Treating It Right This Time

[chaseter]

A lot of people are going on and on complaining about rough footage from a blurry cell phone and bickering about certain characters not in full get up.

First off, none of us know the context of these shots as we don't have the final shooting script.

Secondly, we all know Fox is the evil studio of films. However, look at when shooting wrapped. Over a year before the movie is to be released and we are already getting trailers! This is just fantastic. They have an entire year to polish the CGI and reshoot anything they may need t:This is the treatment that good studios due to their flagship franchises. Fox may be finally getting the message from Marvel and their fans. IMO this film has potential to be great. So, lets all calm down and not pass judgement on this film while we still have nearly an entire year to go.

I have to agree, it is interesting that Fox is actually giving this film the time needed to get everything polished and not rushing it. It's very unlike the folks at Fox to do this, so maybe they are learning from their mistakes.

Just curious, how long were the shooting schedules for the X-Men Trilogy? I seem to remember each film was shot over a 4-6 month period.

I understand the gripes bout X3, it seemed a rough pre-production and an they didn't have a whole lot of time for post production.

Well, for the first X-Men film, it was originally supposed to come out in the winter of 2000. But, Fox decided to move it up to July of 2000, so Singer had about a year to work on the first film. With X2, Singer had a little more time compared to the first film and of course with X3, it was under a year from filming to a final product.

I think they were planning Wolverine before X-Men 3 was even released. They started with the script soon after I believe.

Looking back, Simon Kinberg was announced for X3 on 1st Oct 2004 and David Benioff for Wolverine on 4th Oct 2004. Fox were probably keeping their options open in case they had trouble signing up the rest of the X-Men cast.

Yeah, Wolverine was being developed early on. I recall moments on here when we thought they might end up doing the Wolverine film before X3. That's when all the pre-production chaos was going on.

I think Hugh Jackman has a lot to do with why Fox appears to be taking its time with this film and doing things right.

Interesting how this thread started and ended.

I'll tell you if I agree or not after the movie premieres.
After watching the finished product.

This thread should be closed before the haters turn it into another Rate the Leaked Film or Run Time Length Thread.

*Chaseter had no reason to open this up again except to bash the movie.

 

[chaseter]

It should be closed as it is irrelevant now. I ran into it looking for the cast appearances thread to post that Hugh was on Leno. However, shows you that I gave this movie a chance, which you had accused me earlier of not giving it a chance. Every thread you go into should be closed then because you post only to praise this movie. How about the "It's like a Ferrari without the paint job" thread? What was the purpose of that thread?

 

[bullets]

It started out positive .

I find this topic to be pretty hilarious.
