This will only matter if the movie sucks. Everyone was up in arms about Norton too.

DaveyJoe

Well in case the movie does suck I'm documenting my righteous indignation now.

Well this bites, was really looking forward to see wrights vision. What is amazing is that wright has been attached to this for so long. I hope they still plan to do the 'caper' aspect. Bleh disappointing news.

Bigger question is if this is delayed, how does that work? With it's place in the timeline?

PenguinJoe

I don't care if Scott Pilgrim lost money, it was a great graphic novel adaptation and very true to the original book. I can watch it whenever it's on.

Matthew Chmiel

I am sure with everything in place and filming literally about to go underway, a director can just jump in and work with what he has. There may be some script changes, but nothing too major.

A perfect example of a similar situation is Saw 3D. Kevin Greutert was forced onto the film two weeks before shooting began.

I really do wonder who they got to replace Wright, they have to be announcing it soon.

GreenVulture

I thought it was more of a collective shrug after Norton got 86'd.

That makes a lot more sense than production problems. It also likely means Cornish isn't going to replace Wright.

And this also means this is now my least anticipated Marvel movie to date.

Umm... OK?

That pic of Whedon is funny.

Hokeyboy

How so? I didn't even know who that was...

He's eating Cornetto ice cream - Edgar Wright directed the so-called Cornetto trilogy... some DVD TALK LEGEND you are.

Weird that all that time and work still came down to script changes and adds 3 months or 6 weeks ago.

I still trust Marvel on this though, they've done such a great job on the entire MCU that I'd have to think things were really out there with Ant-Man to make the change.

Hokeyboy

To be fair, I'm not much of a Whedon nor ice cream fan. But I've seen every Wright movie multiple times. You good sir can go to the DICKENS!! :gasp: :shock: :woe:

Jules Winfield

You've seen every Wright film multiple times but don't know about Cornettos? Even if you don't know what Joss Whedon looks like, it could've been a pic of some stupid fanboy holding up a Cornetto and you should've made the Cornetto connection at least. They should call you Jokeyboy because you're a joke, boy!

Why So Blu?

Exactly. Edgar Wright fan my ass.

Solid Snake

So if that script bit is true. This will be different from what Wright has told us what his film was going for. In his Wright way.

Well... This film development dropped my interest by so much.

Hokeyboy

But...but I was a moderator at alt.nerd.obsessive...

This sounds to me like these are guys above Feige, and that both Feige and Whedon are both on Wright's side. That doesn't bode well. On top of it, this just happened:

Drew Goddard leaves Daredevil just after Wright leaves Ant-Man? I doubt he did it in solidarity. It's possible that the higher up muckity mucks are demanding changes that Phase 1/Phase 2 directors didn't have to deal with, and it worries me.

DaveyJoe

No need to panic, I think the history of comic books shows that the money men at the top can be trusted to make decisions in the best interest of storytelling.

Let's undo 20 years of Spider-Man history just because Joe Q hates Peter and MJ being married!! Whoohoo!!

Hopefully this isn't a sign of more future Disney interference in the Marvel films. It seems like to date they've been more of a silent voice within the films that have come out since they've owned the brand, but I'm wondering with the prospect of future Marvel characters that may be harder to market if they'll try to interfere more.
