The Tron 2 trailer ...Thanks for the review, Vance! The Tron 2 trailer looked cool, but I decided to wait for the reviews. I'm obviously happier for it, because Tron 2 sounds inferior to an original that was fun, but hardly riveting.<br /><br />As to you and Daddy: my standards change when it comes to big-budget flix. So much money is sunk into production and marketing that seeing a poor effort, late shooting or no, is worse than some guy with a term paper deadline.<br /><br />The producers are supposed to financially responsible and are putting something out to the public; the student is pursuing an academic goal privately. When big budget movies show a lack of concern for dialogue, roles, and story, I just hate the waste. When it's very bad, it's "massive waste," like running a shower for hours but not getting in...<br /><br />Obviously, it's better to realize a movie needs help and make reshoots as needed. But when a finished movie still looks like it needs an overhaul, I'm surprised at the bad bets made by business people, and how ineffective artists can be when offered a nice big pile of $ to make a movie. "Primer" was great and it cost less than 10k, I think...Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414047155226211676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-4192146653906499182010-12-21T05:08:09.594+11:002010-12-21T05:08:09.594+11:00Daddy,
That was my same thought when I first hear...Daddy,<br /><br />That was my same thought when I first heard about it. Instead of causing me to doubt the story, however, it made me think that the prospects for Tron were really dire indeed. (Are you calling Paul a liar? Ha ha.)<br /><br />Because I chose to believe the story, that also made me think that the reshoots in this case HAD to be bad news for the movie, coming an almost impossibly short amount of time before the film's release. I agree that in general reshoots may be no worse than a person re-working a term paper prior to the deadline, having recognized that he/she started out on the wrong path. In some cases that might be a mistake, but in other cases it might be the paper's saving grace.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877371347086447490.post-86686636366341969982010-12-21T04:31:39.533+11:002010-12-21T04:31:39.533+11:00I must jump in to set the record straight on a few...I must jump in to set the record straight on a few things here.<br /><br />First, I know there were reshoots on Tron Legacy that occurred this year, but I think it would be nearly impossible for them to be done three weeks before the movie is released. <br /><br />You have to account for shooting, processing, editing, FX, sound mix and the actual creation of the prints--all of which take time. As far as I could tell, the reshoots happened earlier this summer.<br /><br />I also have to disagree with the notion that reshoots means a movie is in trouble. It's true that you find the movie in the editing and sometimes in editing, you realize that embellishments need to be made...or shots picked up. A lot of movies reshoot, just not all of them have the level of attention as Tron.DGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302995272029761401noreply@blogger.com
