Sounds like an actual shoot rather than a re-shoot.

I wonder if this could delay the movie.

l0rdleg0las - 4/5/2011, 9:05 PM
well 1 day of shooting. i don't see much to worry about. could just be a re-do of a scene that didn't look quite right, or an add-on cameo for an after credits clip

this would be different if it was several days on location where filming originally took place, but this isn't that big of a deal

I want to see cap frozen in ice.
I do not want to see an arctic capsule! LMAOIsnt the whole point of his journey to the precent supposed to be accidental????

WTF???

I suppose if you get right down to it Cap doesnt have to have his shield either right??? Gimme friggin break

THey are changing too much

The re-shoot will happen somewhere around the Simi Valley area, for us Valley people. They have plenty of explosives in place and some tanks and other war ensemble. They probably needed to add some big bangs to a scene.
ThreeBigTacos
ThreeBigTacos - 4/5/2011, 10:07 PM
@Jakeroo: yep they're changing too much, in the reshoots they're digitally altering his voice, making him sound like Barry White, and while they're at it they're making Bucky a female, to pull in the female audience. AND if that's not enough, Cap is fighting in the Civil War he's no longer in World War 2. Who do the filmmakers think they are changing too much?!

Did you complain that Iron Man's origins should of had him in Vietnam (If I'm correct) instead of Afghanistan?

Aren't re-shoots are always a bad sign for any movie, right?

luckylu - 4/5/2011, 11:11 PM
ya the capsule makes no sense. someone would have to build it for the sole purpose of someone getting frozen in ice which leads to the question of why the hell would they freeze their best soldier? also being so technologically advanced, wouldnt they put some sort of tracking device in it knowing they were gonna freeze him? So how does he get lost in time? another point would be that cap would end up being like 90 years old by the time they found him. its just easier to stick with the classic story

@darkmatter- ya i seriously doubt that cap would just be sitting on top of snow. think about it......

@Jakeroo @Luckylu-- what I'm hoping happens (in regard to the arctic-pod-thing) is that it's just a life-support system on the ship, which Cap manages to dive into before the crash, meaning he's still frozen through "accidental" means, but the capsule's life-support systems, along with the Super Soldier Serum keeps him alive.

Some of you people need to get a grip on reality lol. Darkmatter was making a point while joking. He's right. Cap frozen in ice doesn't even make sense. They have to make some of it believable. This aint Harry Potter or some shit where he magically is okay after being frozen in ice in zero degree temperatures and what have you. Actually, he woulda thawed out before then with global warming lol and drowned or got eaten by a Killer Whale by accident :P

@luckylu maybe its like Austin Powers. Austin froze himself so he can battle Dr Evil when he knew Dr Evil will return in the future and is the only one to fight and defeat him. Ergo Captain knew the Red Skull will be back.

@ThreeBigTacos you right.. if Iron Man followed the original comics he would have been in vietnam, he would also have been wearing a trench coat over his armour and carrying a big magnet as his main weapon... also he would have been a 60 year old man in the modern times.

Obviously sometimes changes have to be made, and when they are done for the better then there isnt a problem. Cap already has a good excuse for a being in the present so there would be no need to move him out of WW2 because its not a needed change.

Cap most likely will fall straight in the ocean, the idea of cryogenics is still in peoples minds and the super-soldier serum gives it enough plausability to allow it to work.

As long as its plausable most people wont over think it, and nor should we... the best we can hope for any of these movies is that its plausible/not-silly and is fun to watch

Orphix - 4/6/2011, 1:34 AM
Paulley @Though I agree with you I also except Darkmatters point that trying to make it plausible will be tough - even if he has taken the serum.

They will have to explain why he doesn't drown first (which can take only a few seconds) but freezes (which can take many minutes).

I am guessing we may see a sort of end-of-Titanic moment with him clutching onto something and then slipping into unconciousness and freezing before he slips beneath the water.

Or (even more likely) the plane/rocket thing he is in crashes into the icey water with him still inside. Trapped air keeps him from drowning long enough to freeze and cos he is inside the plane he is protected from being munched by hungry critters.

Darkmatter @ Living organisms can be frozen and then brought back to stable life...

...just ask my sperm!! :oP

don't care about re-shoots,as long as they make the film better.

they can re-shoot as much as they want.
Paulley
Paulley - 4/6/2011, 4:00 AM
Again people are over thinking it... if you have a guy with a red skull wearing a hugo weaving mask, a 4ft runt turned in to the peak of human perfection in a matter of seconds, same with two men becoming 10ft tall green monsters, a guy who builds a personal tank suit and a city of "god" aliens.. i think someone being frozen for a few decades then brought back to life isnt exactly pushing the envelop of believeabillity

Also how many times has this storyline been done in movies and tv shows!!! its a general accepted theme that general viewers wont question.
emeraldprince
emeraldprince - 4/6/2011, 4:20 AM
@paulley....FINALLY someone points out the obvious. Everyone complaining its not REALISTIC that the man be frozen for decades, but NO ONE questions the fact of a 10ft tall green monster running around, a woman shrinks herself to the size of a wasp, another controls thunder with a hammer and so on and so on lol
Orphix
Orphix - 4/6/2011, 4:23 AM
Paulley@ Absolutely. It always bugs me when people say Nick Fury can't be around Steve Rogers in WWII because intergrated units weren't around then?!?!

I mean - in the marvel universe - if that the biggest leap of faith your imagination has to take?? Some people...

And as for the cap being frozen thing a simple piece of forshadowing can solve most of the issues. Maybe the serum (thanks to Howard Stark) has to be kept in subzero conditions at all time before put into use. Some bit of technobable like that should keep most of the audience happy.

They're just tacking on the "after credits" scene.

NeoBaggins - 4/6/2011, 5:16 AM

Paulley Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. Out of all the unbelievable things going on, being frozen for years is crazy lol. I guess some people pick and choose when they want the movie to reflect the source material.

I've never known a movie (comic book or otherwise) to NOT have some pick-up shots or re-shoots yet people always panic.

I think some people on here are forgetting one major thing about the viability of Captain America being frozen. It's called he is a comic book character. The last I checked, this wasn't the biography of an actual WWII hero. Comic books are meant to bed/twist reality. Good lord people...this isn't a documentary of an actual event!
Bigbywolf
Bigbywolf - 4/6/2011, 6:32 AM
Personally, I do wish Captain America had a later release date so they could perfect the editing but if Marvel are confident, that they have given Joe Johnston enough time, then I have faith Captain America will be awesome.

To those of you who don't want to see Cap frozen in ice: Think about this. I don't care if Cap has "super soldier serum" or not in his body. The force from the impact from the fall off of the bomb would kill Cap in the "real" world when he hit the ground. Basic physics. Yet he survives somehow, thanks to the miracle of suspension of disbelief. If I can believe that Cap can survive that fall, I can also certainly believe that he was frozen in a block of ice as he lay there unconscious, comatose, or in 'suspended animation'. Why is Cap in a block of ice so impossibly farfetched, yet surviving a fall that would kill anyone not gifted with Wolverine's healing powers is not? Besides, a man frozen in a block of ice makes for a far more striking visual effect than someone in a big egg or egg-like thing. How the hell does a big egg get on top of the bomb? Does Cap say "Uh oh! This bomb is exploding! I'd better jump into that conveniently located escape pod right away!"? Have I made my point yet about how absolutely RIDICULOUS this whole change is?

Why not just leave well enough alone, and just come up with a fancy medical explanation for how Cap survives in the ice? Throwing around some big medical-sounding words and something about cyrogenics will sound 'real' enough to most people.

@Orphix funny u should say that,since thats exactly how it'll happen lol
oh & the after credits scene will b EPIC!!!

No where on that report does it say "RESHOOTS", they've always planned on doing some filming in LA. Either way, it's nothing to be concerned about, 1 day of shooting is not going to delay a film. I swear some of you just [female dog] to [female dog]?
capcyclopsftw
capcyclopsftw - 4/6/2011, 7:38 AM
And seriously this article has turned a crap discussion on how he gets "frozen" ... We've had zero confirmation on ANYTHING as to how he gets frozen. There was an article about egg shape and that's it! Yall are just coming up with things to [female dog] at with out any confirmation.

Dakjaniels - 4/6/2011, 7:41 AM
If I remember correctly from the comics, they never explained how cap survived being frozen, they chalked it up to an unexpected side effect of the serum. Which works fine, since they can't replicate it and no one but steve rogers was able to survive it.

It helps make the character unique, but honestly I think both versions would work fine.
