needed a known (well, kinda known) pop-culture character to tell the story.

>How do I make the version of a superhero movie that I would connect to emotionally?Why are there women or one of their male slaves working on these characters in the first place?

Imagine a handful of your favourite movies.Then imagine how different they would be if the creators decided to push their own experience (some boring-ass mundane shit that no one else finds remotely interesting and doesn't associate with) instead of going with the original story.
>>218194762Whatever she's blabbering about I imagine it would have been shit but I wonder if it would have been salvagable. With some script adjustments.
I'm sure we'd get a scene like this
>>218194762would
DC is toast!
So it would definitely have been based on Grant Morrison's miniseries, right?
>>218194762Damn, I'm sure we would have gotten a comic accurate Zatanna
>>218195550Or maybe a comic accurate Indian boyfriend
>>218194762>How can I make this about me instead of Zatanna?Grim.>>218195085Awful artwork.
>>218194762Tuhs pu hctib
>>218194762Dark Justice League and Constantine are pretty mindfuck territory. It overlaps with Sandman so it's both psychedelic and simultaneously cthonic and lovecraftian.She should have cast a spell that banishes her anxiety but it becomes a homonculus that contacts a lazarus pit and grows into a personal demon that torments her and/or initiates a dream sexual relationship/rapelationship with her.Did I nail it?
