674 Cast list
Renly looked at Paul in front of him, with a trace of astonishment in his eyes. Is this the reincarnation of history?？
In the last life, Paul did not participate in the creation of this work in any form; but in this life, after going round and round, Paul still proposed the name "Edge of Tomorrow", and the movie finally returned to its origin. Is this a coincidence or not? destiny? Or...the butterfly effect？
“What's wrong? Don't like it? Paul noticed Renly's surprise. He didn't think much about it. He held his chin and chewed carefully, "Indeed, the name is a bit literary and artistic. It's not as straightforward as a commercial movie. It doesn't seem to have any big-selling potential. But, I think this name is quite suitable for what we just discussed. Don't you like it?？”
“Haha." Renly chuckled and shook his head, "No, that's not what I meant. I was just thinking. Why not ask everyone for their opinions? "Is the name "Edge of Tomorrow" one of the reasons for the box office failure of the movie in the previous life? Renly is not a market researcher, so he has no way of knowing. So whether he will continue to use it in this life, Renly decided to leave it to fate, "Guys,' Edge of Tomorrow', what do you think? Paul thought.”
Everyone fell silent and chewed the name carefully..
Lucinda nodded, "I think it's pretty good. At least, I will walk into the cinema out of curiosity. The name sounds a bit like Nolan.".”
Derek raised his right hand high, "I like it!" and then looked at Billy excitedly, "What do you think? This name is very consistent with the theme we just discussed..”
Billy shrugged, "I'm not good at this. But, it's not bad..”
Finally, all eyes were focused on Tim. But Tim did not react, but kept repeating, "Edge of Tomorrow. Edge of Tomorrow. Edge of Tomorrow.".”
The way he looked like there was no one around, mumbling to himself, really made people laugh. Paul looked over and said, "If you say your lines like this in the West End of London, you will definitely be kicked off the stage, right?" The corners of Renly's mouth slightly raised because of Paul's words lifted up the.
As he was talking, Tim came back to his senses. When he looked up, he saw that he had become the focus of everyone. He blinked, not knowing why, Lucinda reminded him, and Tim nodded repeatedly, "I I think this name is very good. It has a sci-fi feel and fits our theme. That’s it.！”
Finally, all eyes turned to Renly. At this moment, Renly felt the real meaning brought by the title of "Executive Producer".
“Then, the next step is to see what Frank Marshall means." Renly's answer was unexpected but reasonable. The whole topic started because of Frank, and it will naturally return to Frank in the end. What's more, everyone present They all focus on film production and know little about business and market considerations. In the final analysis, Frank still has to make the decision..
Everyone nodded in agreement. Lucinda saw this and intervened at the right time, "So, the discussion of the script has been stopped for now. I know that in order to re-create, you still need to continue discussing, but I need a little time." Lucinda's style suddenly became simple and direct. Both Derek and Tim wanted to interrupt, but Lucinda didn't pause at all. She just stopped her with her eyes, and then continued, "Currently, the roles have been carried out. After two rounds of auditions, I have selected some waiting lists. You can give me some opinions. I will conduct auditions based on your opinions later..”
As she spoke, Lucinda took out her laptop from the side, "Each actor has three videos, one is the interview video they shot themselves, and the first and second round videos. If you are interested, click to take a look and give me some opinions..”
Billy immediately waved his hands impatiently, "This is not my job." After saying that, he lowered his head and began to write and draw in his notebook. Derek, who was sitting next to him, had a look on his face. Curious, but Billy didn't give him a chance and bumped Derek with his shoulder, "Come back to your senses. Let's make an outline of what we just talked about."……”
Derek lowered his head in depression, but it was only for a moment, and then he cheered up again and got into work..
Paul took the laptop and found the folder under Lucinda's instructions; Tim stood up and walked behind Paul, and the two began to browse the names of each folder, which were the names of each actor..
Lucinda raised her head and saw Renly who was motionless, "Aren't you going to give me some advice?？”
Renly chuckled and replied, "It's a little weird to be the one being judged not so long ago, and now I'm judging everyone else." Executive Producer Renly now feels it, but the real execution There are still many things that need to be adapted to, and every aspect of film production is definitely not that simple..
“The decision should be left to Paul." If it were Tom Cruise, then he would have to check every actor and build the cast entirely with him as the core, but for Renly, the movie as a whole is more important. , with Paul's opinions as the core, select actors and make sure that each actor's style can serve the movie. However, Renly can still make some suggestions, "Apart from the video, is there a list?？”
“Yes." Lucinda looked at Renly in confusion, not quite understanding the meaning of Renly's move..
There are thousands of actors in Hollywood, and it is almost impossible to identify an actor with his or her face just by their name. As a casting director, Lucinda has gone through three rounds of selection, and now she is on the list. The actors had a relatively deep impression; but Renly had never seen the audition video and asked for the list without thinking. What's the use? Do you want to play the game of selecting soldiers and generals?？
Despite this, Lucinda didn't ask too much. She took out a list from the briefcase next to her and handed it to Renly. This list was what she was going to briefly record her opinions on, including the director, screenwriter or producer. Does the filmmaker have any actors that are of particular interest, or have special requirements?.
Renly took it and seemed to be aware of Lucinda's doubts, but he did not explain, but asked, "How is it? Are there many actors coming to audition?"？”
“Not much. But there are still some." Lucinda is also an honest person who tells the truth..
Without a big-name actor or a big-name director, it is not easy for the crew to attract more outstanding actors to join. However, there are actors seeking jobs in Hollywood every day, so any crew can find auditions. actors, even a small independent crew like "Buried Alive".
Renly raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh, I'm relieved. I thought the curse of the media had taken effect." This made Lucinda smile..
The first part of the list is the heroine candidate.
“The heroine of "Edge of Tomorrow" is Rita Woratski. She is a female warrior. After aliens invaded the earth, they occupied the entire European continent with overwhelming force, and it was still spreading further. After the Battle of Verdun, In the film, Rita emerged, defeated the aliens, and won mankind's first victory against the aliens. As a result, she was hailed as the "Angel of Verdun" and became a national hero..
In fact, Rita is the same as Cage. They both unexpectedly possess the ability to reincarnate in time and space. This is also the reason why Rita won the Battle of Verdun. Unfortunately, Rita subsequently lost this ability, and now it is Cage's turn. Cage, Rita hopes that Cage can replicate her original miracle and lead mankind to victory.
Corresponding to Cage, Rita is also a character with considerable depth. She witnessed her lover die a hundred times, but was unable to do anything about it; she personally experienced the torture of infinite killing cycles and was reborn in Nirvana; she was more powerful than anyone else. People are more eager to defeat the aliens, just for revenge - because she no longer has any relatives.
Compared with Cage's growth and development, other characters in the story are relatively fixed, because they continue to reincarnate on the same day, and Rita is no exception. Therefore, the spark between Rita and Cage, this It depends on the actor.
First of all, the two people have a friendship of fighting side by side. Rita can feel the vicissitudes in Cage's eyes. Although she doesn't know what Cage was like "one day ago", nor does she know what effect this repeated "day" has on Cage. What impact did it bring, because every time she restarted, her memory would be reset to zero, but the two of them felt the same way, and the bond between Rita and Cage also deepened invisibly..
Secondly, people can complain about the mutual love between two people, which is a common problem in Hollywood routines. The male and female protagonists must have a spark of love, but in this work, the entanglement and intertwining of the two people's fates has truly created a... A kind of spark in different time and space but connected in heart.
In the end, Rita is not a vase, she is a warrior reborn from the ashes, iron-blooded and tough, but deep down there is vulnerability and sadness..
This is also the most special thing about the movie compared to the previous one. Cage and Rita are both typical action movie characters. From beginning to end, the pleasure brought by the action scenes is the main attraction; but both characters are Carrying their own connotations and depths, they fit the theme of reincarnation in the movie and tell the meaning of war, life and time..
Therefore, the role requires that he be an excellent action actor and also an excellent drama actor. There are not many such actors in Hollywood..
What should not be forgotten is that Renly. As an actor, Renly meets two requirements at the same time, which is undoubtedly lucky; but the problem is that he is only twenty-one years old, even if a man can grow a beard to increase his vision Age, but the selection of actresses is still limited to those under thirty years old. Otherwise, the chemical reaction between the two protagonists will not be convincing, and the so-called love line will be nonsense. For the ambitious crew members Bad news, definitely bad news.
As a result, options that were already scarce are now even more valuable..
In the last life, Emily Blunt completed the task brilliantly; in this life, the script is likely to go further, so who can take on such an important task?？
