[Wolf Race Resurrection] is the prequel to the series. The story focuses on the origin of the generational hatred of vampires and werewolves. In addition, a new lineup is adopted in the production team, from the director to the protagonist. The film’s film is directed by Patrick Tatropoulos, who has long held the position of visual effects. When talking about his views on the film, he said: "The biggest problem in shooting this film is how to make it independent in the story. Under the circumstances, how to keep the style consistent with the previous two episodes. At this point, it is not me that stumped first, but a few screenwriters. [Wolf Race Resurrection] is not a sequel to the first two episodes. The story is relatively independent. Yes, it is a prequel to the first two episodes, revealing the causes of many events in the first two episodes. I think the audience should be very interested in understanding where the dispute between werewolves and vampires came about. [Wolf Race Again] still retains a lot of the first two episodes Setting, such as the color of the entire movie, and the style of clothing, so it seems that the three episodes of the story are very much like a whole, and will not make the audience feel disconnected."
In the context of the story, [Wolf Clan Rise] is still female From the perspective of the first-person narrative, in the words of the director: “This point is consistent with the previous two episodes. The whole film is still explained from the perspective of a woman. Everyone knows that our starring role is from Kate Beckinsale. Replaced by Lola Maitra, they have some similarities in their personalities. They are both strong female warriors, and both have feelings with other races. The main line of the story is Sonia played by Lola Maitra. She is a vampire woman warrior, and she has feelings with the werewolf, which constitutes the conflict in the whole movie. As for the origin of the grievances between the werewolf and the vampire, what the audience is most interested in, the whole movie also focuses on the reasons. I believe the audience will get a satisfactory answer."
After Victor became a vampire, he began to enslave and imprison the wolf tribe. The wolf tribe became the guards and slaves of the vampire. At that time, the wolf tribe could not become human. They were still people in primitive consciousness until The first humanoid wolf clan was born, he was Lucian, and the first werewolf in the true sense. Lucian not only possesses the physique of a wolf clan, but also has intelligent human thinking. Victor wants to train him into an excellent warrior, but the collar around Lucian's neck shows that he is still a slave in essence. In the time when Baiju passed, Lucian had grown into a brave warrior, and he was responsible for the defense of the castle. Once, Lucian rescued Victor’s daughter Princess Sonia. Gradually, the two young people developed feelings, and the two throbbing hearts came together, but the love of different races was never allowed and blessed, so it was a tragedy and death knell. It sounded. In order to present the unique world in the film in [Rise of the Wolf Clan], the creative staff decided to go to Eastern Europe to shoot, and Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is the ideal first choice.
Wiseman said: "There are the buildings we have been looking for, and with our stretched shooting budget, it is impossible to create such a real interior scene. I have outlined the outline of the entire film in my mind, and I work hard. Explain to everyone my idea of the film. When we arrived in Budapest, they said,'Now I finally know what kind of film you want to make.' "Budapest has a long history, a vicissitudes of life, and a strong ancient flavor. Transylvania, the birthplace of vampires and werewolves, once belonged to Hungary, and the mysterious connection between Budapest and the film made it difficult for the creators to resist. Regarding the visual effects of this film, Patrick Tatepulos, who has been immersed in it for many years, said: “There are hundreds of special effects shots in the whole movie, especially the towns in the respective territories of the wolf tribe and the vampire. With a full CG sketch, this is a challenge to the actors’ interpretation. I ask them to imagine enemies who are not there. In terms of CG production, the film has a strong sense of the times. It has a very old and determined castle, and there are also vampire nobles. , And a werewolf with beautiful hair. The first two episodes have a strong near-future style, but the style of this episode is still close to the aesthetics of the Middle Ages. In this regard, we refer to many works of similar vampire themes, including myself in the past. Several vampire movies we shot. At the same time, we made these scenes and costumes have the style of the first two episodes, so that the audience will think that they are connected before and after, and will not feel abrupt. "The above external conditions are all. It is for the plot. The development of the story did not escape the tragic fate. It didn’t take long for Lucian and Sonia’s love affair to be noticed by Victor. Lucian decided to escape with the beloved, and the time of the werewolf’s rebellion would come. arrive.
However, just when Lucian successfully escaped the vampire castle, she found that Sonia was imprisoned by her father, and only death awaited her. Therefore, Lucian decided to lead a group of werewolf men to attack the vampire castle again. In this film, the vampire vs. werewolf battle is the focus of CG production in the entire movie. For the filming of this scene, Patrick Tatep Lowe said: "In the early stage, we did a lot of work and made reference to some movies that used the same technology to make similar scenes. Before the film was shot, we drew a lot of sub-shots, and wanted to show the war from the whole and all aspects of the situation. I don't want to He looks chaotic. I hope that the audience can understand how this war was fought. In addition to the details that must be reflected, the feel of the camera is also very important. So how to balance the whole and the details is a tricky issue. . In the end I used a long shot that kept moving to complete one of the sections. I discussed this long shot many times with the staff of the CG production department, and the final plan was very shocking. Thanks to the CG production department. Hard work.” In fact, the visual experience presented by the film has a strong sense of reality, which makes people completely forget that this is a story based on a virtual structure, but it is more like a true legend.
Finally, Princess Sonia was burned to death in the sun, Lucian failed to save the life of her lover, and his hatred of the vampire family ended. At this point, the werewolf race centered on Lucian has become a new force on the other side of Hassan in this world. Gradually, they are strong enough to fight against vampires, and the two races' continuous grievances have become the theme song throughout the century, like a song. The never-ending tragic song resounds at the midnight hour of each full moon.
