Fury director David Ayer is currently out promoting the Brad Pitt war movie but, expectedly, the attention has not turned to his next project… Suicide Squad.
Speaking to Empire, Ayer was keen to talk about the mvid which tells the story of a team of criminals from the DC Universe who are brought together to go on extremely risky missions by the Government. It’s a great concept and could undoubtedly be one hell of a fun movie: “‘Fury’ whetted my appetite for a bigger canvas and this idea of world creation. You can do amazing things as a filmmaker if you have the proper tools, and those are time and money. I can say that it’s a The Dirty Dozen with supervillains. Then I can ask the question, ‘Does a movie really need good guys?’
I love the passion [comic-book fans] have for these characters and these worlds. I think there’s something incredible about the comic genre and technology has finally caught up with pen and ink to render these fantastic worlds in a way that feels believable and visceral to audiences. It’s a secular religion in that regards. The mythology that these characters represent – the idea of them as fallen gods on Earth – is intriguing to me. I can’t wait to start exploring those corridors.”
So, a DC version of The Dirty Dozen, huh? Well, that sounds just swell…

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
