The moment you realize the movie you just made is a worthless piece if crap! 

 

They happen all the time for any number of reasons, most of the time it's just for scheduling.

 

Do you have anything better to do than constantly hate on a movie we've literally seen NOTHING of? So childish.

 

This. Reshoots are incredibly common, even standard as is the case with pickup shots.

 

Yet your reboot is going to be sucking balls

 

I’m hoping that Michael Bay is secretly handling the reshoots because everything I read about this movie screams “BORING!” Paramount needs to show something really exciting when the trailer drops.

 

Wtf please explain what you mean boring or else you're just asking for attention

 

Reshoots?...... goddammit.... that never a good sign....

 

What? No it' not if it' like a month before release then yea but we are months away it happen to deadpool 2 look how that turned out

 

So, is this just going to turn into "The John Cena movie with some yellow-bug-robot-thingy?"

Hopefully, Travis Knight will try and keep Bumblebee at the forefront, rather than Bay's way of just saying, "look, I got a strong male lead, a sexy hot female, and...this other guy!"

 

Thank you for this well thought out and constructive post.

We really value your input.

 

I’m going to assume you’re not familiar with Travis Knight’s work if you’re worried about that. This guy isn’t just on a completely different page than Bay, he’s in a completely different book.

 

Reshoots and reboots... two things these boards apparently don't understand.

 

I wonder if they'll have to digitally remove bumblebees mustache

 

Or ball gag.  

 

Actually at this point it's not really a bad sign either. Most movies undergo reshoots, in fact they almost always have to, near the tail end of principle photography.

it's when you hear about extensive reshoots months before release when there's already been trailers and advertisements that's cause for concern. At this point the movie logically shouldn't be anywhere near finished yet, so them doing reshoots (hopefully to lessen connections to the previous series) now is ideal.

Boring like the fact that it actually focuses on characters and their dynamics instead of mindless action?

Because we've heard very little about this movie except for one scene which by description alone has more sincerity in it than all five of Bay's movies put together.

 

That moment when a 12 year old tries to troll.

  Reshoots always happen in Hollywood nowadays.

Have you ever seen Kubo And The Two Strings? That is a Travis Knight movie, and even though I personally never saw it, I know it was highly successful and people very much enjoyed it.

 

I don't think the reshoots are a bad sign, but I don't think they're being done to change the movie into a reboot. Most (if not all) big movies do reshoots. A lot of the time it's just for simple things, like to film a scene from a different angle. In editing, maybe they realized they wanted John Cena's character to smile instead of frown at a certain moment. That sort of thing.

A couple movies have done extensive reshoots to change the entire ending, but we have no indication that's happening here.

 

I'll be happy if most of the Cons survive to the credits.
