Chapter 614 Cyber Protagonist Group
“It is reported that Andrew Garfield, who became popular after starring in "Transformers", has joined Gilbert Jr.'s drama project."
"Scarlett ·Johansson was the first actor to join the cast. After returning from promotion in Europe, Scarlett Johansson couldn’t wait to join the project.”
"Dwayne Johnson, a well-known WWE player who once starred in the "Spellbound" series, recently expressed that he really, really likes working with Gilbert Jr. and is expected to star in this unknown drama project..."
"British action actor Jason Statham said that he received a call from Gilbert Jr. personally, hoping that he could play a role."
Although summer movies continue to be popular, Warner Bros. and Disney also need to give Gilbert Jr.'s drama projects some hype.
Not to mention the fact that a famous movie director went to film a TV series, this topic is still highly discussed.
Little Gilbert also cooperated and released several concept pictures on his social account, including a classic picture of a man holding a gun next to a motorcycle, with a bustling city in front of him.
There is also a picture of the prosthetic Mantis Blade and a picture of an aerial vehicle flying.
These concept design pictures instantly attracted a lot of discussion among movie fans. The strong sense of cyberpunk technology can be seen from the art style.
At the same time, Gilbert Jr. also announced the title of the film on his social account, called "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker."
“This is the first time there is a story about the cyberpunk world. Starting with the protagonist David, we will go deep into a city where high technology, crime, and poverty are rampant.
Walkers, want to Become famous all over the world, or be a nobody?”
With the promotional pictures and these powerful words, many fans were instantly moved, and all the comments below were about becoming famous all over the world.
Of course, there are also sane movie fans who think this is not a good choice. It is not impossible for film directors to make dramas, but fans are worried that this subject matter will not be popular.
Ridley Scott had made a similar "Blade Runner" before, and at that time it was a typical example of a success but not a box office hit. There has been talk of a sequel for so many years, but it just hasn't come out.
This issue is not only worrying for movie fans, the "Hollywood Reporter" made this point clearly: "We believe in Gilbert Jr.'s ability to tell stories, but it turns out that the cyberpunk theme is a niche theme.
This time is another limited series project with huge investment. As a film director, there is still a question mark whether Gilbert Jr. can control it well. ”
Faced with this question, Gilbert Jr. said this at the internal meeting of the project: "I think that the previous cyberpunk-themed stories were too esoteric, and could even be said to be pretentious.
< br>The 1982 "Blade Runner" was limited by the technology and expressiveness of the time, coupled with the difficulty in understanding the plot, which affected the film itself to a certain extent
Today, the film has gradually become a recognized science fiction classic, and the unfair criticisms of the year have been vindicated.
To some extent, our script has been changed to be more suitable for commercial elements. Without discussing those high-tech elements, the core theme of the film is only one: survive and become a legend. ”
Having said that, it will take a lot of effort to become a legend in the City of Night. The only way to become a legend is to die spectacularly.
In Xiaoji After Bert set the basic tone, the selection of actors slowly began.
First of all, the actors mentioned in the media are basically confirmed to participate in the film. Unexpectedly, it is the villain Adam Hammer
The character played by Jason Statham is Mann, the captain of the mercenary team. Anyway, the direction of the series adaptation is definitely very different from that of the anime, so the choice of actor for Gilbert can be said to be arbitrary.
Rebecca's brother, Pyrrha, was Paul Bettany recommended by Jon Favreau, who voiced the artificial intelligence Jarvis in "Iron Man". The actor playing the role of Dolio is quite special. She is a professional boxer, a real female boxer, Ann Wolfe. She retired from boxing this year and currently works as a trainer, training Hollywood actors.
After knowing that little Gilbert needed a strong female role, Nicolas Cage recommended Ann Wolfe. He was a boxing fan of Ann Wolfe.
For the role of Falco, considering that the island country drama needs the island country market, and there are many island country elements in the film, an island country actor Tomokazu Miura was chosen.
This candidate was recommended by Noriko Sakai. When she recommended it, she told little Gilbert that she liked "The Dancing Girl of Izu" starring Miura Yuka, an old movie from 1975.
And little Gilbert's several little lovers from the island country were all stuffed in by little Gilbert in various ways. The two who have more scenes are Ishihara Satomi and Fukada Kyoko, and the other three are just a bit more soy sauce.
As for the role of Rebecca, which has a lot of scenes, little Gilbert's requirements for this role are to be cute enough, beautiful enough, and petite.
So many tall and long-legged actresses were eliminated, and little Gilbert did not want to use unknown actors.
He hopes that the actor who plays Rebecca has a certain degree of popularity, at least a face that is familiar to the audience.
Originally, this role was actually going to Emma Watson, but Emma Watson disliked it being a supporting role in a series, especially a supporting role for Scarlett Johansson. I also had to film "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" so I declined.
There was no way, but in the end, little Gilbert held a small-scale audition.
"Hey, hello, Director Gilbert." A petite, strange woman stopped in front of Gilbert.
Little Gilbert was confused: "You are?"
At this time, Ivanka next to him was surprised: "Kim? Why did you come to the audition?"
" What? Can’t I?”
Little Gilbert asked doubtfully: "Do you know each other?"
"It doesn't count, I have met him a few times at several cocktail parties in New York." Ivanka explained: "This is Kim Carday Shan, the daughter of Robert Kardashian.”
Little Gilbert suddenly realized that when he heard this name, he remembered it, not because Robert Kardashian was the lawyer in the Simpson murder case. Because Kim Kardashian has a tape next year.
Next year it will not only be Teacher Chen’s photo, Teacher Chen will quit the entertainment industry because of this photo. Kim Kardashian entered the entertainment industry because of the video, which I have to say is magical.
Little Gilbert also observed and tasted the products. To be honest, the photos taken were not very clear, and they were less interesting than the later European and American products.
"Ms. Kardashian, what is this?" Little Gilbert asked.
Kim Kardashian replied naturally: "I think I am very suitable to be an actor, so I will give it a try."
"Really? Then go for it!"
Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows but didn't take it to heart. Kim Kardashian was not suitable for this role, even if she was less than 1.6 meters tall.
