It has left the small screen of the TV, left the obscure department of the Emmy Awards, and left the small world of art films. With the attention of the public, Renly truly entered the public eye..
Replacing Dawn, joining a series of commercially based action movies like "Fast and Furious 5" easily triggered a heated discussion in the media and released all the previously pent-up enthusiasm..
Before Renly even had time to join the crew, people's expectations had begun to rise slowly. Rather than saying that people were looking forward to Renly's performance, it was better to say that people were looking forward to who the young man who had been in the news frequently in recent times was. After all, in addition to "Pacific War", "Buried Alive" has not had time to meet the audience, and "Fast and Furious 5" has not even had time to start filming. After all, the number of participants in Toronto and Telluride is limited, and the audience is simply not available. There are many ways to understand Renly, all of which cast a veil of mystery on Renly..
Now, a commercial movie like "Fast and Furious 5" has become the best medium, successfully awakening people's curiosity to explore the mystery.
Discussion threads in the Yahoo community began to become lively again. On the other hand, the exclusive interview published by "Us Weekly" during the Toronto visit has become the best choice for people to obtain resources..
This new-generation actor first conquered the small screen with his outstanding acting skills and won his first Emmy Award at the age of only 20. He then successfully received acclaim in Toronto and Telluride. , even compared to the long-famous James Franco. The aura that enveloped him became the driving force for people to further understand and discover Renly..

Interestingly, following the exclusive interview in Toronto, Gavin Hunter was the first to reveal the latest casting progress for "Fast and Furious 5". What does this mean? Does Gavin have some unknown first-hand information?？
For a time, Gavin became very popular among journalists..
The major media reports are not only focused on Renly, but also on the crew of "Fast and Furious 5". Some people are questioning, some are agreeing, some are opposing, some are pursuing it, and everyone is discussing the use of... What impact will Renly's decision to replace Dawn have?.
But there is no doubt that at the moment, the "Fast and Furious 5" crew has undoubtedly achieved great success. It has swept away the decline of the previous three weeks, has a new look, and regained the spotlight with vigor and vitality, and announced with great strength that it will be held in Los Angeles. The filming work has started again, and the positive attitude of gearing up has made people full of confidence in the film again..
This is not the end yet！
At the same time, Focus Features also sensed a good opportunity and launched the pre-publicity of "Buried Alive" at the precise time, announcing that the film was officially scheduled to be screened in Los Angeles and New York on October 22, and will be released later. Expanding the screenings, this arrangement is obviously aimed at this year’s Halloween schedule..
This move triggered a lot of discussions in the industry.
Judging from the early reputation of "Buried Alive", it is more like a literary film that hits the awards season. Keywords such as one-man show, secret room space, and sensory stimulation all prove this. It is even less "friendly" than "127 Hours" ; But the current schedule of Focus Features shows their strong confidence and they also want to make a difference at the box office. At least they strive to make a difference..
You know, this year's Halloween schedule is extremely crowded. "Paranormal Activity 2" and "Saw 3D" will compete fiercely, followed by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)" ’s grand debut. In the limited market space, it is not easy for any work to carve out a way out. Now, “Buried Alive” actually wants to participate in the competition.？
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?？
After brewing and fermentation in Toronto and Telluride, coupled with the news of "Fast and Furious 5", the first wave of publicity effect of "Buried Alive" is really good, and many viewers have a strong interest in this work. interest, triggering much discussion and controversy.
However, this is only the first step in the early stage of publicity. Attracting attention is victory. This is why Focus Pictures chose to announce the schedule at this point in time. Next, Focus Pictures will also release the first trailer. Can the trailer Meeting the audience's psychological expectations will determine the subsequent publicity of the film..
From "Fast and Furious 5" to "Buried Alive", Renly's upward momentum is truly unstoppable. Not only that, even his competitors started assisting at the right time..
Dwayne Johnson reacted immediately and announced in an absolutely high-profile manner that he would join "The Expendables".”！
He will form a luxurious lineup with Sylvester Stallone, Jet-li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and others, trying to create a real movie The tough guy works.
In his words, he revealed a lot of information, "a real man's work", "returning to the classic action genre", "reducing fancy gimmicks", etc., which seemed to be belittling "Fast and Furious" intentionally or unintentionally. "Love 5" crew, even if they didn't say it clearly, the media couldn't wait to get excited..
Not only that, Lionsgate Pictures, the production company of "The Expendables", also stepped forward. In the official press release, it placed Dawn on the same level as Sylvester, emphasizing Dawn's role as the second protagonist. Status, and said that this movie will become a classic action version of "Ocean's Eleven" and reawaken people's fanatical preference for action movies of the 1970s and 1980s..
The next day, Lionsgate copied Universal Pictures' move and released a new poster, with only Sylvester and Dawn standing side by side. Both words hinted: Even if It’s not a dual-protagonist movie, but Dawn’s importance is self-evident..
Although he is only the second leading role, Lionsgate Pictures obviously pays different attention to it. This is Dawn's second appearance in a blockbuster commercial movie, "Suicide Squad" after "The Mummy 2", "The Scorpion King" and "Wood Mountain Adventure". An investment of 80 million U.S. dollars is not inferior to the "speed and passion"5”.
The difference is that the previous commercial films were all unsatisfactory at the box office, and Dawn was not able to soar to the sky; but this time, only relying on the three classics of Sylvester, Duff, and Jett Action actors have strong appeal in the industry, and "The Expendables" has already had a smooth road. Now, coupled with Dawn, it is indeed eye-catching. No wonder Lionsgate Films has given it so much attention..
From Dawn to Lionsgate Pictures, all signs are showing that it was not that the crew of "Fast and Furious 5" gave up on Dawn, but that Dawn gave up on "Fast and Furious 5" and chose "Fast and Furious 5". "The Expendables", in this crisis of changing roles, Dawn was the one who always took the initiative. Coupled with the attention of "The Expendables" and Lionsgate Pictures, Dawn finally got his wish and got an improvement in his status in the industry..
If "The Expendables" can do well at the box office, he can still receive tens of millions of dollars in box office treatment for his next movie as expected. Of course, the prerequisite is the box office. Previously, Dawn chose "Fast and Furious 5". It is because of the strong recovery momentum of this series of works; the choice of "Suicide Squad" now is also due to the appeal of a group of veteran action superstars..
In the final analysis, box office is the only criterion for measuring the success of commercial films..
It is conceivable that there will be some head-to-head competition between Lionsgate Pictures and Universal Pictures in the future. However, Dawn chose "Suicide Squad" and Universal Pictures chose Renly. Both parties made bold and A risky decision, whether this is the right choice or the wrong choice, we can only wait until the two movies are released to find out..
In this increasingly hot gossip whirlpool, no one noticed that Jason Statham's performance in "The Expendables" was marginalized. After all, Jason's weight is still not enough.
First it was Universal Pictures’ official promotion, then Focus Pictures’ cooperation, and then Lionsgate’s miraculous assist... Originally it was just a simple change of actors, whether it was "Fast and Furious 5" , or "The Expendables". In the general decline of action movies, the attention attracted is very limited; but now, it has successfully created a large wave of topic effects, and the audience's attention to these two movies has skyrocketed..
From this perspective, everyone is a winner.
However, among the many winners, Renly is undoubtedly the biggest winner. In this dramatic and blockbuster news showdown, the name "Renly Hall" truly came into the public eye for the first time. , many of the previous auras have finally been successfully fulfilled, breaking the shackles of cyberspace and niche groups, spreading over a vast territory, and awareness and popularity are slowly rising at a speed visible to the naked eye..
From his debut on the small screen in early spring in March, to the arrival of golden autumn in October, Renly successfully completed the triple jump as a newcomer and established a firm foothold in the ranks of third-tier actors. As for whether he can successfully become a second-tier actor, then It depends on the results of "Buried Alive" and "Fast and Furious 5". Of course, there is also the movie "Crazy Love" that has been ignored by everyone.”.
But for Renly, these things are all false. He just finished filming "Crazy Love", and he was still immersed in the confused and discouraged mood. He must recover as soon as possible and devote himself to "Fast and Furious". /While filming "Love 5".
This is a passionate, charming, and hormonal movie. It also means that Renly will play an FBI agent with a completely different temperament. The performance is indeed extremely interesting. thing, isn't it?？
