Those boys and girls who love the "Twilight" series have a good show again, because a hardcore "vampire maniac" screenwriter decided to pick up his pen again this time and write again A script about vampires. This person's name is Marty Knoxon. He once wrote the script for the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" from 1997 to 2002. More than a decade later, he reworked the script of a vampire-themed movie. The image of the vampire has been around for a long time, but it was changed beyond recognition in the "Twilight" series. Then in this remake of "Zombies", what will Knoxon portray a vampire like?
Faced with such questions, Knoxon said: “For a remake, the script must be something new. In the remake version of the movie, I will add some new elements, after all, I also want to A few years later, I created a somewhat different vampire. Now on the screen, vampires are no longer monsters with blue-faced fangs. They have become lovers and romantic boyfriends. Although I also think such vampires are pretty good, but I I still want to create a terrifying and horrible image of a vampire. This kind of movie must give people a frightening feeling-just like "Jaws". Another point is that I like some family dramas very much, just like that. The single mother lives with a child and later encounters a movie with a stranger. So I arranged Charlie in a single-parent family in the script. The last point is that I added a character similar to'geek' in the movie. He is a friend of Charlie. He has a lot of research on vampires, and he can tell Jerry is a vampire at a glance. The relationship between these two characters is very delicate. One is like a strategist who can only talk on paper, and the other is a doer. They are. In the movie, there will be some wonderful chemical reactions.”
Compared with the pure horror TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", this vampire movie, which was born in 2011, has not become more horrible, but has been added. More humor and drama elements. Noxon said: "After so many years of evolution, the ecology of vampire movies has changed dramatically. If you still write vampires in the original way, the audience will definitely kick you aside. Although I have included in the script. There are some jokes, but this does not mean that this is a comedy movie like the original. And the tone of the whole movie is still dark, because in my movie, I go out with a vampire on a date, dance, visit his house, do Things like neighbors are very dangerous. Moreover, in order to bring a certain degree of authenticity to the film, I always put myself in Charlie’s seat when writing the script. I will Asked myself what would I do if I changed it to me. Then I wrote my own sincere thoughts in the script. I think the audience will like this. "The
key is to find the right actors .
The original version of "Zombies" in 1985 is a classic in film history, and the vampire played by Chris Sarandon and the monster hunter played by William Rogersdale have also received a lot of praise, especially These two quaint performances with a slightly stage character have become the highlights of the film. It is also based on this that when Knoxon wrote the script, he had roughly given the appearance of the actor and a framework for the performance in his mind. He said: "I do have a general concept of actors, and this view needs to be approved by the director before it can be realized on the screen." After
reading Knoxon's script and listening to his opinions on the actors, the director Ke Reg Gillespe expressed his full agreement. He said: "To shoot a movie now, actors are the key to attracting audiences to the cinema. As long as you choose the right actors and let them play the correct role in the movie, everything will be fine. As for the male protagonist, I hope to find A young actor who seems to have the face of a high school student to play, we finally settled on Anton Eugene. He was born with an innocent face, so let him play this somewhat joking role. Yes. His girlfriend, I chose the British newcomer Imogen Potts to play. She has made some movies before and has a lot of experience, and she is the same age as Eugene, and she is also very good in height. The most suitable. The most important and the most difficult role to choose is the vampire actor. I hope this is a very charming, chic, and powerful character. In other words, he must have both qualities of elegance and brutality. According to this direction, I finally found Colin Farrell, who is also from the United Kingdom." As for myself to be a vampire, Farrell said: "I like "Zombies" very much, so I am also willing Acting in this movie. In the image of a vampire, the director told me that as long as you show a certain degree of sexiness, a certain degree of brutality and fearlessness, and a certain degree of cynicism, it is enough. I think this role is very interesting and worthy of me. An attempt. Of course, I also like the script that is both horrible and funny."
With the upsurge of 3D, Craig Gillespe also naturally used 3D technology to make movies. He said that 3D technology can restore the real world to the greatest extent. He said: "The 3D format has a strong sense of substitution, and can maximize the restoration of the environment the actors are in. This is a way to use the lens to contact the reality and restore the world. I am very fascinated by it. The important point is that 3D gave me a new feeling of making movies. Because shooting 3D, the camera movement should not be too violent, nor too much. This feeling is just like those previous movies, which surprised me. Enjoy it. After all, this is a brand new experience."
