unique hardcore action movies

Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, such an acting lineup of three men and one woman, when they get together When we are together, it is easy to think that it will be another big-selling drama. But this time the situation is different. The "Red Flame Battlefield" they got together to shoot is an out-and-out action movie. Why did you think of using such old drama bones to make an action movie? In this regard, director Robert Svenk said: "This "Red Flame Battlefield" uses some very experienced actors, largely because of the need for the plot, because the story describes how a group of retired agents act Many crises come together again to perform the mission story. And because of the setting of these roles in the story, we are going to use some older actors from the beginning, and I have another idea, that is, to use one The seemingly incredible lineup is used to create this movie. At the beginning, we first met Meryl Streep. In fact, when I was planning to make this movie, the first thing that came to mind was her, because Meryl Streep has appeared in various different types of movies, but she has made very few action movies. If she were to be able to shoot a fierce action movie in 2009, I think it would come out. It’s a wonderful spark. It’s a pity that the schedule of this movie can’t keep up with her time, but I’m very fortunate that I found an equally good actor to make up for this regret, and that’s Helen Mirren. "

Since "Queen" swept the world's major actress awards, Helen Mirren has become the spokesperson of the intellectual old lady, but the actress over 60 seems to want to add to her already fruitful acting career. Helen Mirren also starred in "Love Ranch" while starring in commercial productions such as "National Treasure: Treasure Hunting Secrets", "Ink Heart", and "National Cases". This time, she chose an action movie like "Red Flame Battlefield" and served as the female number one. Regarding this new work, Helen Mirren said: "The story of this movie is very interesting. When the crew first found me, I hoped I could take into account the more difficult action scenes that will appear in this movie. Obviously, They are a little worried about my physical condition, but I am not worried, because when I saw the actors who performed with me, hey, Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman, they are also very old. I think this combination makes me unable to resist, I must be able to act! So I decided to shoot the film very happily. I hope my fans can remember this role in the future, because this Victoria is indeed not what I often play That kind of character. The same goes for "Red Flame Battlefield". This movie is also a very special drama in my acting career."

"Red Flame Battlefield" is adapted from the comic of the same name. The story tells a group of retired CIA agents. With the experience of fighting again, the brothers Erich Hobel and Joe Hobel were responsible for the adaptation of this script. Regarding the concept of the adaptation of this story, Erich Hobel said: "The main story of the original comics is very clear. The story of the movie version also follows the original comics. The biggest adjustment we have made is the description of the characters. The movie does not We can show the personality of each character in an exaggerated way like a comic, so that the audience can easily remember it, and in two hours, we have to highlight the personalities of the four protagonists from each other, so here In terms of the story, the story has undergone some adjustments, and the background of the characters has also changed. More importantly, we want to make every action scene have a very good bedding, so that the audience can enjoy watching and relieve their breath. So in the story, there will be Very strong conflict. I hope the audience will be surprised, because this is an uncommon action movie. It is hard-line, but his hard-line is based on a group of retired old men and women, you will find that these seemingly weak The old people of China do not lose to the young when they perform their tasks. They can also save the world."



Robert Svenk, who directed the film by the four protagonists who are not old, has filmed action films such as "Blood Tattoo" and "Air Crisis". Last year, there was also a romantic and beautiful "Time Traveler's Wife". In his new work "Red Flame Battlefield", Robert Svenk said: "I admire the idea of ​​this story, that is, when people are old, fighting spirit will exist, and they can do a lot of things, and because they look old, they will be more capable. Let the enemy relax their vigilance, age has become their best disguise. This "Red Flame Battlefield" also implements a feature of the golden age of action movies, that is, fight can solve many problems, but in the end it depends on the justice of the protagonist to support They won the final victory. This story actually has a taste of the Cold War era. Although he is a comic in the new century, I think some viewers who like old-fashioned 007 will also like this story. This may be due to the setting of the protagonists. Relationship."

Bruce Willis, the protagonist, had become Hollywood’s premier action movie star with the "Die Hard" series as early as 20 years ago. Now he is nearly 60 years old, and continues to play in "Red Flame". "Battlefield" is born to death. Regarding this new work, Bruce Willis said: ""Red Flame Battlefield" is a movie worthy of my serious consideration and performance, because it has a serious script that is rarely seen in action movies, and there are also a group of people I know The actors who have been shooting for a long time. We all like this story because it is not as late as we imagined. In the movie, our characters are full of power and can fight all the time. And in the movie The action scenes also let everyone try their skills. The shooting process is actually not difficult, because we all know how to show the skills of an agent on the camera, so I can assure you that the action of "Red Flame Battlefield" The play will not be discounted at all because of our age."
