Over at Reddit a user claims to have taken part of a
focus test for Fury director David Ayer's 2016 adaptation of DC's Suicide Squad,
and decided to post the potential spoilery content. Has always take it with a
grain of salt.
OK so I apologize if I don't do this right, this is my
1st time on reddit and my first time posting. The reason I'm posting is because
I spent a good hour over at Warner Brothers with a few people; and they did a
focus test group regarding the upcoming film: Suicide Squad.
They made this apparent from the focus test, but a few
of these things were set in stone, others were still a work in progress.
First thing they did was quiz us on our knowledge on
the Suicide Squad; there were a lot of questions about our knowledge on the new
52 Suicide Squad and particularly Harley Quinn. From general conversations, it
sounds like Harley Quinn may be the protagonist of the movie.
The director of the movie joined us; he asked whether
any of us had watched Speed. He said that that blend of action with a time
sensitive conflict was what inspired the plot of Suicide Squad.
The director asked what we enjoyed more in an action
movie, a serious action movie like The Raid or a more comedic approach like in
the Jump Street movies.
Near the end, we were broken into groups of three
(there were 9 of us total) and given a one page summary of the plot, we were
asked to describe what we liked and didn't like.
What we were given mentioned Harley Quinn being needed
to decipher a complex series of bombs planted throughout Gotham. Harley is
estranged from The Joker, and her knowledge is being used to figure out where
The Joker has placed the bombs. Deathstroke is a Amanda Waller's personal
bodyguard, and he's placed in the squad to oversee that they do not deviate
from the mission perimeters. The plot then becomes more complex as The Joker
has a far more complex goal in mind.
I'm paraphrasing what the other plots were, but they
all deviated slightly. Some had Harley as being a part of the squad, but
betraying them for The Joker. The other involved a conspiracy from Lex Luthor
which involves working with The Joker.
My final impressions are positive. Before we left the
director showed us concept art. Some were ok. The boomerang guy and the witch
girl were not that great. I really liked Deathstrokes design, they really gave
him this realistic but tech-geared look that is probably the best design I've
ever seen of Deathstroke.
Based on what I saw, I would love to go see this movie
when it releases.
