The trade reports that WB has internally discussed launching a groundbreaking awards-season campaign for Wonder Woman in the hopes of making it the first comic-book film ever nominated for best picture.

The latest rumors in the DCEU have spread like wildfire and even David Ayer is not immune. Just as a report surfaced that the Suicide Squad director was not involved in the recently announced Gotham City Sirens, via Slash Film, Ayer’s representatives confirm that he is still attached to the movie, with a script still being written. The director also personally took to Twitter to post a clear reaffirmation of his involvement by posting a picture of Harley Quinn, a’ la the Shining, with a comic sketch of the character crashing through a door. BUY OR SELL THR reports that Bad Hombre, the genre production banner from Good Universe and Don’t Breathe’s Fede Alvarez, has announced its first project; an untitled techno thriller written by The Guest’s Simon Barrett. Details about the movie remain under wraps, but what we do know is that Hobo With a Shotgun director Jason Eisener will helm the movie, with Alvarez producing. Barrett is known for writing the horror hits You're Next and A Horrible Way to Die and most recently worked with Adam Wingard on the sequel Blair Witch. Sony Pictures has debuted a new international trailer for Flatliners; the new movie based on Joel Schumacher’s 1990 cult hit that starred Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, and Julia Roberts.
