Varför spenderade Warner Bros 25 miljoner dollar till CGI ut Henry Cavills mustasch?

De skjuter Justice League utan Henry Cavil's mustasch, och efter skottet han loggade in på MI6, som krävde sin mustasch så blev han en mustasch.

Och det var då tragedin hände. Zack Snyder, rättvisa ligas direktör, steg ner på grund av en familje tragedi. Som svar tog Joss Whedon upp för att styra filmen och krävde också några återhämtningar ($ 25 miljoner värderade reshoots).

Paramount skulle tyvärr inte tillåta Cavill att raka mustaschen som han hade vuxit för Mission Impossible.

Så WB måste ta bort den i CGI. Se zimbio

På grund av sitt engagemang för Mission: Impossible 6, fick han inte göra det, från screenrant.com

Mission: Impossible 6 director Christopher McQuarrie reveals why Henry Cavill can’t shave his mustache for the current Justice League reshoots. In a film that marks the return of several beloved franchise cast members – including Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Michelle Monaghan, and more – Cavill is one of the most exciting new additions to the Mission: Impossible franchise. And while plot details for the film are being kept under tight wraps for the time being – rendering Cavill’s character in the film a complete mystery – McQuarrie and Cavill haven’t been afraid about teasing his time on set for the film over the past few months.

McQuarrie’s tweeted (now deleted) :

In exactly one year you’ll understand: The only way to keep a fake ‘stache on Henry Cavill would be a liberal dose of staples. #MI6 07.27.18

Att ha en Superman med mustasch skulle vara mycket riskabelt, särskilt när hälften av scenerna inte kommer att ha en mustasch, som inte återges. Och några reshoots används också i början av filmen.

Och det här är vad Henry Cavill sa på hans instgram :

Dear followers,
it is time to finally set the record straight in this moustache fiasco. Pictured above, is not a set on MI6 but is in fact the latest in a series of weapons being designed by Warner Bros and Paramount Studios to combat the entity known as "Henry Cavill's Moustache". There has been no discussion over whether to shave or not to shave for the JL reshoots, simply a relentless campaign to put an end to the seemingly inexorable conquest of this despotic 'stache. It is not a question of IF I should shave - it is a question of how can we possibly be victorious against such a beast without bringing our own doom raining down upon us.

Nyligen författare / regissör för Mission: Impossible - Fallout , talade Christopher McQuarrie om det:

"When the question came, the reshoots for Justice League came out, [Charles] Roven called me, and he said, 'We need your help and we need to shave Henry's mustache. We need him to come back and we need to do these reshoots.' And I said, 'Look, Chuck, naturally I want to do everything I can to help you, but I also have to think about our production. Let me talk to everybody and figure out what the scheduling would be.' And I went and spoke to [Mission: Impossible-Fallout producer] Jake Myers, and the suggestion was made through channels that we shave the mustache and Henry could begin to grow the mustache back and that then there would be, they would give us the resources to digitally fill in Henry's mustache. Because like it or not, a fake mustache in close-up on a 75mm lens is never going to look like anything but a fake mustache."

"So, we offered the following compromise: Jake Myers calculated the amount of money that it would take to replace the number of shots, and essentially what Jake was able to project was about a $3 million visual effects budget. We said, here's what we'll do: give us the $3 million and we'll shut down, and that will give Henry Cavill the time to grow his mustache back, and we'll just shut our movie down. We said we'll do this, at which point, somebody from Paramount Pictures said, 'What is going on? What are you people even talking about?' They're like, 'There's no way we're going to do that.' We were just like, 'Okay.' That was the best plan that we could come up with." - movieweb

Så det verkar att Paramount inte var redo att kompromissa här.

Han var avtalsenligt skyldig att hålla mustaschen och det var olyckligt att rättvisa ligan måste återupptas av Joss Whedon.

Jag citerar en nerdistartikel :

Cavill was also filming Mission Impossible 6 at the same time as reshoots and his character had facial hair. He was contractually obligated to keep said facial hair, so the mustache had to be very carefully removed by a series of digital artists for Justice League.
