The much-anticipated Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has completed filming a week before it began filming.
“Filming went very well, which is good, because it means I can really look forward to the shoot starting as I can be completely confident that it will go really well, because it’s gone really well,” explained director and quantum theorist Peyton Reed.
Excitement is building for the film which is said to feature more multi-dimensional individual shoots than any other film, including all of Christopher Nolan’s films put together.
“We plan to actually film in seven different timelines, six different dimensions and another reality. There are actually a number of sequences that will be filmed before we actually plan and storyboard them. That could prove really quite daunting, but happily, as filming has completed without any real issue, we can be confident that those sequences will go fine when filming begins.”
The multi-dimensional, quantum nature of the film has required a variety of new techniques to be pioneered.
“Oh wow, that’s right – cross-dimensional effects, filming in the past, atomic shots. It has been and will be a challenging shoot,” continued Reed.
“But the timelines will be crazy. We’ve got several days where we have three or four shoots to do before we even get started. I’m not looking forward to those, but I am pretty relieved that they seemed to go okay.
“Anyway. I’m just glad the shoot concluded on time so we can all take a week’s break before getting back to work and starting the shoot.”
Now that the shoot is completed, post-production work will take place at the same time as the actual shoot itself and then Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is expected to be released in 2018, just before the original Ant-Man came out.

Exclusive: Blair Witch footage FAKE!
The Blair Witch project is one of the most powerful films of the nineties, revered by many for its shocking and terrifying depiction of supernatural activity.
However, new evidence presented by Screen Idle proves that fans and critics alike have been duped for almost twenty years.
The Blair Witch footage is FAKE.
“Well, my first clue was the credits,” said unemployed hamster wrangler and amateur film sleuth Mary Williams.
“I mean, it’s clear as day – ‘the characters in this film are fictional’ – well, if the characters are fictional, then I wondered if the whole thing was fictional.”
Mary spent several months poring over old articles, maps of the area, and books about witches before she came across the smoking gun.
“Right, it’s a bit technical,” she admits.
“I noticed that if you load up the DVD, you know you have to click on ‘play,’ right? Well, if you don’t do that but use the arrows on your remote, you can navigate to something called ‘special features,’ which gives you a hidden menu that contains ‘the making of the Blair Witch Project.’
“I watched that, and it’s everything. How they made the dolls, how they cast the role of Heather, where they filmed it. It admits everything is fake
“It’s almost like they wanted to be caught, I mean they just laid everything out on how they did everything. It debunks the whole film.”
The incriminating film is now available here
Of course, the other great supernatural documentary of the time is Paranormal Activity, but Mary reassured us that it was legitimate.
“Paranormal Activity? Yeah, that’s genuine. Well, I mean, it’s right there isn’t it. You see a ghost throwing the woman about and everything. I don’t know why anyone would think that’s a fake.
“That is fact.”
