The digital version of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Across the Spider-Verse has been controversial, to say the least. Upon release, fans noticed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:several changes were made to the cut they watched in cinemas – including more details in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gwen’s opening sequence and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Miles’ heroic stand against 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man 2099.

Speaking to GamesRadar+ ahead of the release of R-rated dog comedy Strays, producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller explain why the 'new' cut – which was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:also available in some theaters weeks ꧙after release – features 🌌so many minor tweaks.

"There was an international version that was made almost two months before the movie came out because it had to be translated into differe🅘nt languages and these French censors have to decide what the rating of the movie is in Europe," Miller says.

"The team at [Sony Pictures] Imageworks still had some shots that they felt thဣey could do better for the finished version. So, they cleaned up and tweaked those things."

Miller also reveals that crew members chipped in with ad💖ditional ideas to help make a final cut that people will "pore over 𝓡forever."

"Certain crew members – people in the sound department or on the animation team – were like, ‘Oh, could we do this instead?’" Miller explains. "Let’s do the best possible version we can. Because it’s a multiverse movie, it’s like there’s a multiverse of the movie – that 𓂃was really the reasoning behind it. It was trying to make the best possible version that everyone was going to be the proudest of."

Lord added, "I think most of the changes are improvements.ꦫ"

Str♐ays opens in UK cinemas on August 💃17 and US theaters on August 18.
