https://moviepilot.com/p/star-trek-discovery-fall-release-date/4212526 The month I predicted. Seemed logical
Actors on projects are rarely reliable inside sources about studio decision making, and moviepilot is a pretty vapid click-bait site...
Often actors need to know schedules in order to work.. But that's why I put "may have". Still it's a pretty good bet reinforced this latest info.
For a moment, I thought that picture in the article of Doug Jones getting make-up on was his Discovery character before reading the caption. A shame, I think it would be interesting and cool to have a creepy and disturbing looking alien be a good guy, sort of a don't judge by appearances thing.
Actors need to know when shooting is, not when something premieres. One affects their work schedule, the other doesn't.
An agreement to promote it might affect their schedule at the time of the premiere. But you're right, that schedule information isn't necessarily provided to them six months in advance. Schedules can change and everyone adjusts. I'd guess that Jones is repeating the expectations of production people around the set, rather than an internal announcement.
What's wrong with that? We already knew it wouldn't meet its May date, and although no date has been announced, all sources were saying "fall." If anything, September's good. They could easily wait until December, as that is still technically "fall" on the calendar.
The comment was intended to be taken a little facetiously. It's just the anticipation of it all - it's killing me.
September is fine. If only RAMA can give is insight on when The Winds of Winter will be released I will be grateful.
They know they'll be working/shooting till September according to reports. That's towards the end of when post production should be done on the first episodes they shot. Regardless its been confirmed I was right anyway so the point is moot.
Like I said..seemed logical. Based on production time, the end of filming, CBS' probable desire to air it at a structured time that most shows usually appear. However, after looking in various places online I was the first to say it. :-) My further guess based on Les Moonves' interview: Not September 8th as many had guessed, but closer to STNG's premiere date, Sept 28th. The thing that bugged me was the slew of new media reports saying "Discovery delayed again" when we already knew it was delayed, he was just further defining the release time. RAMA
I think most people really don't care to try and predict release dates and are perfectly happy to wait for an announcement.
Not according to online media outlets and social media. The number one news story? Premiere delays. A cursory search is evidence enough.
