classic sci-fi series
debuted in the mainland in 10 years. "Men in Black" series is one of the representative works of Hollywood black star Will Smith's actor career. The first two episodes of "Men in Black" released in 1997 and 2002 A total of more than 1 billion U.S. dollars in the global box office has also made the combination of J and K played by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones become one of the classic images in the history of science fiction.
Unfortunately, "Men in Black 1 and 2" did not meet the audience on the mainland screen for various reasons. "Men in Black 3" is expected to set the first for this sci-fi classic series and let fans look forward to it for 10 years. , To witness the demeanor of "Men in Black" on the big screen.
Ten years of sharpening a sword
In 2002, when Will Smith was still filming "Men in Black 2" with director Barry Sonnenfeld, Sonnenfeld was discussing the plot of "Men in Black 3" with Smith. At that time, Sonanfeld hoped that the third episode of the film would have a story of traversal. J went back to the past and found K's secret while saving K. But such a simple idea that is not technically difficult to realize has dragged on for ten years to become a reality. Sonanfeld said: "This movie project has become a slow and huge project. But simply, we saw it completed in our lifetime."
On April Fools' Day in 2009, Sony announced the filming plan for this movie. , I also found the script for the screenwriter to write the film. At that time, neither Will Smith nor Tommy Lee Jones decided to return to the crew and play the role that has been around for more than a decade. At the same time, the writing process of the film's script was not smooth, and a story that traverses is not easy to "make up". Adding the weird humor and weird plot in the previous two movies, it is not easy to maintain a high degree of consistency in style. So, on the basis of the script written by Ethan Cohen, Sony recruited David Cap to revise the script. Regarding the script, Cape said: "In order to be consistent with the previous two episodes of "Men in Black" in style and story, we spent a lot of time on the script. Because the most important thing for the sequel movie is to be the same as the previous one. If Subversion and changes are too exaggerated, it is better to just shoot a new movie. "Men in Black" has been sought after by so many people for so many years, there is a reason, so we will not change too many elements rashly And style.”
The bidding for nearly ten years has cost Sonanfeld a lot of energy. Moreover, in the past ten years, various superheroes and various sci-fi blockbusters have grown on the screen. Faced with these post-natal challenges, Sonanfeld, who created the "Men in Black" series, said: ""Men in Black" has its own unique values and unique elements of humor, so those movies adapted from comics and other Science fiction movies and so on do not conflict with this movie. After all, "Men in Black" is still one of the most peculiar movies on the screen about aliens invading the earth."
Crossing and Old Face
"Men in Black 3" has a traversal story. Regarding this plot setting, Sonanfeld said: "My favorite movie has always been "Back to the Future". I have watched it more than 20 times. I and Will Discuss and see if we can arrange a traversal story in the film. At that time, we all thought that going back in time and discovering some unknown secrets of K was actually the best arrangement. Later we separated and passed. It took 8 years to produce the script. First of all, I like this story very much, because in the script of "Men in Black 3", time travel, alien invasion, action, comedy, science fiction and conspiracy theory are all included, and The script is also very entertaining. This is a very standard Hollywood script. In fact, Will and Tommy also like this script. "It
is Will Smith and Tommy who play J and K in the film. Lee Jones, the old pair. In fact, when these two returned to the crew, they also experienced many tests. The first is Smith. After shooting "Seven Pounds", Smith has no new movies for a long time. Although there is a "Voyage" on his worksheet that hasn't moved a bit after three years of work, he is still in a state of semi-retirement. And Tommy Lee Jones is because of his age, rather than wanting to star in a science fiction action movie again. Sonanfeld said: "These two actors should be regarded as the soul of this film. Without their appearance, it would be extremely difficult for the film to be successful that year. Moreover, this is a sequel, not a brand new three. Part, so we still took a bit of effort to convince them to return to the crew. So we reunited and prepared to start filming "Men in Black 3". "The young version of K in the film is played by Josh Brolin. His performance, Sonanfeld said: "Brolin is a very dedicated actor, he is very good at trying to figure out Tommy's performance, and find a characteristic in it, and add this characteristic to his performance. Among them. So, his young version of K has Tommy's charm and characteristics. Many times, we will be in a trance on the set to think that K is like this when I was young."
