Boone Compares Working on Fault in Our Stars to New Mutants

 

Josh Boone shared that directing The Fault in Our Stars is different from the film New Mutants as the two stories and genres are very different from each other. The Fault in Our Stars is a film about two teenagers who fell in love with a cancer support group, which New Mutants is the long-running Fox’s X-Men franchise film. The Fault in Our Stars was released in 2014, and the New Mutants released last month.

Josh Boone is an American director known for his projects like The Fault in Our Stars, which was based on the novel of the same name and released in 2014. He also directed the romantic comedy titled Stuck in Love in 2012, and his latest project is the superhero horror movie The New Mutants. Boone made his first debut film in 2012. He wrote and directed the romantic comedy Stuck in Love. The film premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and was released in the United States in 2013. Boone mostly received positive praise for the project. He won numerous awards and positive reviews for directing The Fault in Our Stars. In 2013, Boone announced that he is working on the adaptation of the novel Lisey’s Story, written by the horror king, Stephen King, but he dropped out of the project. He closed his deal with 20th Century Fox to direct and co-write the next sequel from X-Men franchise The New Mutants on 13 May 2015.

The New Mutants is an American horror movie in the superhero genre; it is based on the novel of the same name distributed by 20th Century studios. The movie is said to be the last installment of the franchise. The film’s casts were some good bunch of actors, including Anya Taylor, Maisie Williams, Charlie Heaton, Alice Braga, Henry Zaga, and Blu Hunt. The New Mutants released on 28 August 2020 in the United States. Although the film received mixed reviews from critics, some called it “so-so,” “middling,” while others gave it a “perfectly fine” tag. The plot revolves around Dani, who is a young Native American escaping the destruction during a tornado. Williams, her father, hides Dalli, and an unseen entity kills him. When Dalli wakes up in the hospital, Dr. Cecilia Reyes tells her that she is a mutant. And she is introduced to four other teenagers.

However, the film has faced a struggle for theatrical release from the beginning. The movie went through many reshuffling and rescheduling, and the original New Mutants screenplay is very different from the final draft. The reviewers were criticizing the delays and the inconsistent tone.

Recently, in an interview with BBC, director Josh Boone was asked about the experience of New Mutants in comparison to The Fault in Our Stars. To which Boone replied, “That was blessed circumstances, and this was like the opposite.” He expressed his disappointment as there were lots of bumps during the process. He also shared that the budget of the movie was also a significant issue in the production. Boone initially thought the New Mutants’ world would be interconnected with the X-Men, but the limited budget forced him to cut the dream film in half; he added the film was a learning process, and he will choose his next projects wisely.

New Mutants did not get much appreciation in the box office, but it will still be a treat to die-hard Marvel fans. The film has nothing interesting to serve as a whole, but the introduction sequence of the characters such as Cannonball, Magik, and Sunspot is a fun part to watch. The audiences will agree that Boone’s The Fault in Our Stars was a better project than Marvel’s New Mutants, and the failure of the film is not Boone’s fault.
