Matt C 452 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 3 hours ago, Jay said: Reportedly, the movie was pushed back from May to December because of script rewrites: http://io9.gizmodo.com/constantines-arrow-appearance-was-probably-his-last-eve-1753936527 I've read the article, and that line of reasoning doesn't make sense. Plenty of movies have shot a month later than scheduled and were able to make their release dates. (Now if production was delayed several months, then it'd be logical.) The online blog that Jeff Sneider works for says that the move was purely because TFA broke the mold for a December release and it made more strategic sense. Even rival trade The Hollywood Reporter corroborates this. I'm positive that Episode VIII will be completed by summer 2017, and there won't be a conflict with Williams scoring both this and Ready Player One.

crumbs 14,306 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Well TFA shot from May until November but production was held up for a month by Harrison's injury. If they start shooting in February I'd hope Williams is seeing a first cut around Q4 this year. It really comes down to whether Williams wants to do both. I'm sure he can schedule two scores across 15 months (August '16 to November '17), but even the best laid plans can go awry... just look at Bridge of Spies.

Balahkay 627 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Was Bridge of Spies more because of TFA schedule or his health issues? Or both? Would Williams had done both if he didn't have his health issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 452 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I think it was both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,277 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yeah, I think it was essentially both. He had only a brief window in which he would have written Bridge of Spies and that's what they were shooting for, then he had his surgery and after the 6 weeks of rest or whatever it was, it was too late.

crumbs 14,306 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 My understanding was he'd set aside 4-6 weeks to write Bridge of Spies around a break in TFA writing (he was waiting for another reel of edited footage from JJ). Unfortunately it coincided with his health problems, the pacemaker and a month of bed rest. I don't think Spielberg ever envisaged much music for Spies (a bit like Lincoln) so they both thought it was achievable between breaks in TFA writing.

nightscape94 965 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 There really would have been no point in introducing yet another protagonist. You have your core three. Focus on them, especially Rey. Her training, progression, and overall story is the anchor the entire new trilogy. Don't get sidetracked with unimportant or superfluous additions unless they directly affect the arc of the story. Scarpia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,339 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Sounds like they're introducing a new female protagonist to pair with Finn because Rey will be off with Luke for most of the movie. Makes sense. Maybe Poe and Finn will both like her and it will be like Han and Luke both liking Leia in SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's a whole industry devoted to voice over work. It's not just for cartoons and doubling famous actors in ADR sessions, you have v.o. artists like Tara Strong, Cree Summer and James Arnold Taylor who make a great living just on their vocal range. Mark Hamill does mainly voice-over work now. And he's good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,306 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Music would be the last thing on Johnson's mind right now, if they're re-writing the script only a month out from production. Williams is also busy with The BFG, so he could've easily just said, "ask me when I'm done with that and I'll see how I feel." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,339 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 There won't 've any composer announcement until after The BFG is out, I'd reckon. The movie doesn't open for 23 months yet. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I reckon they're doing some re-writes on the script, not re-writing it per se. And it should finished by now: armorb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,306 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 It's nice to know they've pre-empted an obvious script problem though, if they really were marginalizing Rey/Poe/Finn in favour of new characters. I understand the thought process though, if Rey spends the first act with Luke on Acht-Too. But audiences clearly want to explore the new characters now Han is out of the picture so it's time to give these guys the limelight! I can picture a Lando-esque main character being introduced in the second act and following through into the third film, however.

Once 605 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hopefully they still type it in from the beginning. Obviously it depends on how the re-write is, but if you just edit the script here and there it's not a re-write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
