Uh Oh...Warner Bros. want a complete RESHOOT?
CHUD posted an article suggesting that Warner Bros. are unhappy with the film (which they spent $75 million on), and are considering reshooting the whole film. Apparently they are unhappy with the lead actor, Max Records, as well as with the tone of the film.
It's unknown right now if they would want Spike Jonze to reshoot the film, or even possibly get a new director who would be willing to make a more fitting film to what they have in mind. Leaked comments from the Pasadena screening a few months ago suggested that the film was more adult than child-friendly, which is probably what Warner Bros. were hoping for the film.
In any case, this is bad news for those who were looking forward to Spike Jonze making a Spike Jonze film. Will pressure from the studio derail his vision for the film? Read the article below.
