Will 2,215 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Well, we now have confirmation from a reliable source about the re-shoots: http://deadline.com/2016/05/star-wars-rogue-one-re-shoots-no-test-screening-release-date-1201765101/ Quote Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, directed by Gareth Edwards, will definitely be undergoing re-shoots just as Star Wars: The Force Awakens did before it was released as well as Paramount’s next installment of Star Trek. Quote to clarify, there were no test screenings and rather a re-shoot decision was made after Disney suits and producers watched the initial cut of the highly anticipated film. Quote According to sources, the first cut was lacking the edge that Force Awakens had and the story needs to jell. The film’s release date (December 16) will not be impacted, according to one insider (and with Comic-Con fast approaching hopefully the studio may be able to tease their fans with at least a little something).

crumbs 14,306 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Gotta wonder if this is merchandise related. The tone they were meant to be going for was very dark; maybe they're having cold feet now they've seen the film assembled? It didn't strike me as anything close to the more light-hearted "family friendly" adventures that comprise the Episode films. Especially when you have to assume the ending of this film is dark and depressing, based on how IV begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,651 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Reshoots happen on every big movie these days, and yes, they are designed to make a movie better. The filmmakers probably had their own notes on what they needed to change/add, and then their bosses probably gave them some more notes. The reports of "panic mode" are to give websites clicks, so I'd encourage you not to bother clicking at this point. The Force Awakens had big reshoots - here is something from Oscar Isaac on the reshoots, from just a few weeks ago. Quote Isaac is in the movie's opening scenes, and his loose, jazzy dialogue was the first, highly welcome clue that these new films would be more human in tone than George Lucas' prequels. All of the funny lines – including one about Poe being unable to hear Adam Driver's Kylo Ren through his helmet, and the "who talks first" exchange – were added in reshoots, and Isaac improvised some of them. He's always pushing to complicate and deepen Poe, who started as little more than a charming archetype. "We're making shit up as we go," he says. TFA also had a major course correction after Ford's on-set injury. Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 It's perfectly understandable that after a shoot you compile a rough cut and see what works and what doesnt. It's very often part of the creative process of film making. Things that seem fine in the script don't come across right when filmed. Or certain performances gave a different dimension to a character then anticipated etc etc.. There's no indication this film is in trouble unlike...let's say...Fantastic Four from last year.

Datameister 2,041 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Yeah, not worried. Reshoots happen. The film will end up being a good time, though it won't do as well in the box office as TFA, and the reaction from fans and critics will be a little less passionate.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Star Wars possibly. It's actually quite an underwhelming box-office year. Very little to actually look forward too.

UPDATE: SPOILER STATING THAT A CERTAIN CHARACTER WILL LIKELY APPEAR IN THE FILM INSIDE HIDDEN TEXT Spoiler In case you were wondering, Kroll is a Variety reporter, and Variety is a pretty trustworthy place for film news. Seems like maybe the film was super dark and the powers-that-be thought some classic Han Solo comedy might be needed. EDIT: Changed possible spoilers into hidden text. Not huge spoilers, but after posting I realized I'd better be cautious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
