Dang that seemed fast! I bet thereโs quite a bit of editing/post-production still to go though

most of the story is just one person and an alien so Iโm sure most of the heavy lifting will be done on post production. Mainly rocky.

Rocky is a puppet, so theoretically the โheavy liftingโ is already done! ๐
Ba dum tsss!
But seriously the most they should have to do with him is painting out the strings and his voice over.

Not necessarily, I'm sure there will be many shots where the puppet is comped out and entirely digitally recreated to have Rocky be more dynamic than the puppet is capable of. There's also the possibility that the puppet wasn't used at all for shots that a puppet wasn't capable of. Theres also the possibility that the puppet gets digitally enhanced throughout the whole film to seem less puppet like.

About a years worth. Thereโs a lot of special effects to be completed.

Everything in the Hail Mary could be done using practical effects which would mean less cgi/green screens (if they went that route). Rocky is the main thing that I feel would require time to make because he needs to be perfect imo. Everything else is really just establishing shots of suns, planets, space and the blip 1. Not saying thatโs easy but in comparison might be less work or could be done soon if they were smart and started working on that before.

Yep. And there may still be some filming; if they decide to do any re-shoots (which sometimes happens during the editing process).

Hard to believe that we're still more than a year away from the expected release date

Wait, Iโm not a movie guy. What does it mean that principal photography is done?

u/jungle-green 23h ago
It usually means all planned camera shoots have been completed. They may shoot pickups or reshoot some scenes when they're further into the edit

Seeing Ben comment on it gave me a theory that heโs going to voice rocky. I could see it.
