Fan made Gambit movie trailer

Pretty silly but entertaining enough.

Doug Liman On Why He Left Channing Tatum's Gambit

http://lrmonline.com/news/exclusive-doug-liman-talks-about-leaving-channing-tatums-gambit

Liman: “I'm all about the script, and I just wasn't feeling it,” he told us. “I've gotta connect to the script. On Bourne Identity, Matt Damon was always referring to himself as a 'script whore,' and I'm with Matt on that. It's like, you feel the script, that's everything. We make movies because we want to tell great stories. The Wall started with a contest Amazon ran, and Dwain's script rose to the top, and then it got handed to me.”

See, I knew the Robocop guy was a bad choice! Superhero films are so saturated right now you need a good script.

So this is why the delay, they're starting from scratch because the script was actually rubbish? Maybe in a way that's good, otherwise a bad movie would have been made and the nay sayers would feel justified. So they were forced to make it better. On the other hand, it means we lost a good director.

How do you guys feel at this point? Right now I don't know, people are going to trash this movie unless it's AMAZING. It's like folk want it to fail and these delays don't give me much hope.

3 years is more then enough to make a great script. I don`t understand what is happening.

Robocop reboot was a trash.

Yeah the Robocop reboot was a trashy popcorn flick, and I guess you can say that about most superhero films as well but the ones that stand out are more than that. 

At this point, I don't think it will go ahead.  I reckon they'll just let it slowly fade out of existence and then one day somebody will make a passing comment about how it's gone.  I mean, the Deadpool movie didn't go through THIS much trouble, did it?  After the Wolverine Origins one, both Gambit and Deadpool had their movie discussions begin, and Deadpool has number 2 coming out already.

Deadpool took 10 years to get right and before that on Blade 3 Goyer had intentions of doing a DP move so it was in development even longer, i dont care how long it takes as long as they get it right

Here's another take on the situation

http://movieweb.com/gambit-movie-director-doug-liman-exit-no-personal-connection/

I saw at least two more, news sucks but it's getting a lot of traction. I think the attention will do one of two things. Get it scrapped completely, or encourage Fox to get a decent scribe for the film.

This take is completely different from first one

The Gambit movie is in a interesting place. Fox is currently in a hit or miss mode when it comes to the X-Men. X-Men Apocalypse was a surprise critical dud. Deadpool was a surprise hit. Logan did well but was Hugh Jackman's swan song. Let's face it Fox has produced more duds critically than not. It's not a Gambit problem in my problem but rather a overall a lack of cohesive vision for the X-Men franchise as a whole. Which is why the time line is a mess in the movies. Time will tell.

Is Gambit still part of that plan?

HUTCH PARKER (X-Men movie producer): It is. It is. I don’t have any news on that but there’s still a desire and a passionate interest to see that movie made

Well, that something at least. Now they just need to find a director.

I heard that Doug Liman exited from Justice League Dark too. I'm not sorry for him. I also don't expect for a Gambit solo movie. Tatum gone bald and fat. It's bad for him that he had to live with that bad semi-gambit hair look in past two years.

Bit harsh... At this point, I love Tatum's zeal but it takes more than that to pull out a good movie and Gambit has to be that, a good movie. Still think a series based on his younger years would be better but with it having to be on Fox, scares me.

It's stuck in what I like to call the "Ross and Rachel" Phase of movie making. Something Deadpool was also stuck in for a while.
