Yesterday, everyone was shocked
to learn that the Cornetto Trilogy director, Edgar Wright had left the Ant-Man
project. Marvel Studios issued an official statement, citing "creative
differences" as the cause of the split.
After the statement many began
speculating as to why Wright had left the project, one rumor from Reddit
claimed that Wright had upset the higher-ups at Marvel because of his inability
to control the budget on the tentpole. Apparently the movie, which had yet to
start filming was "bleeding money" because of delays caused by the
director's need to be always tinkering with the script.
Don't forget to take the rumor
with a grain of salt has this was just a Reddit post.
On the other hand, Latino Review
also had a thing to say, and according to them:
"The prep on this film has been forever and it
was impossible to be behind schedule because the entire production was out on
hiatus by Marvel for duration of the script's rewrite. Families left homes to
work on the movie in Atlanta and were now suddenly in limbo. So about the
rewrite... About 3 months ago, Marvel had notes. The meat of the notes were
about the core morality of the piece, must include franchise characters. etc.,
These notes came from the big four at Marvel. Joe Cornish and Edgar Wright did
two drafts to try and answer the notes without compromising their vision. 6
weeks ago Marvel took the script off them and gave the writing assignment to
two very low credit writers. One of the writers were from Marvel's in house
writing team. Edgar stayed cool, agreed to stay on the project, and read the
draft. The script came in this week and was completely undone. Poorer,
homogenized, and not Edgar's vision. Edgar met with Marvel on Friday to
formally exit and the announcement went out directly after. Edgar & Joe
were upset by the sudden, out of nowhere lack of faith in them as filmmakers.
Fiege had always batted for them but this felt like it came from the higher
ups. Where does this leave the cast? Well, it is believed they don't have the
option to walk like Edgar did."
Ant-Man stars Paul
Rudd, Michael Douglas, Patrick Wilson and Matt Gerald. Evangeline Lilly, Corey
Stoll, Michael Peña, and Clifton Collins Jr. are reportedly in talks.
Ant-Man opens on
July 17, 2015, supposedly.
