The vast majority of major studio films are edited and re-edited right up to the eleventh hour, but for some inexplicable reason, only high profile genre films get so much hand-wringing press coverage over it. I'm not arguing that this film will end up being a classic, but a large number of truly great films were tweaked, re-worked, and even fully overhauled in the weeks leading up to their releases in order to make them better. In this age of Director's Cuts and fanboy fury, we labor under the gross misconception that unless a movie perfectly conforms to the artist's vision on the first edit, it is either a watered down product of studio tampering or a misguided mess. The fact is that a movie is still a work in progress until the moment the first frame plays for a paying audience, and it is wholly unfair to the people working on it to assume that it will be a commercial or artistic failure simply because that work is still going on nearly three months (let me reiterate - MONTHS) before it's scheduled to hit theaters. With all due respect to our fearless editor and the rest of the staff, if you know anything about the filmmaking process, you know that "last minute" edits are hardly proof that a movie is in trouble.
