From poster from other site. He is quit close to omega underground. I think he got it from them.

Ok thanks purp. Great news. I checked hiss twitter and it confirms Gambit still shooting in New Orleans as well as other locations.


Paneo01, You seem quite worried and I understand. But this movie is getting made and that's awesome for us. You can't pay attention to posters on the internet who are tools. There has been nothing but false negativity reported on this movie so of coarse everyone wants to slag it off. Once the movie gets going and we get a few slick set pics and an interesting Sinister reveal and a great Gambit design for Channing, you will see how much all that stuff will change.

[purplevit]

Yeah, haters will hate no matter what.


They always finds new excuses when you fight them with facts.
Movie is happening and it is great

Thanks for the pep talk, I needed it.

Yup 100% right Neko. Fox is still in the business of making money. So long as they have these rights, they'll make movies that they believe will make them money. Gambit will. X-Force will. I would love to see Franco get his shot at Multiple Man before the rights shift back too.

Well, no. X-Force and Franco need to accelerate and get into production. If they aren't committed by time Disney gets through, they'll be in trouble. Gambit has already hired people and signed contracts. XFO and MM don't even have scripts. The same with the planned New Mutant's trilogy. The first one is done, but if they don't start production on the 2nd within the year, its in trouble. Seeing as the first movie doesn't even come out until 2018, I doubt they are going to start the ball rolling on a sequel before they know it'll make money in the theaters and on the back-end (DL and disc sales). What annoys me about the future is the X-Men. They are finally getting into their more sci-fi phase and it looks like Dark Phoenix will be the last of it as I doubt Marvel is going to go cosmic during their first couple of outings or even come close to touching another Phoenix story. I expect them to do more grounded story lines. So I might get my Operation Zero Tolerance, X-tinction Agenda  and X-Cutioners Song movies. The only space story under Disney I think we'll see is the Phalanx Covenant because it's so much unlike anything else that's out there.

I was saying that both of those movies would make Fox money if they were able to be made.

‘Gambit’ 10 Week NOLA Shoot Confirmed – Budget Reportedly $155M


http://omegaunderground.com/2017/12/18/gambit-10-week-nola-shoot-confirmed-budget-reportedly-155m/


Late last night, we reported that Gambit would spend 10 weeks shooting in New Orleans starting in March. Along with undisclosed other locations expected as well.


This is now confirmed by NOLA.com, who confirmed our report and added that Gambit’s budget is around $155 million.


Channing Tatum is playing Remy, while Lizzy Caplan is in talks to play the female lead.


Gambit is set for release on February 14th, 2019.

Kinda surprised at the huge budget, given CT wanted it to feel like a smaller film. Much bigger than deadpool or Logan budget... Europe locals would explain the higher budget.

 "Gambit is a "Obscure" character?
https://screenrant.com/gambit-production-budget/

Given Deadpool’s popularity as a character and Hugh Jackman’s many years as Wolverine, it would be odd for Fox would commit such a sizable budget to a relatively obscure character like Gambit. What’s more, Gambit and his backstory hardly lend themselves to a massive blockbuster. While Remy’s mutants powers will certainly take more work than those of Deadpool or Wolverine, it’s unclear where the rest of the money will be going, assuming the $155M number is accurate.

 

The movie will lack the name recognition of Spider-Man and Wonder Woman and the Marvel Studios name that helped-Doctor Strange

Dont get it.... how will it lack the marvel studios name? Gambit is a marvel character lol.

I'm guessing they just mean that it'll be a "Fox" movie instead of "Marvel Studios" movie, which helped some of the lesser-known MCU properties.
