For his upcoming movie adaptation of the fast-selling video game franchise, director Eli Roth tells Entertainment Weekly that he shot an entire wedding sequence between Wainwright Jakobs (Cheyenne Jackson) and his partner Sir Alistair Hammerlock (Charles Babalola), two popular characters from the games. However, the filmmaker says it was ultimately scrapped during the editing process because it threw off the movie's pace.
“It was one of those things that we all loved,” Roth explains. “We loved the actors. The scene itself turned out great, but in the overall mission of the film it felt like a detour that stopped the mood and then went back.”
