The Cabin in the Woods wrapped filming in May 2009. It didn't release in theaters until April 2012. It was held back as MGM was the distributor but it was going through financial problems. It was later sold to Lionsgate.

It's a white saviour movie.
White man comes in and shows indigenous people how to play a sport and teaches them to "believe in them selve"
We've seen these type of movies many time

A Thousand Words with Eddie Murphy was shot in 2008 and shelved until 2012. It was also terrible on many levels, which was why it was shelved, but still..

Avatar 2 & 3 started filming in 2017 with release dates in 2022 and (planned) 2024. Avatar 4 was also partially filmed in 2017/2018 with a planned release date in 2026.

This loosely fits that category. Boyhood was shot over a period of ten+ years. They wanted the kid that played the main role to age throughout the film instead of just using an older actor.

The Red Dawn remake I believe sat around for a few years. It was supposed to be a quick turnaround but didn't get release for like 3ish years
I know Fanboys was delayed as well, but I don't think it was delayed that long, it did however basically get =recut into a fairly different movie
MRmandato t1_j15awip wrote
I mean, being based on a true story does not stop a fictionalized version from being a white savior story, ie Disneys Pochahantas stories are problematic and The Blind Side.
Revolutionary_Box569 t1_j15bk8e wrote
Yeah it doesn’t tend to be a good sign, other than Top Gun which was largely due to covid anyway it’s hard to think of examples of movies that have had that and not been clusterfucks (I think Terence Malick takes a long time editing his movies and most of them are good)

Trick 'r Treat was supposed to hit theaters in 2007 but ended up going straight to video in 2009.
Fantastic_Deer_3772 t1_j15e7ch wrote
True, but this is based on a documentary that had approval from the team (they'd turned others down) and its directed by a polynesian guy.
The blind side is still based on a white guys book, and the Disney were more racist daydreamers.
I could be being too hopeful but I'm not writing it off without watching. If I'm wrong I'll be wrong.

I was so confused for so long by that movie because I read that Hemsworths performance in it was the reason he got cast as Thor, but the movie came out a year after Thor. It wasn't until I did more digging that I understood where the confusion was coming from.

hatramroany t1_j15kp7q wrote
It is a touch early from a more traditional October date but as the article points out the date likely points to a TIFF (or maybe Venice Film Festival) debut which is a big launching point for awards season
stracki t1_j15kz1b wrote
Prime Oscar spot would be more like November/December. But at least that's after TIFF, so I guess it will premiere there.
hatramroany t1_j15mf5j wrote
You mean October/November. Since 2005 (excluding the 2020/21 covid Oscars) the only Best Picture winner released in December was The Shape of Water which came out commercially on December 1st but debuted in August at the Venice International Film Festival and had industry screenings throughout September, October, and November. December is far too late to release a movie for serious awards contention anymore.

tetoffens t1_j15opjh wrote
It's a different kind of example but The Other Side of the Wind by Orson Welles began filming in 1970. It only released in 2018, so 48 years. Welles never made a complete cut but he did edit quite a bit of it together and the rest was compiled together from the 96 total hours of footage Welles left behind, with his notes and some creativity. A few simple things were added but it's still 99% footage Welles shot in the 70s.
It's a very weird and experimental film, really cool cast, and I'm not sure if it is good or bad but the history of it made it worth watching. There's also a good documentary about the production, They'll Love Me When I'm Dead.

Everyone forgets Red Dawn! Filmed right BETWEEN Cabin and Thor. I only remember it for this one scene where Josh Peck shoots a window out and jumps a whole story landing on the ground like nothing and keeps running but the rest was meh.
Still, Red Dawn was filmed also before Thor but came out AFTER Cabin in the Woods and Thor. Weird releases at the time

It’s pretty funny to me that they wanted to avoid having the kids age too much… but Kiri is played by Sigourney Weaver in her 70s. Though I suppose Jack Champion being live action makes it tricky, as does their voices going through puberty.

I’m sure a directors cut would be on par, but I’m sorry I just personally did not like L&T even close to how much I liked Ragnorok. In fact I would almost say I don’t care for L&T and wouldn’t watch it again. Pretty much the consensus with everyone I went to see it with and most people I’ve heard from online

Isn't September usually indie season and a minor dump month? Granted, it's not as bad as January-Feburary, but most low budget movies usually get thrown there while Oscar-worthy indies are released just before horror season in October.

Did doing the show and going through these experiences focused on longevity change the way you plan your own future?
One hundred percent. I'm just at the point of my life where I'm meeting with different directors and [people say] “Oh yeah, look, he's a mad genius. He's mad, but he's a genius and he'll make great films.” I'm like, “Is that who I want to spend my days with?” Four months, five months of shooting and then you've got press and possible reshoots and so on.

The most egregious example I know of where there was active development the entire time was Kenneth Lonergan’s Margaret. It began shooting in 2005 and was finally released in 2011. It was originally supposed to release in 2007. There are four separate edits, one of which was overseen by Martin Scorsese. I remember critics remarking over just how much younger some of the cast members looked, Matt Damon specifically.
FxHVivious t1_j17clt1 wrote
Love and Thunder was not good, and it's def the worst thing Waititi's done, but it doesn't even begin to compare to WW84. I can't even remember the last movie I saw that was as bad as that dumbster fire.

Yeah everything I’ve seen is that he got along with Taika great on the day to day, the Love and Thunder production looks like it was a lot of fun for most of the cast and crew (especially since their kids got to come along and take part in it) possibly to the detriment of the movie.
Hemsworth is explicitly talking about directors who make “masterpieces” but are difficult to deal with day to day. Which seems like the opposite of Love and Thunder.

On the recasting: Can they go back in time and replace Will Arnett in every Arnold Hammerstein role? Even the dramatic ones. The thought of Call Me Be Your Name but with Will Arnett’s voice?
BillFireCrotchWalton t1_j17qxrc wrote
It's so weird how it's this talking point now that Taika is washed up because of Thor 4. It's definitely the worst thing he has ever made, but there are legendary filmmakers who have had bigger duds. 99.9% of filmmakers have had multiple films worse than Thor 4.
FxHVivious t1_j17rltr wrote
Agreed. Everyone who's ever made a movie has at least one bad one. It's stupid to suddenly assume he's a hack because he had one kinda crappy movie.
Same for Patty Jenkins frankly. She doesn't have as many wins in her column as Waititi, and WW84 was way worse, but she could knock it out of the park on her next project.

It's what you get when you attach yourself to the disney/marvel brand where seemingly everything they put out ends in some kind of culture war that keeps the name of the movie in everyone's mouth for so long after release. Everything is either the best or the worst, underrated or overrated, everyone us washed up or a rising star.
It's why I find the Eternals so fascinating because, to this day, it's one of the only high profile Marvel/Disney movies that people reacted to like "yep, that was a movie" and then there was no discourse. It was refreshing. I miss it.

I think I'm in the minority of people who see Love and Thunder as a critique and parody of Marvel films. It's not that I want to say Taiki was a supreme genius in doing so, but rather that he is disillusioned with the whole thing. When you can bang Rita Ora and Tessa Thompson at the same time, why does making Marvel movies seem important?
