    Isn’t this…SOP? Like, that’s one of the reasons James Gunn has specifically said he won’t do a movie unless there’s a finished script?

    I feel like they have basic ideas in place and a majority of the script but like to adapt based on new ideas or problems that they encounter while putting together their movies.

        Yes, thank you. I was thinking by about this exact thing when I wrote my comment so I appreciate you digging it up and posting it.

      In my uninformed opinion, it’s likely a part connecting Act 2 to Act 3 that they aren’t totally happy with and arr trying to either smooth out or replace.

        Standard operating procedure. They often leave scripts unfinished so they have ways to change things up as they see fit.

        See this reply to me for context.

        It’s either that or actors are only given specific parts of scripts that relate to their character and not the whole thing. It’s been talked about a lot.

      I see… People in colourful costumes, explosions…
      Brilliant! Call the actors, I’m getting a crew together. Oh, and see if you can find someone to flesh the script out a bit. We start filming on monday.
