Riz Ahmed (Bodhi Rook) has revealed that the reshoots for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story have been completed.
The reshoots were surrounded by speculation when they were announced a few months ago with rumours indicating a bad situation going on behind the scenes. Subsequent reports later revealed that the reports were exaggerated and the reshoots (which took place last month) had been planned for a long time.
Ahmed had been asked by Yahoo about the reshoots in an interview. The conversation went as follows:
Yahoo: So how are the Rogue One reshoots coming on?
Ahmed: Yeah, they were great. But we’re all finished up on them now.
Yahoo: There’s been a lot of talk about them in the press. What’s been your take on this?
Ahmed: There’s been so much speculation, but it’s just because people care so much about Star Wars. Reshoots are par for the course on any film. For me, I kind of love it because, as an actor, you always feel that there was a way you could have done it differently. Being able to go back and do some stuff again is always a blessing in my eyes.
Tony Gilroy (the Bourne series) is said to be playing a large role in the post production of the film. Gilroy was originally hired for the reshoots to “offer notes on the first cut and write some additional material to enhance the story”. His role in the post production “is said to be “supervising” the edit with input from (director Gareth Edwards)”.
The report makes it clear that there’s no tension behind the scenes and that there is still a collaborative atmosphere. According to the source behind The Hollywood Reporter’s report, “There are not two separate editing rooms; they are all in there with their ideas. Tony’s a strong force, but they’re all working together.”
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is scheduled for release on December 16th, 2016.
