Gavin Hood's Vision

[icelemt38]

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]And here’s one for good measure… had a chat with a high-ranking, unmotivated-to-******** member of the Wolverine team… and the take is that the movie is about 90% what Gavin Hood wanted as they finish up post. So… how evil does that make Fox and will the studio get a break? Or is 90% of his vision for the first-time action film director of a comic book film not enough? Or do you think you know what percentage of compromises that Zack Snyder and Chris Nolan (the first time around) and Bryan Singer really made when making their comic book films for Warners?[/FONT]

I hope it's good news . . . .

I can't wait until May 1.

90% sounds pretty good to me in that if Gavin and Fox really clashed as much as reports say they did, it seems as though Gavin won most of those.

Gavin never read any comics, so I can easily see him being ok with Deadpool shooting lasers and stuff.

I think 90% sounds good. I don't know if anyone (besides the giants) ever truly get 100%.

Now lets just hope the film is great

Lets hope the script was great. Gavin can direct the hell out of it...but if the script sucks then Lets hope the 10% was Deadpool.

90% of what Hood wanted? If true, that's great. Too bad I have almost no idea what Hood's vision is, as he has hardly said anything about the movie.

But someone else has to write the script before the director can have a vision on it.

No ****.

 

[danoyse]

No ****.

That was unnecessary.

No kidding, as far as we know, Barraka-pool was his idea, not Rothmans.

 

[Rac]

That was unnecessary.

It was too tempting.

It was too tempting.

Try to resist next time.

Although its ages old, this is all we have I think to decipher Gavin's vision. Its not specific at all but at least he's going for storytelling and actual emotion.

 

[icelemt38]

Double post, my bad.

 

[chaseter]

Yeah Rac...you are Obi Wan not Darth Sideous! Resist the dark side.

 

[Rac]

Try to resist next time.

Yeah.

Yeah Rac...you are Obi Wan not Darth Sideous! Resist the dark side.

But they got red lightsabers over there.

That's pretty good.

Although I think that 10% is probably the length. Maybe Rothman's promotion kept him from interfering more during the final post-production stages...

He definitely has his own priorities and faithfulness to the comics isn't necessarily one of them. For example, the only reason ?Gambit got his accent in the film is because the actor, Kitsch, insisted on it; Gavin wasn't going to bother otherwise.
