New Mutants New Mutants News and Discussion - Part 1

[kevork89]

I'm always skeptical. But I remember one time about a decade ago when an IMDB poster claimed to have seen early animatics of Deadpool that looked like Baraka shooting lasers out of his eyes being decapitated.

Everyone said nonsense it's IMDB, well....

Yeah I definitely can believe that there is sources and what not but my skepticism overrides my belief. I’d feel the same way if it were someone claiming how good the movie is.

 

[Frankeh]

If the screenings went well, why would they push the movie back 10 months before the release? That seems like overkill. It just seems like an arbitrary thing to do.

Exactly. A good movie isn't in need of correction for that long. If they had that much faith in Boone's vision why not just release it as it is? It's as I said: what they have isn't good, isn't gaining enough interest, or both.

 

[kevork89]

I’m all for pushing it back to try and fix the issues. At least there’s taking an initiative to rectify the mistakes as much as possible. But I do think also there extra delay due to schedule conflictS. Boone is working on his adapataion of one of Stephen Kings books. Maisie and Charlie are both part of very successful shows that are filming and Anja hasn’t stopped working so I’m sure that has also factored into the time delay.

 

[psylockolussus]

Lol how exactly am I trying to convince myself New Mutants is good? Nowhere did I state that and don’t be hypocritical because if the same user was indeed posting positively about this movie you wouldn’t believe it because your opinions are already skewed negatively. I wait until an actual movie is released before passing judgement on it unlike you.

Of course I would have believed it if it didn't sound fake or wasn't just being positive just for the sake of it.

 

[psylockolussus]

If the screenings went well, why would they push the movie back 10 months before the release? That seems like overkill. It just seems like an arbitrary thing to do.

Because it wasn't good enough.

 

[TheVileOne]

Because it wasn't good enough.

Then I can't believe the screenings went that well.

Scheduling conflicts. They are not going to fly Maise across the ocean to do a few hours of reshoots a weekend.

 

[psylockolussus]

So a film is delayed ten months because 1 actress couldn't fly for reshoots because the actress would be busy filming a TV show in the summer and it's not even summer yet??? What in the fresh hell? I don't buy that excuse. There's no reason why they couldn't do the reshoot this month or neXt month.

 

[Havok83]

That makes them sound cheap as hell

 

[psylockolussus]

Its also not smart, the trailer is released months ago and they couldn't bother to fly someone for reshoots. Instead just delay the movie for ten months?

 

[Drexelhand]

No, it makes them sound sensible.

"She's filming Game of Thrones, oh she has a saturday off, fly her in and then fly her back out in time for the sunday shoot of Thrones!"

Of course, that being said, this probably has less to do with Game of Thrones and more to do with the fact that Game of Thrones is shooting based of the seasonal weather going on the episodes in the season. So they're literally shooting all year. Working in Maisie's schedule with the other actors' schedules is probably what caused this delay to jump up 10 months instead of say 5 or 6 like they might've hoped.

 

[TheVileOne]

Scheduling conflicts. They are not going to fly Maise across the ocean to do a few hours of reshoots a weekend.

And yet not a single outlet or trade has reported this. This is all just speculation from message boards. Have you checked Williams' filming schedule and what days she has off?

 

[Tim_Riggins]

Come on guys, it's just common sense, Maisie is shooting GOT, we don't have to know her schedule to know she's going to be very busy, and since she's probably (don't have a genius to figure that one) in a lot of scenes with the other kids, then yes, it's going to be a major factor.

It's not as simple as "oh they delayed it 10 months, they must be revamping the film completely", those release dates are like real estate, set up years in advance, it's not as simple as saying "okay, movie's done now, let's pick a release date", you already have Deadpool 2 too, the summer is packed, October has Venom, November has Dark Phoenix, that + multiple other films. So yeah, the Feb 2019 spot now that it's vacant, makes the most sense, and yeah it looks like a huge delay and it is but that's the nature of the business.

"Because it wasn't good enough", well, Sneider said it went well, just not great, ManaByte said on Resetera once again that one person told him it went well, the other that it was pretty awesome, that + one redditor who said he really liked it (if he did see it).

I lend more credibility to Jeff Sneider because he's top level in terms of source. It makes sense yes, that Fox would want the film to the best it can possibly be to make the most money, just smart business, I know some are having flashbacks of Fantastic4 or whatever but this imo a different situation and I have faith in this. And I also remember the rumors insisting that Wonder Woman was a mess, and bla bla, plenty of films get those kinds of rumors attached to them. Sometimes it's true, somewhat true, or other times, it's just ********

As long as they don't change Boone's vision too much but that it makes it perhaps better, then that's cool.

 

[chamber-music]

Kat Dennings filmed her sitcom 2 Broke Girls in LA and then flew to London to do her scenes for Thor The Dark World. Everyone said she was crazy.

Thanksgiving Week we filmed the TV show on Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning I flew to London and worked for two weeks, including weekends. I flew home on the Tuesday night and went back to work on Wednesday morning. That’s an extreme though. I will probably never ever do that again. It’svery hard to juggle two characters, two schedules and jetlag. The London-LA jetlag is really rough.

I don't see Maise doing that kind of thing.

 

[Orba]

Just wondering about something, these days most film productions are normally scheduled to include reshoots and pickups, so when was it with this film? Sorry if this is common information but I haven't really been following the production and couldn't see anything mentioned here when I searched. Filming ended in September and usually then they cut together a draft to get an idea of what needs to be done in reshoots. Has the normally scheduled reshoots already happened as with those the cast members will already be contracted and scheduled so that they are available to the production if needed. I'm just asking since people are talking about the massive delay being a scheduling issue.

 

[Mike Murdock]

And yet not a single outlet or trade has reported this. This is all just speculation from message boards. Have you checked Williams' filming schedule and what days she has off?

Nor have trades reported that reshoots have started. The extent of the overhaul depends significantly on the length of the reshoots.

 

[DACrowe]

If the screenings went well, why would they push the movie back 10 months before the release? That seems like overkill. It just seems like an arbitrary thing to do.

Yes, this is what has me worried. I mean why delay it period? I can believe part of the delay is waiting on Maisie, and part of it is also they want a superhero movie in the low-competition month of February (they're releasing it in the same weekend frame as Get Out, for the record). That's all well and good... but if it was good they would never need to delay it at all.

With that said, the more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to believe an actual reporter with industry contacts like Sneider that the reshoots will aim to make it more in keeping with It, Split, and Get Out (again same weekend as Get Out). As opposed to my initial belief of someone claiming to be an insider on an internet forum... who then spills the beans on everything that would put his job in immediate danger. All while not saying what the actual film that was screened is like.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, it sounds like the reshoots are more extensive then what they had scheduled. Thus, a large part in the delay.

I want to know what because it wasn't good enough really means.

You know what wasn't good enough? Alien Covenant. But they released it anyway. It bombed. So if that movie tested well, it shows how faulty test screenings also are and they shouldn't necessarily be trusted.

See that's the issue with this film. It only finished filming like you said in September and was set for release in April, they left little to no time for any re-shoots or pick ups and it doesn't seem that they have done any of that. But now obviously they need to and have no time to do so before the release so it makes sense the push back and again even the time gap due to shooting schedules. For example Anya just started working on a new project today. So who knows at this point.

 

[SumT]

reshoots can easily be done in 2 weeks, if its just a few things here and there.
but the key here is we have no idea about the quantity of what Fox wants to reshoot or add. For all we know, Fox could ask Boone to add 10 new scenes, so of course that would take a lot of time to write, prepare, shoot and ultimately, edit. So if thats the case, 10 months sound more logical.

Yep that seems quite right.
