Not At All Scary

woman scared 9[Blind Gossip] There is a serious problem with this upcoming movie. The director HATES the way it turned out!

While there is usually lots of work to be done in post-production, we hear that he is frantic about the audio.

The audio on [Movie] is being COMPLETELY redone!  Not “fixed” or “edited” but “redone.”

“Fixed” would usually refer to cleaning audio, like removing artifactual (man made) noise, such as AC hum, or background distractions like the sound of cars in a street scene.

“Edited” would usually be used when referring to editing the existing audio tracks.

“Redone” is NOT a phrase audio engineers would commonly use to describe existing audio material being refined, nor have I ever heard it used in place of terms like overdub, dub, etc.

“Redone” is a highly unusual phrase, it is not a technical phrase nor something used as a euphemism, and it means that some kind of large-scale audio changes are being made.

The basic problem is that the Director thinks that the sound completely ruins the film. It’s too slapstick – and not at all scary – and he is FURIOUS.

Given that the film is being released this summer, he’d better hurry with that redo!

    Movie: Ghostbusters
    Director: Paul Feig
    I don’t recall the original being scary. I don’t think the remake should be scary at all.

    Ghostbusters? Been hearing bad things about it. Doesn’t look worse than the original, IMO.

    Definitely xmen- apocalypse
    Apocalypse sounds like chubby bunny, not scary at all

  10. MrWolf says

    Movie – Light’s Out
    Director – James Wan
    Optional – Probably should be scary!

    Director is FURIOUS – James Wan’s last movie was Fast and the Furious 7.

    Ghostbusters

    Paul Feig

    I think the movie shouldn’t have been remade in the first place!

    X-Men Apocalypse, Bryan Singer. He’s already mentioned how the voice on Apocalypse had to be redone.

    Movie: Ghostbusters reboot

    Director: Paul Feig

    It doesn’t matter what the funny/scary balance of the film is. Noone wants to see a childhood classic rebooted as it’s destined for failure and pre-set up for disappointment all round. Paul Feig is delusional and needs to admit he made a dumb choice and should stick to making original movies.

    “I Know What You Did Last Summer”? Victoria Justice’s voice grates on my nerves, and she’s going to ruin the Rocky Horror remake too.. Sigh. Would rather she okay Magenta than Janet.

    The Conjuring 2
    James Wan
    Furious is a hint because he directed the last Fast and Furious movie.
    The first one was good so I don’t know how they could mess up so badly on the new one.

    Suicide Squad directed by David Ayer.
    The Studio is messing this up in my opinion. It never should have been a PG13 movie…

    David F. Sandberg
    Lights Out

    I can’t imagine that this is the Conjuring 2 or Independence Day. I think both are coming up too quickly and would just have a postponed release.

    If not Lights Out then I guess The Conjuring is the best bet.

  35. MadMaiden says

    Just a guess. ..
    Movie: Lights Out
    Director: David F. Sandberg
    Optional: It could be a bit funny since it is about a creature that only comes out when the lights are out. I would prefer very scary though.

    Fast and Furious 8 – directed by F. Gary Gray.

    Are they supposed to be scary? I thought they were supposed to be fun (I’ve never seen one).

    Movie: Ghostbusters (release date July 15)

    Director: Paul Feig

  44. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    Ghostbusters?
    Zero desire to see it. But I am against remakes period.

  46. Dreamfinder says

    Movie: The Conjuring 2

    Director: James Wan

    Clue: FURIOUS (he directed Furious 7)
