Be as real as possible
Fifty years ago in history, that is, in 1957, the former Soviet Union launched the world’s first artificial earth satellite at the Baikonur launch site and was sent into orbit. Since then, human beings have entered the use of spacecraft to explore outer space. New Era. 2007 coincides with the 50th anniversary of the launch of the world’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, and the world has elected this year as the year of spaceflight to commemorate the ambition of mankind to explore the universe. This year's most anticipated sci-fi disaster blockbuster "The Catastrophe of the Sun" brings the audience back to the most ambitious space imagination of mankind. Imagine that the earth in 50 years will be 2057. The sun gradually loses its energy to illuminate everything, and it has entered a terrible stage of exhaustion ahead of time. The last hope is that a spacecraft with eight scientists will go to save the sun. Director Danny Boyle, who is deeply interested in space films, said that the scientific principles of the film are as reliable as Nobel.
"The Catastrophe of the Sun" is the theme of space disaster with the largest budget since the filming of British director Danny Boyle after "28 Days of Shocking Change". The film is not only a sci-fi aerospace theme that has rarely appeared in recent years. Director Danny Boyle carefully produced this "Solar Catastrophe" from the exploration of the astronomy of the sun, and paid special attention to science and large and small details. From the details such as the design of the spacecraft to the mission plan, the research was carried out in detail, and the British physicist Dr. Brian Cox was hired as a consultant. The film assumes that the sun will decay prematurely and the light will gradually weaken and the earth will be in danger of freezing. The director emphasizes that everything has a scientific basis. Although some principles have to be discarded for theatrical effect, it is still "as real as possible". Danny Boyle made a special visit to NASA for this film, including research on the design of the spacecraft’s heat shield, and the final production of the Icarus 2 spacecraft, which was produced in the Mills film in the East End of London. The factory needs to span eight workshops before it can be put down. "Definitely not Star Wars", what Danny Boyle wants to make is a massive and realistic space disaster movie.
Familiar production team
Following the hit disaster film "The Day After Tomorrow" (2004), the new film "Solar Catastrophe" puts the scientifically-like disaster hypothesis like the horn of the doomsday on the big screen. He was born in advertising MV and is good at creating new visual fields. He and the production team have gradually built from the script scenes, spaceships and spacesuits, all the way to the ice-bound earth and the true appearance of the sun that has never been seen before in movie history. He wants to bring the audience a visual revolution. This thrilling future space mission. Unlike "The Day After Day", this film hopes to discover the value and courage of human nature in a brand new and comprehensive disaster crisis.
It coincides with the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first man-made satellite. This year, the global film industry is paying attention to whether "Solar Catastrophe" will re-hot the subject of space movies. The scientific hypothesis about the early depletion of the sun after 50 years has been proven to be caused by dark matter and substitute matter, and it is indeed reliable in scientific inference. Director Danny Boyle envisioned a space mission that dropped a nuclear bomb to the sun to create this visually stunning and scientifically credible space disaster film. Danny Boyle once said: "Unless it is a sequel movie, a director will probably only make a space-themed movie in his life, because after the filming, he will feel hollowed out or even die." The implication is that "The Catastrophe of the Sun" will be Danny Boyle's only space-themed film.
In the film, the astronauts in space suits drifted 55 million miles in outer space for 16 months. They are on an adventure mission to save all mankind. They must throw giant nuclear bombs at the sun to activate the sun in time. The audience will witness the dazzling brilliance of the star-shaped nebula before the star dies on the big screen. The whole film uses cutting-edge special effects to create the sun with as many as 500 sets of CGI visual effects scenes. Director Danny Boyle, who sees movies as an endless entertainment of audiovisual art, from the drug addiction phantom of "Guessing the Train", the paradise of "The Beach", and the post-human paradise of "28 Days of Surprise", "The Catastrophe of the Sun" is He has planned many years of sci-fi disaster masterpiece. Behind the scenes of the film are Danny Boyle's usual team of collaborations, including screenwriter Alex Garland, and Liverpool musician, John Murphy, who is good at electronic music.
Bringing together international superstars from five continents
"Solar Crisis" has top-notch visual effects to create the true appearance of the sun that is invisible to the naked eye. In addition, directors and screenwriters who are good at portraying human nature are also in the process of completely out of control of the pioneering space program, adding human thinking, just like "Awkward Change" "28 Days" asks the audience to work hard to find humanity and hope after being extremely frightened. The soul characters of the whole film are the eight astronauts. Their friendship and beliefs are just like in "28 Days of Shocking Change", which extracts the noble value of humanity in the most pessimistic and realistic disaster, which makes people move to tears.
Because this is an important task that affects the life and death of mankind, the global aerospace elite must be assembled. Based on this, director Danny Boyle selected world-renowned actors and finally brought together international superstars from five continents in "Scourge of the Sun", including British actor Cillian Murphy ("28 Days of Surprise") and American Xiaoshengke Rees Evans ("Firebolt" in "Fantastic Four"), Australian actress Rose Byrne ("Troy"), New Zealand actor Cliff Curtis ("Whale Rider"), and Two Asian actors, Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada ("The Last Samurai") and Chinese actress Michelle Yeoh ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") and so on. All the actors lived together for three weeks before the filming started, and cultivated the tacit understanding and friendship of life and death. The film has a revolutionary breakthrough in vision, while the plot has a revolutionary twist and emotion, ensuring that the climax will be repeated and people will cry.
Michelle Yeoh plays Kolasan, a Chinese born in Manila. Danny Boyle believes that the United States and China will be the world's aerospace centers in 50 years. He strongly invited Michelle Yeoh to play the role of the botanist Kolasan and be responsible for the oxygen botanical garden on the spacecraft. Michelle Yeoh in the film will be dressed in a Ripley-style space suit of "Alien". This is the first time a Chinese actress wore a space costume and boarded the space capsule of a Hollywood science fiction movie to explore the universe. expect.
