readx;?“ Famous director Duke? Rosenberg's new sci-fi action film has finally confirmed the male lead, and he is Leonardo? DiCaprio, this will be their second collaboration. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"The film is written and directed by Duke, and the plot is still as highly classified as his previous film, and Warner has only said that the film is a 'science fiction film with a contemporary setting', about the 'inner structure of the mind' and 'dreams.'"
Since entering July, Inception has officially established the project, under the control of Warner Bros., the media has continued to hype the news about Duke's new film, even if the hot summer season has not ended, it has also occupied the front page headlines of quite a lot of entertainment media, and easily attracted the attention of quite a few people.
And all kinds of related news are still breaking out.
"Duke? Rosenberg's new film has officially confirmed its title, and Inception - the literal translation of the English title is called the foundation - shows that this is a dream-related subject! It is said that it will be a stream-of-consciousness masterpiece! ”
Dreams are one of the most mysterious beings in people, but movies related to dreams in the past have always been very obscure, just when the public hesitated Duke's choice, Leonardo? DiCaprio was duly pushed out by Warner Bros. for an exclusive interview and to answer the question.
"To be honest, I didn't understand Duke's script too much, and it takes a very smart person to understand it."
Leonardo told Entertainment Weekly, "I think Inception will make a lot of people pick their heads, believe me - because I'm one of them." I don't know where to start, and I don't know what I'm supposed to say. Duke's dream interpretation movie must be very good, because it is very exciting, a lot of action scenes, he is surreal, and it is all under his control. The movie was written by him, and if you ask him, he will surely explain it to you very well. ”
It's exciting! Lots of action scenes!
This is the focus of subsequent media rendering. Many fans were completely relieved after seeing it.
While Duke was preparing for the film, a variety of relevant information was revealed by the media one after another.
"Inception is expected to cost $180 million to produce and will be released in the summer of next year!"
"Joseph? Gordon? Levitt became the successor to Leonardo? After DiCaprio, Duke confirmed the use of the second main actor! ”
"Charlize? Theron in an interview. Claims to continue to star in Duke? Rosenberg's new film ......"
"Scarlett? Johnson and James? Franco passed the audition and will be at Duke? Rosenberg's new film as Leonardo? DiCaprio's assistant! ”
From the very beginning of this project, Warner Bros. has spared no effort to promote the project, and they know very well that with this type of film. There will only be two results: a big pounce or a big sale, but they have enough confidence in Duke, and they are convinced that as long as it is done properly, this must be a billion-dollar masterpiece.
And from the very beginning of the whole propaganda, Warner Bros. has a clear propaganda strategy, which Leonardo mentions when he accepts the propaganda, and the people who follow him do the same when he accepts the propaganda.
Announced in the crew Michael? Kane and Cyrian? After Murphy passed the audition, the two actors were interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter.
Michael who starred in the Batman series as "Alfred the Butler"? Kane admits that he has very few roles in the film, and he is slightly better than a guest actor. The crew was even on high alert for him and didn't let him see the full script.
"They didn't allow me to read the script, I could only read the page I played, and Duke was too mysterious." When talking about his role, Kane simply summed it up, "Leonardo? DiCaprio was planning to do a science experiment, and everyone was assisting him, and that's what I knew. ”
Cillian, who played the role of "Scarecrow"? Murphy has a lot of scenes, but he doesn't talk about the role he plays, just said in general terms. "This is the third film I've worked on with Duke, and he showed me the whole script, and it's very, very complex and amazing, and it takes a lot of intelligence to understand. I can't wait, uh, hopefully it'll come out next year soon. ”
When asked to go into a little more detail about the film, Cillian? Murphy firmly declined, citing "this film is so unique."
"It's a complete innovation, it's not affiliated with any one genre, it's a mix of different elements, and it's all from Duke's imagination. I've never seen anything like it in my lifetime. ”
At the end of July, the crew held the first press conference since the establishment of the project, announcing the cast, and its strong cast made the media and fans stunned.
Leonardo? DiCaprio plays the protagonist Cobb, who is the soul of the team; The new generation of red star Joseph? Gordon? Levitt plays his assistant; James? Franco starred as one of his partners; Mark the Hulk? Ruffalo served as his other assistant; Oscar-winning actress Charlize? Theron stars as his beloved wife; "Black Widow" Scarlett? Johnson plays a college girl named Adrian, who is Leonardo's partner in the play; Japanese actor Ken Watanabe plays the villain Saito ......
Even if such a lineup is placed in the star-studded Hollywood, it is enough to brighten the eyes of the blind, and the degree of sensation it can cause can be imagined.
And this is also the reason why Duke has set a budget of 180 million US dollars, compared to the previous one, almost all of the extra budget is spent on the actor's salary.
Throughout the press conference, the press reporters almost went crazy, because even in star-studded Los Angeles, it is rare for so many stars to appear on the same occasion except for the awards ceremony, especially when they will also star in the same movie.
It's no exaggeration to say that Inception has assembled a fantastic lineup of luxury.
Of course, in addition to the stars, the media is most concerned about the film itself, and at the end of the press conference, almost all the questions were aimed at Duke, the director.
For the sake of publicity, Duke also appropriately mentioned some information about the film, but as in the past, many of them were carefully prepared lies by public relations staff.
"Shooting Inception is going to be the biggest challenge I've ever experienced, we're going to tell a story on a big scale, to make a really brain-burning blockbuster, and I'm going to add something different to the past."
When asked by a reporter about the origin of the film's creativity, Duke did not hesitate to start nonsense according to the publicity plan formulated by Warner, "I hope to have enough time to finish this film, because what I want to express is something that I have been thinking about since I was twenty years old, I have completed the first draft of the script seven or eight years ago, but then the story has progressed much further than I imagined, and it touches on the relationship between real dreams and half-dreams." ”
Speaking of dreams, Duke added, "The human brain produces dreams that can accommodate all real scenes, and the limits of this behavior have not been reached in my research." It's like walking on a beach, you can look around and grab a handful of sand on the beach. I'm trying to test this truth by manipulating 'lucid dreams,' and my script is based on these common and relatively simple truths. The only thing that seems weird about the movie is that technology allows people to hack into other people's brains and share the same dreams with another person at the same time. ”
Another reporter asked about Duke's thoughts on talking to Leonardo? DiCaprio Collaboration Perspective.
"Leo and I are friends, very good friends, I know he is suitable for the extraordinary role in this amazing story, and I also borrowed Leo's image and characteristics when creating this character, Leo joined not only as a big movie star, but also to break the gap of science fiction movies and bring more people into this story."
Saying something that would fit the hype was a breeze for Duke, "Leo always has a lot of ideas, and he thinks from the character's point of view, while also taking into account the role that the character can play in the story and the development of the story as a whole." It's usually a lot of fun to talk to, and it's a big push for the whole shoot, and I think the emotional world of the character drives the story a lot more than it did when it first started. ”
Having said all this, Duke will not expose some of his real thoughts to the media, such as in his plan, Inception will be an action sci-fi film.
That's right, this film is an action sci-fi first and only then something else.
As for the reason, the film's $180 million production cost determines that the final film can only be a popular film, not a niche genre.
In addition, the film was only one year from preparation to release, and Duke did not have so much time and energy to build live sets, and the film will use technology on a large scale, except for a small number of live shots that need to be shot around the world, most of the scenes will be shot in the sound studio of Warner Studios in a green screen situation.
After all, Duke is different from the director he used to be.
The former director was extremely repulsive, believing that computer technology was worthless, but he was as inconsistent as Duke's propaganda words, and he used a lot of production footage or relied on computer technology for what he called live-action scenes in each of his films.
Like Duke, in this circle, in order to promote or establish their own style, many people say and do different things.
Whether it's live-action shooting or computer technology, smart directors never stick themselves to one thing, Duke is not a genius, but he is also not a stupid person, Inception will use a Transformers-like shooting method, some live-action shots with a lot of composite shots. To be continued.
