Daniel confirmed that Spy 3 will be the last Bourne film he starred in, and that he will say goodbye to the successful series. On F2F, Daniel said that it was time to say goodbye to the role of the elf prince in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. According to this newspaper, "Spy Shadow" was originally designed as a trilogy, based on Rudrum's novel. But after its impressive success, Universal Pictures hopes to continue making a sequel to make it a longest-running franchise. It's a pity that whether it is the director of the first three films, Doug . Liman and Paul. Griglas, and Daniel, the superstar, refused to add more risk to the success.

According to current news, Universal Pictures plans to invite new actors and directors to create the fourth "Spy". Damon, Jeremy. Reina, Jack. Gyllenhaal and Michael. Fassbinder and others are all candidates for the new agent. And the story will develop from Eric's 7 Bourne novels. However, it is foreseeable that this plan will be met with considerable backlash. People will ask Universal Pictures to change its name -- stop calling it "Spy."

And insiders revealed that Daniel's abandonment of the sequel to "Spy Shadow" may not be just tired and thinking that it is time to end. The more important reason may be the unexpected popularity of "Night at the Museum", which made him finally decide to abandon "Spy", which is not part of DD Pictures, and since becoming famous, Daniel has starred in three series - probably in the top of the greatest film series of the new century, including "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Spy". These three series are all acclaimed and acclaimed, "The Lord of the Rings" won 2.9 billion box office worldwide, making Daniel a real global idol superstar, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has just become the second highest grossing movie in history with a single box office of 1.2 billion! Second only to James. Cameron's "Titanic", it is worth mentioning that James's new film. It was Daniel who participated in the investment and starred in. The third place is "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". And the "Spy Shadow" series may be the spy war movie with the best reputation, and the box office is also proud.

Of the three series, "The Lord of the Rings" has ended, but "Pirates" has only made the second part, breaking 1 billion in a single film, and importantly, DD Pictures has one-third of the investment rights, so it will not be abandoned, if it is said to make way for new films. I am referring to "Wonderful Night at the Museum", which won nearly 700 million box office worldwide at a cost of less than 20 million, and it must be "Spy Shadow".

Considering Daniel's tendency to reduce production and the lack of motivation after winning three Oscars, it makes all the more sense to give up "Spy". ”

The Hollywood Reporter's in-depth analysis explains the reasons behind this unexpected incident.

At this time, in an office in Burbank.

Robert. Iger and his assistant smiled, "We should be glad that he was involved in investing in Pirates of the Caribbean, right?" ”

The assistant brought in the newspaper. Also knowing what was reported above, to be honest, deep down in his heart, he really thought so. If it weren't for the fact that DD Pictures had one-third of the investment rights, why would Daniel definitely give up "Spy Shadows"? You must know that compared to Universal Pictures, his relationship with Disney is even worse.

However, Robert was visibly upset, and the assistant did not dare to speak his mind.

Robert didn't actually feel much upset either. He was just thinking about Daniel and Pirates of the Caribbean. From the very beginning, Gore. Verbinski and Johnny. Depp. Then there is the 30% investment rights, then the income from Disney's purchase of the investment rights of the first part, and then there is the contradiction about whether to shoot the second and third parts in a row, and Daniel's "pickiness" about the script of the second part - although it seems that Daniel's opinion is correct.

If you insist on using Gore. Verbinski and Johnny. Depp, will it be more beneficial to Disney?

At least it won't be like facing Daniel, money, can't move him, he has more money than Disney's shareholders, fame and fortune, not to mention more needless to say, is there anyone more famous than him? All the conditions governing an actor will be completely invalid in Daniel, which makes Disney completely unable to obtain more guarantees.

Today Daniel can give up "Spy", another day, can't he give up "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Joining DD Pictures and having a new series?

As the CEO of Disney, he knows the cooperation model of "Night at the Museum", and he also knows that Daniel will definitely shoot the sequel on his own.

In fact, Fox also knew, and the other studios also understood, because it was a decision that everyone would make - that day, Fox Senior Vice President Mark, chased James's studio for this reason. Unfortunately, he confirmed Daniel's decision, but he couldn't change it.

This feeling of powerlessness was something Robert didn't like.

"Maybe we can look at the results of the world."

However, he was clearly going to be disappointed.

After the sources cited by The Hollywood Reporter were disseminated, opposition to the sequel to "Spy Heavy" was far greater than Universal thought.

"Universal forgot that not only did they have to face fans of the Spy series, but they also had to face Daniel. Sandler's fans! ”

In an interview, a public relations expert commented on the turmoil faced by Universal Pictures.

"Even though Daniel stood up and spoke up for them, fans weren't always that obedient, and Daniel couldn't influence everybody's approach — and that's the problem for Universal."

Another film critic has set his sights on another aspect.

"This series with an outstanding reputation, the sudden outbreak of influence this time is shocking, compared to "Pirates" and "The Lord of the Rings", the fans of this series are a little weaker, and now it seems that the weakness is not very accurate, and it is more appropriate to describe it as silent. When they are not silent, the impact they exert is considerable. Perhaps Daniel and Universal, from a business perspective, should consider continuing to tap into its potential. ”

However, fans will not think about Universal Pictures from a commercial point of view, and their opposition is getting louder, from social networking sites, official websites, movie forums and other Internet fields, all the way to Universal's office in Century City.

Within Universal, there is growing doubt about whether this incident will affect other projects at Universal.

When the turmoil was getting stronger and stronger, and there was no sign of subsidence, Universal temporarily conceded defeat.

"We've decided to put this project on hold for now, and we're going to do our best to get the original team back together, and until then, we've decided not to shoot a sequel to Spy Heavy!"

Robert. Egger didn't say anything for a long time.

He also wanted to see how "Spy" performed without Daniel, and as a result, it was directly aborted! (To be continued.) )
