Star Wars: Rogue One

[epilogue]

Seems to confirm what my guy on the inside said.

[dimejinky99]

That's encouraging.

I'll bet my dog that they've totally cut out all the Vader battle stuff that was Sposed to be graphic

[E.H. Ruddock]

Oh yeah they gotta add Han to the movie

[dimejinky99]

He's a nice Jewish boy. But hes no Gary (or Harrison ford)

[epilogue]

More from my guy on the inside:

• Some crew initially heard J.J. Abrams was supervising the reshoots.
• Gareth Edwards is doing the reshoots himself but with a partner, Christopher McQuarrie.
• Christopher McQuarrie, the final writer on Rogue One will be working extensively with Edwards on set to make sure they’re on the “same page” with the most recent draft of the film.
• Christopher McQuarrie’s draft of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was considered superior to the film they shot previously.
• It was not Edwards’ fault as McQuarrie’s draft wasn’t completed when much of the film was shot and revisions kept coming in that made the film feel uneven.
• 32 sets have been recreated for the reshoot.
• The crew expects they are reshooting 40% of the film.
• They are working 6 days a week for 8 weeks.

When the movie began filming there was a lot of talk that the budget had been greatly reduced slightly before shooting meaning, more CGI would be needed. Now it looks like the movie is going to cost what it was supposed to cost from the start. The quality of the film wasn’t bad, it just needs to be better and all involved are happy to make that happen.

40%

None of this matters if the end product delivers, and if it doesn't then people will wonder what was reshot.

[BurtReynolds]

that's crazyness

[Strat]

This is going to suck

[epilogue]

Absolutely bonkers. But I guess if everyone's on board and excited about the reshoots, that's a good thing.

I assure you that is not the case.

For a second just imagine that Pearl Jam took a hard look at Lightning Bolt and said we need to revisit/rerecord or downright throw out 40% and start again. If the end product is better then it's justified.

Classic industry "start by deciding when it's coming out, then budget it, then cast it, then start filming, then decide what it is."

I assure you this would never happen

Did your guy leak the same information to Making Star Wars? Because they posted the same list: http://makingstarwars.net/2016/06/how-e ... shoots-be/

[VinylGuy]

And the release date is the same one? December? JJ Abrams is involved in this reshoots? This is crazy.

Wasn't this Backspacer?

[stip]

This movie is going to be great!

[dimejinky99]

Reshooting 40%? This does not bode well.
