John Moore, the director of Behind Enemy Lines and Max Payne, finally got to realize his big dream this year when he was able to direct a Die Hard movie, A Good Day To Die Hard. The fifth films in the long running series which has John McClane (Bruce Willis) traveling to Russia to help his wayward son Jack (Jai Courtney). Though not the strongest film in the franchise, it was still packed with enough action, explosions and badass moments to make it an enjoyable watch.
Last week, the film had a press day in Los Angeles and I was lucky enough to get a one-on-one interview with Moore to discuss the film. We talked about how he got the job, working with a new sound system on it, his sadness over the disappearance of film and much more.

The actor took on the role of Will, a scientist who unexpectedly mutates a gene in laboratory apes when trying to find a cure for Alzheimer's. Studio Fox's last-minute decision to save the character led to reshoots which extended the movie's post-production schedule. Franco had filmed a death scene for Will, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Speaking at the Visual Effects Society Production Summit in Beverly Hills on Saturday, 20th Century Fox's president of post-production Ted Gagliano revealed that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" had a different ending originally. Spoilers Ahead: The theatrical ending has James Franco apologizing to Caesar (Andy Serkis) for everything that has happened and tries to convince him to come home. Caesar replies: "Caesar is home." But originally, the script had Franco's character dying by the end of the film. The decision to change that took place during the last second, which resulted in Franco and Serkis flying in for some quick reshoots on July 4th. The film was set to hit theaters on August 5th, which ended up creating a massive issue for the post-production department that had to scramble to finish all the visual effects work. Gagliano didn't give a reason for the change, but many believe that...

"Blomkvist and Salander have an odd relationship." Daniel Craig seems to be putting the emotional core of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" a bit lightly in the excerpt from this month's Empire magazine cover story, but that relationship is exactly what the sexy photos released from the issue are highlighting.
From Craig's Blomkvist handcuffed to a chair, to Rooney Mara's Salander blowing cigarette smoke into his mouth, the newest images from the film are showing off director David Fincher's knack for sexy, sexy filmmaking. As if you had any doubts, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is looking much closer to Fincher's work on "Fight Club" than on last year's "The Social Network."

Usually when a high profile, tentpole film that has completed shooting decides that reshoots are needed late in the game, that doesn't bode well for the production. However, when you hear about a drastic change in the ending to Rupert Wyatt's surprisingly fantastic summer prequel Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the skepticism and worry about reshoots might not be so prevalent in the future. THR has an interesting story about how James Franco's character Will Rodman, the scientist who raised and eventually abandoned Caesar, originally had an entirely different fate before reshoots changed the ending a month before release. At a panel discussion during the Visual Effects Society Production Summit in Beverly Hills, Fox's president of post-production Ted Gagliano said that over the Fourth of July weekend this summer, James Franco flew from North Carolina to California to shoot the alternative goodbye to Caesar (Andy Serkis was on set,...

So here's where we get to play "What Should've Happened?" During the Visual Effects Society Production Summit over the weekend, 20th Century Fox post-production president Ted Gagliano revealed that, originally, James Franco's character died at the end of Rise of the Planet of the Apes during a final showdown in the woods. But only a month before release, they decided not to kill him off, and brought both Andy Serkis and Franco back into the studio for reshoots, leaving us with the somewhat happier ending you all saw in theaters. There was no reason given for why they all of a sudden changed the ending, though it may have had to do with both audience testing and the fact that early buzz could lead to more sequels, which meant they'd want to hold on...

During the Visual Effects Society summit over the weekend, Fox’s president of post-production Ted Gagliano revealed that their recent sci-fi hit "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" had a different ending in mind to what was originally shot.
Spoilers Ahead.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gagliano says the filmmakers originally thought James Franco’s character should die, then changed that decision.
Franco then spent a few hours shooting the alternative goodbye to the ape Caesar (Andy Serkis) over the July 4th weekend - just one month out from a wide international release.
Naturally this added more complications to an already challenging post-production schedule that was already laden with extensive visual effects work. He adds that "we are going to sell (the alternative clip) down the road” which means we'll likely see it on the disc release.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes turned out to be the surprise hit of the summer, blowing everyones expectations away, making over $400 million dollars world wide, and turning Rupert Wyatt into an A-list director. There's already been talk of a sequel, but nothing has been officially greenlit yet.
In a report over the weekend it was revealed that filmmakers originally wanted to kill off James Franco's character in the film. Fox’s president of post-production Ted Gagliano said that, "Franco flew from North Carolina to California over July 4th weekend to shoot an alternative goodbye with the ape Caesar (Andy Serkis). “We shot for three hours and (Franco) was back on the plane,” Gagliano recalled, adding that this change led to a challenging final weeks of what was originally a 41 week post schedule that involved extensive visual effects work.... we thought James Franco's character should die (in...

The Hollywood Reporter were at the Visual Effects Society Production Summit over the weekend, where Fox’s president of post-production, Ted Gagliano, revealed that Will Rodman, the human lead of the film, as played by James Franco, was only saved from death by reshoots that took place only a month before the film hit theaters. Gagliano explained that initially, director Rupert Wyatt and the scriptwriters planned for Rodman to die at the conclusion of the film’s final setpiece, but was reprieved at the last minute, with Franco and Andy Serkis being called back for reshoots over the Fourth of July weekend. The surprise hit of the summer, and in my opinion the best movie of the year so far, has one more surprise up it's furry sleeve. Instead of having Caesar and his army of apes just takeover the forest, and Will letting go of Caesar there was almost a darker ending.

Caroly Giardina at The Hollywood Reporter has a fascinating feature on the postproduction process for James Cameron's Avatar. Cameron's technical standards were so high that he wanted as many different versions of the film as possible, so that the film could be optimized for different types of settings. Add to that the already taxing process of producing the film in differing formats (i.e. 2D film, 2D digital, 3D, IMAX, etc.), plus the burden of an international day-and-date release, and you have a logistical nightmare. Fortunately, the folks at Fox were apparently able to pull it off without a hitch. Hit the jump for some interesting statistics and details about how Avatar got into your local multiplex.
