I realize that, considering the film is still shooting, it's early to get into this, but I really hope the Depp/DS film isn't test screened to death. And the reason I bring it up now is because I was just reading an article about recent test screenings of Chloe Moretz' Hugo that warned that the comments and impressions being shared wouldn't necessarily reflect on the final version of the film because that final version could be very different from what audiences are seeing in the test screenings because, based on their reactions, the edit of the film could easily change. And this is a film directed by Martin Scorsese - not some fledgling or mid-level director without clout. And also, in last week's issue of Entertainment Weekly, Brad Pitt talked about how his favorite scene in Legends of the Fall was taken out because audience response during test screenings ranked it the #1 most hated scene. But very interestingly, it was also ranked the #2 most liked scene, and Pitt tried to explain to the studio that the whole point of the scene was to evoke emotion - which it obviously did with opinion so split over it. But apparently that didn't matter to the studio. And that prompted the EW writer to remark that "God forbid you get an actual reaction from people."
**sigh**
