Warner Bros. Pictures is out for some justice of its own.
The studio has responded to claims made by “Justice League” actor Ray Fisher on Friday, specifically about the behavior of the top executive of his DC Films unit and the effectiveness of an internal investigation into the 2017 superhero film in which Fisher starred.
The Warnermedia-owned store is explicitly denying Fisher’s claim that DC Films chief Verter Hamada tried to get filmmakers to play with each other to create problems for the actor with the introduction of his character Cyberbug – who fights with Batman, Wonder Woman and others. Moreso, the studio says Fisher did not co-operate in the investigation he initiated as he wished.
The response came from Fisher’s tweet on Friday, which included ongoing allegations against “Justice League” pinch-hitter director Jose Whedon and the film’s producers, Off of Johnson and John Berg. Earlier this summer, Fisher accused Wadden of emotional behavior on set. On Friday, he accused Hamda of raising his concerns alone with Veden and Berg.
“After talking about the Justice League, I got a call from the president of DC Films, in which he tried to throw Jose John and John Berg under the bus that I would trust Jones off,” Fisher said. “I won’t.”
Read the full response from Werner Bros. spokes:
In July, Ray Fisher’s representatives asked DC Films President Verter Hamada to talk to Mr. Fisher about his concerns during the creation of the “Justice League”. The two had previously spoken when Mr Hamada asked them to re-publish their role as cyborgs in Warner Bros. ‘Flash movie coming together with other members of the Justice League. In his July conversation, Mr. Fisher spoke of his differences with the film’s creative team over his portrayal of Cyborg, and complained that his proposed script revision had not been adopted. Mr. Hamada explained that constructive differences are a normal part of the production process, and ultimately the writer / director of the film will have to handle these matters. Significantly, Mr. Hamada also told Mr. Fisher that he would raise his concerns in WernerMedia so he could investigate. Mr. Hamada never threw anyone under the bus after Mr. Hamada did not handle any involvement, as Mr. Fisher has falsely claimed, or submitted any judgments about “Justice League” production. . Hamada was elevated to its present condition.
While Mr. Fisher never accused him of misconduct, Warnermedia began investigating concerns about the portrayal of his character. Not yet satisfied, Mr. Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia appoint an independent third party investigator. The investigator has tried several times to discuss his concerns with Mr. Fisher, but to date Mr. Fisher has refused to speak with the investigator. Warner Bros. is responsible for each of its productions and for the well-being of every cast and crew member. He is committed to investigating any specific and credible allegation of misconduct, which Mr. Fisher has thus failed to provide.
