Does the director need more time in the editing room in order to perfect his vision? "Maybe they're undergoing reshooting. Maybe they'd be better off in spring rather than winter. And maybe they're being dumped." (CNN) However we justify our answers, we can't feel too secure as we cautiously take our seat and hope that we haven't wasted our money. Enjoy the show!
