Yeah, me too. The trailer is amazing, IMO, and before this report was released, I was more excited for R1 than Epi 8.

Holy Freaking Shit!
 
  • 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.

Jesus 40 percent. That doesn't sound promising. Is everyone really going to give their best performance the second time around?

BigBeauford 06-02-2016 01:45 PM

That's really promising. McQuarrie has been involved with some great films!

DaneMcCloud 06-02-2016 01:58 PM

It really sounds like they rushed into this thing. They've had so many people work on the script and instead of waiting to shoot, they finished a film without the final screenwriter's completed script?

John Knoll created the concept, Gary Whitta was the original screenwriter and was replaced by Chris Weitz because Whitta's script didn't work. So they shoot Weitz version while McQuarrie was writing another version?

What a disaster.

Um, why wouldn't they? They're actors. And considering the massive changes, everything will be new to them.

Any issues can be fixed in Post by ADR, which is generally performed on blockbuster films, anyway.

My guess is because they're "committed" to a new SW movie every year, their shooting schedules are pretty set.

Man, it's just nuts. They need to make films that are great and not stuck to some silly timeline.

It's going to be curious how well the previous footage meshes with the footage shot by Gareth Edwards and the footage shot by Christopher McQuarrie. The film has A-list talent galore and McQuarrie has been phenomenal as of late, so I'm guessing it'll be really great, but it sure didn't need to be this difficult. This report is way beyond the scope of anything that I had heard. I guess they wanted to keep a lid on it but that clearly wasn't possible.

40 freakin' percent.

DaneMcCloud 06-02-2016 04:25 PM

Now it's out there that Scott Z. Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum) did a pass after Chris Weitz. So that's four screenwriters associated with R1.

Crazy.

Man that sucks.


But I'll reserve judgement. There have been 'troubled' films before that turned out good.

Miracles do happen sometimes

It would suck if they hired some bozos but McQuarry is among the best in the game and IMO, a notch or two above Edwards.

Now Edwards bowing out of the Godzilla sequel begins to make more sense.

Reshooting 40% of a movie that's out in 6 months? What could possibly go wrong...

Just Passin' By 06-02-2016 06:14 PM

We get a possible window into this...

Gareth Edwards has stepped down from directing duties on the Godzilla sequel, Godzilla 2.

Edwards directed the 2014 reboot but has said he wants to concentrate on smaller projects after his stint directing the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Could be legit, could be code for "I don't want to have to fight a studio after they were the ones screwing the pooch about shooting schedules, budgets, the script and the like, and I don't want to have to re-shoot almost half a ****ing movie again."

Well apparently, Edwards will be shooting 20% and McQuarrie the other 20%.
