Re: [scifinoir2] Re: new movie: Solomon Kane
You were probably watching a late edit but not the final edit. They do different edits to test how the scenes flow together sometimes to see if it gives the audience the right vibe etc. On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 7:15 AM, B Smith daikaij...@yahoo.com wrote: Test audiences can be a bane or a boon. I was in a test audience for Jacob's Ladder and the projectionist was off his game so boom mikes, etc. were still visible in the rough cut and it took the audience out of the movie. I finally watched the finished movie years later and liked it. It was like watching a different film. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Mr. Worf hellomahog...@... wrote: I think Hollywood has been using test audiences too much lately.

The Solomon Kane movie has been finished for well over a year and last I heard, it still hasn't found a US distributor. Make of that as you will.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: new movie: Solomon Kane
I think Hollywood has been using test audiences too much lately. It allows them to change the movie too much, but it is a tool they have been using since the beginning. Audiences tend to react very differently. For example, the first time that I went to see Pulp Fiction people were laughing at the dialog. The second time I went on a date to see it the audience was totally silent and my date fell asleep.
