The thing that gets me about Jurassic World more than the rest is that the bad guy's plot is to use raptors in the army. The central objection sort of just seems to be "oh no not my raptors! the perfect weapon!" instead of anything else. But who would even give a poo poo about doing that any more than about using a horse or a dog or a falcon or literally any other animal we've used in the last thousand years? And it's not like a dude with an AK or something isn't going to win against the raptor.

As far as the film's concerned it's perfectly okay to use them for anything else and works out pretty great until you do try and make dinosoldiers.

What the hell? How you can you be this far along in the process and realize it's that bad? Were they going way more slapstick with it than was apparent initially? Kasdan wrote the script, how did they crap the bed? Teek fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Jun 21, 2017 |

Replacing a director is one thing, but this late in production? Something's gotten really off. Like at this stage there are union considerations, the project's going to smell a little fishy to whomever you want in charge (and nobody wants to be the bad guy.) There's a whole point in Final Cut, the book on the making of Heaven's Gate, where the film's deep into the slog of production and UA is seriously considering firing Cimino. Bach talks with another director, never named but it's implied to be David Lean. And Lean's like- very diplomatically, I should add- "Oh Hell no I'm not stepping in on this, and good luck finding anyone who will." So either this shoot is somehow going worse than Heaven's Gate or there's REALLY a big creative blowup here.

Weird people are assuming the shoot was going badly rather than it was good but wasn't the super formulaic Disneyfied thing they want. Are we not used to producers being the worst by now

HotCanadianChick posted:If you read the entire article, it mentioned they have been filming since January. So yes, they had started filming, and for quite some time. Well then. Seriously, it's genuinely unprecedented in recent history for a director to publicly exit a blockbuster film *during* production - it's obviously happened a number of times during pre-production, but once the camera starts rolling, even on extremely troubled films (i.e. Trank's Fantastic Four), everyone involved normally takes pains to maintain the image of a smooth production (at least when on the record). This is batshit crazy.

Are we not used to producers being the worst by now Because that would more likely have come up in the writing and preproduction phase, as it did for Ant Man. Or, worst case scenario, make like Suicide Squad where there are reshoots and a poo poo ton of re-edits but the director still keeps their name on and you don't incur a lot of problems with DGA. This is something that hasn't been done on a major A-budget studio film in a while. And usually when it's done it's not just creative differences.

I know that Lord & Miller being removed is vastly different - and far more extreme - but I'm reminded of the massive amounts of reshoots that Rogue One went through before its release. I mean, we still haven't seen everything that was cut or excised from that movie. And even though I didn't enjoy Rogue One as much as others seemed to, it was still a coherent film after being squeezed through the meat grinder. Still. Pretty bonkers. I can't imagine Lord & Miller will pull a Josh Trank and start burning bridges (they're too smart for that), but if this is a worst case scenario kind of thing, it will be morbidly fascinating to see it play out.
