I can't think of the last time a studio played hot potato with a script so openly with like two months before shooting would start.

Men in Black III is the first one that came to mind.

Even that went Cohen>Koepp>Nathanson with six months between Koepp's work and Nathanson's doctoring, and not Wright>Marcus/McFeely>McKay/Rudd>Marcus/McFeely between like late April and early July.

Fair, but MIB3 had the unusual step of shutting down production for four months so they could rewrite half the drat thing -- and then they were still rewriting on-set.

That's true, that's its own special clusterfuck though. We also forgot World War Z shutting down production to rewrite and reshoot the entire ending. Lindelof probably got a ridiculous paycheck for that one.

I wonder where M:I 5's rewritten ending would fall on this scale - they hadn't shot it yet from all I've heard, and McQuarrie went right out there and said "we realized it needed a little more before we actually started shooting". It's unusual to stop production for days to do something like that, but it seems like everyone involved actually had a clue what they wanted to do with it.

Or, you know, the producers. I'm currently in one trailer I can't name. It's a last resort and you hope you can get the actual talent to record it in a booth but soundalikes are the next step and the last resort is like, whoever.

What's up trailer ADR buddy? I'm in a major 2012 release trailer that's still up on iTunes, but only because the idiot hellfucker vendor didn't use the mix fix we sent them the week before the release.

If you didnt see the celebration livestream the rolling robot is an actual thing and it moved around stage flawlessly. The upper dome thing was pivoting all over the place too. Some engineering magic.

I presume that's Luke talking in the trailer

did he say "my father has it"? as in present tense? as in Vader didn't die? Are we going to see live or ghost Anakin in this movie? Please don't be played by Hayden Christensen if so

It's a callback to it, yeah, but it's not the same exact quote, what with the "And you have that power, too" at the end.

The last three campaigns I worked on the client mentioned GOTG no less than 20 times, minimum. This town is obsessed with that campaign and shoehorning dumb replacement cues to be the next Spirit In The Sky or Hooked On A Feeling.

Nobody seems to realize you need a fun movie to start with.

You can be as honest as you want, but what did you think of my trailer? I tried to give it that fun sense without dropping some super ironic song. All I did was use the Marvel/NIN template, and went through their catalog until I found a song that had a good up beat sound, as well as lyrics that kinda sorta go with the film. If I had more footage I would separate the cuts a little more, but I can save that for the next one.

That Star Wars teaser just gave me the incentive to finally block this bigoted idiot I've been friends with for 8 years on Steam, since I showed him the teaser thinking we could nerd out over it and he immediately latched onto the black stormtrooper and the badass looking woman and proceeded to go on about hollywood conspiracies and ugh. :negative:
