Remember
years ago when a New Mutants movie was coming out? And then a trailer
came out but the movie didn't. Then another trailer came out and the
movie still hadn't. Then a pandemic hit and the movie still didn't
come out? Yeah. I do too. I was never a huge fan of the New Mutants
comics but knew it existed and read some. It didn't get good until
much later when older characters joined as mentors and such. I don't
think I even mentioned this movie in any of my Excitement Level
posts. It is such a “meh” team but these days they can take any
character and make them interesting. No one could have predicted
years ago that Deadpool would become one of the highest grossing
comic movies.
People
started talking about reshoots for the movie and I thought that could
not be possible since it was made years ago and the director Josh
Boone confirmed this in an interview stating”Everybody said we did
reshoots! We've never done reshoots. And I'll tell you this: if there
hadn't been a merger, I'm sure we would've done reshoots the same way
every movie does pickups. We didn't even do that because by the time
the merger was done and everything was settled, everybody's older.”
The merger he is speaking of is Disney/Marvel. As for everyone being
older, yeah, that is for sure a thing. Look at them kids from
Stranger Things. Kids grow up fast as shit and trying to shoot
anything a year or two later would look silly. Hell, even doing it
with adults don't work as seen in that Fantastic Four reboot.
The
movie is supposed to be a thriller and very dark. I don't care. I
wanna see some new strange shit and they ain't giving it to me. Since
every theater is closed people started asking for this to be placed
on Disney+. They are saying everything needs to be put online which
is silly. I wanna see Black Widow and will see it as soon as I can in
theaters. But this? Put that shit on Youtube. I haven't even heard
nerds I know talk about this movie or have any interest in seeing it.
It should have come out years ago and I have a feeling that when it
does come out it will dated looking/feeling. But maybe...
Maybe...
If
these were connected to the MCU I would be interested. The characters
they have listed are Wolfsbane, Illyana Rasputin, Cannonball,
Moonstar, and Sunspot. Illyana is the younger sister of Colossus from
the Deadpool/X-Men films so there's that. And Cable ran the team at
one point. There was a rumor that it was part of the MCU but that got
shot down quick by Disney. It is a definitely a bold movie having
this movie centered around a group of mutants who for the most part
no one knows. Maybe as a series this could work the way Legion did.
Fuck, that was a good show and I have intentionally avoided finishing
the series. I'm not against movies/shows venturing away from the
source material as long as it is good. But New Mutants just doesn't
seem worth the hassle. They should just release it online and get it
over with.
