At the same time, the audition work of the crew has been going on slowly, such as the audition for the heroine.

Instead of opting for a public audition, a small internal audition was conducted, including Charlize Theron, Claudia Schiffer, and Jacassie Chastain, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and together there were just over a dozen female actors.

There are no big-name female stars, and the protagonist in the film is Truman, not a group of female characters.

In the end, Ryan personally decided that the hero's wife, played by Charlize Theron, is the most shot female character in the film.

The reason is very simple, since Charlize Theron's acting skills can pass the first round of auditions, Ryan naturally will not refuse a trade.

The second wife arranged by the reality TV director for the male protagonist is a cameo starring Claudia Schiffer, which can be regarded as a reward for enjoying some time ago.

However, she has very few shots, she only needs to show her face, and she can't talk about any important supporting roles.

Another more important role, who is also the hero's beloved and first love, is tentatively scheduled to be played by Jaycasie Chastain.

This is Helen's request, and at the same time it is a kind of compensation for Jacassie Chastain.

Originally, Ryan wanted Monica Bellucci to make a cameo appearance, but her schedule was very tight, and it was difficult to find time, and it was Helen's intercession, so Ryan could only agree temporarily.

As for the time of filming, it depends on the specific situation, if Jacassey Chastain's performance is not satisfactory, then Ryan will definitely choose to make a substitution as soon as possible.

As the time slowly entered May, the crew began to go to Canada in batches, first going to the studio to shoot indoor scenes, and then going to the town to shoot live.

The planners of the entire crew finally got together, and there was no need for the crew to separate the two places.

Ryan remains in the position of producer and director, with Paramount's Gary Luchesi and Lucasfilm's Rick McAllan as executive producers and communicating with Paramount and Lucasfilm, while Gail-Anne Hurd is in charge of the day-to-day work of the crew, and Sofia Coppola and Grigory Hobritt are assistant directors.

A number of producers, assistant directors, and Hollywood crews are the norm.

Sofia Coppola held the script in her hand and said very seriously: "Since the whole film is a reality show, it can't be filmed as usual." ”

Ryan's shooting style has always been sharp, terrifying, and bloody, which is almost diametrically opposed to the style of "Truman's World".

This is also why those film companies want to change directors.

Fortunately, after the filming of "Invasion of Evil Spirits", his style has changed a lot.

Ryan glanced at Sophia, a young woman in literature and art, and was afraid that her idea was to be more literary and artistic, rather than close to commercialization.

"Tell me about your plans!"

Still, Ryan asked.

"With black and white, try to be softer and don't have sharp shots. Sofia Coppola spoke her mind.

Ryan rolled his eyes, didn't continue to pay attention to her, and chose to say his plan directly, saying: "The best way is to increase the audience's sense of substitution by reducing the camera ratio to look more like a TV show, rather than black and white." ”

"Nice idea. Sofia Coppola nodded.

She was not surprised at all by Ryan's plan, maybe the script looked very literary, however, Ryan would definitely compromise on the commercial side during the filming process, rather than making a literary film.

Gail-Anne Hurd chimed in: "I think I can focus on the interior shots first, which saves a lot of time. ”

"There are more choices for choosing the schedule for the future release of the film. ”

With the filming plan of "Truman's World", it will be released in the summer, and it will definitely not be able to catch up.

Then for the rest of the year, only Christmas is the most suitable.

Of course, you can also choose to release it in March next year, and the spring file is also a good time.

Gary Luchesi and Rick McAllan glanced at each other, and Gary Luchesi spoke, "I agree with Ms. Gale's suggestion to focus on the interior shots first and try to save some time." ”

"In this way, whether you choose the Christmas schedule or the spring release next year, it is a good choice. ”

As for next year's summer file!

Obviously, Paramount doesn't think "Truman's World" is suitable for summer competition.

"The release schedule is tentatively set for Christmas. Ryan still thinks the Christmas schedule is more appropriate, saying, "You can change some of the shooting plans appropriately." ”

The original shooting plan was very loose in terms of time, and it took half a year.

However, Ryan feels that the time can be shortened to 4 to 5 months.

Of course, this is not the preliminary preparation of the crew, only the filming time.

In this way, it is entirely possible to be released in time for Christmas.

Although the time is a bit rushed, it should not be too much of a problem.

"On the shooting time, there should be no problem. Sofia Coppola thought for a moment and said.

"But I need to remind you that Saw 3 may also be released at Christmas. ”

Hearing this, Gregory Hobrit's heart was relieved, and Sophia said what he wanted to say but didn't say.

In terms of investment in "Saw 3", he has been negotiating with Twentieth Century Fox, and Ryan hopes that the investment ratio will remain unchanged from the previous "Saw 2".

However, the two sides have not reached a final agreement, and it will take some time to negotiate.

However, on the release schedule of the film, the two sides have reached a consensus that it is expected to be released on the Christmas schedule

As a result, the two films will inevitably face a competition.

"Let people inform Twentieth Century Fox that the release schedule of "Saw 3" will be set on Halloween or Thanksgiving, staggering the release time. Ryan made a quick decision.

"Gao Li, I'm very sorry, I'm afraid you need to leave the crew early. ”

The director of the next "Saw 3" is still Gregory Hoblit.

"I can't wait. Gregory Hobritt did not complain in the slightest, but was vaguely excited.

Ryan needed to shoot "Truman's World", which means that he didn't have time to work as a producer for "Saw 3", and he could shoot it as he wanted.

If Ryan knew what he was thinking, he would have to sneer, "Saw 3" was filmed in a studio in Canada, except for some outdoor scenes, which needed to be filmed in the murder house.

Ryan needs to take care of it himself, and at least for a long time, he can't let the filming of the "Saw" series of films go unchecked.

He didn't want the slightest accident with the cash cows.
