★About the director: the younger, the more terrifying ★The
young film director Chris Sweetson can be said to be a novice in the film industry. But in just a few years after entering Hollywood, he has successively shot several good-quality horror and comedy genres. Four years ago, "Toolbox Murders: As It Was" (Toolbox Murders: As It Was), which he co-directed with his colleagues four years ago, is not well-known and influential, but it has a small reputation among some fans who love horror genres and in the director circle. Two years later, he wrote and directed "Lost" (the title is exactly the same as the American TV series that is popular in the United States and even the world). This small-budget horror film, which draws on the names of its peers in the TV series, greatly demonstrates director Chris Sweetson’s unique understanding of horror genres. He used different lens language and picture style to tell the audience a different kind of horror story. Gradually integrate himself into the new generation of European and American horror trends. Especially in recent years, a number of outstanding horror films such as the "Chain Saw" series, "An Eye Behind the Mountain" series, and "The Inn" series have been launched successively by young directors who have driven this trend forward. I believe that under the hard work of the "predecessors" and his unremitting efforts, Chris Sweetson can also dedicate another wonderful film to fans who love horror movies.
★About the starring role: the horror story of Gossip Queen
The joining of Lindsay Lohan, the young Hollywood queen, undoubtedly adds a lot to this low-cost horror movie. The head of this young Hollywood actress, who can reach millions or more fans in both the scandal and the celebrity temperament, has now let go of many of the vices that have plagued her, and intends to change her mind and re-behave. And insist on doing something on the big screen. I want to become a TV child star in one fell swoop. This little girl, who is extremely capable of shaping herself, made her way into the Hollywood movie scene. And successively dedicated young and beautiful films such as "Hot Mommy", "Mean Girl", "Crazy Beetle" and so on for movie fans, and each film has an extraordinary response. Therefore, the singer's queen quickly became an idol sought after by more young people. However, in recent years, Lindsay Lohan has also been actively expanding her acting. For example, in the new film "The Law of Georgia", she appeared as a problem girl. Her acting skills have been tested, and she can be regarded as a transformation attempt. In this film, she was first involved in the suspense and thriller genre. She played two roles and played a strong woman. It was quite difficult, but obviously she and the director had a tacit understanding of cooperation. · Luohan's performance is very satisfied.
[Film Commentary: Exposure and Terror equals the box office]
If some fans go to the theater to follow their idols instead of fans, there will still be a large number of viewers looking forward to Lindsay Lohan’s more passionate and fun in the film Starred. As the main character of the film, Lindsay Lohan, this little beauty from a child star, apparently has more scandals than movies in recent years. As a new generation of Hollywood party actress, in this film, in accordance with the requirements of director Chris Sweetson, Lindsay Lohan began her own daring appearance in Hollywood, although this person has been in the movie world as early as the moment. , The private life of a person is not critical, but it is rare to see such a sexy and large-scale exposure on the big screen. Of course, this is obviously the biggest selling point of this film. I believe that many people will be intoxicated by the passionate pole dance of this young queen.
All in all, as a pitiful horror genre among the crowds in the summer, this movie also has a big selling point. First of all, the story of the film is very obvious, not only there are layers of suspense that catch people's attention, but also the sexy beauties that every male and even actress audience look forward to. Both are quite "popcorn" textures. In fact, the suspense of this film is not as complicated as imagined, at least it can be equal to the grade of "Spider-Man" and other large-scale stories. The plot is simple, the characters are relatively simple, and the number is even more limited. Because the suspense is too simple, the audience can guess the plot in the middle of the film. Then, the story has a suspenseful move towards watching the beautiful heroes fighting alone. In fact, the suspense story between dual personality or two people of the same appearance has long used a bad link, but it is indeed an effective means to create a dramatic effect. The key depends on how the director keeps the suspense longer. How can the audience continue to consume the popcorn in their hands.
[About the film]
Fate often stems from "love at first sight". Producer Frank Mancuso Jr. (Frank Mancuso Jr.), when he first read the script of "Suspected Murder on Both Sides", knew that the story contained unique power, and was immediately impressed by the unique arguments. Attract, choose it from many other scripts to become the next work of my own production. Indeed, Manguso has spent nearly 30 years of his career in the film industry. The films he has produced cover a very wide range, from "Friday the 13th" to international spy films starring Robert De Niro. "Cold-Blooded Titans"...and he also summed up some professional "hidden rules" from it: When choosing a good story worthy of being made into a film, it is best to trust your instinct and intuition. Manguso said: "I always ask myself,'Do I want to see what it looks like on the big screen?" A story I’ve never seen before, every character here has a unique appeal, and the content is also fascinating. It really conquered me."
Now that it was determined that this story had absolute value and characteristics and was brought to the big screen, the next step for the young Frank Manguso was to find a suitable director for it. At this time, a figure suddenly jumped into his mind. --Chris Shevtson, a name relatively unfamiliar to moviegoers. Shevtson's directorial debut "The Lost" is the most straightforward description of a charismatic hermit. Not only was it widely acclaimed on the film festival tour, it also caused a protracted battle of controversy. Manguso said: "When I was watching "Lost", I had a heartfelt admiration for Shivtsen. He must have spent very little money in making this film... Knowing that he has found the director that belongs to us.” And when Manguso met Siviterson for the first time, the two had a very heated discussion on "Double Suspect". He was very impressed with the director's vision for this film. He recalled: "I immediately felt that Shivtson really wanted to be the director of "Double Sided Murder", and was just like me. I was deeply attracted by this story. He seemed to have a special feeling and talent for this story, and he was able to make it into an excellent work beyond the genre. "
If you have watched "Lost", you will I know that Chris Shevtson is the kind of director who is very interested in exploring the dark side of human nature: "There have been too many examples before, and the characters introduced in most thriller movies are very flat. , Very pale and feeble. But "Two Sides Suspect" is completely different, it is driven by the characters to promote the development of the plot-this is the most important point I found when reading the script... When I was halfway through the reading When Aubrey suddenly claimed that he was the part of Dakota, I was also confused. Dakota may be the most attractive character I have ever seen."
[Double-faced Girl]
The screenwriter Jeffrey Hammond admitted personally that the complex and disturbing plot of "Two Sides" was inspired by many different sources, including some things he heard in his childhood memories, and Some recent personal experience. Take the killing tool made of glass used by the serial killer "Blue Man" as an example. This idea suddenly jumped into his mind when the script was about to be completed: "I still remember it was when I drove back from Mexico. It happened that an airport bus had just started, so I chased it with my luggage...I carried two bottles of tequila in my bag, and then I tripped with my left foot and fell with a big heel on my right foot. Then I heard the sound of the bottle breaking. --At the time, I thought, it was a agave worth 80 dollars, and it was gone. When I stood up, I was surprised to find that my arm was bleeding, it turned out that I didn’t realize it. , I was cut by broken glass. I stayed at the Denver Airport for another hour, treated and bandaged the wound in the emergency room, then rushed home and added the'glass weapon' to the script . in "
Jeffrey Hammond said, plays serial killer in this role, should not only improve the degree of suspense story, but also the effect of terror:" I need to find a solution to, it is the whole story They try to disguise the murderer as much as possible so that the audience can’t recognize his true identity. This is easier said than done, because audiences like to guess and reason about “mysteries” and are curious about the unknown. So. I hope that as one of the characters, the serial killer is the most illegible character in the film, so that the story can be filled with a terrifying atmosphere."
Director Chris Shevtson seems to have a similar relationship with Geoffrey Hammond about this script. With a similar feeling, he first let the scenes that can be presented in "Double Sided Killing" be played slowly in his own imagination...Finally, he decided to use two contrasting colors-blue and red to distinguish Aubrey and Dakota's environment involved. Frank Manguso, Jr. said: "In my first meeting with Sivtson, he said similar ideas, but he was still immature at the time. What he meant was everything related to Dakota. All are made red, from stockings to lipstick; Aubrey is surrounded by various shapes of blue. This can help the audience quickly realize that the person with the same face on the screen, in the end, Is it Aubrey or Dakota."
Chris Shevtson’s explanation for this is: "I like the popular color very much, so in this film, I use it as a thematic tool, so that it can be generated by our brains. A powerful influence. Of course, my goal is not to allow the audience to keep discussing what this color means and what that color means after they leave the movie theater... Here is only a subconscious clue that the audience can feel Just get the changes to happen.” Shevtson gave an example in particular, that is, when the character of Lindsay Lohan was first discovered on the roadside in the film, and then she was sent to the hospital. At the time she was wearing a blue long coat and lying on a blue bed sheet, but when she awake and insisted that she was Dakota instead of Aubrey, the blue began to disappear and the red mixed in quietly. When she was discharged from the hospital, her dress had completely changed to red.
For art designer Jerry Fleming (Jerry Fleming), Chris Sievertson’s visual imagination is a mysterious world full of rich details: "I have worked with so many directors, Sievert Sen is definitely one of the most creative. His eyes are always sparkling with wisdom, because his brain is always running at high speed. He really cares about characters, scripts, and details. "
In the film, there are actors playing two roles, which is also a big challenge for the art team. Chris Shevtson said: "An experienced actor like Lindsay Lowhan plays two roles at the same time. When an identity appears in a story, there are no performance barriers, but it is easy to do. However, because the filming schedule is very tight, even the simple way to change roles only by changing clothes and makeup, On the set you still have to race against time like a battle... Even so, if the two roles of Lindsay Lowhan are involved in the filming of this day, the plan for the day will probably be incomplete, and it will take a make-up shot in the middle of the night. So. In the set, the busiest figure will always belong to our amiable, credible, and respectable artists."
