He can't get over what a flop THE ISLAND was. He even blamed Scarlette Johansson and Ewen Mcgregor for it being a bomd. And you should add the chase scene from BADBOYS 2. Its not the same scene, but the same stunts.
At the end of the day, does it matter that he used these scenes? Nope, not in the slightest. If it was cheaper to reuse a piece of footage and then add in a giant evil robot in post, then that's what you do. LOTS of movies and TV shows in this genre reuse shots. Trek. Who. Smallville. etc, etc. It doesn't ruin the narrative.
WOW!
Dale, unless you have ironclad proof that everyone who worked on those re-used shots got extra compensation and got full acknowledgement in the credits, I wholeheartedly disagree with your evaluation. It's a fucking insult to each of the hardworking cameramen, grips, stuntmen, stunt coordinators & myriad of other semianonymous on-set workers who worked their asses off for a cheap-ass multimillionaire hack director. So, in one sense, normal business in the Corporate States of America (West Coast Division).
Amusingly phrased, but you'd need to have access to the relevant contracts to show that there's no clause for their work being reused and/or reshown, or that they didn't receive anything for the footage being altered and used. The burden of proof would lay with those making the accusation.
Thanks for the compliment, for I take it as such.
However, I was refuting your statement "does it matter that he used these scenes? Nope, not in the slightest." By assigning me any burden of proof, you've already admitted the possibility that it may indeed matter.
I then went on further to describe that the choice to circumvent or diminish the paying of those hardworking folks is a shame. It also deflates the argument for those of us who believe in film as a genre is capable of far more than the Almighty Bottom Dollar. While something can be said of the creation of art in the face of adversity, I refuse to believe that cheaply recycling film components is an acceptable alternative. And I'll make that exact same argument when Footloose, The Thing & Fright Night come out in a few months.
