Scott Derrickson - Leaves Doctor Strange 2 Over Creative Differences (Sam Raimi In Talks to Direct)

[MartyMcFly]

Yeah the whole horror thing was just assumed by websites because of Derrickson’s past films. It’s why Feige had to come out and clarify.

To be fair, that was the way they announced it at comic con

 

[MartyMcFly]

If they want PG-13 horror maybe they liked Josh Boone's New Mutants and will give it to him

Also could’ve liked the exorcism of Emily rose directed by Scott Derick...oh too soon

Baby Driver sucked and the first Ant-Man is actually good IMO so let's not give him credit for automatically outdoing what was actually done.
And if I understand the Marvel making process correctly, Derrickson might not have had sole creative vision of the action sequences. But I do agree, I think Dr. Strange had some insanely dope ones.
Like I said, I don't think any Marvel movie is a 10/10 so you are right. But nothing has gone below a 6/10 either. Just my opinion.

I’m wondering if marvel wanted to pull a age of ultron and cram multiverse of madness with a lot of world building limiting the direction of the story.

but it’s most likely got to do with the horror tone that SD wanted to go with cause Feige kept backtracking on that in every interview/presentation I’ve seen.

That’s what I was thinking as well they could be using This movie to set up the next event film which I think will be Hickman version of Secret Wars. That story revolves around the multiverse and different versions of characters.

Rumor on reddit is that they wanted to make DS2 a major event film (Civil War). Probably didn't think he had time to pull it off.....then add in the fact it probably wasn't going to be the movie he wanted to make.

I think that people let their expectations get away from them, as if they were going to do something like The Thing, Reanimator, From Beyond or Phantasam.

Good CSI work, homie. I’d read rumors of them wanting to introduce a lot in this movie too. Didn’t know Scott was going through it. That’s wild.

Well, people are stupid. They still said it would be PG13. Said it’s possible to do horror without it being R rated. Peoples stupidity creating false expectations isn’t new but fukk, we should be smarter at this point.


But all the stuff @Dr. Narcisse just posted seems like the much more plausible situation. Scott pitched one movie, studio said “bet! Now let’s also add this this this and this” at the last minute, hires someone to replace his best friend, the changes keep coming and here we are

And this is why I don't think it's about the horror aspect. It's about the story he wants to tell. Plus, in my opinion, Doctor Strange became more popular because of Infinity War and not his solo movie. So they could have added stuff, and he wanted more time.

That's also along the lines of what I posted before I replied to you. He probably wanted more time, and Disney said no, you have to work with what you got.

Clearly it won't be a 'Brother' you patriarchic swine, and 'Voodoo' is a racially insensitive moniker so the character will be turned into the feminist twitter approved version Sister Magic.

Sorry if you liked it. I didn't. lol

I could tell by it tying in with WandaVision which seems like a House of M adaptation it was going to be an Avengers light movie like Civil War. Surprised Derrickson was the last to know.

If any of you have been to an Italian Thanksgiving, in terms of time, it's only like 12 PM

Sit down, watch some football, and go get your uncle another beer

My bad, how could I be so insensitive. That is not the Marvel way

lets not forget wanda vision got moved up. which changed his direction most likely.
he probably didnt want as much wanda as disney.

i doubt he was the last to know. going by the posts here he knew but couldnt make it work in his mind
