Oh COME ON!!!

Ugh. 


I don't like Verbinski anyway but at this point I just want the damn movie made, although it's seeming less and less likely.  How long can they do this dance?  It's not really fair on fans. 


Maybe the whole thing does need a fresh slate?
what kind of issue Makes THREE directors bail?

Word on the street is that after NEW MUTANTS tested well but not great, the studio decided to actually embrace the film’s horror elements and beef up the scares in the wake of the success of IT and GET OUT last year.

Oh boy. That makes me nervous. Reminds me of WB retooling the DC movies to be more like the MCU

WTF!!!!!!  >:(


What do I do now? Just give up? No one has been more positive than me about this movie. What am I supposed to think now? This is the last thing this movie needed. Even if all will be fine and new director comes in and back on track, this last piece of bad press is very damaging. I thought it could easily rise above the bad press it had already gotten but this definitely hurts. If it's not going to happen just let me know now and stop torturing me!!! Three years of this is just upsetting and cruel.


They never officially announced Gore Verbinski which had me skeptical because it was the same thing with Doug Liman. But at this point I thought it was good to go on the director side of things.


I love the crew they've assembled too.


FOX clearly want to make this movie. What's the problem?!


GIVE ME MY GAMBIT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope Gore's team will stay.

I just want this movie to start filming. Lock up a damn director already. This movie shouldn't be a hard sell.

They need a good NAME director or its bad rep will get worse.
Dont get it either, CT has a good reputation in the business. Hes producing and his partner is writing, so it does not look good for his rep either.

Who wants to hear the director is gone this late into the movie having deadlines? ummmmm


Definitely a tenuous situation, but if the movie has enough verve then a good director shouldn't have too much problem. However, that's IF the movie has enough. I hope this can get pulled togehter

So, HR said Gore had creative differences. Any theories on what keeps going wrong here?

Most people that will watch movie will hear about it only after trailers or TV spots, etc. So it is more important to make a good movie and marketing then just have a big name director.

No clue at this point. But as bad as it is to lose the director at this point, to lose a director in the middle of shooting would be worse.


And I agree with you purplevit.

Good point.

True, but IMO having a respected known director would take away some of stigma this movie has right now.

Also good point. But think that carries more weight with critics than the common movie goer. No one knew/knows who Tim Miller was/is.
