Film School Rejects: Thomas Jane Delivers a Mutant Chronicles Teaser Himself

    What Thomas Jane had ti say about the teaser
    Thomas Jane: “The teaser is very much an unfinished bag. Most of the shots are unfinished, and the 'look' is not finished either - it's basically taken from the editing program as is and given a minor treatment that is in the ball park of what the final film will look like.

    The CG effects are unfinished.

    The teaser was put together for the Cannes market, to sell to foreign buyers, and not really meant for public consumption. Foreign buyers are used to seeing less that commercial fare when they are at festivals - being that most films are put on the market before they have the marketing dollars for a professional trailer, hence the unfinished look of the film.

    That said the film still needs work before it's ready for theaters. That’s why we're doing the screening at Comicon - to drum up fan support and let buyers know they have a good film available. We need a final pass on the edit, drop about five minutes off the film and clean up the CG work, which is pretty crappy right now. Nothing a good editor and two million bucks won't cure!”
