PODCAST – Suicide Squad – Script Soup

This week we’ll be looking at Suicide Squad. What’s interesting about Suicide Squad is that this is a very bad script by a very good writer (David Ayer also wrote Training Day). So instead of looking at the script like most critics have done and simply bashing it, I want to look at it as I would if I was working with a student.

It's really interesting to see that even some of the greatest writers go through exactly the same problems, and can bump up against exactly the same causes of problems that many new and emerging and student writers deal with.

The biggest problem with Suicide Squad is not Jared Leto's method acting antics. It's not the egos of all the many stars that were involved. It’s not even the many places where the logic of the script just doesn't make sense.

The real problem with Suicide Squad is the problem of too many good ideas.
