  1. They’re going horror. Suicide Squad didn’t have the luxury of being retooled and reshot like this movie, just chopped up in the editing room. You make it sound like 300m is hard to achieve for an X-men spinoff films when the box office records show otherwise. If they can market this well and have a good movie on their hands, they can surpass that, especially with the horror genre and it’s targeted demographic
  2. In other words, conjecture. If reports are true, Boone will be able to realize his full vision for the project now. The end could be great and all of this is a wash
  3. There’s nothing to substantiate any of this as if you’ve been personally behind the scenes
  4. It makes sense considering the extensive reshoots and it’s not even that crazy of a budget with that in mind. This can easily pass 300m with good word of mouth.
  5. Ruben has said numerous l times this movie was going to be unexpectedly funny in a lot of ways. He’s called it a buddy action comedy with some horror elements. I posted a video earlier in this where the ScreenJunkies crew reference their interview with him. Here’s just one time he’s said something of that nature “To me, he's this perfect balance of the most scary, intense, menacing figure, but he undercuts it with a sense of humor, these great lines in the comics, and he has that goofy tongue, so there's this unexpected lightness to something really dark, and that's what we tried to embrace with the film. We wanted to obviously make it dark and scary and a thriller, but also make it really entertaining, and fun for audiences. There's an unexpected, I think, amount of humor in the movie, and I am really proud of just having made something for fans, and just general audiences, to just go to the theater and enjoy.”
  6. Even then it’s probably hovering around 100 million or less. The film is set in an asylum, an enclosed location. This will be more of a body/psychological horror with character work
  7. No, the crew and director had dubbed the film a buddy cop comedy horror. Their intention was to be funny and not serious.
  8. Lol a bomb? The budget for this is relatively small by the looks of it and the way it’s been spoken of by filmmakers.
  9. Surprised by their review. They liked it for similar and different reasons. One thing that they emphasize is that it’s very self aware and doesn’t take itself seriously. I think I’ll check it out
  10. Reshoots were planned to make it a horror as originally envisioned. https://m.ign.com/articles/2018/09/27/gambit-movie-will-be-a-romantic-comedy-says-producer With regard to New Mutants, Kinberg confirmed the film has gone into reshoots largely in order to make the film scarier. Referencing positive responses to the film's trailer, Kinberg said, "audiences really embraced the notion of a superhero movie or a comic book movie that was, in its core, a horror film."
  11. http://www.tracking-board.com/inside-the-drama-surrounding-foxs-new-mutants-including-a-top-secret-new-cast-member-exclusive/ “Boone and Lee wrote the initial drafts of the script, but they were replaced and brought back multiple times. The studio even assembled a writer’s room to tear apart the script and put it back together. So while Boone and Lee might have their names on every draft, agency sources insist that this film was written by committee. According to those sources, here are all of the writers who had a direct hand in the New Mutants script: Scott Neustadter & Michael Weber, Josh Zetumer, Chad & Carey Hayes and Seth Grahame-Smith, plus there were six more guys in a writer’s room tasked with generating ideas for the film.” Seth was a heavily involved producer and writer on IT. This development is less surprising in light of that. Chad & Carey Hayes have horror films under their belt, having written The Conjuring movies. Boone did talk about the YA and traditional cbm elements of the film in other interviews. His words may have also been influenced when these decisions were made closer to the time of the interview
  12. Don’t really buy this. I put more stock in TheWrap and Jeff Sneider than someone especially like Jeremy Conrad. He’s already retweeted suspect stuff calling Boone a prick and pretentious. It doesn’t even make sense for the direction they have been going.
  13. Superhero film that exists within the horror genre. They’re holding back a lot
  14. There’ll be plenty comic book action and following of the source material seems like.
  15. I mean, we can definitely go down this road. Would Rotten Tomatoes select someone as a top critic because they have influence, be it even controversial and contrarion like Armond White or because they may view a person of his writing as quality? That idea I'm not comfortable with.
  16. McCarthy's review wasn't exactly quality writing. That criteria gives me some pause because what do they determine as quality
  17. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/foxs-new-mutants-casts-newcomer-blu-hunt-danielle-moonstar-role-1009703 Blu Hunt cast as Dani Moonstar
  18. To be fair, modern iterations depict him with lighter skin. Right now, they're casting for an actress with native ancestry for Moonstar. That makes a lineup of Dani, Magik, Cannonball, Sunspot, and Warlock. I hope they can find a black actor
  19. I may be wrong here, but Roberto's mother is a white American woman. Henry Zaga was born to Brazilian parents who are not white.
  20. https://instagram.com/p/BUxfQCRDlPT/ Cannonball. That's what I gathered by his look too
