"Aaron, Chloë, what I need you to do for this scene is head to the next studio over and rough up Chris Nolan for ruining my next movie's action scenes. Would you do that for me, please?"
Ouch, 12-pages. They say that each page of a script represents approximately a minute of on-screen dialog, so that could mean a whole 12-minutes of the film was vaporized with nothing yet to fill the void. Vaughn and his crack team of writers--six in total now, including frequent collaborator Jane Goldman--are no doubt frantically scrambling to patch that gap, especially since principal photography is scheduled to begin in only a few weeks. A humble suggestion, if I may: if you're in a lurch, Mr. Vaughn, I'm sure the very creative writers over at FanFiction.net wouldn't mind tossing in their two-cents. Just an idea.I saw Inception, which I loved...But my heart sank when I saw that a few of the ideas we had were up [on the screen]. So it's either leave it in and look as if you're copying or change things. We completely ripped out about 12 pages of the script and the storyboards.
and all of them had been done before...
I am really not sure why he is bothering to rewrite it, the film touched on subjects that have been dealt with in one way or another many times before...
Case in point:
I have always said that Waterson is my personal belief system!
Or maybe they were gonna have all the X-Men dress in really nice suits. Which would be fucking excellent.
Better it happens now than during actual filming where its even more costly to re-shoot and more likely to just leave it in the film. Still, he should leave it in, its not going to be exactly the same as Inception's sequence.
Meh
I think it's a good move they removed it, judging by this. A zero gravity fight in a dream-space cuts far too close to Inception for people to think it's copied.
