I knew once Whedon was connected the reshoots would become extensive. After Wonder Woman, I figured they'd probably try to reshoot a significant portion of the film. People called me an idiot and "hater". lol. Vindication.

Did you really need "vindication" for something like this?

 

[ZeoVGM]

Jock Wheder?

That's the name of the Mark Wahlberg's character in the next Michael Bay film.

Joss Whedon's The Avengers League

I thought GAF largely dislikes Whedon? What changed?

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

It's gonna be so damn mediocre. (unless Whedon pulls off some kind of miracle)

 

[inky]

He changed sides ;P

I don't think he's largely disliked. He's divisive at best thanks to Marvel stuff, but before he was mainly a nerd icon.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Honestly I prefer this especially if it means fixing some of Zack Synder's issues (I'm not a fan of Synder's directing)

Agreed.


I imagine the reshoots consist of talky scenes to give the movie substance, coherence and make us like the characters.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

But Superman is dead, why is Cavill availability an issue?

Maybe they haul Clark around with them on hilarious adventures, like that other movie.

 

[Strangelove77]

Lesser of two evils.

Waaaaaaay lesser.

 

[Principate]

Wonder Woman had reshoots. Most movies do. Thor Ragnarok actually just finished three weeks of reshoots. Reason Justice League gets attention is, like Rogue One, another director helping out.

The director said there wasn't any.

 

[MisterHero]

They just want someone who isn't Snyder. I guess they'll cite for reasons relating to the quality of their funny book movies, but...

 

[Sir Doom]

Gimme mustache Superman​

 

[Hatefilled Vengeance]

Delay the release. Extend the reshoots until Whedon is able to basically reshoot the entire movie. Leave the mustache.

 

[BTM]

Everything is going to be alright

 

[shira]

Well as long as it stays Oscar eligible

 

[broncobuster]

The director said there wasn't any.

She said they didn't cut any scenes. They had additional photography to fill in a couple. For example, when Diana

Spoiler

is walking towards the battlefield and sees the losses that took place.

It's normal to look at the footage and see if something should be added to heighten the emotions of a scene.

 

[Moppeh]

Why not CGI a Mustache on every shot not filmed in the re-shoots.?

This man gets it

 

[Apt101]

Did you really need "vindication" for something like this?

Sure, why not.

 

[Finaika]

DCEU is a mess.

 

[Flynn77]

That has not been the case, however, as the new scenes that are being shot have required him to jump back and forth from each production. Because of this, a mustache he grew for his character in the “Mission Impossible” sequel will have to be digitally removed in post-production. Paramount, which is distributing the “Mission: Impossible” sequel, would not allow Cavill to shave the facial hair while production was taking place.

Or you know, get him to film a quick scene of him shaving and save yourself thousands of CGI dollars.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Literally the same exact thread for every DC movie.
Might as well make a community OT

 

[Cvie]

depends on the continuity, if he is filming stuff that takes place after or alongside stuff he has already shot your solution wouldn't work

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

"Connective tissue".

So, in other words, trying to fix the script.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Only 3 things in life are guaranteed: death, taxes, and fear of reshoots.

 

[Santar]

[Slaythe]

It's not even a big mustache, how long could it possibly take to grow back ??!!

 

[Glass Rebel]

The mustache bit is hilarious.

I am also not surprised that Whedon has to work on the "connective tissue" of the film. I could have told you that when he was brought on board. Snyder is terrible at that.

Either way, happy to hear that the setpieces are still usable and I hope this is for the best.

 

[CaviarMeths]

He made a second Avengers movie that wasn't as good as the first.

 

[Glass Rebel]

It makes sense that fans of BvS would love Whedon because AoU has some parallels to Snyder's "masterpiece":

- Smartest guy does stupid shit repeatedly
- Villain is a goofy bootleg of his comic version
- Random scenes thrown in there that make no sense

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Mediocre is still a step up from garbage...

 

[Salty Rice]

GAF hates Snyder more with that the outcast becomes the savior.

 

[Magwik]

I don't know why people are making a huge deal out of this. It doesn't say anywhere that Whedon is writing these shots, a lot of this was more than likely planned before Snyder had to take leave from the movie.

 

[Theorry]

12 pages. Jesus.

Where do you get that from? BvS fans mostly despise Whedon.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Honestly, if they're doing this, I think there's a chance the movie might not be bad.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Not sure why people are coming up with ideas for him getting rid of the mustache because the problem lies with the JL film, not MI.

Why should the MI filming be altered or include costly changes all because WB can't get their shit together?

The onus is on WB to accommodate Henry's schedule, not the other way round.

Whedon got his start as a script doctor and is still known today as a writer first and a director second. You don't hire him unless you want him to punch up the dialogue. I don't think he's making any big changes, but yes, it's absolutely safe to assume that he's writing some stuff.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I was obviously joking with my list.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Not sure what this shitty response is for.

Henry was hired for a specific time frame to film mission impossible which required him to have a mustache.

Justice league took longer to film then planned and yet people are acting like the mission impossible filming should have to change things when the problem lies with the justice league filming.

Why should they spend money or change their film because a previous job took longer then expected? They don't owe WB anything.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

O.N.U.S.

It's like anus but with an 'o'.

 

[Flynn77]

Lets compromise. How about we have him shave then CGI on a moustache?

 

[wazoo]

I did not known official polls have been done on that question.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

We need to go further.

Not that it wasn't bloody obvious but SM has been in non of the marketing material

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Superman coming back was never a spoiler

 

[TetraGenesis]

This can only be good for the film. I'm sure only so much can be done at this point but this will make a big difference for the final product. Mustache-removal and all.
