My understanding is that film companies tend to shoot the more complicated scenes first. It prevents anxiety within the group and ensures you have the team at peak energy, rather than at the end when people are burnt out. Sort of like getting those hard work tasks done early in the day so you’re not worrying about them.drumdude wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 1:45 pmA late release in the year is actually better for the Oscar potential.

We've done roughly 90% of the filming. Maybe more. But a big and complicated scene -- the opening scene, in fact -- remains to be done. We have it set up for late April. That will happen, for several specific reasons, in Tennessee.
Candidly, I always thought Summer 2024 was highly optimistic. Everything would have to go absolutely perfectly. I don't think that we'll be finished with it by then. We'll see, though. I would think late 2024 would be more reasonable. And, if it comes to that, we might opt for Spring 2025. Don't take any of this as written in stone, though.
Another area where we just keep maligning and mocking DP unjustly. We will surely be eating crow when this wins Best Picture and doesn’t go straight to home video and the local ward VHS library like many predicted.

Same question, can you watch that one somewhere at no charge?

Conversely, he has also said it’s NOT about the money, the intention was always for as many people to see it as possible. Which is odd, as making it freely available via You Tube would serve that purpose but alas, he hasn’t chosen to do that. Why not?

Over Phoebe’s right should there is a man wearing a sweatshirt and baseball cap. I guess we can all be thankful that he is not riding a lawnmower.
Man, I hope this scene makes the Final Cut.

I am informed by the film’s producer that the stray man will be brushed out of the scene during the “sweetening” stage of post-production.Everybody Wang Chung wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 11:22 pm

Everybody Wang Chung, is Six Days still set for release in late summer? The Relief Society sister in Parowan recently mentioned to me that the Little Old Lady from Pasadena Ward and many of the Relief Society sister’s other elderly friends residing outside of Utah have booked (nonrefundable) plane tickets to SLC in August to see the movie. They’re excited to see a faith-promoting “talkie.”

I can’t wait to see this in 4K Dolby Atmos 3D HFR with D-Box and HDR500. It’s going to blow audiences away!

The Executive Co-Producer is now saying publicly that he’s hoping to have it out in time for Christmas 2024, but October at the earliest.Tom wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 11:13 amI am informed by the film’s producer that the stray man will be brushed out of the scene during the “sweetening” stage of post-production.Everybody Wang Chung wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 11:22 pm

It’s remarkable how well groomed everyone was in 1800’s Mormondom.
