Getting to know the cast and having them be comfortable with me, it was a really great way to understand what they were going through.” Wait, they're on sets/locations shooting with a green screen to get pick-ups/inserts? What? e: Also, from the Vanity Fair article: quote:When Isaac arrived in Wadi Rum for his first week of shooting, Abrams had set up a massive greenscreen in the middle of the desert. “And I was like, ‘J. J., can I ask you a question? I notice we’re shooting on greenscreen.’ And he’s like, ‘So why the hell are we in the desert?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah!’ And he said, ‘Well, because look: the way that the sand interacts with the light, and the type of shots you would set up—if you were designing the shot on a computer you would never even think to do that.’ Almost Blue fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Jun 12, 2019 |

I know its ingrained in us growing up that we all should strive to be rich and famous, but acting has to be one of the worst God drat careers. sure if you're an a-lister you're probably rich, but - you'll probably gently caress up with all that money and owe nic cage-esque back taxes - you have no privacy and awful shitheads trying to snap pictures of your dongle - if you're a woman good luck finding roles past 40 or so - if you're in it for the love of the game, greenscreens have to be the most insulting poo poo - JJ Abrams

This probably got posted a while back, but lol https://twitter.com/swtweets/status/1017139557412638720 Perhaps they should have considered using "red matter" instead, lol Also, that "Star Wars fact" has people thinking that the First Order may have ripped holes in space-time. Here's a Looper video cued up to the relevant silliness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhgzV0lePfk&t=324s Just loving lol

Cheesus posted:I'm ignorant about processing film, but am I wrong if I read that and assume that the only way they could be editing while they shoot is because...they're filming digitally? I honestly have no clue. JJ Abrams gave an interview to Vanity Fair or some other publication back in, like, 2014, about how he felt it was so important to preserve shooting on film (even though some shooting on TFA was done on Arri ALEXA cameras), but we won't know more until American Cinematographer or Cinefex does a writeup about the movie's production.

I don’t even blame JJ for this. Kevin Feige will go down as whatever the cigar chomping Hollywood bigwig generational talent is. No one but him seemingly can make these long connected franchises work. It’s just the most sad with Star Wars because I’d rather have movies I’ll never forget for the wrong reasons like the prequel then the totally forgettable messes we’ve gotten so far that really stink of studio mishandling.

Disney's treatment of it kind of makes sense if Kathleen Kennedy is taking the "playground for storytellers" approach that someone in either this or the other Star Wars thread mentioned George Lucas had originally intended. However, it's kind of weird to do that with the sequel trilogy.

She is president of Lucasfilm, but going from both official and unofficial behind-the-scenes accounts, she is also very involved with the production of the films (as she has co-produced all of the post-buyout ones up to this point).

Yeah, I don't want to place all of the blame on her because it seems like the writers of these movies have a certain amount of leeway with story (especially JJ and Rian in the sequel trilogies). However, she's probably the person in the best position to exercise some form of creative oversight.

To be fair to Kathleen Kennedy, she was a producer on the original Jurassic Park so she has a bit of cred. But it seems like she's more involved with the Star Wars films than anything else and is the one that made the push for so many films.

She produced most of Spielbergs films, starting with E.T. and stuff like Back to the Future that he co-produced, so there's way more cred than that. But, given her production history, it basically seems to be "let the director do whatever."

General Dog posted:It fell apart with Rogue One Oh right, true, though it's always been a little less clear to me how much changed there. There's stuff in the trailer that's not in the movie, but I thought the director himself said they just shot a bunch of stuff without knowing what would end up in the movie. I know there are reports that they brought someone in to do reshoots and edits and cut Edwards out, but I don't know how much is true vs. rumors. Meanwhile on Solo they just straight up fired the directors and brought in Ron loving Howard. Much more clear cut what happened there.

A huge chunk of Force Awakens' marketing was made up of unused shots and deleted-scene footage - but we also know that a decent amount of Rogue One was rewritten/reshot by an uncredited Tony Gilroy. (Luckily, Gilroy did a pretty good job of it.) Also, as it happens, the recent movie Prospect is an unofficial Star Wars movie about space outlaws that's vastly superior to Solo in every way.

My understanding is that the events of the Scarif battle were pretty heavily changed, and that the entire space battle over Scarif and the New Hope tie-in were late additions by Gilroy.

Scarif was simplified. Originally it had them steal the plans in one building, then run to another part of the island complex to transmit them. They reworked it to all be the same building.
