\"JossWhedonAvengersSet\"<\/a>You’d think that Joss Whedon’s job as creative overseer of Marvel’s film output would be relatively easy. Sure, he’d have to work Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/strong>, but his involvement with the other films surely just dealt with making sure the all flowed together nicely, right?<\/p>\n

Apparently not, because his job all so requires him to fly out to sets an do last minute rewrites when scenes don’t work out during shooting.<\/p>\n

Thor: The Dark World<\/strong>‘s director Alan Taylor spoke with Britsh magazine SFX for their latest issue, and said that Whedon had to fly out to the London set to do a quick polish on several scenes from the film:<\/p>\n

“Joss came in to save our lives a couple of times,” laughs the director. “We had a major scene that was not working on the page at all in London, and he basically got airlifted in, like a SWAT team or something. He came down, rewrote the scene, and before he got back to his plane I sort of grabbed him and said, ‘And this scene and this scene?’ And he rewrote two other scenes that I thought had problems. Then finally we let go of him, he took off again, and we shot the scenes; and they were just much better and much lighter on their feet. Much more fun, much more surprising than what we had been trying to do. I can relate to guys who come out of the TV world, since that’s where I come from. And being able to land and work and solve a problem quickly… I really was grateful.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wonder what any of the films six writers who had weeks to write the film think of one man hopping off a plane for a few hours, doing a quick rewrite and making the film they spent all that time writing “much better.”<\/p>\n

We can play a rousing game of “Find the Whedonism” when Thor: The Dark World <\/strong>opens on November 8th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
