It did look expensive on screen, but $250 million?! I think they could have spent much less without seriously affecting the things that mattered most. A visual downgrade wouldn’t have stopped us from enjoying it.
- laidoffamazon 1y agoI might be wrong but my assumption is a big part of costs was a substantial retooling of the plot. Originally it has America Fererra as Elios mother, who was replaced with Zoe Saldana only last August (??). Additionally the first trailer seems to indicate an entirely different plot than the one in the finished product
