Fox delayed the release of
Dark Phoenixon multiple occasions and a combination of that and extensive reshoots made it clear early on that there were some serious problems with Simon Kinberg's movie.
Well, while we're bound to hear more about those issues in the coming weeks, cast members Sophie Turner and Jessica Chastain have now revealed that the writer and director was constantly rewriting the screenplay, something which doesn't exactly bode well for any big budget blockbuster
Simon and I would sit down for two hours every day and just comb through each page of the script,"Turner revealed, adding that
"there was rewriting being done all the time." Why an actress with no history of writing movies would be invovled in that respect is hard to say and Chastain added that Kinberg would even go home and continue making changes.
"You could have a conversation and something comes from that and then the next morning, Simon would show up to work and say, 'hey, I wrote some pages that I think could be interesting for this direction we’re going.'"
. It felt like half a movie...like more of a build up to something grander...and I didn't feel any urgency about the situation.
they're directly from Grant Morrisons run....
