    The New Mutants | August 28, 2020 | Rumors are saying it released, but no one we know saw it

    in Box Office Discussion

    Posted · Edited by TimmyRiggins

    The title is going to stay the same, it's just small (from what I was told) references to the Fox films being removed. I was also told months ago that there was a definite chance that TNM could be part of the MCU, that Disney wanted Anya Taylor Joy for example for X-Force (which, as of a few months ago, was still being developed I believe). And now, it's becoming even more of a possibility after Disney was really surprised by how well the screening went. Of course, that also depends on the BO return, but the film only cost 45M, so it's bound to make some serious coin.

     

    That same person also told me Boone is finally happy with the film, and that the cut screened is closer to his original vision, more horror was added, secret reshoots actually happened (with Boone of course) at some point, the action is also bigger, the third act is bigger, so this is all very good to hear for those, like me, who are really excited about the film. Blame Fox for sitting on the film for so long, and then the merger adding to the mess. 

     

    May be wishful thinking, but I'd be ecstatic if we could end up seeing Boone's original NM trilogy happening. And it'd also be a cool thing to have them in their own corner of the MCU, have a really different, actually fresh and distinct feel to them, introduce mutants, and then have them crossover whenever they feel like it.

    What are you people even discussing here? Yes, the film is coming out, how much more do you need? Josh Boone and the cast certainly wouldn't be all of a sudden liking IG posts about the film and people being excited about it (when they haven't done so in a long, long time) if Disney changed its mind.  

     

    Accept that, why are you even going in circles for pages discussing really nothing at all, with no added information, and discussing over and over again how the film is going to fail (it won't), how it will suck, bla bla, you aren't tired of it? 

     

    God, it'd be refreshing to talk to people who actually  have something to say and positive things to say.

    It: Chapter Two | September 6, 2019 | 11th Most Profitable Movie of 2019

    The book is an absolute must read, it's also 1300 pages +, but well worth it. I'm really waiting for the director's cut for chapter one (which Barbara Muschietti addressed a few months ago on IG, it IS coming), and there will be one for chapter two as well. 

     

    I feel the first film is 20-30 min away from being great, more character moments, let it breathe a bit more. About the infamous "gang bang" scene, it is weird and seems like a really odd choice initially but King explained the rationale back in the day, and it does work and it does make sense in the way he explains it. But even Fukunaga who had some extreme stuff in his draft, said no no to including the scene. It's meant for the book only, it would just be too iffy to be seen on screen.

    If awareness translated to dollars this would be one of the biggest grossing movies ever. Seriously, my twitter feed hasn't shut up about it at since the trailer dropped.

    I think it's going to be a hit because so many people will be curious to watch the whole thing. But honestly, I think once you get past how weird it looks, it looks really well made imo. It's going to be completely extravagant and probably a blast.

    As perplexed as I was the first time watching the trailer on Twitter (which is the WORST possible place you could debut a trailer, the video quality is dog shit), I urge EVERYONE to watch the trailer again on Apple Trailers this time, in good quality.  The CG work feels and looks obviously much better, as weird as it looks, I dig it.

     

    One thing folks need to remember is that unless their intent was to make them look like real cats, it's bound to look freakish. There's no scenario where this design, wanting to retain the actors' faces but with feline features, doesn't end up looking weird. As Colin Trevorrow said, I really appreciate that Hooper is taking a giant swing on this one.
