Warner Bros. Announces Massive DC Entertainment Slate: Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, The Flash and More
During a shareholder meeting today, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara formally announced plans for a Justice League movie, confirming one of Hollywood's worst-kept secrets. The film, directed by Zack Snyder, will be divided into two parts, as the rumored third and fourth Avengers movies are expected to be. He also surprised the industry with announcements of more than half a dozen movies including Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, Green Lantern and Cyborg. The film had previously been semi-officially announced by Warner executives during an interview about the future of DC on film, but in the time since, fans, reporters and even Warner have said that announcement wasn't quite the real thing. Tsujihara, who took over as CEO last year, has long been a champion of DC Entertainment; he was head of Warner Bros. Four a-list stars are in talks to join Suicide Squad, which will be directed by David Ayer, as announced already. 2018 will bring The Flash, starring Ezra Miller, and Aquaman.

So, I am going to be talking to you about reading. I’m going to tell you that libraries are important. And I am biased, obviously and enormously: I’m an author, often an author of fiction. So I’m biased as a writer. And I’m here giving this talk tonight, under the auspices of the Reading Agency: a charity whose mission is to give everyone an equal chance in life by helping people become confident and enthusiastic readers. And it’s that change, and that act of reading that I’m here to talk about tonight. I was once in New York, and I listened to a talk about the building of private prisons – a huge growth industry in America. It’s not one to one: you can’t say that a literate society has no criminality. And I think some of those correlations, the simplest, come from something very simple. Fiction has two uses. It’s tosh.
