Hollywood legendary director

The original actors of "Batman: The Dark Knight", such as Michael Kane, Kate Beckinsale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, etc., have basically contracted before the third week of October Get it done.

In this, because of the number of scenes and the willingness to participate, it adds up to only about 13 million, and the highest salary is not more than 5 million US dollars.

In the core clauses, there are basically supplementary plans for cooperating with publicity, so don't break the black material during shooting.

For Warner, this is very necessary.

Maintaining the positive image of the project has many benefits.

After all, few viewers should have a positive sense of negative news about their favorite movies.

In the Internet age, black material is more difficult to suppress, and we must be cautious and warn.

Involving hundreds of millions of cakes, any safeguard measures are understandable.

At least, the actors will not object.

In addition, Christian Bale has to do scientific and methodical fitness in order to maintain his body and muscles.

This means that he will have to maintain a certain amount of exercise and pay attention to his diet for several months.

Of course, he is used to it.

After all, gaining muscle is much easier than getting thinner.

As for Kate, who plays Rachel, her recent career finally has no luck.

This year’s "Undernight Tale 2: Evolution" has passed the 100 million threshold globally and won 111.3 million, because North America has a higher domestic box office and is not very popular overseas. Compared with the spending of 50 million, there is still a profit from offline—— The "Underworld" series, like many horror movies, sells well on DVD.

Of course, "Batman: The Dark Knight" is still a good project choice for her. After all, the production of more than 170 million US dollars...

As for the role candidates of "The Dark Knight", the entertainment news that many audiences would be interested in and the media would like to report, seeing the main creators reconfirmed, it also caused a wave of excitement.

For fans, is it not a blessing to continue to see familiar faces on the big screen?

In this regard, Firefly and Warner did not specifically blockade them. Under the pervasive media spy or active guidance, many hot topics have been spread well in all aspects.

Just like the few roles that have not yet been determined in the original time and space, the newly added role scenes, such as the clown and the prosecutor Harvey, also have many actors who have actively jumped out to express their willingness to play. I don't know.

For example, Hugh Jackman, who worked with Christian Bell and Nolan once, immediately spoke up, and Ryan Philip, Levi Schreiber and Josh Lucas all publicly expressed interest in the role of Prosecutor Harvey. .

As for the clown, you should know that Nolan intends to put this villain on the big screen, such as Robin Williams, Ricky Halmi and other old actors, and Paul Bettany and Adrian Brody. It’s not a question of whether the middle-aged acting school is willing or not. The cooperation request was sent directly to the Firefly Building and handed over to Nolan.

In the days that followed, I received a lot of similar letters every day, well-known and unknown. Many actors did not want to miss such investment quotas and succeeded once, and promising movie works.

However, Nolan paid little attention to these.

In other words, because of the problem of high production budgets and the need to reduce risk, Nolan himself knows that the salary of actors must be controlled.

He can also be regarded as a director who does not blindly pursue high-profile actors.

Being good at calculating this title, it's really right to put it on him.

Even so eagerly chased, Nolan remained calm and was not lost by falsehood.

Of course, this does not mean that he has to refuse all.

Those who are too expensive, such as Robin Williams, who are very successful actors, may not be able to hire them, and others can still try the mirror.

Just as Nolan was making meticulous selections for the remaining roles, Lyman was not idle.

In other words, Nolan also wants to know who he wants to play the clown.

After all, this character is really challenging. Let’s not say that it is crazy to portray it for the plot. This kind of powerful villain who can compete with Bruce Wayne and even often makes Batman lose out in the comics also makes many Fans are impressed and admire it.

Therefore, Nolan himself has no specific actor candidates, and only hopes to keep auditioning and find a suitable one.

However, Lyman took the errand himself, and vowed to guarantee that it was absolutely not bad...

In addition, "The Dark Knight" is still filming in the United Kingdom and the United States.

After all, it would be a pity not to take advantage of the UK's tax refund policy if conditions permit.

The most important thing is that Nolan is British. His team is naturally mainly British, and it happens to be able to obtain the greatest administrative support from the British government, such as blocking streets and coordinating scenery...

All this requires a certain sense of personal connections and identity, which Lehman felt deeply in France, and Nolan's reputation in the UK is not worse than him.

In any case, there is no luxury enough to put such convenient resources not to use.

Of course, there is still a long time before the filming started.

Because Nolan proposed to rent an IMAX format camera to take some shots. There are only two such cameras in the United States. Let’s not talk about familiar or unfamiliar issues. The rental fee alone is quite high. The camera is too expensive.

However, Nolan has such an idea. He wants to make the shots more visual and three-dimensional, so he has to be satisfied.

He was like a kid who got a big toy. Apart from the routine audition, he quickly became addicted to the immersion of the IMAX format and couldn't help himself.

One after another disturbed, another weekend passed.

Speaking of it, this is the fifth week of the release of "Deadly Magic".

As time went by, the inevitable showings declined quickly.

On the fifth weekend, with 855 screens, less than two games, and a harvest of 2.52 million US dollars (three days on the weekend), this result has entered the stage of drawing.

However, at this time, the film accumulated more than 70 million in North America, more than 22 million overseas, with a total box office of more than 92 million, and the distance broke 100 million and less than 8 million.

In the remaining one or two weeks, it is not difficult to rely on overseas regions to slowly accumulate.

Considering the gap between the publicity resources and Warner, but because Lehman selected the schedule well and didn't encounter any valuable works, in comparison between the two, you should be able to touch the results of the previous life, even if not, it is not much worse go with.

In other words, this movie is not suitable for large-scale publicity.

Because of the subject matter, Nolan's grasp of the suspenseful atmosphere has played a very good effect with such a strong box office trend.

And the news about "The Dark Knight" stimulated the popularity of this film, otherwise there would be no media attention.

After all, after Blue Butterfly Pictures reduced its cinema chain by half, it has no longer spent money to maintain a certain media layout.

Just wait for the painting, arrange the offline market and the operation of copyright surroundings, and share money with the theater.

In the process of gradually reducing the resources of the film, many new films have appeared during the schedule.

Among them, the North American version of "Infernal Affairs" remade by director Martin, won 27 million US dollars in the first weekend, as an Olympic movie, so the box office even refreshed Martin Scorsese's first week box office record-Colin this The character wanted to look for Brad Pitt to play, but Ya refused because the script character was an undercover and negative image.

Then, he achieved another beautiful record of Matt Damon becoming a superstar.

Movies like this kind of word-of-mouth and double-blooming at the box office are actually very difficult to meet, let alone an Olympic movie...

Feeling missed a billion.

Even after three weeks of screening, this film still dominates the box office chart.

And the second place is Clint Eastwood’s Okinawa’s "Flags of Fathers", which is also the sister edition of "The Book of Iwo Jima", but that one is due to the continuous pressure and pressure from Japan. Money, from a Japanese perspective, tells the battle of Iwo Jima more objectively-in fact, there is a suspicion of whitewashing, but who will let people give more money.

After all, before the Battle of Iwo Jima, the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor that shocked the United States was initiated by the Japanese...

On the ranking list of the week on October 24, the film also ranked second with 13.675 million. As for "Fatal Magic", it fell out of the top ten early, and there was no capital to compete...
