Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (12/16/16)
RO has not met the "High Bar set by The Force Awakens".
should tell you so much, the bar is set so low, yet this guy might not have been able to even reach it lol.
They have "formulas" and "rules". Must have been too dark and not happy enough to fit their mold. They meddle so much in these- yes JJ probably is guiding Rian on Ep VIII.
I have great hopes for RO- however my fear is they tone down Vader and put more family friendly feel good stuff in there.
I care IF it's true that Disney is stepping in to make the film less gritty and "safer". When it comes to the filmmaker vs studio on vision over a film, I will side with the filmmaker 99.9% of the time, because they are the artist.
And again, Kennedy and Edwards deserve the benefit of the doubt here.
Really hoping these rumors are blown a tad out of proportion. Pick up shoots aren't the problem... Unless the reason behind them is the studio forcing a huge overhaul and re-shaping of the film.
Why is everyone assuming the reshoots are being done because it was dark? what if they are being done because the movie doesnt have enough action or is boring?
Godzilla and Monsters were not that dark but they Sure were boring and long and had too much talking. If This movie was being made the way Godzilla was, we would have 2 hours of meetings and people talking to each other and maybe 15 minutes of action, so are we really sure to assume the reshoots have to do with dark and gritty? What if it is anticlimactic
Im just saying, Monsters was not dark at all, it was even more boring than Godzilla, 2 hours of a couple walking around. a couple of minutes of monsters in it.
But Edwards doesn't have much of a track record, does he? Monsters and Godzilla? Neither critical darlings. Do we even know that Kennedy isn't part of the chorus asking for these reshoots?
im not even sure why Disney picked him.
Again IF the gist of these reports is true, then I would have to assume she isn't as she was on set almost the entire time and would have known what's up with the film all the way through. The rumors are that Disney suits saw a cut of the film and got scared. Probably because it's too dark and gritty for them to sell a bunch of vinylmation toys in their god damned theme parks.
well, Disney has some scary rides, Dinosaur is a little intense for a Disney ride. Everest is fast and scary, I mean, Tower of Terror...... dont know if i even need to explain that one. (they even have ALIEN animatronics in the movie ride...)
You dont really think everything is just baby rides with Mickey in it do you?
I have a feeling the movie was just anticlimactic or dull or boring.
