Star Wars stand alone movie, Rogue One, will undergo several weeks worth
of additional shooting sources have confirmed to the Hollywood Reporter.
Much of the cast and the director, Gareth Edwards, will regroup in mid June
for another round of shooting. The move is happening after execs screened the
film and felt it was tonally off and not what a Star Wars movie should feel like.
The pic has not been tested before audiences but one source describes the cut as
having the feel of a war movie.
The goal of reshoots is to lighten the mood and bring some levity into the story
and restore a sense of fun and adventure.
This is what I think about it:
I think the studio should not be meddling with the director over the movie. But then
again you can't sell any toys from the movie to the kids. Heaven forbid it might be too
gritty for them. Time will tell if studio interference will cause the movie to suffer. The
only thing Disney cares about is it's bottom line nothing more. It goes to show that the
studio is afraid of taking risks so as to not disrupt the tone of the movie. The original
trilogy was pretty dark in itself but had to mess it up having Ewoks defeat the Empire
with rocks and sticks.
