Chapter eight hundred and ninety first ready to move

Not only Simon Pegg and Daniel Craig, but also Michael Fassbender and Hugo Weaving also want to make guest appearances in the film. The role is not important, the important thing is to let Star Wars fans like them truly Be part of this video.

Not to mention these Hollywood movie stars, even some members of Congress have sent letters to Lucasfilm, hoping that they can also participate in the filming, even if it is just a masked stormtrooper.

As long as it doesn't affect the shooting, Duke will not let go of such a good opportunity to sell favors.

Although the work of the crew has been kept strictly confidential, with the start of large-scale auditions, some relevant news will inevitably spread out and become the focus of entertainment media reports. This is also beneficial, even if the secrecy is maintained The strategy of Star Wars 7, which arouses the interest of Star Wars fans around the world, also needs to be warmed up.

The producer, Lucasfilm, and the distributor, Warner Bros., have also worked out a detailed publicity strategy with the cooperative media.

Instant sharing news, Star Wars 7, which is scheduled to start filming in April this year, is currently stepping up casting. At present, some people familiar with the matter have revealed that in the New Star Wars story, Luke Skywalker's son, Princess Leia and Han Solo's daughter will be the protagonist. Previous rumors said that, based on the current hot teen movie background, director Duke Rosenberg and his team wanted to take the youthful route of Star Wars 7, a female The version of the Jedi will be the heroine, and it looks like that news is going to come true.

Currently, many actresses are already auditioning, and it is rumored that one of them has already read the script. She is Rachel Harwood, a British girl who has starred in films such as Perfume, American Horror Story, and Peter Pan. In terms of leading actor, handsome British guy Alex Pettyfer is most likely to win. He has starred in films such as Wild Child, Key No. 4, and Beast Boy. Both of them are born in the 90s, Their common characteristics are - members of the Foreign Trade Association. Teenage idols with outstanding acting skills among actors of the same age.

According to George Lucas' revelation yesterday, 'Captain Han Solo' Harrison Ford, 'Luke Skywalker' Mark Hamill and 'Princess Leia' Carrie Fisher have also signed contracts Agree to return, but he has no right to make decisions about the specific roles of the three, it depends on the director Duke Rosenberg's idea.

The script of Star Wars 7 was written by Duke Rosenberg himself, and the screenwriters of Star Wars II: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars III: Return of the Jedi were written by Lawrence Kasdan and Sherlock Holmes Screenwriter Simon Kinberg served as script consultant. In terms of soundtrack, John Williams, the composer of the first six Star Wars, has confirmed to return. In addition, Duke Rosenberg also brought his queen photographer John? Schwartzman joined the Star Wars team and used IMAX technology to shoot and produce Star Wars 7 throughout.

After Duke Rosenberg bought Lucasfilm, he obviously wanted to make good use of its resources. In addition to the opening shot of Star Wars 7, Star Wars 8 and Star Wars 9 have also been released. In preparation, and plans to release one every two years. In addition, Lucasfilm also plans to make a separate Star Wars extra-length movie. It will be released in the middle of the '7-8-9 trilogy', which is also It means that Lucasfilm will launch a movie related to Star Wars every year.

Since Star Wars 7 was announced to be filmed, there has been little conclusive and certain official news. Whether it is the media or the concerned fans, they are tortured by endless rumors and casting possibilities.

The emergence of this news report. It immediately attracted the attention of countless people, but it also aroused the dissatisfaction of some veteran Star Wars fans. It is self-evident that the commercial flavor of Star Wars movies is released at such a high frequency. These people are concerned that Duke's overly commercial move will ruin the series.

However, Duke invested a huge sum of more than four billion U.S. dollars in the acquisition of Lucasfilm, and it is the nature of commercial capital to chase profits. It is impossible for him to just sit back and watch this treasure trove of wealth slowly recover the cost of investment after he gets the Star Wars series. That is simply impossible.

The dollar is constantly depreciating, and the time cost is also part of the cost.

As for whether it will squeeze the potential of the Star Wars series too much. Duke is not worried, as long as the quality of the film is guaranteed, these are not problems. The few Star Wars he set up and shot are no worse than the Clone Wars.

Duke ignored these voices at all, and just made every effort to prepare for this Star Wars 7.

He first met with Harrison Ford, as reported by the media, after a difficult negotiation, Harrison Ford finally signed the star on the actor contract of Star Wars 7, Lucasfilm For this, he paid 20 million U.S. dollars in remuneration. The only thing that can make Duke feel relieved is that in the face of the huge 20 million U.S. dollars in remuneration, Harrison Ford and his agent finally compromised, and the contract signed between the two parties did not involve any into.

Paying an actor $20 million is a rarity in Duke's films, and only three people have ever paid that amount for one of his films in the past -- Tom Cruise, Charlize • Theron and Leonardo DiCaprio.

There is always a bias in people's hearts. The relationship between the latter three and Duke is not a simple business cooperation. Tom Cruise is his partner and his daughter is his goddaughter; Charlize Theron and Leonardo Dee Caprio is one of the few friends in his circle; Harrison Ford has little to do with his past.

Lucasfilm wants to shoot more than just a Star Wars 7. If Han Solo continues to exist, Duke will definitely pay more in the future. This is something neither he nor Lucasfilm wants to see. What happened, so Duke fine-tuned the existing script.

And the result of this adjustment is to directly kill Han Solo...

There may be fans complaining or even cursing after the film is released, but in the face of commercial interests, these are nothing.

Besides, the entire story of Star Wars is the history of grievances and hatreds of the Skywalker family. It is quite normal for Han Solo to be killed by his own son and descendants of Skywalker.

Members of the Skywalker family could not withstand the temptation of the dark side of the Force and turned to the dark side; on the other hand, members of the Skywalker family represented the bright side of the Force to save the galaxy. This is actually the overview of Star Wars.

Having said that, the Force can be regarded as a generous gift from Anakin Skywalker to future generations.

According to Duke's understanding of the Eastern way of thinking, the Force is so mysterious that it is hard to say. According to the packaging of Pablo Hidalgo, a living encyclopedia recognized by Star Wars fans, the Force is described as a kind of power that only life can produce. There is an energy field, there is an atmosphere where all living beings are equal, and all living beings are equal-the person who bears the force is not necessarily a Jedi knight.

There are many rules of the Jedi Knights. In the good old days, setting up tents and apprentices paid attention to formality: the elders had to inspect the goods, and the apprentices had to be respectful.

This test is really sad, Anakin, a genius in heaven, was still rejected as too old; the Jedi Knights were not far behind, and the older youth Luke was still taken under the door.

We all know that the Force is divided into dark and light sides.

In today's Hollywood rules of the game, bad guys can often determine the success or failure of a blockbuster. The success and glory of the Star Wars series cannot avoid the contributions of Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Count Dooku and Palpatine to the galaxy epic. contribution.

Aside from being unable to be immortalized as a Jedi hero, the dark side of the Force seems more attractive than the bright side.

In Duke's setting, Star Wars 7 is darker than the Star Wars trilogy, and even surpasses Star Wars: Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, although the villains in the setting and the news reports are darker. Luke's son is very different, but also a member of the Skywalker family, Duke also went out of his way to find him a pair of hero parents.

Of course, there will still be two main villains, which is related to Star Wars' setting of Sith.

According to the rule of two set by the Lord of the Sith, Darth Bane, apprentices can be exchanged at a water price—for example, Darth Sidious had Darth Moore, Earl Dooku, and Ah Nagin - but there can only be two partners in the team, so in addition to the villains of the Skywalker family, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes.

As for the representative of the bright side of the Force in the film, it is naturally the heroine. This is also the first true female Jedi master.

Just like Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, this female Jedi master also comes from a famous family. In the Star Wars series of movies, inheritance is very important.

All the preparatory work is going on in an orderly manner. Compared with the previous movies, Duke pays more attention to the casting work of Star Wars 7. He will never let Haicheng? Actors such as Christensen and Natalie Portman have a tragic reenactment.

Especially the hero and heroine, the actors for these two roles, only he has the right to decide.

Rachel Harwood, as reported by the media, was kicked out by Duke after her initial audition. Her image and acting skills were not bad, but her height was a problem.

Duke's ideal heroine should be at least five feet seven inches tall, and not too thin and thin.

Those pole-thin actresses playing a powerful female Jedi are not convincing by any means.

Since the title and characters of Star Wars 7 are in the confidential stage, the audition leaflets issued by the crew in the media and circles all use proxies.

For example, the male and female protagonists to be selected are code-named Rachel and Thomas, and they are both young people in their 20s.

Although all of them use aliases, Hollywood has a mature brokerage system. It is not difficult for these actor agents to find out that this is the hero and heroine of Star Wars 7. They are also very clear about what such a role can bring.

Due to the natural limitations of roles, actresses from the five English-speaking countries of the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand undoubtedly have the most advantages, and actresses from these places are also eager to move. (to be continued ~^~)
