Reshoots are Happening

[Hypestyle]

now that it has been delayed.. next February is a year away.. a lot of time.. hopefully the studio won't mess with it too much.. hopefully the test screenings will be very good.. I'd still like a 2-hour movie..

[FlameHead]

Hmm, I doubt they'll have many reshoots at all. Maybe some pickups but, I have a feeling that the next year will be used to perfect the CGI.

2 hour movie indeed... at least.

Heavyweights on their way
By DARREN PARKMAN

Some Hollywood heavyweights are expected to blow into town this week for a quick movie shoot.

Nicolas Cage, Peter Fonda and Sam Elliot were making the fantasy flick Ghost Rider south of the border, but Vancouver has been chosen as the location for last-minute reshoots.

The flick, based on a marvel comic book, also stars Eva Mendes. Cage plays stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze.

So, looks like Ghost Rider will have a little bit of Canada in it. Yay. It's too freakin' bad I'm not in Vancouver yet. I would have scoured the city looking for them, mainly MSJ of course. Damnity Damn. Soon FH Soon. I'll get there.

Sure is interesting to know that reshoots are happening though...

[Super_Ludacris]

Good move, might as well update it a little while the dalay is happening

[Super_Ludacris]

or maybe bad move, because we miss things out from the orginal that would make the difference between a good or bad movie. Or maybe the reshoots will help it correct mistakes to improve. Who knows? :(

[FlameHead]

Well, reshoots don't have to mean they are reshooting stuff they've already filmed. Perhaps they thought of a few new scenes to add or something...

[Super_Ludacris]

Yeah, but what I'm debating is will that hinder or help the film's quality. What if somehow we learn the original cut was better (release a director's cut/original editon on DVD?). Its just one of those things. Who knows. I'm just speculating

[FlameHead]

Well, I'm pretty sure they aren't going to film enough to make an entirely different movie. It's only a couple of days of reshoots, pick ups, whatever. Maybe it's all green screen stuff, I don't know.

I kinda don't want them to have a directors cut in mind though. I figure time should be spent on one clear focused path instead of 2 different ones. That way we'll get the best possible movie from all minds working on it.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Interesting.

[Toxin66]

ah, reshoots....gotta lov 'em.

[RedIsNotBlue]

ah, reshoots....gotta lov 'em.

All I can say is interesting. I refuse to say whether they are good or bad because it could be either. Hopefully it is good.

[Toxin66]

they certainly have the time to get afew reshoots in.....the more footage, the more to choose from.....right??

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah thats what I am hoping that they are filming just because they have the time to film more.

[Toxin66]

could be just " lets see what this scene would look like if we pushed it alittle bit more"

[Toxin66]

so i don't get flamed for another question about what we know and what people think on the matter, i will ask my question in this thread because MAYBE one or more of the reshoots could contain a scene where The Rider get crazy angry and looks like this:

http://www.thefourthrail.com/images/reviews/071601/ghostrider2.jpg

does he ever go "atomic"? maybe when a loved one dies? i know the flame will change with his emotion, maybe he could go crazy like in the picture and then the flames will die down realll low and change to a bright blue.

and if i didnt ask this in the "right" thread, please move it to the one that it would belong in...

[RedIsNotBlue]

They could be for anything impossible to know.

[Toxin66]

i know it is impossible to know, i just figured this is a hott new thread and it is about potential changes in the movie. so, i figured i would ask this question here, so only two or three people see that this topic was discussed...instead of starting a new thread and having it be nothing but flaming.

did they say how long the reshoots are going on for? the longer the reshoot, the worse the film's history might look...

[thakey]

genius!!!!! i love that idea "atomic anger" hell yeah!!!that would be cool

[FlameHead]

Toxin, please don't take the comments in the other thread so hard. Don't be scared off of starting threads.

The atomic anger is a great idea and would look incredible on screen no doubt. I doubt that the reshoots are for that but... no one knows.

[Mr. Socko]

It's got a long time till it comes out, so they better take their time and make it as good as possible.

[Mr Nick]

If all three of those actors are working there for the week, perhaps they're shooting something climactic and dramatic for the end of the film. I mean, you have Ghost Rider, Caretaker and the big bad guy Mephisto there.

Sounds like a showdown, on paper.

:confused:

[FlameHead]

I could litterally be anything. They may have all been brought back for 3 seconds of footage yet, who knows?

[FlameHead]

Awesome. I just noticed that this news was posted on the front page of the hype:
http://www.superherohype.com/news/ghostridernews.php?id=4083

[zer00]

Interesting indeed....

[screenamesuck]

ahhhh, so good to have some ghost rider news. If it is a "reshoot" then wouldn't that mean they are changing a scene. If it was an all new scene then they would just be shooting lol. I thought the "re" meant that they are changing something.

[FlameHead]

Yeah, I'm very sure you're correct on that. If it were new scenes, it would probably be referred to ask pickups but, how much the media knows is another thing to think about.

[BIGGUN]

good find FH!
good to hear they are doing some re-shoots :up:
just makes a better final product imo...maybe they decided to use a much more attractive goth girl for the TV interview:D
now if this was being almost completely re-done then i would be worried (Exorcist 4 and Cursed come to mind)...but from the sound of that article its just some quick touch ups.
if anything is cut im sure it will end up as deleted scenes in the dvd.

[Vartha]

Ya know, I can't wait for this, I don't care if they thought they needed more shots of a piticular lady's rear in the movie either, it'll be cool with or without added scenes :D

[GoldGoblin]

Does reshoots make this movie come out even later?

[zer00]

no. reshoots happen on just about every movie.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Does reshoots make this movie come out even later?

Yep reshoots usually take up to a year and a half.

[Uncanny Orb]

Reshoots are good I think, when they are editing they probably say "You know what would be cool there" and they have lots of time with the push back. It's only going to make this movie better me thinks.

[FlameHead]

Oh, indeed. If they have the time to fix anything they didn't have the time to perfect the first time, do it, I say. It's hard on the actors to get them back to shoot the same things over (mainly because it feels like you weren't up to par the first time. That's what it feels like to me most times anyway) but, it's definatly worth it.

Either way, it can't be very major stuff because they aren't in the same location, probably wont have the sets and pretty much everyone has moved on and therefor are probably looking a little different than that did last year.

[Spawn187]

Reshoots are not always a good thing they did reshoots for catwoman and look how that came ou uerhgAioewhrgia' (throws up on key board thnking about how bad catwoman was).

[str8raz0r]

Well, in the case of Catwoman, re-shooting was the equivalent of polishing a turd.

[Mr Nick]

Aye, Catwoman was horrible. It literally made me feel queasy. Everyone looked like they had frog skin, like there was some kind of puke-o-vision filter on the cameras.

I truly feel a better director could've made it 'OK' though. Pitof's odd stylistic choices and inexperience wrecked it in my eyes.

:down

[totalpackage59]

FH do we have anyone in Vancouver that can shed any more light on what they are shooting or where abouts they are shooting? ie. Lakes area, downtown scenes?

[FlameHead]

Hmm, good question. I can't really remember any GR fans hangin out here from Vancouver though.

As for information, http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com has been a pretty good place for Vancouver film/tv info... though it has nothing on Ghost Rider right now, that I could find anyway.

[totalpackage59]

No I couldnt remember anyone from Vancouver either , who knows MSJ or GSF might drop by & thanks for the link I'll check it out every couple of days.

[FlameHead]

I'm not sure how much it's updated these days. Haven't been there for a while though, they do have a message board that I think I've joined. That was when I was close to moving to Vancouver the first time.

I guess when I finally do get there, to Vancouver I mean, I could be the contact for things happening... depending how far I make into the world there, of course. I'm sure it wont be easy but, at least there's opportunity to make it, unlike here. I love my province and all, best place in the world but, unfortunatly, I probably will never progress further than I have already here.

2007. That's my move year. I have a 7-9 month plan soon to be set in motion...

[FlameHead]

Oh, forgot to mention this before; a buddy of mine (chats here as Wheels of Flame sometimes) mentioned that he seed Sam on Craig Furgusson (sp?) the other day and he was talking about the reshoots for Ghost Rider. That's some promotion for it anyway!

[FlameHead]

Me too. I wish I had seen it though, It was probably very few seconds of GR chat.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Me too. I wish I had seen it though, It was probably very few seconds of GR chat.

Ehh doubtful. They usually just introduce the stars by saying "In the upcoming movie (Ghost Rider)...(Sam Elliot.) That is pretty much all that happened when Rebecca Romijn was on Leno recently. These late night talk shows you basically learn nothing about the future of an actor but just focus cute little stories from the past and their VERY next project.

[FlameHead]

Well, I know that Sam talked briefly about the reshoots and said something to the effect that it was a pain in the ass to do reshoots. Other than that, I doubt the movie was talked about at all.

[Midnyte_Sun]

A RE-shoot means to me that they are re-shooting a scene to make it better or maybe they want to edit a scene to make it shorter. Remember the early cut of the movie was said by MSJ to be well over 2 hours.

:ghost:

Duh...lol.

[FlameHead]

LoL.

Well, technically the reshoot could contain anything. Could be new scenes, some digital work, a few pictures for inserts... anything. I'm pretty sure that it's a 're' shoot because the team has to come back for more shooting. Again, this is the media telling us that the reshoots are happening and there really is no better word to describe the shooting of additional footage than reshoot.

[FlameHead]

Some sightings to share from: http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/Entertainment/2006/04/19/1539844-sun.html

Stunning actress Eva Mendes was spotted out on the town in Vancouver over the weekend.

Mendes was seen partying with a male friend at the Cactus Club on Robson Street till the wee small hours. She was in town for some re-shooting of scenes for the action flick Ghost Rider, which also stars Nicolas Cage and Peter Fonda.

Cage's wife Alice Kim and their new child Kal-el, were also spied outside the Pan Pacific Hotel waiting for a ride to the set of Ghost Rider. Cage plays stunt motorcycle rider Johnny Blaze in the comic book adaptation.

[RedIsNotBlue]

**** I almost forgot his son was named Kal-el. The kid will either seriously love or seriously hate that name. :)

[FlameHead]

I assume he'll go by Kal at some point. Either way though, his friends are certainly going to give him a hard time.

[FlameHead]

I think it would be hard to find clips of these late show appearances. There's probably a bunch that we don't even know about and many more we won't know about... sadly.
