古恩和萨弗兰将继续创作DC故事——但拉奇姆将执掌影业

译自英文原文。
詹姆斯·古恩和彼得·萨弗兰加入戴维·埃里森的业务领导团队仅一个月后，DC影业就宣布了他们的继任者。受托打造一个能与漫威抗衡、内部连贯统一的宇宙的两位高管仍将继续创作DC故事，但决定更广阔银幕宇宙走向的职责将移交给他人。15
拉奇姆将负责电影、电视和动画业务，并拥有决定创意项目储备、制作、人才和战略的权力。他将向Skydance电影集团联席董事长达娜·戈德堡和乔什·格林斯坦汇报。他的任命意味着在新东家的汇报架构下，由一位新任创意高管取代共同领导模式。15
收购后出现反转
这一时间安排意味着这不仅仅是例行的继任。根据《综艺》报道，派拉蒙以$111 billion收购华纳兄弟探索公司并于10月完成交易时，古恩和萨弗兰被列入埃里森的领导团队。他们的加入原本意味着新东家将延续现有方向；11月的公告推翻了这一预期。事情发生的先后顺序很明确，但反转的原因并不清楚。15
古恩对这份工作带来的感受作出了更具体的说明。Gizmodo转载了他的一份个人声明，其中他描述了艰难的四年：公司事务占据了他在电影项目之间曾有的短暂休息时间。1
我不喜欢这份工作有时呈现出的企业化性质（感谢彼得承担了其中最沉重的部分）。
他还说，那些时间原本是留给自己和所爱之人的。他的不满说明管理DC给他带来了个人代价，但并不能证明离职的时间或条件由他掌控。1
公司的声明意在安抚外界，而非解释原因。埃里森和联席首席执行官尹恩·克雷茨称赞古恩和萨弗兰开启了一个新时代，并表示期待平稳、协作式的交接。戈德堡和格林斯坦强调拉奇姆的制作履历，并承诺将粉丝置于影业工作的核心。这些是对未来工作的表态，并未回答管理层为何发生变动。15
宇宙延续，管理者更替
2022年，戴维·扎斯拉夫任命古恩和萨弗兰，旨在为DC打造一个连贯统一、足以与漫威竞争的银幕宇宙。他们的做法让超人重回系列核心，同时通过和平使者、生物突击队、绿灯侠和泥面人拓展其作品范围。和平使者和绿灯侠也扩大了DC在HBO Max上的电视内容布局。他们的目标不只是打造单部热门作品，而是让角色和作品共同构成更宏大的整体。15
拉奇姆将接手这一体系。他于2004年加入漫威影业，后来升任制作与开发高级副总裁，并在漫威建立其互联宇宙期间与凯文·费奇共事。他曾担任《钢铁侠》的副制片人、《钢铁侠2》的联合制片人，以及《复仇者联盟》《银河护卫队》《复仇者联盟2：奥创纪元》和《蜘蛛侠：英雄归来》的执行制片人。15
他的经验也不局限于超级英雄故事的连续性。2017年离开漫威后，他创立了Latcham Pictures，该公司制作了《坏时光于艾尔皇家酒店》和《龙与地下城：侠盗荣耀》，并与20世纪福克斯、孩之宝和Wonder Project达成优先合作安排。近来，他通过孩之宝娱乐参与开发《龙与地下城》续集和《行动人》电影，并与导演德斯汀·丹尼尔·克雷顿共同制作狮门影业的《火影忍者》改编作品。15
拉奇姆称，管理DC角色是“重大的责任，我绝不敢掉以轻心”。他的履历让这项任命不难理解：他既在互联系列内部工作过，也曾在系列之外管理单部作品。但履历并未告诉观众，他治下的DC会是什么样子。15
票房表现参差不齐，原因尚无定论
《综艺》报道称，《超级少女》的制作预算为$170 million，高于其报道的全球票房。但票房收入并不等于影业收入，制作预算也不包括其他成本。这些数字体现了商业压力，但单凭这些数据无法确定一部电影最终盈利还是亏损。15

播出原貌
- Jeremy Latcham will take over DC Studios as James Gunn and Peter Safran leave management.
- The change puts DC's film, television and animation slate under one new creative leader after four years of shared leadership. Gunn and Safran will keep making DC projects.
- How much of the screen universe they built will carry forward under their successor?
- Gunn and Safran are scheduled to leave their co-CEO and co-chairman jobs on December first. Skydance announced the handover on November ninth. Latcham's new title will be president and chief creative officer.
- Latcham will control the creative pipeline, production, talent and strategy across DC's screen business. That puts decisions about interconnected characters and individual productions in the same new executive's hands.
- Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein will be Latcham's bosses. Both co-chair Skydance Motion Picture Group. They've emphasized his production record and promised to put DC's fans at the center of the studio's work.
- Gunn and Safran had just joined David Ellison's business leadership team in October. That was when Paramount's 111-billion-dollar acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery closed. Their replacement the following month reverses expectations that they'd stay in charge.
- David Zaslav appointed them in 2022 to build a coherent DC screen universe that could compete with Marvel. They restored Superman to its center and expanded the franchise across film, television and animation.
- Peacemaker and Lanterns extended DC's television presence on HBO Max. Creature Commandos and Clayface opened other parts of the slate. Those projects formed part of Gunn and Safran's effort to unite DC under one creative vision.
- Gunn said the corporate side of running DC had worn him down. He thanked Safran for taking the brunt of it. He also said he'd sacrificed breaks and time with loved ones over those four years.
- Whether they chose to leave or were pushed out is still unclear. Gunn's frustration explains how he felt about the job. It doesn't tell us who decided the timing or terms of his departure.
- Gunn is still writing and directing Man of Tomorrow, and Safran remains involved. Their joint statement says they're excited to return to storytelling, including the next chapter of Clark and Lex's journey. Gunn also says he's writing another, unnamed DC project.
- Man of Tomorrow has conflicting release years, 2027 and 2028. Summer 2027 is the more consistently stated plan. The discrepancy hasn't been resolved, and it doesn't amount to an announced delay.
- Gunn and Safran also retain producing commitments on The Batman: Part II. That film stars Robert Pattinson and is described as a 2028 release.
- The People v. Gorilla Grodd is planned for 2027. Skyler Gisondo returns as Jimmy Olsen, with Jimmy Tatro playing Gorilla Grodd. These named commitments carry work forward while the executives responsible for the wider slate change.
- Latcham joined Marvel Studios in 2004. He rose to senior vice president of production and development, working with Kevin Feige as Marvel established its connected screen universe. He now inherits the rival franchise DC wanted to build.
- His credits include associate producer on Iron Man and co-producer on Iron Man 2. He executive-produced The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
- Latcham left Marvel in 2017 to establish Latcham Pictures. It produced Bad Times at the El Royale and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and held first-look arrangements with 20th Century Fox, Hasbro and Wonder Project.
- More recently, his Hasbro Entertainment deal included development of a Dungeons & Dragons sequel and an Action Man film. He's also been producing Lionsgate's Naruto adaptation with director Destin Daniel Cretton.
- Latcham calls stewardship of DC's characters a responsibility he takes seriously. He says he wants to work with filmmakers, comic-book creators and artists across film, television and animation. Gunn and Safran welcomed his perspective and their shared creative history.
- David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz praised Gunn and Safran for launching a new era at DC. They said they expected a smooth, collaborative transition. The studio's recent films, meanwhile, delivered very different commercial results.
- Superman brought in about 618 million dollars worldwide. Supergirl reached about 126 million, and Clayface about 109 million. Those are approximate ticket-sale totals. They show how uneven the slate's commercial performance has been.
- Supergirl's production budget was put at 170 million dollars, higher than its worldwide gross. But ticket sales aren't studio revenue, and production budgets leave out other costs. These figures alone can't tell us a film's profit or loss.
- Clayface's production budget is disputed, with figures of 44 million and 40 million dollars. The difference makes a precise financial verdict even less useful. Skydance hasn't clearly tied the leadership decision to those commercial results.
- The box-office figures also need to stay approximate. An undated database listing puts Superman just under 619 million dollars. It can't fix the exact total for announcement day.
- December first moves responsibility for DC's wider creative direction to Latcham. Gunn and Safran's continuing film commitments give part of their work a path forward. Latcham hasn't announced a comprehensive plan for what he'll preserve, change or approve next.
- That leaves wider continuity decisions and development projects such as Swamp Thing awaiting direction. Gunn and Safran remain attached to Man of Tomorrow and The Batman: Part II as they move back toward filmmaking.
