lorddemaxus Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) I thought the movie was premiering later tonight. Also I think Disney meddling may have occured. Already hearing a lot on how the movie has changed from test screenings. On the other hand, Marriage Story is getting some good reactions so not all bad I guess.

Gray has said in interviews he's been editing / tinkering with the movie and still would be if the release date wasn't set. It's why it missed it release date already a couple of times. https://deadline.com/2019/08/ad-astra-james-gray-interview-sci-fi-future-fox-venice-1202705879/ Quote First, Ad Astra proved a complicated film to get through the post process. Originally set to release in January, the date was pushed to May and a potential Cannes slot, before finally settling on a late-September global rollout after a premiere at Venice Film Festival, which will happen Thursday on the Lido. That was, Gray says, because he was still tinkering with the picture right up until a week ago—“I would still be mixing now if I could”—with the process behind the movie’s effects work proving especially challenging to wrangle. Quote There are a couple of movies that I’m circling for sure, but I’m tired. I mean, when I tell you that we finished this a week and a half ago, I’m not exaggerating. They pulled the plug on the mixing. “James, that’s it, you have no more time.” I would still be mixing now, if I could A long interview well worth reading 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the Marriage Story thread, BTW? Scarlett is coming for the win. praise is through the roof for her, Driver and Dern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 This sounds like it's gonna be divisive. What that means for its box office potential remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 It should do better than First Man at least because Brad + mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 You know what other movie was "too long", had an "unfocused script", ans had an "inconsistent tone"? Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. You know what other movie was divisive upon its festival run and subsequent theatrical release? 2001: A Space Odyssey. So even if critics do have some negative things to say about it, that's not going to stop me for being excited for this film. I now know to keep my hype level in check, which will only increase how much I like the film in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Sounds like this is one for the Gray fanboys (the Graylords) so I see this as an absolute win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasNicole Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) I’ve seeing plenty of great reactions on twitter, maybe it won’t be mixed I found the LetterBoxd reactions pretty questionable except for 1.

CoolioD1 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 If it's divisive, it's pretty clear it's the type of movie that'll have people going "can you believe this was divisive when it came out??" in ten years. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wild Eric Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I dunno, when I search "ad astra" on Twitter, most of the reactions seem positive? Maybe it's because the algorithm is doing it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
