Not a remake but an original
In the recent Hollywood movie endless killer, can achieve 1977 Wes H. Raven grams Peter (Wes Craven) directed the classic film ""The far-reaching impact is really rare. This very landmark film was reworked in 2006 by Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur and updated the bloody and terrifying elements. Into a new version of "", really entertained a new generation of horror movie fans. In addition to winning a big box office, it was also recognized by the critics. "San Francisco Chronicles" commented on this remake: "If the film company insists on remakes of the classic horror movies, ""Just provide a feasible solution, it is a shock wave that can shake the field of horror movies. "
With so many favorable premises worthy of gratification, coupled with the strong appeal of horror movie fans, a sequel came into being. Wes Kee Peter H. Raven and his son Jonathan Ke Peter H. Raven (Jonathan Craven) together Brought us this "2", this father-son screenwriter dedicated a suspenseful story that is tough, fierce, ruthless, and cruel. The victims are no longer ordinary people without the ability to bind chickens, but American soldiers with more "rebellious spirit". Belongs to the National Guard. Even so, after they accidentally stepped into the territory of this group of murderers, they still experienced the most terrifying bloody nightmare. The sequel is directed by Martin Weisz, a tough and sharp storytelling filmmaker. His debut last year , "Rohtenburg"-also known as "Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story", is performed at major film festivals. After the screening, I didn’t enter the American theater line, but went directly to the home theater. Because there are too many explicit and straightforward descriptions of ogres in the film, it has caused a lot of controversy in the critics, so I can only helplessly. In the case of avoiding the theater line. Today, Wes K. Peter H. Raven and Martin Weitz, who are very gifted for introducing this kind of murderous story, have joined forces and believe this "The potential of "2" is really not to be glimpsed, because they can definitely bring an unforgettable horror story to movie fans.
After more than 30 years of baptism, Wes Kee Peter H. Raven has become a cultural symbol in the world of film, television and literature. In 1984, he used "A Nightmare On Elm Street" (A Nightmare On Elm Street) to reshuffle the horror film that had just started at the time, and in the next 10 years, he relied on "Scream" (Scream). ) The trilogy re-deconstructs this type of film. The combined box office revenue of the "Men Ghost Street" series and the "Screaming Scream" series is close to one billion U.S. dollars. This specific figure seems to be a more powerful proof that Peter H. Raven is unconscious about hiding in the depths of human souls. What a profound understanding of his desires and fears.
Peter Locke, as one of the film’s producers, also contributed to the production of the original 1977 version of "". He seems to be the person most qualified to evaluate Wes K. Peter H. Raven : " K. Peter H. Raven is a very successful director with a strong talent for storytelling. At the same time, he is also a Excellent screenwriter. He is an undoubted master in the field of horror movies. It is because of him that horror movies have developed into what they are now."
Since the first work "The Last House on the Left" in 1972, Wes Kee Peter H. Raven has shown his extraordinary ability as a filmmaker who can write and direct. The second work five years later ""At the time, his ability to control this type of movie was completely improved to a whole new level, and the movie quickly became part of the cultural trend. The story is as big as telling how crazy an ogre family mutated by nuclear pollution It preyed on travelers in the New Mexico desert.In 2006, the film was remade, and unprecedented success and economic benefits are urging the growth of a sequel. Wes K. Peter H. Raven recalled the situation at the time: " 20th Century Fox called me and said that he wanted me to write for the sequel. I said, then I will finish this story with my son Jonathan, and they agreed."
Although Wes K. Peter H. Raven is very much looking forward to co-creating a script with his son, but it is not very clear whether this kind of cooperation between relatives is more active: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and Jonathan has always been there. Writing articles for magazines and e-magazines, so we had almost no real sense of cooperation, and then suddenly there was this opportunity.Although he is my son, I really don’t know whether this kind of cooperation is feasible. However, now I see Come on, this idea is very good. I know for the first time that Jonathan’s pen style is so humorous. It is a kind of black humor, very similar to my creative style. All we have to do is sit down and discuss, and then put our own The ideas gathered and let them serve a story together. Unexpectedly, the process was so smooth and fast. It only took us less than a month to set up the framework of the whole story, and then it took another month. Completed the first draft of the script. Our working style is completely opposite to our relationship. We are engaged in dialogues between adults, not fathers training sons."
For producer Peter Locke , it is indeed a very secure approach to bring two generations of Peter H. Raven together to write this script: "The script combines the veteran experience of the'coming people', but also With the bravery and aggressiveness of'The more wit, the less courage '. I knew Jonathan when he was five years old. I believe in his ability and talent."
Because of the unusually short time left for the script creation, Wes Kee, Peter H. Raven and Jonathan completed it almost at a time when every second counts: "After the initial meeting, the first two weeks were almost used in the story outline. Go on. Then we stayed in two adjacent rooms in the hotel and started a one-month writing cycle. Because only in this way, we will not be disturbed by the ringing of the phone every minute. Seven days a week, we generally It was written from nine o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the evening-this situation continued for a full month, until we completed the first draft of the script."
Wes Kee Peter H. Raven specifically stated that the role of "Brenda Jimmy Carter " was removed from the sequel script they completed , so he must find a way to make up for the problems caused by the absence of this role, so he used A small group of soldiers replaced her: "It is a very important thing to incorporate a modern view of history into the story, such as the Second Gulf War , terrorist attacks, and conflicts brought about by different cultures-these elements They can be found in the film. You will see a group of American children in uniforms, just like those American soldiers who were forced to walk on the battlefield in Iraq. They faced enemies that they could not even imagine before. This terrifying experience It is completely contrary to the way they are trained. They can only escape from terrible traps on their own."
