"Sally, even if I don't object, you can't play Erin Warnos right now!"

Seeing that she couldn't be dissuaded, Charlotte simply analyzed for Charlize,

"Not to mention anything else, if the movie doesn't get the approval of the serial killer himself, even if it is barely filmed, it will not be successful. ”

"Definitely. ”

Charlize nodded, and it was a difficult question.

In the United States, changing a movie based on real people and real events does not require the consent of the person or his immediate family.

This is especially true for Hollywood, which likes to emphasize the freedom of filming.

But on the other hand, you have the freedom to shoot, and people have the freedom to sue you

Even if the crew has asked for the consent of the parties or their families before filming, if the result of the filming is too far away from people's expectations, they will take the crew to court.

Not to mention the crews that haven't been asked for permission?

Over time, Hollywood has developed a fixed view of this kind of film based on real people, that is, biopics

Try not to shoot the living!

On the one hand, once the person himself opposes, the blow to this kind of biopic is almost devastating, which is far more powerful than the opposition of the family;

On the other hand, the story of a living person generally means that the time of the incident is not far enough away, and many people may have relevant memories

To put it simply, the audience is not easy to deceive!

That's right, it's just not easy to deceive.

Think about it, how can a person's life, whether it is magnificent or inactive, be able to express it clearly in just 90 to 120 minutes?

In particular, for the audience's viewing experience, the movie story will be deliberately set up in a classic three-stage structure with ups and downs......

In fact, the biopic, although it is under the banner of adapting from real people and real events, is essentially the same as what everyone is watching, which is "this story is pure fiction, if there are similarities, it is purely a coincidence"......

If such a biographical story is seen by an audience who knows some facts, how can it not be despised, how can it not cause controversy?

Although controversy is a means of movie hype, unlike some commercial films that are not afraid of bad word-of-mouth at all, biopics are more serious literary films after all.

Once the reputation is messed up because of hype, the future of literary films is bleak......

Therefore, biopics often like to choose some controversial people as the target, but they will do their best to avoid controversy.

At the very least, you should avoid the controversy of "unreal" shooting.

That's why Hollywood doesn't like to make biographical stories of living people.

It's so hard to get alive!

And Erin Warnos is just a living person.

Although he is a living person who is imprisoned and is waiting for the court to pronounce his fate.

"However, Erin Warnos's case is still on trial, right?"

Charlotte touched her chin and pondered,

"It is very common for this kind of super big case to be tried for a long time, and it is not impossible to drag on for even seven or eight years. ”

Especially considering the cumbersome judicial system in the United States, and the different legal systems in different states, Charlotte feels more and more that this possibility is very high.

"In this way, as long as Erin Warnos doesn't let go, it will be difficult for this project to officially start!"

Charlotte shrugged,

"If you force it to start, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the date of the other party's death sentence is confirmed!"

As mentioned earlier, it is very troublesome to take biographies of living people. If the person objected, Hollywood generally did not force the project to begin

They will wait patiently until the living are dead.

Then, it's time to get into what they're good at......

Specific to the story of Erin Warnos, in Charlotte's original world, the same is true

Erin Warnos was executed on October 9, 2002, and the movie "The Witch" was released on December 17, 2003.

The film broke away from the rambling preliminary preparations and was officially set up for filming, which also took the death of Erin Warnos as a turning point.

In this, not only Erin Warnos's repeated refusals, but also the strong opposition of the US judicial department

They can't allow a movie that glorifies a serial killer to be released, especially if the serial killer's trial is not yet final.

After all, the United States has a jury system.

These are not professional jury members, but they do have a brain twitch from time to time.

In the unlikely event that a film about Erin Warnos is released before the verdict and someone on the jury sees it in advance, there is no guarantee that no one will be sympathetic, even if there is a professional judge in charge......

So, it wasn't until 2002 when Erin Warnos was executed by lethal injection that the U.S. justice department finally opened up to the movie about her.

And the current time is still 1995.

Not to mention the execution of the death penalty, it is still several years before the verdict of the case is concluded.

"Not to mention whether Erin Warnos herself agrees or not, even if she is willing, the judiciary will definitely strongly oppose it. ”

Charlotte simply stated his conclusion, which was originally the fact of his original world,

Without their support, it would have been basically impossible to investigate Erin Warnos's profile and psychological state, which was very detrimental to writing the script. ”

"In other words, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for Erin Warnos to be executed before I can start a movie about her?"

"Yes. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"But when she dies, I'm afraid it won't be possible in a few years, that is to say, Sally, even if everything goes well, it will be years before you can get this role. ”

"Maybe it is. ”

Charlize shook his head a little distressedly, and then his face became serious again,

"But even so, I still want this role!"

"Is it worth it?"

The girl nodded.

"Alright, then leave it to me!"

Charlotte sighed helplessly,

"I'm going to get Erin Warnos dead as soon as possible!"

“tf！！！”

Because of Charlotte's sudden decision, Charlize couldn't help but burst into foul language,

"Why did you suddenly think of such a terrible thing?"

Especially, considering his strange spells, the girl thought that he could really do it.

"I'm not going to kill someone for a movie role!"

"Even someone like Erin Warnos?"

"Yes. ”

The girl nodded,

"At least I don't think it's necessary. ”

"Really?"

Charlotte nodded and smiled.

"I'm actually joking. It seems that Sally, you are not the kind of actor who has no other actors in your eyes except acting!"

"yes!"

Charlize sighed, seemingly dissatisfied with himself. But the expression on Charlotte's face was happy,

"Don't be sad, it's a good thing!"

He put his hand on the girl's face, and said,

This shows that you are not the kind of empty shell that can only interpret others, and you still have your own life. ”
