Actress Leslie Grace disagrees with Warner, who put Batgirl on a tablet: The version of the film she saw was “incredible” and had a lot of potential, according to her.
Six months after the film was shelved Batgirl by Warner Bros Discovery, Leslie Grace, who played the title role in this blockbuster, gave an interview to the magazine variety where she expresses her disagreement with the decision taken by the studio.
She explained that she learned the news at the same time as everyone else and was as amazed as the directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Farah. The actress had the opportunity from studio officials, but admits that she did not understand what could be wrong. “They weren’t very specific about what they thought of the film creatively and how it could have been damaging to DC. [Comics] “, she says.
The actress acknowledges that filming was strewn with pitfalls – half of the scenes were shot at night, in Scotland, where it rained heavily. However, she points out, the team in place has shown great skill in preventing these challenges from appearing on the screen.
Leslie Grace had the opportunity to view an unfinished version of the film. The editing was not finished and some scenes were still missing. “But the film that I got to see – the scenes in it – were amazing. He definitely had potential to make a good movie, in my opinion,” she said.
Warner Bros. Discovery caused a surprise by ending film production Batgirl last summer. The decision was attributed to disappointing audience reactions to the screening of an unfinished version of the film and the investment required to complete it when no theatrical release was scheduled. Batgirl was to be released directly on HBO Max, a strategy probably deemed too unprofitable when Warner Bros merged with Discovery.
