Scarlett Johansson and Rachel McAdams "replaced" Jessica Alba as the heroine of "Sin City" and "Fantastic Four" respectively, which became a hot topic among media fans, especially since both movies and "Firefly" were released in 2005.

Even Natalie Portman who connected with another masterpiece "Star Wars Prequel 3" in the same year, and even Anne Hathaway of the gay theme "Brokeback Mountain", these new generation of Hollywood actresses, who chooses more correctly, who is more stunning and beautiful, whose interpretation is more praised, and who wins and who loses...... There will be answers.

And the current situation is that in terms of appearance, "Visual Kei Girl" Jessica Alba wins, and in terms of acting, "Cosmic Girl" Natalie Portman wins. The title was provided by People magazine's 2003 list of 100 women in Hollywood, with Jessica at No. 32 and Natalie at No. 33.

"Brokeback Mountain", which started in early January, is scheduled to be filmed in two months, and it will be completed in early March, but the completion has not yet arrived, and the first to arrive is "League of Assassins" & John Woo, and Fire Films spokesperson Foona Hassen said: "This is a very exciting project, John Wu will get the opportunity to play his personal style to the extreme, he has always been the master of violent aesthetics, and we believe that "League of Assassins" will be a very refreshing, very cool and memorable gunfight action movie." ”

Mark Miller, the author of the original comics, said happily: "It's great to see John Wu directed, and "League of Assassins" needs such a director with such a sharp style and a brilliant play with guns. The low-key John Woo has not said anything at present, and it is understood that Magic Young will serve as the planning and producer of the film.

If "The Wind Whisperer" is a war movie, then the "Bulletproof Monk" supervised by him and the "tailor-made" thriller action film "Memory Rift" have all failed miserably, and John Woo is duty-bound. Isn't there a flame movie that can't be seen? No one in the industry or in the media is optimistic.

"It's just that John Wu, who is miraculously dying Jan crawls out of his coffin and sits in the director's chair. ”

Many producers secretly ridiculed, especially wanting to see MGM and Paramount, who also lost their panties with the flames. This is much more outrageous than asking Steve O'Darkcock to direct "Kung Fu Panda" and Ang Lee to direct "Brokeback Mountain", the former has the script of "Fake God", and the latter also has genre masterpieces such as "Emotion and Reason", of course, John Woo also has "Changing Face", but the "Failure Trilogy" betrayed him.

"He's really looking for death. "The media don't know how many times they shouted like this, often in the end, the magic Yang can be reversed, not this time, there is no doubt that he will fail, the failure is complete, this time the key to control the victory is not in his hands. And now that he himself is a "mud bodhisattva crossing the river", why does he feel that he has the strength to support other Chinese directors? Good movies are not just about having money.

But undoubtedly, a large number of gunfight action movie fans, the only remaining John Woo fans, are looking forward to the flames shouting the slogan "the coolest gunfight action movie", maybe John Wu can really recreate the silver screen glory of the pigeon double gun? It will be 2005 before there is an answer.

Another "Brokeback Mountain", which also only had an answer in 2005, is being filmed in Kananaski, Alberta, Canada, and is less than a week away.

"Whew!" The sky is clear and blue, the snow has paved the mountains with a layer of white, the woods by the lake are lush, like a beautiful postcard, the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" is busy laying out the camera, Ang Lee is directing something, Heath Ledger, wearing a blue denim dress and a white cowboy hat, walked to the lake, quietly exhaled, and felt a sense of pressure all over his body.

Looking at his own reflection on the lake, a cowboy, Heath Ledger couldn't help but be a little confused, did he play well?

Director Ang Lee seems to be gentle, and in the preparation stage of the film at the end of last year, he also cared for the actors like a loving father, and his questions were always answered, as well as those encouragement and praise...... It's a really good feeling, Heath Ledger shakes his head slightly self-deprecatingly, admitting that he is a person who lacks confidence and insecurity, and is also a very emotional person, and he would love to have more energy when he is working on the set, someone tells him to "act well".

It's just that as soon as the filming of "Brokeback Mountain" started, Ang Lee's idea was that in order to fit the lonely and depressing atmosphere of the movie, so that the actors would have a greater feeling for the script and be easier to enter the play, so he seemed to deliberately treat the actors as estranged props, not only did not laugh harshly, but also made the atmosphere on the set very stiff all day long, intentionally or unintentionally.

This feeling of being used as a prop is very annoying, especially the contrast between the fatherly and indifferent machine...... Heath Ledger was really feeling a little out of breath.

"HEY, Heath!" was feeling the distraction of fitting the movie, Heath Ledger heard someone shouting behind him, he turned to look, only to see Michelle Williams smiling over, seeing this sunny blonde woman, his mood suddenly improved a lot, if anyone would say "acting well" to him in the past two months, it was Michelle Williams.

Michelle came to stand beside him, looked up and took a deep breath of nature's fresh air, glanced at him, and then looked at the quiet and clear lake: "It's almost finished." ”

"yes. Heath Ledger nodded, after "Brokeback Mountain" is finished, he can go all out for the work of "Firefly", very much looking forward to it and a little scared, in the preparation period of auditions, phone calls, etc., of course, Magic Young is not a loving father, but better than a loving father, this director who is a year younger than him gives him a feeling of knowing friends who hate to see each other late, and there are also jokes and scolding of his peers, he wants to work on the set of this kind of director must be very pleasant.

What he was afraid of was that he didn't know what would change after the start-up, and would Magic Young make the set an embarrassing place for the sake of atmosphere and entering the play? Although judging from his character script, "Firefly" is not a depressing atmosphere overall, but the blue gloves ...... I heard that during the filming of "District 9", Wang Yang and Robert Downey Jr. had to fight all day long, and Anne Hathaway reflected that the set of "Juno" was full of laughter.

Heath Ledger frowned in thought, and Michelle, who was watching him, laughed suspiciously, "What's wrong?

After nearly two months of understanding, she knows that this guy is afraid of life and resists the crowd, as soon as there are many people, he will cover up his inner discomfort with frivolous and crazy behavior, and the image of a drunkard with flowers;

However, his conduct is much more out of line than that of the "good man" Magic Young, at least in the history of love, he is a playboy who loves his sister, Christina Couch, Heather Greenham...... The most recent was the breakup with Naomi Watts, who had been in a relationship for 1 year and 5 months in September last year.

Why does Michelle know so well? Because he is interested in her, he can refuse the actor in "Spider-Man", and he can get drunk because he likes to take over the filming of "Kelly's Party" with a salary of 50,000 US dollars...... Naomi Watts said he was naïve, and almost everyone thought he was a prodigal bastard, but what Michelle saw was that it was actually his disguise, and Heath Ledger was a good family man.

This kind of person who is very unnatural in front of the crowd, but is actually very talkative and interesting in private, this kind of person who is willing to take a few steps forward and take the initiative to give him some confidence and encouragement, he will keep talking and talking, even what size he is wearing, this kind of sister lover, who wants to get a mother's sister-like hug...... Although Michelle is more than a year younger than him and not as beautiful as several of his ex-sister girlfriends, she knows that she has a hand.

The most difficult thing to pursue is actually the kind of person who is magical, that kind of talent is a real, playboy who knows how to steal his heart, he knows exactly what to do and what to say, serious, moving, humorous, funny, frivolous, steady, tough, gentle...... Just the few times she has been in contact with the preparation of "Brokeback Mountain", so strange can be amused by him, a very unforgettable feeling, and listen to what Anne Hathaway said about him?

Anyway, Michelle thinks that if he wants to come really, he can easily soak in any woman with a personality type, which is difficult to extricate himself.

If he sends him a date offer, she doesn't know if she will say yes or not, then of course a good man will, but she is afraid of that type, and she doesn't have the confidence that she can tie him up and enter the marriage hall like Jessica Alba. Of course, this is just her understanding from a few conversations and contacts, plus hearsay, Heath Ledger is pretending to be cool, Magic Jan is really cool, she just wants to pretend to be cool, just this one in front of her.

"Uh......" Heath Ledger looked at her, the sunny smile on his face was a little shy, and he smiled: "It's nothing, after you know "Brokeback Mountain", I'm going to shoot "Firefly". I'm a little scared that Miraculous Jan will be like Ann...... Cruel. ”

Looking at Michelle's uncontrollable smile, he immediately hurriedly explained: "I'm not really scared! No matter what, I will do my best to play "Firefly", blue gloves, that is, my role is very, very good...... When I say fear, I'm nervous about facing a new environment, like when you change schools and you have to meet new teachers and classmates, which is very troublesome...... To be honest, I'm really not a cowboy ......"

"Hehe, Hiss, to be honest, you're a lovely guy. Michelle laughed, which made Heath Ledger giggle too: "Thank you......" Michelle straightened up with his pants pocket, his face was full of encouraging smiles, and said: "Heath, don't worry! Although I haven't worked with Magic Young on the set, I have inquired, don't care where I got it from! ”

Heath-Ledger smirked again: "Okay, Hathaway, right?" Michelle shrugged his shoulders and said seriously: "Don't look down on people, I know a lot of people." They all said that Wang Yang was very kind and humorous, and you would laugh all day long with him, and there would be no pressure, and there would be no deliberate stimulation of you in order to enter the play. Hiss nodded, "Yes, he is gracious, I don't doubt that." It's just on the set, forget it...... Don't talk about this topic anymore, thank you. ”

Michelle said OK and smiled: "Then can you tell me your arrangements after the finish? I'm going home." ”

"First of all, I'm going to Vancouver to participate in the training camp of the "Firefly" crew for a month, and do some kung fu and martial arts training, I don't know. Heath Ledger paused as he spoke, it is said that all character actors who have martial arts action scenes will participate in this training camp. MITCHELL YEP SAID, AND HEATH CONTINUED: "IT STARTED IN APRIL, BUT MY FOOTAGE WASN'T SHOT UNTIL MAY, SO I HAD A MONTH TO GO...... Ponder. ”

He is ready to lock himself up, not to be disturbed by outside interference, and spend that month dismantling and analyzing the character of "Blue Glove", bit by bit, every word and deed, Blue Glove's thoughts, his way of thinking, his emotions, the tone of his speech, and his small movements...... But now I'm Ennis!Heath-Ledger shook his head hard and explained to a confused Michelle, "I can't let myself think about Firefly and Blue Gloves and get out of here." Michelle nodded silently, she looked at the face of this pretending to be a cool boy, and suddenly took the initiative to say, "Hey, after today's shooting, let's go have a drink, shall we? ”

"Oh! uh-huh......" Faced with the sudden invitation to date, Heath was stunned for a while, he was the only one who pursued girls, when did the girl come and pursue him upside down?Looking at Michelle who was smiling, his heart jumped suddenly, but he shook his head and said: "No, I have to maintain this lonely and depressing atmosphere first, and there are still several days of drama...... Michelle raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little disappointed: "Oh, okay." ”

"But!" Heath Ledger hurriedly shouted, glanced at everyone in the crew over there, touched his forehead, and said seriously: "After a few days of finishing, let's go have another drink." Michelle couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth: "Of course." ”

The filming of "Brokeback Mountain" is finishing, and the preparation of "Firefly" has been going on, and it has not stopped because Wang Yang went on his honeymoon, because many jobs have already been designed and decided, or there is no need for the director to directly intervene, and Wang Yang will follow up and reply to the crew's emails every day, and contact them directly by phone when needed, everything is progressing in an orderly manner. During this time, two more starring candidates were announced.

In fact, the other four crew members of the Tranquility have already auditioned in January, but they are just scheduled to be announced.

The pilot of the Tranquility "Hogan Walsh" is played by Alan Tudyk, and the concept art of the character is unsealed, and the picture shows a cab full of precision instruments and electronic screens, but it doesn't look so advanced, and one of the cracked screens is even more shabby, and some dinosaur toy models are placed in the decorative positions of instruments, seats and other places, sitting in the driver's seat, wearing an inappropriate Hawaiian beach shirt and beach pants, Walsh looks back with a smile.

On March 16, 1971, Alan Tudyk was born in Texas, after graduating from high school, he studied drama acting at Ron Morris Jr. College for two years, and has had wonderful supporting roles in films such as "Wonderful Hands", "Miracle Boy", "28 Days", "Holy War Knight", and is also the voice actor of "Ice Age" Dodo "Oscar", Wang Yang knows that he is Hogan Walsh of the original 02 TV series version of "Firefly" who was killed by the butterfly effect, and he played very well.

Walsh's wife, the black first mate "Zoe", is also played by the 02 TV series version of Gina Torres, and in the concept art of the character unsealed on the official website, she is standing next to the Tranquility spaceship, with curly hair, wearing western denim clothes, holding an antique long pistol, and a serious and murderous look.

On April 25, 1969, Gina Torres, who is of Cuban descent, was born in New York, and her husband is the black fat man "Morpheus" Lawrence Fishburne in "The Matrix", and she has played a supporting role in the "Matrix" series, and is also a gold medal supporting actor in TV movies and TV series with excellent acting skills.

"I'm so disappointed!" Many fans have lost their patience, for them, it's just two tricks! Why don't you ask Halle Berry to play Zoe? You know that Wonder Young saves money, what an unprecedentedly powerful cast, now only Robert Downey Jr., Jessica Alba, Heath Ledger can get their hands on it, looking at the names of these two actors, what does it matter who will play Walsh and Zoe?

But there are also more fans who don't look forward to the cast, and who clearly expect the magic of Yang, and find more and more unusual places, dinosaur toy models, beach shirts, and beach pants all indicate that the Tranquility is a very casual place, definitely not "Star Trek";

Linked to other concept art, the answer is imminent, "Firefly" is really a western cowboy-style space sci-fi movie.

"Daniel Wu joins "Firefly" and will play the role of Janeny, a mercenary on the USS Serenity. ”

Approaching the end of February, Flame Films announced the latest news of the joining of actors, Miraculous Yang's henchmen, "Jeff Ma" Daniel Wu, and Wu Yanzu.

Is it another domineering high-IQ genius? It doesn't seem to be. I saw that in the character column of Firefly's official website, there were question marks everywhere in the four items of "Star Alliance, Independents, Marauders, and Worlds", and fans who clicked on the independents-Tranquility found that after Janeny was unblocked, there was only one concept picture of the character marked "?" left, and Janie's picture was very domineering.

Standing in front of the Serenity, Jeanny was wearing a tank top and trousers, his burly and muscular body was about to burst with a pale yellow vest, he was covered in bullets, he held a pistol in his left hand, a rifle in his right hand, a Gatling machine gun on his foot, boxes of ammunition next to him, and a few grenades rolling around. Janeny's face tensed as if she were on the verge of a great enemy, and the ship's logo behind her stood out: Serenity/Serenity.
