“Well, she read the script,” Taylor explains with a laugh. His girlfriend, Jane Wu, a storyboard artist he met while working on The Dark World, urged him to turn it down.
“I think my skill set may be different.”Ī few months before The Dark World was released, Taylor received an offer to direct another massive franchise picture and, once again, it seemed like a no-brainer: Terminator: Genisys. “I really admire the skill set of somebody who can go in with a very personal vision - like Taika Waititi or James Gunn - and manage to combine it with the big corporate demands,” he says. Taylor modestly suggested certain writer-directors (he is typically a director and producer) might have been able to turn around the beleaguered project. And there were major plot differences that were inverted in the cutting room and with additional photography - people who had died were not dead, people who had broken up were back together again. There was weird stuff going on back on Earth because of the convergence that allowed for some of these magical realism things. “The version I had started off with had more childlike wonder there was this imagery of children, which started the whole thing,” he says of the unseen “Taylor Cut.” “There was a slightly more magical quality. Instead, it looked like Taylor’s fault, and the director watched as the film changed radically during postproduction editing and reshoots. “It would have looked like it was my fault.” “I did not believe that I could make a good movie out of the script that they were planning on doing,” Jenkins said in 2020. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins was initially attached to the project but wisely bowed out. Some known factors in its creative troubles included a tight production deadline and a script that was seemingly never finished.
The Dark World is considered one of the MCU’s weakest entries, even if it was a box office success (drawing $644 million). “So I came in to ‘bring some Game of Thrones to it.’” “ Kevin Feige was always smart about looking at what worked and didn’t in the last iteration and trying to retool from that,” Taylor tells THR.
