Best Movie Star

Chapter 586: Tiankeng

At the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" before, Andrew Stanton once said that this was a super project with a budget of more than 200 million US dollars. Matthew received the script very seriously, and called him to reject the night with him. Alexandra Daddario's date, back at Horner Manor, planning to take a good look at Andrew Stanton's script.

After brewing a cup of tea and sitting in front of the computer in the study, Matthew logged into his private encrypted mailbox, found the email from Andrew Stanton, and downloaded the attached file to the computer.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then opened the document.

The first page of the document is the title, and unlike Edgar Rice Burroughs' famous "Princess of Mars", there are three names on this page.

It's clear that Andrew Stanton doesn't intend to use the original title of "Princess of Mars".

The three names are "John Carter on Mars", "Mars Conquest" and "Alien Battlefield".

Matthew stopped when he saw the first page. The names "John Carter on Mars" and "Mars Conquest" were common, and they were also typical Hollywood movies like "Star Wars".

But why is the name "Alien Battlefield" so familiar?

Matthew stared at the computer screen and quickly determined that the familiarity didn't come from Hollywood now, but from seeing the name before!

Suddenly, he remembered a somewhat familiar plot from the original book...

Have you thought about it before? Looking at the plot is a little familiar, not because "Princess of Mars" is similar to a junior YY at a certain point, but because he has seen similar movies?

With this thought in mind, Matthew felt more and more familiar with the name "Alien Battlefield". It seemed that a pirated movie he downloaded on the Internet was called this business card.

Thinking of this, Matthew hurriedly moved the mouse and clicked to read the content of the script. Andrew Stanton said before that he would greatly adapt the original work. Maybe after seeing the plot settings of the script, he could recall more content. .

Many forgotten memories can be recalled after being touched.

Different from the ten lines in one eye when he watched "Cloud Atlas" before, he took Andrew Stanton's script very seriously.

This is not only because of the level of investment, but also has something to do with the director himself. The Wachowskis' style is too deliberately pursuing depth and philosophical speculation. He thinks about these things that are terrifying, and in addition to the "Matrix" series in his memory, The rest of the Wachowskis' films are basically shit.

He doesn't remember much about Andrew Stanton, but Andrew Stanton's resume from joining the Pixar studio to the present is brilliant enough.

Andrew - Stanton directed the first film is the famous "Finding Nemo", and won the Oscar for best original screenplay nomination for this film, and finally won the best animated feature film statue, in addition, he also served as "Toy Story" , "A Bug's Life", "Toy Story 2" and "Monsters, Inc." writer and/or executive producer.

While he hasn't dealt with live-action movies yet, Andrew Stanton clearly understands what makes the movie market popular.

With this idea in mind, Matthew spent most of the night reading Andrew Stanton's script very seriously.

Perhaps really stimulated by the plot of the script, he remembered something and realized that his thoughts about Andrew Stanton were not necessarily correct.

"A master of animated films..." He took his eyes off the screen, leaned back in his swivel chair, and said to himself, "Not necessarily a good live-action film director."

Like most of the adapted movies, this script is a great adaptation of the original, and the plot of Andrew Stanton's adaptation into the script looks more familiar than the original!

The script tells the story of John Carter, a traumatized former military officer who inadvertently traveled to Mars during the American Civil War. Due to different gravitational forces, the Earth is large and Mars is small. John Carter has become a "Superman" with infinite strength and bouncing like flying. As a result, he was involved in the conflicts of several local ethnic groups, dealing with the beautiful princess, heroic allies and cunning enemies.

Many of the episodes mention that John Carter can jump on Mars like a superman, jump like a frog...

"Alien Battlefield", jumping on the alien planet like a frog, and also became the savior with frog jumping, soaked in a beautiful princess, and a group of mysterious alien aliens, who played dead and killed the alien aliens at the end ...

The more he watched, the more familiar Matthew felt. There was a movie that was deleted after watching it once, and he gradually got some impressions in his head.

Isn't the project that Andrew Stanton wants to push forward a bloody-failed movie?

In order to make sure that there was no mistake, Matthew specially read the script again, and the more he read, the more confident he became, and he even remembered why he remembered the name "Alien Battlefield".

Once on the Internet in the era of smartphones, many browser apps would push some articles based on the content that individuals often read. At that time, he often watched movie-related information in order to find new movies to download from the Internet. Movies with similar conditions are packaged and pushed.

Like the best war movies, the best horror movies, and the funniest comedy movies.

There is also a genre that appears particularly frequently on the movie public account - the list of the most money-losing movies in the world.

He can't remember very well, it's probably the name of this category, "Alien Battlefield" together with "Cleopatra" starring Elizabeth Taylor, "Cut Throat Island" that led to the bankruptcy of Carlock Pictures, Kevin Coster Warner Bros.'s "Waterloo" and "Batman and Robin" by Warner Bros. are the titles that appear most frequently.

If what he remembered is correct, "Alien Battlefield" is definitely an epic super big hit.

Matthew suddenly thought of what Andrew Stanton said: the production budget of this project will be more than 200 million US dollars...

If a movie with such an investment scale is super big, let alone him, even Tom Cruise will vomit blood, right? For stars with insufficient confidence and capital, it can directly destroy their stardom.

He closed the file and quickly made a decision to turn down the invitation of Andrew Stanton, and Helen Herman also said that the reason why Andrew Stanton invited him, on the one hand, was that the hero of the military action type was suitable for him. , and secondly to attract investment.

Pull investment? Thinking of this, Matthew patted his leg.

Been looking for a tiankeng, isn't this one? With a production budget of more than $200 million, Andrew Stanton needs funds, and the male lead is also very suitable for the handsome Pitt...

Thinking of this, his head turned quickly, how could Andrew Stanton connect with Brad Pitt? And it's better that the two can be directly linked before "Cloud Atlas" is released.

Although Plan B has not announced the release date, according to Hollywood's consistent production mode and the past shooting and post-production speed of the Wachowskis, "Cloud Atlas" will take about a year of preparatory work, and more than a year of shooting and post-production. Production and publicity and marketing can be released in the summer of 2009 at the earliest. However, this film is very complicated, and it may be pushed to the 2010 release.

Matthew turned off the computer, let the study enter a state of absolute silence, and even turned off the lights, sitting in the dark and thinking quietly.

After half an hour, his thoughts became clear. It wasn't something he had to do, but he could try. If Brad Pitt didn't get into the pit, he wouldn't be able to reach out and push Pitt directly, so he invested in it. Time and effort must be properly controlled.

Like last time, he didn't have direct contact with Pete, he just dug a hole, and whether Pete went in or not was entirely up to him.

Matthew stood up and walked out of the study. He had a plan in mind, but he couldn't be in a hurry. After all, there was no more specific news from Andrew Stanton.

He will keep in touch with Andrew Stanton and look for the right opportunity.

As for how the news gets to Brad Pitt, it's worth thinking about it.

After leaving the study~www.readwn.com~ back to the bedroom, Matthew called Alexandra Daddario, Alexandra Daddario has not slept yet, the two talked on the phone Chatted for ten minutes.

Then, unable to bear it any longer, he drove downstairs away from Warner Manor and headed straight for the Ivy House north of Burbank.

Compared with falling asleep alone, he is more willing to fight the huge waves. Even if the two waves are as majestic as mountains and turbulent as hurricanes, they cannot suppress his conquering heart.

Facing the waves, he would stand with a spear and use his skilled skills to break through the suffocating waves.

Memorial Day passed with Matthew's spear piercing the mountains, and early the next morning, he personally drove Alexandra Daddario to Warner Studios, getting the latest updates along the way. "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" box office flashback.

On the past Monday, the film still maintained a very high attendance rate and filming rate. After winning more than 20 million US dollars at the box office, the North American box office totaled 160.37 million US dollars and continued to move forward in the direction of big sales.

On the other hand, overseas box office statistics have also come out. "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World" was simultaneously released in 73 markets around the world. In just one week, the global box office reached 378.9 million US dollars.

In the next two weeks, the film will appear in more overseas markets.

However, due to many factors such as the review, the release time of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World" on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is about three weeks later than that in North America.

After sending Alexandra Daddario to Warner Studios, Matthew rushes to David Ellison's Skydance Studios, and there will be an interview today to determine the "Fast and the Furious" franchise. director.
