Massive reshoots and delays usually mean mistakes were made.
I am not saying that the film will suck..it always possible that surgery will save the patient...but todny this film has not had huge problems is just plain silly.
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

The making of this film has been a mess, if ever there was one.
Sometimes a good film can actually emerge from a mess, but to deny that the making of New Mutants has been packed with mistakes and major misteps. is foolish.
But then, I note that fanboys often live in their own litter realities.
Can you point to these mistakes and misteps? Otherwise it’s just conjecture

It will come out, and probably be forgotten within two weeks.
Look, it was an interesting idea for a X Men film, but it seems to have been really screwed up in the making.
And, as usual, the fanboys are trying to minimize what freaking mess the making of this film has become.
There’s nothing to substantiate any of this as if you’ve been personally behind the scenes

$100m is far too much for that kind of project. That's 3x more than IT
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.

I'm not convinced that Ruben Fleischer was in on the joke but I don't think it would've been as funny if he was. The internal war between him trying to make a generic superhero movie and Hardy going all in on his shenanigans is what makes it work.
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.”

the budget was probably small but after reshoots it will probably be way higher
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

While I agree about comedies I don't think it's a good thing here: the movie is not meant to be funny :
If people thought it was funny then there's a problem there ^^"
No, the crew and director had dubbed the film a buddy cop comedy horror. Their intention was to be funny and not serious.
-
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.
-
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

Reshoots were planned to make it a horror as originally envisioned.

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."

It's called living in the real world instead of a fanboy fantasy world.
New Mutants gives every sign of being a total mess,one that is unsalvageable on a reasonable cost.
Reshooting the entire movie would send the budget into orbit,making it unlikely to earn a decent return on investment.
Your guess is as good as her/his

It doesn't make sense to me either. Which is why I'm not buying it. I'm just discussing what was said in the article though lol
“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

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.

Superhero film that exists within the horror genre. They’re holding back a lot

There’ll be plenty comic book action and following of the source material seems like.

McCarthy was a critic for 31 years at Variety before moving to THR. Before he became a critic, he worked in the industry both for major studios (Paramount) and minor ones (new Horizons). He's written several books about (of all things) the great filmmakers of 1970s B-movies. He's written an Emmy Award-winning documentary (Preston Sturges: The Rise and Fall of an American Dreamer), and produced and directed multiple other documentaries, including Visions of Light, which was awarded Documentary of the Year by the National Society of Film Critics (and which anyone who loves movies should see -- it's fantastic). In short, whether you agree with him or not, it's probably hard to find someone more qualified than him to comment on studio filmmaking.
Do you really want to go down this road?
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.

Give it a second try 10 year's for now, sometime it play like a thrilling very enjoyable horror-ish movie and one of the most fun movie watching experience (didn't like the first 2 time I watched it).
Has for the top critics, it is easy to find out :
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/help_desk/critics/
TOP CRITICS
Top Critic is a title awarded to the most significant contributors of cinematic and critical discourse. To be considered for Top Critics designation, a critic must be published at a print publication in the top 10% of circulation, employed as a film critic at a national broadcast outlet for no less than five years, or employed as a film critic for an editorial-based website with over 1.5 million monthly unique visitors for a minimum of three years. A Top Critic may also be recognized as such based on their influence, reach, reputation, and/or quality of writing, as determined by Rotten Tomatoes staff.
Amy Nicholson on MTV (or pretty much anywhere) is an obvious top critic to me, she is a big name, university in film, anthropology,video, writing, playwriting on a really big outlet doing this for over 15 year's that wrote a book on Tom Cruise for Cahier du cinema, what more credential could be required ?
McCarthy's review wasn't exactly quality writing. That criteria gives me some pause because what do they determine as quality

To be honest, I was really hoping for them to cast a dark-skinned actor for Roberto (like he was in the comics).
It is what it is now, but since Karma is not going to be in the film, and they added another white gal (Magik) I am a tad disappointed. New Mutants was such a multicultural comic: its first lineup was a First Nations girl (Mirage), a Scottish Catholic girl (Wolfsbane), a Vietnamese girl (Karma), a dark-skinned Brazilian boy (Sunspot), and an American white boy (Cannonball).
I loved that lineup; I hope that they eventually introduce Karma...
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

So this is supposed to be another 80s style body horror movie like Fant4stic? Wonder if the director will have several coke fueled meltdowns this time
I'm surprised this unsubstantiated rumor lives on

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.

Cannonball. That's what I gathered by his look too

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

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
