At the same time, in terms of the cast lineup, in order to reproduce the chemistry of the original film for the greatest effect, Sid still meticulously found Jeffrey Rush who played Captain Barbossa, Kevin McNally who played Gibbs and other important supporting roles.

Even actors such as Lee Allenberg and McKinsey Crook, who played fat and skinny pirates, were listed by Sid as unchangeable and important.

But for Sid's version of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the "most significant" cast change is the transfer of the heroine Elizabeth Swan to Lindsay.

In fact, as far as this role is concerned, Lindsay still seems too young, Xiao Nizi, who has just turned 16 years old, although she is the same age as Elizabeth in terms of character setting, but Hollywood has always been played by older actors to play younger roles.

This is not only because adult actors over the age of 18 are easier to control, but they don't want to have a lot of "trouble" like minor actors, whether it is more convenient in terms of contract or shooting, and on the other hand, if you really find underage actors to play underage roles, it is also a question whether you can play them well.

Like Lindsay in "A Natural Pair", Natalie Portman's amazing performance in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" belongs to a minority after all.

For A-level commercial blockbusters, it is even more impossible for producers and film companies to gamble on the professionalism of the protagonist with hundreds of millions of dollars in production costs.

This is also the reason why Disney did not use Lindsay as the heroine of "Pirates of the Caribbean" "historically", after all, the age difference is there, even if everyone comes to shoot, no one will think of Lindsay, who is not yet 18 years old.

For Lindsay as "Elizabeth", the Fire Lion also had some doubts at the beginning, both in terms of age and acting expressiveness, after all, in an A-grade commercial film like "Pirates of the Caribbean", the aura needs of movie stars are far more demanding than real acting skills.

But when Lindsay appeared in front of everyone in a classical dress at the fitting meeting, she couldn't help but make everyone's eyes shine, but what was even more praise was Lindsay's pure British classical accent.

The reason why Keira Knightley was chosen in the original film of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was because of the British accent problem, and it was precisely because of this factor that several other post-80s actresses did not have any chance to get involved.

But as early as in "A Natural Pair", Lindsay played two roles as twin sisters with two different accents in Britain and the United States, and then, Sid invited her to a pronunciation teacher with a classical English accent to train, although it was not in a hurry, but subtly, Lindsay's skills in this area did not fall behind at all.

In this regard, she is much better than the vast majority of actresses of the same age.

For example, Anne Hathaway, who has always wanted to be different from English in the four post-80s flowers, but has been criticized, belongs to the type that wants to learn but can't learn.

Some things really depend on both hard work and talent.

Speaking of which, in fact, Sid has always been interested in Hollywood's so-called "post-80s generation" actresses, although nominally, there are the so-called four big flowers and later four little flowers in the circle, but it is difficult for them to really get on the top stage.

The reason is that in the late 90s and the first decade of 2000, all the actresses who really shined were post-60s and 70s!

Cameron Diaz, Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie and Reese Witherspoon, they are the members of the A-List of the 20 million club after Julia Roberts's big sister, leaving behind the post-80s actresses several positions.

Even if it's a little worse, it's the quasi-line like Drew Barrymore and Katherine Haigl.

And even if commercial influence is put aside, only in terms of artistic achievements, post-80s actresses are difficult to compare with those late-blooming "aunts" - acting queen Cate Blanchett, two-time actress Hilary Swank, and of course, the best female devil Charlize Theron.

It can be said that although a group of famous directors and "Vanity Fair" are supporting the post-80s actresses, they are really bumpy and unsatisfactory.

This is also the real reason why Sid didn't waste time on them, in Sid's opinion, even the so-called Four Great Flowers, their talent and performance are a bit half-legged - either the acting skills are not enough, or the star aura is insufficient.

Upward, it can't compare with the top female stars of the 20 million club, and downward, it will soon be perfectly surpassed by the later "Twilight Girl" and "Big Cousin".

It's really hard to be satisfied.

After determining Lindsay's makeup and character effects, the role of the actor Will Turner, Sid also gave it directly to Orlando Bloom, a British student who had worked with him in "Warm Corpses", without much thought.

Orlando Bloom, who is "naturally beautiful", has only participated in a few films even with "Warm Corpses", which was first electrocuted on the screen, and Sid's "Warm Corpses" is his first leading role.

Although "Warm Corpse" laid a solid foundation for Fire Lion Pictures' later "fantasy blockbuster project", it has a bit of a taste of being a celebrity.

Although the movie was good at the box office and reviews back then, most people focused on Sid as the director, and the two main protagonists, Orlando Bloom and Reese Witherspoon, did not become popular with this film.

As for later, Rishi Witherspoon was "luckier" and helped "Legally Blonde" to the sky, while Orlando Bloom only stayed in "The Lord of the Rings" as a face and the "elf prince" among some fans.

So being able to star in Sid's "Pirates of the Caribbean" this time is also a godsend for him, not to mention that this is still a straw knife by Sid himself, and the heroine is still an A-level production of Xiaogong Ju Lindsay, what else can go wrong, I am flying dragon riding face——!

Although Sid doesn't like to be blindly optimistic, it's still better than the unanimous downturn that "historically" "Pirates of the Caribbean" suffered before its release.

If those media are to say that they are killing, then Sid is even more afraid.

"Alright, let's stand in a circle. Before the first day of filming, Sid beckoned the main crew to stand together in the studio, and then he looked around at the crowd, some with excitement in their eyes, others nervous, and others with energy.

"Pirates of the Caribbean originated from a rhapsody of mine, not a navy, a pirate!"

"I want to be a free-spirited, uninhibited pirate rather than a boring, conformist 'normal person', and I want everyone to have the same fun on our journey. ”

Hearing Sid's words, everyone couldn't help laughing, and then Sid clapped his hands and said confidently: "So, let's set sail and begin, everyone——!"
