"Washington Post"
film is that the plot is almost unbearable.
——The
behind
-the-scenes story of CNN.com’s behind-the-scenes production of "The First Line Sound Machine" was the same as the plot of the film. Many years ago, when the script of the film appeared on the desk of Lauren Lloyd, the executive vice president of Sony Pictures at the time, The latter was immediately attracted by another telephone-related horror story written by the screenwriter of "Sniper Phone Booth", Larry Cohen, but Lloyd failed to persuade her colleague to vote for the film. "In the first draft of the script, the male protagonist was the driver who drove for the bank robbers, and the female protagonist was not kidnapped," Lloyd recalled. "The simple idea of keeping an uninterrupted conversation with someone in distress seemed very contagious. , I immediately fell in love with the script." Soon after, Lloyd left Sony to become an independent producer. She recommended Cohen's screenplay to Dean Devlin, the producer of "Defense of the Earth" and "Patriot", and as a close friend of Lloyd, Devlin agreed to collaborate with him to make the film.
To further improve the storyline, Lloyd and Devlin hired screenwriter Chris Morgan to work on the script of the film. For the latter, "Sound Machine" is his favorite action movie. "In this kind of action movie, heroes who turn the tide are never brilliant and extraordinary experts," Morgan said. "They are all ordinary people. Because they are in a certain predicament, they can only come forward." Although the film It is made up of a large number of fast-paced action scenes and exciting and tense suspense, but Morgan still injects humor. He said: "I have always been keen on situational humor. I think that once the timing is right, the comedy effect that follows is unexpected, just like in "Indiana Jones", when faced with an arrogant and domineering Arabian warrior, Indiana Jones chose to kill him with a pistol. This is the most classic funny scene in movie history enough to prove how amazing a comedy effect can be created by casual humor."
When looking for a film director, Lloyd and Devlin thought that David R. Iris, who had succeeded with "Reaper Coming 2", was the best candidate. Iris, who was born as a stunt coordinator, decided to shoot the action scenes and car chase scenes in the film with a new method that was different from the past. Devlin said: "I have watched a lot of car chases, but David’s shooting method is my front. Unseen, he did not focus on the collision of the vehicle, but uniquely captured the thrilling moment of the nearly collision." The
producer originally planned to shoot the film in Boston, but due to the changes in the story and the changing local weather, Los Angeles became the final choice. Devlin said proudly: "Many movies have been shot in Canada and overseas in order to reduce production costs. What we are proud of is that "The First Line Sound Machine" was all shot in Los Angeles." However, although Los Angeles The advantage of the film seems to be unique, but the story of the film takes place within a day, but the shooting takes several months, and most of the scenes are outdoor scenes, how to make the pictures taken on different dates seem to happen on the same day has become the most important thing the crew faces. The daunting challenge. Devlin said: "The art director, the director, and the director of photography must be coordinated. In fact, the weather in Los Angeles is not static. We must be careful to shoot and use some'blind eyes'. The
