Summer’s waning months produced a number of looks at the new live-action version of Disney’s Mulan. Now, there are reports that the film will be undergoing some pretty hefty reshoots as the filmmakers try to get everything in order before next March when the film is due out. The Dlnsider is reporting that four months of reshoots are coming starting this month. All of this should last through February which might sound pretty dire to some fans. Most modern movies undergo these types of reshoots now though. For example, Avengers: Endgame’s triumphant moment with Tony Stark didn’t even get shot and put into the film until very late in the game. Getting things right on the front-end will save the team a lot of headaches on the back-end.
Dlnsider is also saying that the reshoots are focused on significant battle sequences in the film. The sweeping momentum from the 1998 animated feature would be a little tricky to capture without some heavy lifting from visual effects. It does make sense that some of this time with the property would be devoted to figuring that whole business out. There might be a little more pressure on the film now that the other recent live-action Disney movies have really been a gigantic success for the company. The Lion King crushed in the first half of Summer and Aladdin continues to steadily rake in that cash as well.
