What
for some studios is a hassle, a headache, and an extra cost they
would prefer not to have, for Marvel Studios reshootings is a part of
the movie making experiance, and business.
A
few days ago, writer/director Joss Whedon announced that principal
photography on Avengers: Age of Ultron had finished, and now, Marvel
Studios President, Kevin Feige suggests that the cast may end up
reassembling for at least two weeks of extra photography.
"I'm
reading the part in Jedi where George (Lucas) is finding the movie in
the cut. It happened in Empire, and it happened in Star Wars. You've
heard about those famous early screenings where people were like,
'Poor George. His career is over.' That brings great solace to me
when we screen our movies for the first time and they're terrible and
they're a big mess. I remind myself to get calm and proceed. Post is
my favorite part, because it's easiest to find what's wrong with the
movie when you're watching the movie," said Feige on how
he remains optimistic about reshoots.
Feige
reafirmed that it has become standart practice for Marvel Studios to
schedule two extra weeks of production, so that if and when
“surprises” appear post, things will move more easely.
"We
always build in two weeks because the hardest thing about the
additional photography is the actors' schedules, wrangling the
actors. So we just build it in. We've done some movies that have
three days of reshoots, some that have fifteen days, twenty days if
not more.
Sometimes
we know what we need by that point and sometimes we're wrangling them
anyway. There's a shot in Thor: The Dark World we call the Three
Continent shot. It's one shot, with three different actors in it,
that was done on three different continents.
Additional
photography is invaluable. Sometimes it's to fix something that's not
working, but most of the time on our movies it's two-fold: sometimes
a better or more exciting idea will come along, or more often
something will come out of the movie - because it's too long or the
movie is stronger without a particular beat or scene or shot, and you
need connective tissue."
Avengers:
Age of Ultron opens on May 1st, 2015.
