I have been told that actually can save money by doing more practical effects.

High quality digital effects eat up a lot of money to produce.

Assuming this is true

TNT

That was all they were shown.

IrishBlue

11/24/15 9:10pm

Interesting. TNT figured execs would get to see the whole thing

TNT

11/24/15 9:11pm

He was surprised to see much of it at all, at least this early.

IrishBlue

TNT is still curious what the budget for the film was

TNT

11/24/15 9:14pm

Reportedly ~$200 million.

IrishBlue

11/24/15 9:16pm

Is that it? Most action films are around there

TNT

11/24/15 9:17pm

Why would it cost any more?

IrishBlue

11/24/15 9:21pm

Wanting to build all of the sets so they could have more practical effects

TNT

11/24/15 9:25pm

Maybe they could do that with that amount of money

Endings are where Abrams is weakest

People said Into Darkness was very predictable, and it was, but that doesn't

IrishBlue

The haters will immediately point to LOST.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

11/24/15 9:12pm

yes, but that is only one. didn't see Into Darkness.

Kerbouchard

11/24/15 9:14pm

I'm curious how much the ending of Lost was impacted by the ABC wanting to

IrishBlue

11/24/15 9:14pm

Lost is not comparable to a film anyway. they were literally making

Kerbouchard

11/24/15 9:16pm

Those people are just too dumb to understand what happened

11/24/15 9:14pm

I agree, I just wanted to point it out before any of them brought it up.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

11/24/15 9:18pm

Lol. It wasn't complex, it was just bad. Glad I bailed note show when I did.

messi

I'm fairly sure he wasn't even involved with lost anymore when the show ended.

It's true.

11/24/15 11:32pm

Again, I agree... Just trying to beat the haters to the punch.

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

11/24/15 10:59pm

Which weren't weak?

Gustav

11/24/15 9:42pm

Only super nerds will overanalyze every fine detail of the movie.
