Guardians' director James Gunn lowkey jabs DC/WB

'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn is as worried as you are about the influx and boom of the movie universes and franchises.



He took a lowkey jab at DC/WB when he voiced his doubts on Facebook about “studios trying to grow franchises from non-existent films or middling successes.”



“Listen, I love big (a–) shared universes in movies, as well as huge franchises, but I’m a little worried about the numerous shared universes being planned by the studios, without having a strong base film to grow from — or in some cases, NO base film to grow from.” he wrote in a Facebook post.



“But these days studios are trying to grow trees without a strong seed. Execs and producers and sometimes even directors are focused on the big picture, without perfecting the task directly in front of them — making a great movie. [...] In short, I think this new business model is flawed. I think filmmakers and studios should be prepared for the big picture, but never, ever let it get in the way of making a single great film. Be a little more experimental and see what works as opposed to trying to force success.”
