Popular Post Stevo985 Posted June 2, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) The Star Wars guys have just finished filming in west cork, right next to where my Mom and family are from. Bizarre to see pictures of them and hear stories about them being in the tiny villages over there. They ordered 100 of my great uncle's crab sandwiches because they were so good He couldn't fulfil the order because there's probably not even 100 people in the village, but it was a nice compliment! They even took out a newspaper ad to say thanks, which was nice. http://img2.thejournal.ie/inline/2797538/original/?width=375&version=2797538 My mom won't stop going on about it! Edit: I can't get that picture to embed Edited June 2, 2016 by Stevo985 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2016 Forgot about this thread. Anywho... Rogue One reshoots are reported to be 40% of the movie being redone. Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Wow. Isn't it out this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2016 Yeah it's out at Christmas. That's a lot of work to redo. It probably adds some credence to the talk that Disney didn't like the tone and want more McQuarrie influence in there from his late script. They also want to shove in Han Solo.

hogso Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I read it's intended to end 10 minutes before A New Hope begins? So they could do a lot of shoehorning of characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2016 There's now a report that all of this bullshit and the reshoots are just the standard expected additions for any blockbuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2016 There's now reports again that the Rogue One reshoots are enormous and they even have a different bloke overseeing them. Beginning to think the Entertainment Weekly report was damage limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 They dropped some vague hints about it on the Tested podcast last week, some stuff about how Disney didn't like the way Gareth Edwards had taken the movie and wanted a more 'Disney' feel to the movie. They were keen to point out that they were only speculating of course but considering that Gary Whitta, the guy who wrote Rogue One, was on about 200 episodes of that podcast and is friends of 10-15 years with two of the regulars on the show then you'd think they might know more than they are willing to let on. Hopefully we get a directors cut of the movie one day if the Disney interfering is as significant as is being hinted at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reshoot. Bravo, Disney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Or maybe they're actually right. We won't know until we see it. What I do know is that Godzilla was shit (killing off that character was just dumb and terrible for the plot) and Monsters consisted of two people walking about Africa for two hours before you actually got any real interaction with any aliens and even that was boring so I'm not Gareth Edward's biggest fan it's fair to say.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Godzilla's biggest crime was killing Juliette Binoche after a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Monsters was pretty good as I recall, although maybe I mainly liked the score. 5 hours ago, islingtonclaret said: Asked for a war film. Got a war film. Oh shit! War films aren't for kids. Reshoot. Bravo, Disney Exactly. Happily though, they're reshooting it to 'add some humour'. Since Jar Jar Binks is presumably out of the question, doubtless this will be some painful mugging by humanoid characters instead. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What would be great, but will obviously never ever ever happen, would be if they had the courage, in these Anthology films, to explore this entire galaxy in which literally anything could happen without relying on the characters constantly intersecting with the characters from the Episode films. There's almost endless possibilities for these films, but you just know they'll always fill them with refugees from the main pictures in order to make bank.

ThunderPower_14 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm hoping the reshoot is because they've realised that the story of how the Death Star plans were stolen should have been a heist film in the vein of The Bank Job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The re shoots will be because disneys best bit of merchandise doesn't feature in the film enough...or because the 2 Asian guys who will make them a few more billions don't feature enough... As much as I love Star Wars and would be happy for as many of them as they want to make they need to take a note from the marvel side of things and make these films tonally different in order to churn them out, might be as simple as they've made a film that's too much like Star Wars, might be the opposite, they've tried to make a war film set in the Star Wars universe but pretty removed from the trilogies and Disney have asked them to bring it more in to line Not full of confidence but also not immediately thinking that it's because it was shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2016 Rogue One trailer 2 will be revealed next Friday. Also loads of rumours an Obi Wan movie is going to be announced with McGregor returning to the role. Absolutely nobody wants to know what happened to him between RotS and a New Hope. But looks like Disney think they have a great cashc- story to tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
