Josh Boone Says THE NEW MUTANTS Is a F***ed Up Movie, But It Will Make You Cry; Plus We Have New Photos
Director Josh Boone had some interesting things to say about his upcoming Marvel film The New Mutants. It turns out that when he was making the movie, Fox initially gave him a lot of freedom to make the movie wanted to make. At a recent press event he said:
"It’s funny, [the studio] so emboldened by Deadpool and Logan and stuff that they really let us… I can’t believe they’re letting us make this movie.”
He went on to explain the reason he felt like that is because the movie is fucked up. But he also wanted the story to grab your heart and make audiences cry:
"If you knew all the stuff in it, I still am like, ‘Do they know how fucked up this movie is?’ It is, but we’re trying to make something that would make you scream just as much as it’ll grab your heart and make you cry. Truly, I’ve shown a couple of scenes to people where everybody who saw them cried and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to make people cry.’ So be excited, because that would be something that hadn’t been done before, I think, for most horror movies."
Well, that’s an exciting statement, and I can’t wait to see if Boone is actually really able to pull this off with audiences. Boone has said several times already that the film Disney and Marvel are going to release is the cut of the film that he always intended to make.
The film is described as an “original horror thriller set in an isolated hospital where a group of young mutants is being held for psychiatric monitoring. When strange occurrences begin to take place, both their new mutant abilities and their friendships will be tested as they battle to try and make it out alive.”
The story is set in a facility that takes the mutant’s greatest fear and makes them live through it until it kills them.
The New Mutants is scheduled to be released in theaters on April 3rd, 2020. What do you think about these recent statements from Boone?
