David Ayer Has Given Up On The Ayer Cut Of SUICIDE SQUAD

Though he had only recently confirmed that he had talks with DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn about sharing his original vision for the supervillain team-up movie with the world, David Ayer had been holding out hope that Warner Bros. would eventually release his director's cut of 2016's Suicide Squad. However, it appears that Ayer has officially given up, as the filmmaker made it clear when asked for an update on Twitter that the studio has "no interest" in releasing his cut of the film.

Nothing about the situation feels good. Studio has no interest in releasing it. It’s time to run and not look back. https://t.co/sCRalxkAxm

No one is autonomous in Hollywood. A large film will be presented to a green light committee and the CEO and the corporate board. There are many presentations and sign offs.
