Report: 'New Mutants' Undergoing Reshoots To Amp Up the Horror

"The New Mutants," the all-teen X-Men spinoff, was supposedly finished, screened and given a big thumbs-up from test audiences.

But after "It" became such a massive hit, Fox executives decided to ditch the "John Hughes meets Stephen King" vibe and make the film straight-up horror. At least according to an "insider report" over at The Tracking Board.

Director Josh Boone originally announced, "We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe.... We're trying to do something very, very different." But then the studio reportedly demanded a PG-13 rating and less blood and gore.

After releasing a trailer that emphasized the scarier aspects of the film, Fox then reportedly decided to go "full horror" after all. That means extensive reshoots and a new release date: August 2019.

In other "New Mutants" rumors, Jon Hamm will no longer appear as Mr. Sinister in a post-credits tag. Instead, Antonio Banderas will be teased as a different villain.

"The New Mutants" -- which stars Maisie Williams ("Game of Thrones"), Anya Taylor-Joy ("The Witch") and Charlie Heaton ("Stranger Things"), and Henry Zaga ("13 Reasons Why") -- was originally going to be released in April 2018.

Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...
