Take this with a grain of salt, but, it appears that Disney is not happy with how Rogue One is turning out, so they are gonna be doing some reshoots in July.

Not enough synergy probably. There's still time to put Spider-Man in this thing.

I'd like to think this isn't true...?

*NinjaPug* · 05-31-2016, 08:08 AM

Every big movie like this has reshoots but, if true, 4 weeks is pretty extensive and means there is a definite problem with the movie. I hope it's not true but with Gareth Edwards directing this it doesn't surprise me.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 05-31-2016, 08:13 AM

Monsters, Godzilla 2014, Monsters: Dark Continent...

Huh. Not a huge filmography to boast about. I liked Godzilla...

*NinjaPug* · 05-31-2016, 08:21 AM

Wait, the pseudo tabloid Page Six is the one originating this report? And they weren't the first to break the Han Solo casting like that site claims - Deadline did that a month before Page Six reported it was a done deal.

Well Hope Awakens was far from the best movie possible and that did gangbusters

*Andrew NDB* · 05-31-2016, 11:16 AM

Yeah, and "One source tells the site that the film simply falls short of the 'high bar set by The Force Awakens'"? Huh?

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 05-31-2016, 02:20 PM

TFA had the lowest bar possible. It was almost a scene-by-scene remake, and the only original scene - the Rathtar one - was boring as ****.

This is what's going to happen every year with these Star Wars movies. Every year they're probably going to be mediocre at best, and in the end they'll scramble to do reshoots. Of course Disney is unhappy with how Rogue One is turning out - they're churning these out as if it's a factory, they're not taking the time to flesh them out.

That's why we got The Hobbit movies that we did: half-baked.

*CyberCubed* · 05-31-2016, 05:17 PM

From what I'm reading on other sites, Disney is unhappy because the movie is too "dark" and "serious" and Disney wants Star Wars to be a family-centric franchise. Disney wants to sell toys and cute robots (droids), and fuzzy animals (ewoks), with heroic leads like Rey and Finn, but this movie is apparently too brooding.

In a way it makes sense. Disney is trying to target kids with Star Wars, but release a dark brooding Star Wars movie mostly aimed at adults and its probably not going to do as well.

Just like how Nickelodeon sees TMNT, Disney sees Star Wars for kids.

This is BS. Disney doesn't operate like that anymore with Eisner gone.

Disney suggested to Marvel that they should've had Cap and Iron Man team up at the end of Civil War against the super soldiers instead of the somber ending we got. Marvel didn't want to end it that way but you didn't see Disney force anything on them.

That would've been a terrible ending. Like an even lamer version of the end of Iron Man 3 with that army of super soldiers. And these ones wouldn't even breath fire.

I saw a source citing it failed to match the tone of A New Hope. Too dark. The Suicide Squad reshoots were said to be done for the same reason but the cast called b.s. on that. So we can take it with a grain of salt and hope for a quality product. The reshoots are said to take several weeks. It appears more often than not that potential blockbusters have reshoots.

Here's another update.

There was no test screenings, the reshoots are for a cameo of a very important character.

The 1st cut was pretty serious, and the new stuff they are shooting will add some fun.
