"The Sixth Sense" has sparked countless topics, and this will be a new challenge for Hugo, from the bold innovation of visual effects on "Independence Day", to the retro meticulousness of "L.A. Confidential", to the first challenge comedy in "Truman's World", Hugo's choice after "Death Row Walk" has repeatedly brought surprises and made history.

Now, Hugo actually chose a horror movie. Actually!

In the 90s, horror movies have almost become synonymous with bloody violence, and the boring routines of flesh and blood, vulgarity and scary have gradually lost the original charm of horror films. Although there are wonderful thriller movies such as "The Silence of the Lambs" and "The Seven Deadly Sins", authentic horror movies are gradually declining.

Received an affirmative reply from Bowei Pictures, "The Supernatural Sixth Sense" will be an authentic retro horror movie. This made everyone exclaim, is Hugo really going to be bloodied and transformed into a screaming prince on the big screen? This makes people really laugh and cry.

Especially considering that this is Hugo's third film as a producer, "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect" have set an insurmountable high benchmark, and after the great success of these two works, Hugo's choice of "The Sixth Sense" is not only unexpected, but also arouses more curiosity, in addition to some uncertainty - not sure whether this work is a wise choice.

As the dust settles on the "sixth sense", Lucasfilm also announced the blockbuster news not far behind: the role of "Star Wars prequel" Obi-Wan Kenoby will be played by British actor Ewan McGregor. McGregor). In an instant, the entire North American market was boiling.

Could it be ...... Hugo gave up "Star Wars Prequel" in favor of "Psychic Sixth Sense"? Or did "Star Wars Prequel" choose the latter between Hugo and Ivan?

At this time, people realized that in the past month or so, everyone was talking about how Hugo would appear in the "Star Wars Prequel", when Rick announced that Hugo would play the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", people did not react immediately, just lamented that Hugo was about to star in a horror movie, until the news of Lucasfilm was announced, people suddenly realized that Hugo's new work is "Supernatural Sixth Sense", not "Star Wars Prequel".

This suddenly made Hugo's decision to play the "supernatural sixth sense" seem even more incredible, "no sane person would make such a choice", this sentence is from a comment of a local radio host, it can be seen that he is a crazy "Star Wars" enthusiast, and Hugo's choice is completely incomprehensible.

That's the current state of affairs across North America. Not to mention "Star Wars" loyal fans, many outsiders can't understand Hugo's choice.

A group of crazy fans gathered in New York's Washington Square to demonstrate, writing in red letters, "Hugo, we're going to kill you", and a black skull was drawn next to it, and these fans were wearing black warrior suits, complete sets of black cloaks and black hoods, completely replicating the shape of the black warriors in the movie, looking like a group of black warriors driving to Washington Square. Everyone has a lightsaber handle in their hand, but since there is no lightsaber, only a handle, it looks very stupid to outsiders. But to avoid that, the idea of a large pile of plastic bombs, plastic guns and plastic knives at their feet could not be more obvious.

This group of fans is not small, there are more than 100 people, and the gathering is huge, attracting students from nearby Columbia University and New York University, and it has become a wonder of the day.

Their actions were undoubtedly an expression of strong dissatisfaction with Hugo, who, in their opinion, could not refuse "Star Wars", not even Hugo. And Hugo rejected the masterpiece in their hearts and chose a "vulgar and terrible" horror movie, which was even more contemptuous and insulting to them, which led to their excesses and directly threatened Hugo's life.

What is even more exaggerated is that their actions have been supported and recognized all over North America, and the huge community of loyal fans of "Star Wars" has played together, expressing their dissatisfaction with Hugo in various ways, and this action has spread in a huge way.

The most famous is a loyal Illinois movie fan, who raised money and published an ad in the Chicago Tribune called "Lancaster Wanted", which only featured a large skull with Hugo's name written on it and "death" written in blood-drenched font underneath, provoking Hugo in this way.

Loyal fans are always the hardest to please, and if Hugo plays Obi-Wan, they will worry that Hugo has destroyed Obi-Wan's sacred image in their hearts, and they will also worry that Hugo will not be able to handle the role; If Hugo rejects Obi-Wan, they will think that Hugo does not know how to lift, and the refusal is disrespectful to "Star Wars".

Now, Hugo has rejected "Star Wars" and opted for a "supernatural sixth sense", which has become an insult! They seem to think that this insult can be alleviated if Hugo chooses a commercial film, and Hugo chooses horror movies that are gradually declining in the market, which is simply an unforgivable sin.

In fact, for avid comic book lovers, enthusiasts, and theater lovers, this is the case, when these themes want to be live-action, fans are conflicted and entangled, on the one hand, they think that the actors selected by the production company are not competent; On the other hand, the refusal of the actors will make them extremely angry.

Now that the nation's most influential franchise is rebooting the prequel, even George Lucas himself is under tremendous pressure, fearing that loyal fans will not be able to accept the prequel, or expect it to be too high; At the same time, he also had to take into account that fourteen years later, the former avid cinephile has grown, but at the same time, the structure of the film market has changed, and he also needs to take into account the young new audience, and how to balance the tastes has also become the biggest problem.

Not to mention Hugo.

The crazy actions of movie fans are becoming more and more exaggerated and gradually starting to derail, which also makes people deeply feel the powerful influence of the "Star Wars" series on American culture, almost two to three generations. In the end, George took the initiative to stand up and said in an interview, "It would be a great honor to be able to work with Hugo, but Hugo and I agreed that we need to focus more on the story of 'Star Wars' itself, present the story of Anakin Skywalker, and lead the audience back into this wonderful world." This time we missed the collaboration, and we are all looking forward to the next one. ”

On the other hand, Hugo also said in an interview, "It is also a huge regret for me to miss the role of Obi-Wan. I'm not an avid Star Wars fan, but I'm a big fan of George Lucas, and hopefully I'll have the privilege of seeking a collaboration in the future. ”

Although both men blurred the focus and did not give clear answers, avoiding the precise reason why Hugo was not able to star in the "Star Wars prequel", they succeeded in soothing the emotions of the fans, and the boiling controversy came to an end for the time being.

Loyal fans said, "This is Hugo's loss, and he will regret it when the time comes." ”

Due to the heated discussion caused by the "Star Wars prequel", the "supernatural sixth sense" stood on the cusp for a while, and people were originally full of curiosity and expectation for this work - after all, Hugo's undefeated record made people full of confidence, especially Hugo's unique vision of the script was trustworthy, which made people full of interest in the story of "Supernatural Sixth Sense".

But now, in the face of the topic of "Star Wars Prequel", "The Sixth Sense" has the upper hand in an all-round way, and has almost been criticized to the fullest, and the shackles of horror movies have been magnified to the extreme.

This led to a discourse in the media that Hugo, after the great successes of "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect", was somewhat overconfident and blinded to the idea that he too could challenge horror cinema - just like the visual effects of "Independence Day" and the glorious rock 'n' roll faith, he had the ability to turn decay into magic. But this self-confidence is fermenting into arrogance, and it is likely that Hugo will suffer his first real Waterloo.

Unlike works such as "Before Sunrise" or "Death Row Prisoner Walking", the theme of "The Sixth Sense" itself has very big constraints, and it is also one of Hugo's most unfamiliar fields, coupled with the development trajectory of horror movies in the nineties, it is impossible to give more confidence to this movie.

In a short period of time, the sense of anti-expectation of the "supernatural sixth sense" plummeted, and people began to doubt the future of the film. This kind of questioning is really a long time gone, Hugo has not been questioned by the media and the audience for a long, long time, but in the context of the arrival of the blockbuster era - just like after the change of dynasty of the "male and female thieves", the entire Hollywood will face a major reshuffle, and many top superstars have fallen directly, and it is logical that Hugo has been questioned.

The discussion about the "sixth sense" was surging for a while, and the unpredictable situation was dizzying, but in fact, the film will not start filming immediately at all, and even if the entire crew is ready, there is still no accurate start schedule. Because "Truman's World" is about to be released, Hugo needs to focus on the promotion of this work first, and the movie will not start until the publicity is over.

A work that is only approved and has no start-up plan at all, but it has become a hot topic in the summer file, which is really a very interesting phenomenon. Of course, as the release schedule of "Truman's World" approaches, the topic of Hugo has gradually shifted from "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" to "Truman's World", no matter what that horror movie will be, at least for now, you can see how this comedy movie will be.
