3cookies Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Brakes is Right. I sometimes wander where the hell these so called critics come from. They could be an essentric (sp?) old souL in a young body, whose view on a good movie is an old western with the sound and picture totally out of sync by 5 seconds. LOL. Critics are like any one of us, with our very own individual tastes, views etc... and when they put their own dam 'opinion' out there.. some people are actually silly enough to go with opinion versus fact... and see the film(s) for themselves. that sux to see 'critics' having negative impacts on a movie b4 it has a fair chance sometimes, tho its not always the fact.. .. but it is what it is.. xo, cookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ale Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Well, I think that everyone can have an opinion, but not everyone can be a critic. Edited May 10, 2008 by Ale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radewart Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 It's nice if the movie is a hit with critics and makes a bunch of money, but ultimately it only matters if you like the movie, to hell with everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viber_91 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Will Smith's Hancock Doing Late Reshoots My good friend Peter over at SlashFilm was just sent a new photo from the set of Hancock. That's old news, right? Nope - it was taken in Times Square yesterday night. How is that possible when the movie comes out in about a month? Apparently Hancock was doing very late reshoots in New York City yesterday, most likely as a result of the ratings troubles they've encountered that were detailed in this chat with director Peter Berg. Good news? Bad news? Neither really, but definitely interesting and worth noting. I think my interest in Hancock is definitely starting to increase the more I hear about it. The photo below, taken yesterday, shows Will Smith in his leather superhero outfit that appears at the end of the most recent trailer. The report sent to Peter says that Times Square was packed with extras wearing 1980's-style brightly colored clothes. They shot for 12 hours total in order to get the updated footage that they needed. Principal photography actually finished last November and Peter Berg has been working on editing and the visual effects since then. In the previous article that we published last week, Peter Berg had mentioned that the film "remained surprisingly sexual, violent and true in spirit to an original script," which had caused it to receive an R-rating twice from the MPAA. My guess is they hit a wall with the ratings board and had to go back and do reshoots in order to fix the issues. They can only edit, trim, and resubmit so many times before they realize the footage they have is R-rated no matter what. If anything, this could be looked upon as a good thing. Instead of using the Fox method of crafty editing and audio dubbing, they just opted to reshoot it all from scratch. But then again, I could be missing the entire boat with my speculation and it could be a very bad thing. To be honest, I'm going to hold out and still hope for the best with Hancock. Although I hated it initially, I've flip-flopped entirely and now I'm hoping its great - especially with the more darker, violent side that Berg mentioned included. Hancock is directed by Peter Berg, of The Rundown, Friday Night Lights, and The Kingdom previously. The film's script was written by over five different writers, including John August, Vince Gilligan, Akiva Goldsman, Vincent Ngo, and Peter Berg. Hancock arrives in theaters on July 2nd this summer - Will Smith's own 4th of July weekend spot. It's quite funny that the guy who wrote this, also wrote this a few months ago: How can Peter Berg, who direct The Kingdom earlier this year, which I enjoyed quite a bit, screw up so bad? It's obvious that the script is just a mess: they've got 5 writers credited on it. And the worst part is this is the only thing currently slated for the big 4th of July opening next summer - what the heck?! How can anyone even like this? I invite you to prove me wrong.

MissAshley Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I just thought about it, you're in the middle of one film, and you have to stop to go back and reshoot parts of the last one. I guess that's the life of a movie star, lol. I hope it's not a bad sign for the movie, is this all b/c they're pushing for PG-13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
