Universal came into conflict with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert during the arduous post-production of "Darkman" (1990), which saw extensive editing and poor preview scores. Initial cuts of the movie by editor David Stiven performed poorly. Stiven was so befuddled that he wanted to cut 'Darkman' into a romance...

“Darkman” is brutal, but worth a watch… especially if you’re a Raimi fan!

online people think studio filmmaking is like a painter applying delicate brush strokes to a canvas. more like that painter is thrown into the back of a Uhaul with a dozen farm animals and must paint a masterpiece in 30 mins while they're driving down a bumpy offroad trail.

Haven't seen it since it came out, but I remember it as an entertainingly over-the-top comic-book movie.

Also the main villain was up to that point known for playing a retard on Law and Order

That was back in the days when I went to see pretty much every film released. I had no particular expectations but liked it quite a bit.

Not a perfect movie, but it had its moments. The villain who was supposed to be terrifying looked like a dork who got wedgies before he was stuffed in a locker in high school.

I didn’t know this. I thought the film was great and amazing. Also, I doubt Rami is ima position anymore to not approve an edit of his films

So did Rami like the final cut even though he didn't have approval?

Frances McDormand on working with Sam Raimi in "Darkman" (1990) & whether she played her character in the right way: "When Sam Raimi got 'Darkman' (1990), he had been criticized for his female characters in the Evil Dead movies, and probably rightfully so. And I think one of the things he was trying to say with the character of Julie was to show he could write a strong female character. But, in retrospect, I felt like I probably should not have tried to play Julie as a strong female character because at the end of the day, she still was the damsel in distress, waiting for the hero to come save her. I could have done a better job if I’d surrendered to that. I think saying “creative differences” makes it more grandiose for you rather than for us. I struggled against working in a way that I had never been trained to do. I was trained to be a theater actress. I was struggling with technically how to make movies. So it was an adjustment for me to figure out my purpose inside Sam’s technical world of making a movie. There were times when he thought we could be steamrolled and then pop right back up, like a cartoon character. I chafed against that a lot, but I learned a lot, too." ("‘Darkman’ Turns 30: Liam Neeson, Frances McDormand and More Remember the Arduous Making of Sam Raimi’s Influential Superhero Film", Ryan Parker, The Hollywood Reporter, 2020) P.S: Happy 69th birthday, Frances McDormand!

Mirage was the new human-buddy lead in #Transformers ROTB. The studio wanted a character other than Bumblebee to have that role and be in the spotlight with Optimus Prime. He was designed to look "handsome" and to be sporty. He was the only character in the film with more than 1 alternate form. He had a total of 4 that we built in 3D (1 of which was cut from the film) and 1 that was only in live action (the garbage truck). I served as the asset Lead and did the Primary Texturing & Look Development for him. I also modelled and designed his eyes, upgrading them from what we had originally in the concept and ref. We spent a lot of time getting his car paint to look correct in shots, matching closely to on set reference pictures of the Porsche. At the end of the film, Mirage gives up his life and becomes the Exo-suit for Noah. The suit was built separately, using the same tooling and systems as Mirage to ensure visual continuity between them for the transformation from Mirage to Noah Exo-suit. He was voice acted by Pete Davidson, a change which was made later in production. The animators tried to introduce some of Pete's mannerisms into Mirage's animations too. Overall he was a character which was a lot of fun to work on and I'm proud of the work the team did to get him to look the way he does in the final film. CREDITS Primary Modelling by Lilian Robert. Final Texturing & LookDev by Martin Kamminga. Various other artists supported the creation of Mirage and the Exo-suit. The Exo-suit and Mirage were sent to WetaFX for the final sequence. Video by Paramount, MPC, and WetaFX.

Stratosphere was our biggest and heaviest character on #Transformers ROTB. He was a real challenge to deal with on the Modeling, Texturing, and Rendering side. He had 1434 UDIMs due to his immense scale and was made up of tens of thousands of objects. His level of detail was truly something else. His vehicle form was also a behemoth. We had also built a mortar for his robot form and a cannon for his vehicle form but neither of these made it into the film as his part in the final battle was cut out. He was originally supposed to help out in the final battle, using both of these weapons against the Sweepers and Predacons. The decision to cut him from the final act came very late as all of his assets were final at that point. We were never told the reason why his role was cut from the film. I had to re-design my texturing system in Mari when working on him to ensure that it could handle such a complex and large character. I had to simplify a lot of the procedural systems and even had to branch off some of them into their own files to ensure that artists could work with somewhat decent performance. We ran into a lot of issues pushing him through our pipeline, both as a model as well as rendering him due to the sheer amount of objects and textures that had to be processed. For shots, it was requested by Lighting that we reduce his memory footprint as Google had complained he was taking up too much memory and their I/O for rendering on the cloud was being affected. The leadership team and I decided that the best way to do this was to half the texel density on the parts that wouldn't be visible in our approved shots and to also half the resolution of the textures in the parts not visible to camera. This allowed us to optimize his memory footprint both in shots as well as storage and I/O. It was massive technical undertaking working on Stratosphere, so much so that we had to delay getting him into shots as we simply couldn't push him through with our normal tooling. I really enjoyed the challenge that he posed for us as a team.

Luke Greenfield on why "The Girl Next Door" (2004) failed at the Box Office: "The Studio executives were expecting something the realm of 'American Pie' (1999) didn't know how to explain to them that it was going to be a lot more real and a lot more edgy and a lot more volatile and unpredictable. I kept saying that, and I don't think they understood it until they saw my director's cut." Greenfield's director's cut was met with mixed reactions from executives because of its adu!t content and dangerous situations. When they got to scenes such as Timothy Olyphant beating the sh!t out of Emile Hirsch and bloodying his face, I remember one of the studio people saying, 'Okay, this is f**king not 'American Pie'. We were really lucky [with the test audience]. We tested the director's cut, and it tested enormously high. So high, in fact, that hardly any changes were made. Arnon Milchon [the head of New Regency] and Tom Rothman, they were literally telling me it was a guaranteed hit. The movie was going to make so much money that it was going to be Arnon Milchon's next 'Pretty Woman' (1990). It was going to hit every demographic. Everyone was talking such an enormous game. Our movie, there was such a challenge, because we're at 20th Century Fox, which at the time was a very conservative studio. The idea that they had to go out there and sell an R-rated movie about teenagers and about a kid falling in love with a p0rn star? They tried. They spent money. They didn't know how to do it. I got in there and I was trying to cut trailers too. We had worked with some of the best trailer editors. In the end, what's really funny is that -- everyone knows this, no one is at fault -- the marketing destroyed the movie. Two weeks prior to coming out, we were tracking that the people who wanted to see the movie were 14 year old girls, The young males, 18 to 30, wanted nothing to do with the film. They thought it looked cheesy and stupid. Never in a million years were they going to see it. I cannot say I was not disappointed when the movie came out. It was a big marketing challenge and they couldn't reach that audience." ("The Juice Was Worth The Squeeze: Looking Back On 'The Girl Next Door'", Christopher Rosen, Huff Post, 2014)
