The Run Time Length Thread

[Peter McCabe]

So talking about Fox lying about the runtime in the run-time thread arent part of the discussion? God help us all if you ever become a mod McCabe .

Not to mention, HOW do you know the 6 days of re-shoots are in the movie? You dont.

The workprint is dated Pre-January.

The reshoots were done AFTER that workprint was put together.

*When Rothman said the final film is 10 minutes longer, he may have meant that it contains the ten minutes shot in January that are replacing 10 minutes from the workprint.

Jackman basically confirms that those 10 minutes concern Deadpool by specifying that Reynolds was brought back along with Schreiber for 6 days of shooting.

Saying the movie is 10 minutes longer when all the reshoots accomplished was replacing 10 minutes of footage is still a lie.


I thought about calling Arclight theaters about Wolverine's run time but, decided not to based on an obvious guess. Arclight recently updated their website and to nobodies surprise Wolverine's run time is now at 107 minutes. How did they screw up Star Trek and Wolverine's run times so badly? Especially star trek because the official run time had been set 5 months before Arclight revealed it.

I'm getting a feeling of deja vu again. I remember checking Arclight theater for X-Men 3's run time 3 years ago and I'm pretty sure it was around 2 hours.

Yea If I remember right, arclight was one source that gave us X3 fans hope.. but didnt turn out true..

I thought I wasn't the only one who noticed this. I go to watch movies at Arclight every year and thought they advertised X3 with a running time of 2 hours.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Rothman lied, simple. His exact quote about the workprint was "It's about 10 minutes shorter..." Well, it isn't.

So yea, I spent a lot of time defending Fox against various attacks and such, but even I have a hard time defending a blatant lie.

 

[Peter McCabe]

The lie will sting less if the final film is indeed different from what you guys saw in the leak

2 more weeks, gentlemen.

Yes. Yes it will.

However, I must say, it's not looking good. The tracklist of the soundtrack perfectly describes the workprint.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea well I'm still positive about the film.

But Rothman yet again showed why he is the most hated man in the industry. Why doesn't he just realize that by telling the truth you will get more respect? Is he a ****ing ****** or something?

There's something going on with the third act.

They brought back Jackman, Schreiber and Reynolds for 6 days.

I'm thinking whatever those 3 shot - is a different spin on the third act of the film.

PAYBACK and The Butterfly Effect went through that same treatment and the final products ended up fantastic.

I hope you're right, Pete, I really do.

I'm one of the optimistic ones. I just know that I got my hopes up for X-Men 3, letting myself believe that Cyclops would make it through, and we all know what happened. I'm remaining optimistic, but I'm also not getting my hopes up. Really, I expect to see what I saw in the work print. Nothing different, save for effects and score.

I really do hope that I'm wrong. Not because the movie sucks (I don't think it does, even in it's work print form), but because I'd hate to be blatantly lied to, AND the film could definitely use a couple things.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well when shots came out of them filming in January there was a pic of Jackman on a bridge in a denim jacket. That is already in the workprint.

I personally didn't like

Spoiler

what they did with the material from ORIGIN in the beginning of the workprint. Too short, too meaningless for an audience unfamiliar with that particular comic and because it jumps directly into the wars, you don't get a chance to see how Victor and Jimmy's brotherhood evolved.

I'm pretty sure the actors featured in that sequence shot alot more than what I saw and I wish they would just expand that a bit more.

Damn it.

 

[night0205]

Tom Rothman lies, yes he only cares about money, and he will lie if he can get away with it, and he will lie when he can't. However, I do think something is going on with the third act, I do believe a different ending will happen...maybe.

 

[chaseter]

I think an additional after credits scene could happen but I think that will be the only different thing from the work print. Nothing from the first 2 acts will change.

 

[night0205]

Well people weren't throwing up tell the third act, sounds like great news to me

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea I think that's the most we can hope for. There is one scene at the credits that just makes no sense to include. It features a character that isn't very important and it is a MASSIVE plot hole. So hopefully they replace that or add another scene that actually makes sense, namely a re-emergence of Deadpool scene

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

True, it's really the third act where most of my complaints come into play.

 

[chaseter]

I will say that I did like the first act...that is where most of my compliments are from. The second act is where it gets weak for me and the third act is the compilation of crap

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

^The 3rd act is a disaster.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

My only problem with the final act is the way Logan loses his memories, that could of been done sooooooooooooo much better.

And as a Deadpool fan I'm obviously pissed off about Weapon XI. But as a movie fan I thought he was a sicko and it was a pretty decent final fight. Apart from a certain scene with optic blasts and claws.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

And it will still suck. This movie has problems up the ass. You'd have to write a new script and reshoot the whole thing to make it a signifigantly improved film.

My sis and I said the same thing after watching it.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well that's in your opinion.

I don't think it completely sucks, I think it's a decent movie, but yea obviously it isn't brilliant. It pisses all over the likes of Elektra and the FFs, easily. People act like this is the worst movie ever or something, it just stinks of sour grapes or Fox hating.
