#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Essentially, yes. Though of course a film can still be edited after if the MPAA has issues with content, age rating wise. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,309 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Usually the final 3 elements of the filmmaking process are the DI (colour grading), sound mix and laying in the visual effects shots (replacing all placeholder previz shots that sit in the film until finalised effects shots are approved). The DI can't be completed until all the effects shots are placed in the film, but they'll grade everything else while waiting for any late VFX shots.

DarthDementous 1,059 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 15 hours ago, Matt C said: I'm sticking by Anita Busch's report about the Rogue One reshoots. Six weeks of reshoots, with filming six days out of the week, seem pretty significant to me. Disney's not going to push the movie back either, they'll just pour more money to get it finished. I heavily doubt the authenticity of the sources when all of that is drawn from the New York Post and the EW article. The former claiming to have 'exclusive sources to page 6' while not listing them seems rather dodgy, especially considering that clickbait title: "Disney execs in panic over upcoming Star Wars film". EW as far as I know is the only article to add new information rather than re-hash what has already been said, hence why I'm leaning towards it. EDIT: New York Post says 4 weeks of reshoots.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The film could be decent enough. Being in the OT time set will help. No need of jedi or the force (we will have vader and the likes anyway). They just need to make Williams music justice and the film will be good.

Do a movie based only on that and I'm out! A cameo by Vader or Mon Mothma will never be enough to catch my attention.

mstrox 6,651 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I think the reason that the books get sometimes tiresome for me is because they were always huge adventures starring Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, C-3PO, R2-D2, and almost always Lando. High-points of the old EU could be found in the Old Republic era, the Rogue Squadron novels, etc - that don't rely on squeezing all the big leads into the story. I'm happy that some of the newer EU books (Aftermath, Lost Stars, etc) focus on all-new characters with basically cameo appearances from the Bigs - and I'm even happier that they're willing to give it a try with the movies, too. If Rogue One fails, I'm sure from there on forward it will all be Young Han, Young Boba, Young Yoda, Young Obi-Wan, Young Greedo, Young Lando, etc. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 You have the world (e.g. a huge galaxy with many different worlds, the Empire and the Force) and the vehicles (Star Destroyers , TIE Fighters, AT-ATs). With those two base elements, there is a huge variety of stories that can be told with very differing tones. Even when they change the era, they can use the occasional familiar planet, character or something Force-related. I don't think an excessive amount of familiarity and retreading is necessary. Definitely not to the point that they did with The Force Awakens, which was certainly well-done, but also pretty much a remake of the Original Trilogy. After the first time I saw Episode 7, I basically considered it "Playing it Safe: The Movie" and that is exactly what it is. I understand they're wary of taking any risks after the prequels debacle. But surely movies can be different from the ones that already exist without making the mistakes that the prequels did? Hell, the idea of the prequels themselves was not actually bad at all and they could have worked perfectly fine. The base story may have required some tweaking and certainly the execution should have been different too. But they could absolutely have worked if done well.

They wouldn't have cited NYP if it wasn't from a reliable source. While I don't think Disney and/or Lucasfilm is in a panic over Rogue One, THR says that the reshoots are "pretty significant." Which means a good portion of the movie is being reworked, whether it's close to half the film or just a small fraction. But reshoots do happen, and sometimes it improves the final product. I don't remember people saying "OMG that's doomed!" when Suicide Squad also underwent big reshoots. DarthDementous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
