The Run Time Length Thread

[chaseter]

Dude, the MTV Promos were shot during Principal Photography in the spring of 2008.

The only people these reshoots focus on are Reynolds, Schreiber and Jackman.

Jackman himself talked about how Reynolds only had 3 days of shooting during principal photography (the leaked workprint) and 6 days of shooting during the reshoots - NOT featured in the leak.

They definitely changed something and there's a MASSIVE chance it involves the fate of Deadpool.

*Not trying to persuade you to be an optimist, Chaseter - just trying to get you to be a realist

Reynolds only did have 3 days or so to shoot and that was used for his movie time that included him as Barakapool because they had the makeup team there for him. That is why I think he just now did his MTV character shoot and so did Liev and Jackman. I didn't say that took up all the 6 days because it wouldn't take 6 days to do that promo material.

As for Deadpool, it won't change the film for me. Just because he may shoot an after credits scene doesn't make the rest of the movie better to me or will fix some of the glaring problems I had. Deadpool will probably get his own film so anything involving Barakapool I could care less about. Reynolds was great as Wade and he will be great as Deadpool. Barakapool sucked.

I just don't think 6 days will fix many of the script problems and development issues because that has to do with length and allowing things to breathe and not adding any time to this will still make this movie go BOOM BOOM BOOM The End.

Yea and Reynolds himself stated that what he shot in January was not extra scenes. They were all originally part of the principle shoot, but because he was already committed to 2 other films he had to film the majority of his parts in January.

Which would include the character bio which was part of my point

Once again, he shot the MTV Promo in the spring of 2008 during his 3 days in Australia.

This January he shot 6 days worth of footage in Canada.

*Chase, I'm pretty sure 6 days of footage will amount to more than just an after the credits scene.

I'm thinking they chopped 10 minutes out of the workprint that simply didn't work (studios do this all the time) and inserted the stuff Reynolds shot in January.

We'll know for sure in 2 weeks, but dude - you're gonna have to go see this if you wanna maintain your opposition against the film.

People might come out really happy on May 1st and you'll be in the dark as to why

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I am confident there will be a after credit scene featuring DP or the remains or Weapon XI whatever.

But unfortunately I don't think there will be any actual new footage of Wade in the film. If there is it definitely shouldn't be any more action, he already has probably the best action scene in the film, if there is to be extra footage of Wade it needs to explain why and how he got experimented on.

 

[chaseter]

What 10 minutes is going to be chopped? I just don't see it happening. I think a couple of minutes will be added and since it was with those 3 then it involves the final act. They probably lengthened the final battle and gave Reynolds an after credits scene. If it were more Team X stuff then they would have had to have everyone else there so I don't see anything from the first 2 acts changing.

As I said, I will probably still go see this but I won't opening night or when the tickets are expensive. I will either go to matinee or if the reviews are bad then I will pay for another movie and see this so that I can come in here and debate

This is exactly what I was thinking.

*Though I believe it will amount to more than a 30 second after the credits scene.

As I said, I will probably still go see this but I won't opening night or when the tickets are expensive.

That's the spirit

Yea, I've said before I will be happy(ish) if there is a after credit scene or beginning of credit scene similar to the one in Hulk vs. That would tee a DP film up perfectly.

That's exactly what I'm going to do. I won't see it at the midnight showing but I'll definitely catch it opening weekend.
I really want to hear audience reaction after it's over to see what a lot of the GA thought of it.

the best crowd to watch it with is the midnight premiere.

Its gonna be nuts!!!

No, because the midnight premier is the showing that just about only hardcore fans will go to.I've gone to the midnight premier for The Dark Knight and Watchmen and it was great. You know there won't be morons making noise and using cell phones because the audience is pretty much all made up of bigtime fans.For Wolverine, everything I've heard tells me it won't be up to the quality of The Dark Knight or Watchmen. So right there I know I won't demand a 100% quiet theatre when watching since it won't have as much depth. Second thing, I want to hear the general audience's opinions of the film. Like I said before, the midnight showing is usually made up of fanboys.

i dont think so.

 

[dark_b]

belive me that there wont be a deadpool scene after the ccredits. there are already enough scenes.

plus i dont think that they would delete 10 minutes and replace it with completely different footage. if you would watch the workprint you would understand. it would completely destroy the flow

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Why should we believe you?

Na but honestly, no one can be sure. One of the after credit scenes was completely pointless and was a MASSIVE plot hole. So hopefully they have realized that and got rid of it. A Deadpool after credit scene would make much more sense in terms of future investments for these money hungry studios and the story.

 

[TNC9852002]

So they lied again, just like they did repeatedly with X3, and you still wonder why people dont like them Nell?

Has anyone posted the original article where they originally talk about the reshoots?

 

[StarkTheProdigy]

this has probly been posted, and many may not believe this, but my friend works at a movie theatre, and he got the times for the midnight showings, and said it was 2 hours long...

but what about the ending?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

but what about the ending?

What ending? You think that would stop Deadpool? I don't wanna post spoilers but the guy has survived from much worse than that before. Hell, his actual "birth" if you wanna call it that involved him getting killed as the experimented on Wade Wilson then being "reborn" as Deadpool.

Check this out if you haven't seen it yet.

[dark_b]

he can survie this?

really?

woow.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yep, his healing factor in the comics is actually more powerful than Wolverines. He's had his head exploded before and still survived. But yea obviously that is the comics, but what I mean is that it isn't out of character for him to survive something like that.

 

[Peter McCabe]

From WIZARD magazine:

WIZARD: There were stories online about reshoots and you even sent a post to AICN to counter these reports. Can you comment on what actually happened there?

JACKMAN: The whole thing got a little out of hand. I normally don't get involved too much, because at the end of the day, the proof's in the pudding. People like the movie or not. But it was kind of getting a little out of hand. We had finished shooting because there was a thing called Cinema Expo in Europe and I had to go and present Australia there, and I also did a little bit for Wolverine in that. It came at a time where we had about a week's shooting left. And also, Ryan Reynolds was only available for three days while we were shooting-he was on another movie. So we had a whole thing with Ryan we needed to do and we had about five, six days and we thought, "Well, it's great anyway for us to use Canada because, obviously, that's where the character originates from." So the truth be told, it was probably about three or four days of reshoots in there, and the rest was basically original photography, main unit stuff. So it was kind of exaggerated and so obviously erroneous and I just would hate people's excitement for the movie to be dampened because they think there was a big problem when there wasn't.

 

[dark_b]

if it isnt out of hes character then there is hope.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea, i hope!

McCabe posted it, what does that have to do with Fox lying?

It has nothing to do with FOX lying, nor does this discussion.

*The article talks about the reshoots and how many days Reynolds was on set during principal photography.

3 days total and that's all that is shown in the leak.

The 6 days of reshoots he shot in January are in the final film.

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.
