The road to New Mutants’ eventual release 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:was a long and winding one, punctuated by delays, new ownership from Fox to Disney, and behind-the-scenes issues. A new report has shed some light on the latter, with Fox apparently really disliking the first cut of the movie.

After principal filming was complete, Fox reportedly had a seriously negative reaction as the “studio discussed throwing the entire movi🐓e out to ‘start over’ with a total re🐓shoot,” according to .

Before even t♋hat less-than-lukewarm response, several aspects of New Mutants ended up being left on the cutting room floor. It’s a miracle this movie even got made, judging by the scope of the shifts the X-Men spin-off ended up taking.

Originally set in the 1980s and envisioned as a “hybrid-horror Breakfast Club movie,” New Mutants would ha🧜ve featured crossovers with the X-Men &ndasﷺh; including Storm as a “sadistic jailer” – and there were even wider plans for a trilogy.

But, the creative process was shaky, to put it mildly. The report details writers being continually brought in to punch up the material, a new direction away fro🧔m the Breakfast Club motif after shot-callers got cold feet, and a roundtable “intervention” with director Josh Boone.

After some serious behind-the-scenes struggles, New Mutants was eventually filmed and, remarkably, no reshoots were done. What you’ll see in theatres is what was filmed the first time around. No pick-ups, no 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rogue One-style retread, nothing. So much for starting over. According 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:to the first reviews, the results are mixed.
