Chapter 19 Main Casting

But when it comes to the two most important heroes and heroines in the end, even Sid can't help but feel troubled, not that there are too many choices and dazzling, but that he feels that there are no good choices at all!

The casting director submitted an actress who was around 20 years old, because it was the result of four rounds of screening, so the rest were actresses who were somewhat famous in the circle.

Even if Sid hadn't seen it, he had heard of it somewhat.

Like the first candidate on the list, Liv Taylor.

Now twenty-four years old, as a famous Hollywood vase in the current era, although she previously starred in Michael Bay's blockbuster commercial film "Peerless Tribulation", but as the existence of a vase of soy sauce, she did not become as popular as the later Transformers girl.

And now even Liv Taylor has participated in the "Lord of the Rings" series as an elf princess, but in this group movie, her role is not even as good as the flowering of the male vase, Orlando Bloom.

Therefore, when she heard that "Spider-Man" would be directed by Sid himself, she and her agent contacted the crew as soon as possible, strongly hoping to play the role of Mary Jane.

The second candidate turned out to be the original Mary Jane - Kirsten Dunst!

As the earliest debut child star among the post-80s actresses, from the current point of view, Kirsten Dunst is a promising young actress like Natalie Portman.

Whether it was the precocious loli vampire played in "Night Vampire", which first made her famous, or the star journey that was smooth sailing later, she even owned a production company that cooperated with her mother when she was 18 years old last year. Filming when there is a drama, and taking care of your own company when there is no drama.

Oh, and don't forget, she's Spielberg's goddaughter!

Compared with the bumpy and difficult life of Spielberg's other goddaughter, Drew Barrymore, compared with those boys and girls who are desperately working in Hollywood and want to squeeze up, Kirsten Dunst's life is really a "life winner".

Perhaps because of this, the too privileged environment has worn down people's fighting spirit, so she naturally disappeared from Hollywood in history.

Sid frowned slightly and flipped through Kirsten Dunst's profile a few times, and then suddenly "swipe!" and tore off the pages of her profile.

"Director, director!?" "Boss?"

Both the casting director and the assistant director next to him, Justin Lin, were stunned by Sid's behavior without warning.

Sid threw Kirsten's information on the table and shook his head: "It's too ugly to look." โ€

Sid's conclusion made the others laugh uncontrollably, and Justin Lin came over to look at her photo and said, "I think it's okay, Kirsten's performance in "Interview with the Vampire" is amazing." โ€

Sid rolled his eyes and looked at Justin, "Xiaolinzi, have you forgotten the old Chinese saying?" โ€

"You actually know that!?Boss. Justin Lin looked at Sid dumbfounded.

Sid smiled and shrugged, "I understand a little." โ€

"Spider-Man", as the first superhero movie in history to hit the box office, not only proves the value of manga movies, but also has groundbreaking significance for all manga movies.

Sid clearly remembers that even on the other side of the ocean, the audience and the media unanimously praised "Spider-Man" - the story is wonderful, the special effects are good-looking, and the actor is handsome.

If there is any only drawback, it must be the ugly heroine!

It can be said that everyone has as much love for the male protagonist of Spider-Man as much as they hate the ugly and unacceptable heroine. This, coupled with the well-known fact that Kirsten's princess illness was hardly inferior to that of Gwyneth Paltrow, also made Sid intuitively stay away.

The next few candidates are all vase-type actresses similar to Liv Taylor, such as Penelope Cruz, and it wasn't until the last page that Sid discovered an unexpected figure.

"Anne Hathaway?" Sid asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yes, it's a rookie actor. The casting director saw that Sid finally had an interest, and hurriedly explained: "She is 19 years old this year, and she just participated in the heroine of Disney's "Princess Diaries" last year, and this film will be released in August this year. โ€

"Here's a video of her previous auditions. The casting director immediately asked his assistant to turn on the TV and play the video of the finalists.

I saw a tall brown-haired girl standing in front of the camera, although she was a little nervous, she still behaved down-and-out in general, especially when she laughed.

"This girl looks like ......" Justin Lin couldn't help but exclaim as soon as he saw Anne Hathaway in the video.

Julia Roberts. Sid nodded quietly.

"Yes, director, this girl is from Brooklyn, New York, and has the approachability, or tomboy temperament of a metropolitan girl. The casting director nodded again and again, in fact, Anne Hathaway was the most satisfying one among the candidates.

But the previous Kirsten Dunst, because of the deep connections behind her, made her have to be put in the front of the shortlist.

To be honest, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Sid tear up Kirsten's information.

Although Anne Hathaway on the TV is still a little immature, she looks sweet with a sweet smile and bright eyes when playing in front of the camera. There is an Audrey Hepburn-like elegance when she is not smiling, and when she laughs with her big mouth, she is indeed a little bit of Julia Roberts-like down-to-earth.

"It's kind of interesting. Sid smiled and touched his chin, showing a slightly satisfied smile, "Wellโ€”โ€”, okay, let's let Anne Hathaway audition first, and let the makeup artist bring a red wig to help with the audition." โ€

"Audition with a wig?" asked the casting director.

"Yes, that's more intuitive. Sid nodded.

After smoothing out the questions of the other actors, Sid turned his attention to the last, and important, role of Peter Parker.

As the most important character in "Spider-Man", it can be said that the success or failure of Peter Parker determines the success or failure of the movie!

So everyone is cautious and does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

As soon as Sid opened the actor candidate part, the first candidate was Tobey Maguire!

I have to say that the experience of the casting director is indeed sophisticated, just based on Sid's requirements of "a small face, a temperament that is both good and evil, and a warm and sunny smile", he accurately found the 26-year-old baby-faced actor, Tobey Maguire.
