Previously at the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", Andrew Stanton once said that this is a super big project with a budget of more than 200 million dollars, and Matthew took the script very seriously, and called to turn down the date with Alexandra D'Addario in the evening, and returned to Horner Manor, intending to take a good look at Andrew Stanton's script.

After making a cup of tea and sitting in front of the computer in his study, Matthew logged into his private encrypted mailbox, found the email from Andrew Stanton, and downloaded the attached documents to the computer.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then clicked on the document.

The first page of the document is the title, which has three names on this page, unlike Edgar Rice Burroughs' original famous Princess of Mars.

It's clear that Andrew Stanton doesn't plan to use the original title of Princess Mars.

The three names are John Carter on Mars, Martian Wars, and Alien Battlefields.

On the first page, Matthew stopped, and the names "John Carter on Mars" and "Martian Wars" are commonplace, and they are also typical Hollywood movie naming methods like "Star Wars".

But why is the name "Alien Battlefield" so familiar?

Matthew stared at the computer screen, quickly determining that the familiarity was not from Hollywood now, but from having seen the name before!

Suddenly, he remembered the plot of the original book that was somewhat familiar......

Looking at the plot, it's a little familiar, not because "Princess Mars" is similar to a junior YY at a certain point, but because he has seen similar movies before?

With such thoughts, Matthew felt more and more familiar with the name "Alien Battlefield", as if a certain pirated movie he had downloaded on the Internet was called this business card.

Thinking of this, Matthew quickly moved his mouse and clicked to read the content of the script, Andrew Stanton said before that he would greatly adapt the original book, maybe he could recall more content when he saw the plot setting of the script.

Many forgotten memories, after being touched, can be recalled.

Unlike when he watched "Cloud Atlas" before, he read Andrew Stanton's script very seriously.

This is not only because of the level of investment, but also because of the director himself, the Wachowski siblings' style is too deliberate to pursue depth and philosophical speculation, which he finds scary when he thinks about it, and in his memory, except for the "Matrix" series, the other films of the Wachowski siblings are basically street goods.

He doesn't remember much about Andrew Stanton, but Andrew Stanton's resume from joining Pixar Studios to the present is brilliant enough.

Andrew Stanton's first film was the acclaimed Finding Nemo, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and Best Animated Feature, and he also served as a writer or executive producer on Toy Story, Bugs, Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc.

While he hasn't touched on live-action films, Andrew Stanton clearly understands what genres would be popular in the film market.

With this in mind, Matthew spent most of the night reading Andrew Stanton's script very carefully.

Perhaps really stimulated by the plot of the script, he remembered something and realized that his thoughts about Andrew Stanton were not necessarily correct.

"A master of animated film...... "he takes his eyes off the screen, leans back in his swivel chair, and mutters to himself, "not necessarily a good live-action director." ”

Like most adapted movies, this script is also a great adaptation of the original book, and the plot after Andrew Stanton adapted it into the script looks even more familiar than the original book!

The script tells the story of John Carter, a traumatized former military officer during the American Civil War, who inadvertently travels to Mars, due to different gravitational forces, the Earth is big and Mars is small, John Carter becomes an infinitely powerful and bouncing "Superman", and thus becomes involved in the conflict of several local ethnic groups, between beautiful princesses, heroic allies and cunning enemies.

Many of these episodes mention John Carter being able to jump on Mars like Superman, like a frog......

"Alien Battlefield", jumping on alien planets like frogs, and becoming a savior with frog jumping, soaking in a beautiful princess, including a group of mysterious aliens, pretending to be dead at the end to kill aliens......

The more I watched these films, the more familiar they felt to Matthew, and there was a movie that I deleted directly after watching it once, and I gradually got a little impression in my head.

Isn't the project that Andrew Stanton wants to promote a movie that fails to the point of making people vomit blood?

In order to make sure that he was not mistaken, Matthew specially read the script again, and the more he read it, the more he grasped it, and even remembered why he remembered the name "Alien Battlefield".

In the Internet in the era of smart phones, many browser apps would push some articles according to the content that individuals often watched, and he often watched movie-related information at that time in order to find new movies to download from the Internet.

Like the best war movies, the best horror movies, and the funniest comedy movies and so on.

There is also a genre that appears particularly frequently on the official movie account - the list of the most money-losing movies in the world.

He doesn't remember very well, but it's probably this kind of name, "Alien Battlefield" along with "Cleopatra" starring Elizabeth Taylor, "Cut Throat Island" that led to the bankruptcy of Carlock Films, Kevin Costner's Waterloo "Future Waterworld" and Warner Bros. "Batman and Robin", are the most frequent film titles.

If what he remembered was true, "Alien Battlefield" was definitely an epic super big hit.

Matthew suddenly remembered what Andrew Stanton had said: the production budget for this project would be more than $200 million......

If such an investment-scale movie is super hit the street, let alone him, even Tom Cruise will vomit blood, right? For stars who are not strong enough in confidence and capital, they can directly ruin the star journey.

He closed the document and quickly made a decision to turn down Andrew Stanton's invitation, and Helen Herman also said that the reason why Andrew Stanton invited him was that the actor in the military action genre was suitable for him on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also to attract investment.

Thinking of this, Matthew patted his leg.

I've been looking for a sinkhole, isn't this one? The production budget is more than 200 million dollars, Andrew Stanton needs funds, and the actor in it is also very suitable for the handsome guy like Pitt......

Thinking of this, his head spun quickly, how can Andrew Stanton be connected to Brad Pitt? and preferably before the release of "Cloud Atlas", the two can be directly linked.

Although Plan B did not announce the release time, according to Hollywood's consistent production model, as well as the filming and post-production speed of the Wachowski siblings in the past, "Cloud Atlas" will take about a year of pre-preparation, more than a year of shooting, post-production and publicity and marketing, and it will be released in the summer of 2009 at the earliest, but this film is very complicated, and it may have to be postponed to 2010.

Matthew turned off the computer and put the study into absolute silence, even the lights were turned off, and he sat in the dark and thought quietly.

After half an hour, his thinking became clear, it was not a must-do, but it could be tried, if Brad Pitt didn't get into the pit, he couldn't just reach out and push Pitt in, so the time and energy invested in it should be reasonably controlled.

Like the last time, there is no direct contact with Pete, he just digs a hole, and it is up to him whether Pete enters or not.

Matthew stood up and walked out of the study, with a rough plan in mind, but not in a hurry, after all, there was no more concrete news from Andrew Stanton's side.

He'll be in contact with Andrew Stanton and then look for the right opportunities.

As for how the news gets to Brad Pitt, we have to think about it.

Out of the study and back in the bedroom, Matthew made a phone call to Alexandra Daddario, who had not slept yet, and the two chatted on the phone for about ten minutes.

Then, he couldn't take it anymore and drove downstairs away from Warner Manor and headed straight for the Ivy House north of Burbank.

He prefers to fight the waves rather than sleep alone, even if those two waves are as majestic as mountains and as strong as a hurricane, they can't suppress his heart of conquest.

In the face of the waves, he will stand with a spear and use his skillful skills to crack the suffocating waves.

Memorial Day passed in the battle where Ma Xiu speared through the mountains, and the next morning, he personally drove Alexandra Daddario to Warner Studios, halfway through to get the latest box office report for Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World.

This past Monday, the film still maintained a very high attendance rate and scheduling rate, and after winning more than $20 million at the box office, the North American box office accumulated $160.37 million, continuing to move towards a big hit.

On the other hand, overseas box office statistics have also come out, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" opened simultaneously in 73 markets around the world, and the global box office reached $378.9 million in just one week.

In the next two weeks, the film will appear in more overseas markets.

However, due to many factors such as passing the trial, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" was released on the other side of the Pacific Ocean about three weeks later than in North America.

After sending Alexandra Daddario to Warner Studios, Matthew rushed to David Ellison's Sky Dance Pictures, where there will be an interview today to determine the director of the Fast and Furious series.
