Best Movie Star

Chapter 942: Flora's letter

"Hello, Jonathan."

Matthew shook hands with Jonathan Nolan who entered the office, and then invited, "Please sit here."

Jonathan Nolan greeted him, put down his briefcase first, and then sat on a single sofa.

"Your office is very simple." Jonathan Nolan looked around. The office area is not small, but there are not many layouts. The most eye-catching is the movie posters hanging on the wall, which are the movies invested by Matthew. He and Matthew are also acquaintances, joking, "I thought the offices of billionaires were brilliant."

Matthew laughed. "Shiny things are bad for the eyes." He turned to the topic, "Jonathan, how come you have time?"

Jonathan Nolan is Christopher Nolan's younger brother. He was originally a writer and later involved in the screenwriting industry. Most of Christopher Nolan's early films were adapted from Jonathan Nolan's novels.

Nolan's big family, the mode of filming and production is basically Jonathan Nolan is responsible for writing, Christopher Nolan adapts and shoots, and Emma Thomas manages the daily work of the crew as a producer.

"Chris and I are planning a new project, and I just finished writing the script." Jonathan Nolan obviously didn't come to Matthew on a whim, and said directly, "I came from London specifically to represent Chris to Warner Bros. and Legendary Films. Before leaving, Chris, who was busy with the promotion of "The Dark Knight Rises" overseas, called me specifically and asked me to prepare an extra script for you, by the way."

Having said that, he opened his briefcase, took out a thick stack of scripts, handed it to Matthew, and said, "Chris said, you have an agreement with him that you will continue to work together after the "Batman" series ends."

Matthew took over the script and said frankly, "Well, we have such an agreement."

He and Christopher Nolan are very satisfied with the previous cooperation. A good director wants to use a good actor, and a good actor also wants to meet a good director.

Christopher Nolan, it's too early to say that this name is great, but with so many excellent works, he is certainly on the road to greatness.

Matthew looked down at the script, and there was only one line of print on the cover of the script - "Letter from Flora"!

Is this supposed to be the name of the script?

He frowned slightly. He had seen most of Christopher Nolan's movies, especially the ones since "Batman: Hour of War". film.

"Flora's letter?" Matthew repeated the name, suddenly thinking of a girl he had seen on the crew of "Inception" and asked, "Jonathan, is the script's name fake? Flora Is that Chris' daughter?"

It is not the first time that Christopher Nolan's film projects have taken false names. For example, his previous works include Roy's First Kiss (The Dark Knight), Oliver's Arrow (Inception) and Manus Rex ( The Dark Knight Rises), which also contains the names of his children.

Jonathan Nolan nodded, "We haven't decided on a name yet, and for the sake of confidentiality, I directly used my niece's name instead."

Immediately, he briefly talked about the project.

At the beginning of this script, it was based on an idea of ​​Christopher Nolan, and it was handed over to Steven Spielberg around 2005. Steven Spielberg planned to direct it himself, and also invited Jonathan - Nolan wrote the script.

But after the first draft of the script was completed, as Spielberg was busy with the schedule and budget of "Robot Apocalypse", plus a series of troubles at DreamWorks, Spielberg finally abandoned plans to direct the project, and the script returned to Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan.

After all post-production on The Dark Knight Rises was complete, Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan talked about the project they were about to forget, and the two eventually decided to make the film themselves.

However, many of the ideas of the year, with the continuous development of technology, make the Nolan brothers feel outdated, so Christopher Nolan asked Jonathan Nolan to rewrite the script on the basis of the original, so that the story can be based on science as much as possible. on the basis of.

The script of this remake is a typical space science fiction genre. The original concept of the story came from Caltech physicist Kip-S-Thorn, who made a theoretical wormhole and the potential of time travel. Lots of amazing research and work.

According to Jonathan Nolan, Kip Thorne gave a lot of important advice while he was writing the script.

Because of the preparation of another sci-fi space film "The Martian", Matthew has also heard of Kip Thorne's name. It is said that he is one of the most outstanding scientists in the field of black holes and general relativity, with Stephen Hawking, Carl - Sagan was a longtime friend and held a high position in theoretical physics.

It can be said that the current script has been drastically changed from the one that Steven Spielberg wanted to direct.

Christopher Nolan also planned to invite Kip Thorne to teach the entire crew for a period of time during the project preparation period.

Jonathan Nolan didn’t stay long, he quickly left and told Matthew before leaving that if there was any problem, call Christopher Nolan directly to communicate.

In principle, Matthew is willing to continue to cooperate with Christopher Nolan. After the filming of "Inception", the two have expressed their intention to cooperate more than once.

Now getting the script that Christopher Nolan specially asked Jonathan Nolan to send is enough to prove that Christopher Nolan is very sincere.

Frankly speaking, a big director and a big star, the former has a wider range of choices when looking for partners.

In the next few days, Matthew deliberately took time to read the script sent by Jonathan Nolan carefully.

This script is somewhat similar to "The Martian" in type, and also belongs to the category of hard science fiction.

It's clear that Christopher Nolan is ready to venture into the genre of hard sci-fi movies after filming the soft sci-fi genre of superheroes.

The story of the script is a bit more complicated than Matthew's past popcorn films.

This story takes place in the near future. The earth's climate is no longer suitable for food growth, water resources are depleted, famine is rampant, human beings are facing the threat of extinction, the earth may be destroyed at any time, and human beings must find a way out of the earth.

Surviving scientists have discovered a mysterious "space-time rift" through which they can go to outer space to find the opportunity to prolong life. An expedition team traveled beyond the solar system to find a planet suitable for human immigration.

The hero and heroine are selected as a member of the plan to save the future of mankind and must go to another planet suitable for human habitation outside the solar system.

On this spacecraft called "Endurance", the expedition members are faced with unprecedented challenges that human minds have never seen before.

However, when passing through the wormhole, they discovered that one hour on the spacecraft was equivalent to seven years on Earth, and even if the expedition team's mission could be accomplished, the redemption they could offer would be too late for those alive on Earth .

The hero must choose between reuniting with his own child and saving the future of humanity.

Very traditional Hollywood model, saving the world and family feelings are the eternal theme.

After reading the script, Matthew naturally recalled the pirated movie he had seen on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. It was the last Christopher Nolan movie he watched. The Chinese translation is called "Interstellar".

As for the original English title, he doesn't know, anyway, the English title can't be "Flora's Letter".

The main plot of this script is basically the same as "Interstellar", which still has some memories.

Of course, there are differences. For example, it is the son who resonates emotionally with the male protagonist, not the daughter.

Looking back now, the hero's shrewd and lovely daughter, yes...it seems to be named Murphy, which should be played by McKenzie Foy.

There is a son in the script.

This is not a big problem, it is too easy for similar characters to change gender.

In addition, the former heroine should be Anne Hathaway, but when filming "Inception" ~www.readwn.com~ Anne Hathaway annoyed Christopher Nolan, Christopher Nolan has refused to be with him again She collaborated, even replacing Selena Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises.

To accept or not to accept this project? Matthew didn't think about it too long and decided to continue working with Christopher Nolan.

Christopher Nolan is still in a rising period of directors. During this period, directors have a very high probability of making good films. The cooperation between the two can be said to be a strong alliance.

In addition, Christopher Nolan is also one of the few directors who can remember his name, which at least shows that Christopher Nolan is still a major Hollywood director.

The memories of living on the other side of the Pacific Ocean are not endless. With the cooperation with Christopher Nolan, there is undoubtedly an insurance for the future.

Then there is the production scale of this film, Jonathan Nolan roughly mentioned, it must be the level of the first-line Hollywood, so that his salary and other income will also be guaranteed.

Considering all the circumstances, it should be a wise choice to continue to work with Christopher Nolan to film "Interstellar".

By the way, I have to find an opportunity to communicate with Christopher Nolan. What kind of young son the actor wants, he must change it to a young daughter.

How cute is your daughter?

However, Matthew also has some doubts about the cooperation of this project. For example, he is about to shoot "The Martian" and then "Interstellar". Will the two films cause similar roles?

He specifically called Christopher Nolan to communicate this problem. Christopher Nolan had read the original book of "The Martian" and thought that this was not a problem. These are two completely different characters.
