10 Recent Movies Where The Reshoots Were Obvious

10. Artemis Fowl

Artemis Fowl was ultimately sent straight to Disney+ last summer, a convenient fate which allowed Disney to use the pandemic to disguise the fact that they knew they had a surefire dud on their hands.

And it was clear as day to anyone who had been paying attention to the film's marketing, honestly.

Principal photography began in March 2018, and though the first teaser trailer was released in November of that year, the first full trailer didn't land until almost 18 months later in March 2020.

Only at this point, two years after shooting started, was it revealed that Colin Farrell had joined the cast as Artemis' father, making it abundantly clear that the actor had been added during reshoots in order to give the film some A-list pizazz.

Considering that Farrell ended up having a significant role, one can only imagine what the original state of the movie must've been without his or his character's involvement.

Fans certainly had plenty to complain about with so much being left out or changed from the beloved books, and watching the frantic, choppy, 95-minute final result, it's clear that Disney was desperately trying to place post-production band-aids on a project with gaping creative wounds.
