Chapter 269: The Horn Approaches

"Heath Ledger joins Firefly and will play the number one villain 'Blue Glove'. ”

It's only been a few days, from the rumors of the amazing Jan Brad Pitt to the shattering of hope for the collaboration, to the confirmation of the amazing Jan & Heath Ledger, everything is so fast. There was no shock to this news of the actor's joining, but it really made the fans and netizens who paid attention to movie entertainment and "Firefly" active, which should be regarded as a strong alliance, right? Brad Pitt's die-hard fans and a large part of the neutral movie fan audience disagreed.

No matter what fame or acting skills are, Heath Ledger is obviously a lot worse than Pitt! Everyone knows that after being rejected, Magic Young will retreat, but it doesn't have to be like this, right? From a top superstar to one of the main idols of the new generation, although Heath Ledger is a powerful actor, he also disappointed some Magic Young fans, and thought that he would find Will Smith and Nicolas Cage of the same level and scare Brad Pitt to death, who knows...... In a Yahoo News commentary, Fleming D sarcastically wrote: "This is the man Marvel Young is looking for! Now it seems that Heath Ledger can play both, and the blue gloves are not that important at all, and there is no reason why Brad should not turn down such a supporting role." Since "Brokeback Mountain", Jan has taken a fancy to Heath, maybe he has already decided on the candidate for the Blue Glove, otherwise how could it be so fast? Maybe Brad has become the hype object of "Firefly". Dormer-K wrote, "Pete made the right decision, and Wang Yang's insincere conspiracy is annoying!!...... Of course, Heath Ledger is not a nobody, starring in "Four Feathers" and "The Brothers Grimm" (still scheduled to be released) with a production budget of up to 80 million, but it is dwarfed by Brad Yard.

But the sunny and handsome Heath also has a lot of fans, and Jan & Heath excites them, Lena writes excitedly: "Looking forward to Hiss performing under Young's magic! They are all so, so talented and handsome, so charming!" Andrew T wrote: "I've always thought that Heath starred in a movie of Amazing Young, he knows how to direct talented actors of the same age, look at Natalie Portman! Heath may also get an Oscar nomination this time." "......" is an imaginative collaboration. Heath Ledger's agent Steve King uses "imagination" and "creativity" to describe Wang Yang & Heath Ledger, a 23-year-old magical director, a rising 24-year-old acting star, and a sci-fi blockbuster with a budget of up to 200 million. Steve King told the outlet: "They had a very pleasant, late-to-date audition and they identified each other right away, and that's why we finalized it quickly. ”

According to Steve, Heath Ledger's work plan for next year is to finish "Brokeback Mountain" first, and then star in "Firefly", due to limited schedule and energy, he will not accept other film contracts next year. Steve said: "I believe that Heath will perform well on the screen in the next two years. ”

However, the entertainment media have different opinions on whether Heath Ledger is a acting genius, and Heath is undoubtedly full of talent and potential, but the past few years have been worse than one year at a time. Fallen "geniuses" are never uncommon, and there are various reasons, such as self-depravity, loss of aura, and willingness to be mediocre and stable...... Robert Downey Jr., who is addicted to drugs, Mickey Locke, who ran to boxing, and Kevin Costner, who won the Golden Sour Plum Award after the Oscar for Best Director, are all spokespersons.

Some media on the Internet called it "a genius shock worth looking forward to", believing that Heath Ledger is expected to usher in a breakthrough in his acting career under the hands of two Chinese directors; ”

The parties Heath Ledger and Wang Yang did not speak on this matter, but on the official website of "Firefly", the news of celebrating Heath Ledger joining the crew was released, and a new character concept map was unfrozen, from "?" to "Blue Glove". The concept image shows a tall man in a black coat and leather shoes standing tall, his face unclear from the sunlight, tugging at the blue gloves in his hands.

Previously, when Robert Downey Jr. announced his joining, the official website also unraveled a concept map of "Captain Marr", which did not reveal a cowboy-style independent military photo.

And there are a bunch of question marks in the character column, "Firefly" is not like "Spider-Man", "Batman", which has a long history of comics and adaptations of many movies, and the characters are basically familiar;

In this way, it will be impressive, and maintain the continuous attention of media fans to the film, among which the news of the successive actors joining is a promotional trick used by many movies, Robert Downey Jr., Heath Ledger, the next ...... This is also the strategy of Firefly.

Due to the confirmation of MAX%, Wang Yang did not announce that Jessica will join to play "Ruiva", anyway, there is no need to worry. But the promotion of "Firefly" also needs the appearance of an actress, and fans have been waiting for it for a long time, so the next role he wants to solve is the repairman of the Tranquility spaceship, who often complains about the captain and tells bad jokes, and the innocent and lively girl Kelly Fry, and he already has a favorite candidate.

"What!?You say Amazing Young? Is that Amazing Young? Young-ang? He invited me to audition? Oo......oo Whatever, yes!"

At the same time, as the time enters late November, the atmosphere of Thanksgiving is gradually getting stronger, and a new round of fierce competition is about to start on the theater screen.

"The Devil Wears Prada" has already passed the MPAA review, and unsurprisingly received a PG rating, and the flame film once again did not arrange a test screening for film critics and audiences, but the public has long been accustomed to the mystery of Miraculous Yang to the end, and he and Flame are fully qualified to be so confident. Although there are no test screenings, there are naturally 30-second TV trailers, teaser trailers, official trailers, and international trailers, and they have landed on their respective screens, screens, and online locations.

Looking at the beautiful clothes in the trailer, all kinds of luxury goods that can't be pronounced, Streep, Jessica and others have a variety of beautiful looks, revealing the life of the fashion industry...... Countless female viewers feel that there is a "demon" jumping in their hearts, surging and gradually becoming crazy, and it is still magically filmed! How can this movie not be watched? The eyes of the male audience are also full of red hearts, although the most beautiful heroine certainly does not even have a kiss scene, but there is still that Emily, many model beauties, Meryl Streep charm, the problem is that the heroine is too beautiful...... How can you not watch this movie?

"In order to see the theatrical trailer for "TDP", I went to see a "Dance Out of My Life", which was not bad and met my expectations, and the dance was really amazing! Channing Tatum is very handsome!" Alice said on her blog.

The follow-up of "Dance Out of My Life" in the sixth week of release is weak, leaving more than 300 theaters to be screened, and it has basically ended its journey, its current North American box office has reached 80.13 million, and overseas markets will be released in the first season of next year; "SA" currently has 1,105 theaters, with a North American box office of 73.5 million, and will also land on the big screen overseas next year.

Starting on Friday, November 21st, the Thanksgiving schedule has kicked off, with the 109 million cost live-action animation "Cat in the Hat" and the horror film "Ghost Man" starring Halle Berry in a joint venture between Universal and DreamWorks, and the 90 million cost of "Ghost Haunted House", "Bad Christmas Father" and "Timeline" on the 28th, and on December 5, the epic masterpiece with a cost of 140 million and the Oscar impact "The Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise debuted.

On December 12th, this year's Christmas schedule will begin, and the last big drama at the end of the year will also be released.

The first to rush to the front is "The Devil Wears Prada", which will not only be released in North America and many overseas countries, but will also compete for the 61st Golden Globe Awards Musical/Comedy Film nominations together with Wang Yang's other film "MIT-21-TEAM" this year, and this year's Golden Globe Award nominees will be announced on Thursday, December 18.

In addition to "TDP", the new work "Love is a Compromise" by female director Nancy Meyers, who has directed "Natural Pair" and "Man 100%", was released on the 12th, this romantic comedy with Keanu Levi, Frances McDormand, and Jack Nicholson is definitely not to be taken lightly, and it is considered one of the most powerful contenders for the box office title in the first week of the Christmas file.

"Three years ago, because of "Sweetheart", "Juno" and "100% Men" producer Matt Williams had a dispute, which also allowed Wang Yang and Nancy Meyers to have a side fight, and "Juno" won. This year, it seems like they can finally go head-to-head, with Meryl Streep in Wonder Young and McDormand and Nicholson in Nancy Meyers, who will take the box office title? Or the two-day premiere of "The Lord of the Rings 3"? These are all interesting elements of this year's Christmas schedule. β€”Variety Magazine.

As for the comedy "Close Brothers" directed by the Ferrari brothers, and the romantic comedy "Love is Priceless" have been left out, and no one believes that they have the slightest possibility of an upset.

"The Lord of the Rings 3" was released on the 17th, and "Mona Lisa's Smile" debuted on a new Friday on the 19th, this 50s drama and "TDP" are both called "women's plays", Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles are all on the screen, and the two "three women in one play" film, although they are of different genres, have been pulled into a showdown by some media.

In terms of the cast's market appeal and popularity, Meryl Streep is an Oscar regular, but she lost to Julia Roberts, Jessica Alba and Kirsten Dunst are tied, and the nameless Emily Blunt completely loses to "Evil Girl" Julia Stiles.

In the last week of 2003 on the 26th, all the films that are going to hit the 76th Oscars next year will be released, Steve Martin's comedy "A Basket of Children" is not, John Woo's "turn over or out" work "Memory Crack" is not, "Peter Pan" is not, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman and others starring "Cold Mountain" is, why are there so few films in the Olympics?

Because all companies know that the final chapter of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, "The Return of the King", will undoubtedly be a super box office bomb, and it can also be said that it has been "booked" for next year's Oscars.
