How does THIS get a coffee table book, but not STM????

The movie is fun, but I came across this:
www.amazon.com/Flash-Gordon-Official-Story-Film/dp/1789095069/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_bmx_0_1/131-3420316-3239108?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1789095069&pd_rd_r=e4512c44-9481-40bd-8082-30851c944c45&pd_rd_w=n0CKz&pd_rd_wg=EDCb4&pf_rd_p=3a0bd4d8-5087-48a5-8847-1b9d58eaefc3&pf_rd_r=C9EPEN321JZWYTBBQWWA&psc=1&refRID=C9EPEN321JZWYTBBQWWA

How come Flash Gordon- which was a box office disappointment- gets a hardback coffee table book, but the STM book can't get the greenlight STILL?
Gah!!!

Good question! Warner Bros. is not granting any licenses for coffee table books at this time. Why? I do not know, nor does my publisher...a publisher that has released numerous beautiful WB books for many years.

Thanks for sharing this...

Everytime I've gone to a Barnes and Noble bookstore (hopefully they'll exist when things hopefully go back to normal)- whenever I pass by the 'books on movies' shelf, I groan as I see just about everything BUT a coffee table book on the Superman movies.

While I love that Sam Raimi, Chris Nolan, Bryan Singer, Patti Jenkins, and other prominent directors mention STM as their 'go to' ultimate superhero film.... why can't any of them use any of their clout to push WB into giving the greenlight?

So strange.... how could a film so beloved by even Hollywood -kind of- be so ignored otherwise by WB?
Does WB not like money???

Gah!!!
