In Progress

Cast with (scenes deleted) or Other Crew?

Hi, everyone:

I'm auditing the on-screen credits of In a Violent Nature (2024) and I have doubts about how to represent some credits in the database.

Here's the cast of the final released film in 2024:

The original shooting, however, started in 2021 in Peterborough (Southern Ontario) and, due to several reasons, most of the film (≈70%) had to be reshot with a new team in Algoma (Northern Ontario). Some of these difficulties are depicted in this interesting documentary.

The point is that there is a section in the credits that lists all the people who participated in the Peterborough shoot, including actors who were recast afterwards.

I watched the film and, as far as I know, none of the scenes involving these actors made the final cut, although I could be wrong (there are some extreme wide shots where characters are barely distinguishable; or Johnny, the killer, is a burly man in a mask).

Currently only Hailey Imani (the "original Brodie" ~ mispelt "Brody" in the screenshot) is listed in the film's cast page with the (uncredited) attribute, which is incorrect, since her name is billed and she apparently doesn't show up in the final version.

So, what would be the best way to add these actor credits?

  1. In the Cast section, with the (scenes deleted) attribute? (although "they are not credited directly with the main cast on-screen").
  2. In the Other Crew section? (something like 'original cast: Johnny, Peterborough').

Thank you! (and Merry Christmas! 🧑‍🎄)

ETA: Am I the only one who can't embed Youtube videos in Getsatisfaction? They look good in the preview, but then they do not appear when the post is sent, and there is a blank space in the middle of the text... 😒

Hi ljdoncel-

Apologies for the delay response!

We are confirming the correct placement with our policy team and we'll reply once we have further information.

As per the video embedding, we haven't seen reports of issues from other community members and we are not able to replicate the problem ourselves. However, are you seeing any particular warnings during the uploading of the link? Can you confirm the link you were trying to embed?

Cheers!

Thank you very much, Maya!

(and happy New Year! 🥳)

ETA: I have seen Michelle's post testing the YouTube video before she deleted it and indeed, it looked ok to me. However, I'm unable to attach any YouTube video (at least with Firefox 133.0.3).

The video I tried to embed was: https://youtu.be/2mFAEt5RUco

In my next post I will try to post the video using Google Chrome.

@ljdoncel​ Hi again-

We got confirmation from our policy team that they should be added as point #1 above: In the Cast section, with the (scenes deleted) attribute.

As per the video embedding, the respective team is still investigating but we'll keep you posted on their updates with this issue.
