Plot[edit]

Why was the plot deleted? I read it yesterday and it was complete, so why delete it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drumerwritter (talk • contribs) 18:51, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

development[edit]

Deathawk, if you take out that paragraph, then there's nowhere in the entire article that discusses the return of the director or most of the principal cast—how does it make sense to exclude that information? You say it's announced elsewhere... where? I don't see mention of that anywhere else in the article, other than the lead, and the lead is supposed to summarize the article, not include information in and of itself.

Discussing and sourcing the principal contributors to a film is a key component of a production/development section, as per MOS:FILM:

development: development of the concept and script, as well as the securing of financing and producers

pre-production: recruitment of the most important artists (cast and crew) and shooting preparations

[my emphasis]

I'm at a loss for how this shouldn't be included. —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:46, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Joeyconnick The MOS is talking about how they are recruited not the announcement that they've been recruited. The MOS also says above the part that you quoted

Focus on information about how plot elements or settings were decided and realized, rather than simply repetitively listing their dates. Add detail about how the actors were found and what creative choices were made during casting, only including the casting date (month and year is normally sufficient) where it is notably relevant to the overall production history.

Furthermore the announcement happened the same month filming begun, meaning that the cast was almost certainly chosen before that and the announcement gives very little insight to the production process. If we are trying to present things from a production point of view as opposed to an audience one than there is little reason to include the paragraph.

As for how to continue, I don't know. If you really want to hatch this thing out you could look into some interviews with the cast or director and try to find the story there. Personally I think the production section looks fine right now though. Unless there is a great turn over in the cast between the original and sequel, I'm not sure there is a need to explain how they reformed, as it seems like a foregone conclusion. --Deathawk (talk) 08:38, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
