It\u2019s time for one of my favorite things in this business we call show: the troubled movie post-mortem! Often, whenever there\u2019s a high-profile film\u00a0that has a messy production history, the release of said film comes accompanied by a break-down of \u201cwhat went wrong.\u201d It happ<\/a>ened with\u00a0Suicide Squad<\/em>. It happened with\u00a0The Mummy<\/em> starring Tom Cruise. And now it\u2019s happening with\u00a0The New Mutants<\/em><\/strong>. The Josh Boone<\/strong>-directed\u00a0X-Men<\/em> spin-off has had its release date shuffled around more times than we can count, and as the movie finally opens in select theaters this weekend, stories are starting to flood in about what went on behind-the-scenes.<\/p>\n

There are two big\u00a0New Mutants<\/em> behind-the-scenes reports to pull from at the moment. One is in Vulture, the other in EW, and they kind of contradict each other here and there. But the bottom line seems to be that the pre-Disney-owned Fox didn\u2019t really know what to make of the film, and after the Disney purchase, no one really cared that much to deal with it.<\/p>\n

Per the Vulture report, Fox was so disappointed with what Josh Boone had delivered that there was talk of reshooting the entire movie from scratch:<\/p>\n

In postproduction, a studio executive noted that a total do-over would not necessarily be a financial wipeout given the film\u2019s relatively bargain budget. \u201cYou could throw the movie out, start over, and it would still be the least expensive X-Men movie so far,\u201d the sources recall a high-ranking Fox executive claiming.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Rumors of massive reshoots have been swirling around\u00a0New Mutants<\/em> for years now, although by all accounts, they never actually happened. It\u2019s clear that someone, somewhere, wanted<\/em> big reshoots. But according to Josh Boone and his cast, the film hitting theaters now is more or less Boone\u2019s original cut. The Disney-Fox merger is likely the reason the reshoots never actually happened \u2013 after the House of Mouse purchased Fox, there was very little interest in dropping even more money on\u00a0New Mutants<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Vulture report also has some early story details, including the reveal that the original script featured\u00a0X-Men<\/em> member Storm, and that she acted as a \u201csadistic jailer\u201d to the teen mutant characters at the center of the film. The EW report, however, contradicts this. EW got their hands on an early draft from 2015, stating that it was originally more of a direct spin-off of\u00a0X-Men: Apocalypse<\/em>. It was set in the 1980s, and featured \u201ccharacters like Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), Hank\/Beast (Nicholas Hoult), and Ororo\/Storm (Alexandra Shipp).\u201d In this version of the script, Storm has a pretty big role in the story. She\u2019s still \u201cstruggling with PTSD from her days as a Horseman of Apocalypse and the loss of her powers.\u201d She also \u201cstumbles upon the remains of a Native American reservation in the opening scenes and discovers Dani\u00a0[a main character played by\u00a0Blu Hunt<\/strong> in the finished film] as the only survivor, thus segueing into the main Demon Bear inspiration for the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

But EW adds that \u201creports suggesting that the script depicted Ororo as a sadistic jailer to the five teens do not match\u201d the early versions of the script in their possession. Instead, Storm is appointed \u201ccaretaker of a school for new mutants set up at a rundown, abandoned hospital, complete with makeshift Danger Room made from X-Men hand-me-downs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Somewhere along the line, however, Fox cut the budget for\u00a0New Mutants<\/em> in half. This budget cut lead to a script overhaul, relocating the movie \u201cto a mysterious medical facility\u201d and nixing many special effects sequences that would\u2019ve been too pricey. This rewrite also removed the direct\u00a0X-Men<\/em> connections, with Storm being swapped out for\u00a0Cecilia Reyes, a doctor character played by\u00a0Alice Braga<\/strong> in the finished film.<\/p>\n

As far as behind-the-scenes shenanigans go, the\u00a0New Mutants<\/em> story isn\u2019t that<\/em> disastrous. It just sounds like the studio more or less gave up on the film. They didn\u2019t like the cut Boone delivered, wanted reshoots, but never got around to implementing them. And now, the flick is ready to find its way to select theaters. Boone and company had hoped this would be the start of a new trilogy, but obviously, that\u2019s not happening. We\u2019ll have to just make do with what we have now. And then maybe forget about it entirely.<\/p>\n
