"Famous director Duke Rosenberg’s new sci-fi action film has finally determined the actor. He is Leonardo DiCaprio. This will be their second collaboration. ￡∝,"

"This film is written and directed by Duke, and the plot information is still in a state of high secrecy like its previous work "Furious Road". At present, Warner only stated that the film is a'contemporary background.' "Science fiction film", tells about the "internal structure of the mind" and "dreams"."

Since July, "Inception" was officially established. Under the control of Warner Bros., the media has continued to hype news about Duke's new film. Even if the hot summer vacation is not over, it has occupied the front page of quite a lot of entertainment media. Headlines easily attracted a lot of attention.

And all kinds of related news are still breaking out.

"Duke Rosenberg's new work has officially confirmed the title. The literal translation of the English name of "Inception" shows that this is a theme related to dreams! It is said that this will be a masterpiece of stream of consciousness!"

Dreams are one of the most mysterious existences in humans, but the past movies related to dreams are always very obscure. Just when the public hesitated about Duke’s choice, Leonardo DiCaprio was timely by Warner Bros. Pushed it out, accepted an interview, and answered this question.

"To be honest, I didn't understand Duke's script too much. It takes a very smart person to understand it."

Leonardo said to a reporter from Entertainment Weekly, "I think after the completion of Inception, many people will be scratching their heads. Believe me because I am one of them. I don’t know where to start. , I don’t know what I’m supposed to say. Duke’s dream interpretation movie is definitely very good, because it’s exciting, and there are many action scenes. He is surreal, and all under his control. He wrote the movie, you have to ask him If he does, he can definitely explain it to you very well."

Very exciting! Many action scenes!

This is the focus of subsequent media rendering, and many fans are completely relieved after seeing it.

While Duke was preparing the film, various related information was gradually disclosed by the media.

"Inception is expected to cost 180 million U.S. dollars. It will be released in the summer archive next year!"

"Joseph Gordon Levitt became the second main actor Duke decided to use after Leonardo DiCaprio!"

"Charlize Theron claimed in an interview that he would continue to star in Duke Rosenberg's new film..."

"Scarlett Johansson and James Franco passed the audition and will serve as Leonardo DiCaprio's assistants in Duke Rosenberg's new film!"

Since the establishment of this project, Warner Bros. has spared no effort in publicizing and building momentum. They are very clear that with this type of film, there will only be two results, but they have enough confidence in Duke. Convinced that as long as it works properly, it must be a billion-dollar masterpiece.

And from the very beginning of the entire propaganda, Warner Bros. has formulated a clear propaganda strategy. Leonardo mentioned this when accepting the propaganda, and the subsequent people also mentioned it when accepting the propaganda.

After the crew announced that Michael Caine and Cyrian Murphy had passed auditions, the two actors accepted an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Michael Kane, who played "Butler Alfred" in the Batman series, admits that he has very few roles in the film, and he is slightly better than a guest actor. The crew even kept him on high alert and prevented him from seeing the complete script.

"They don't allow me to read the script. I can only read the page I played, and Duke is too mysterious." When talking about his role, Kane simply summarized, "Leonardo ?DiCaprio plans to do a scientific experiment, and everyone is assisting him. This is what I know."

Cillian Murphy, who has played the role of "The Scarecrow", has many roles. But he kept silent about the role he played, and just said in general, "This is the third film I have worked with Duke. He showed me the entire script. The story is very, very complicated and amazing. It takes a lot of time. Only smart can understand, I can’t wait, er, hope it will come out soon next year."

When asked to introduce more details about the film, Cillian Murphy firmly declined, on the grounds that "this film is so unique."

"This is completely an innovation. It does not belong to any genre. The film incorporates a variety of different elements, and all come from Duke’s imagination. I have never seen anything similar to it in my lifetime. s things."

When the time entered the end of July, the crew held the first press conference since the establishment of the project and announced the cast. The strong cast of the cast made the media and movie fans speechless.

Leonardo DiCaprio played the protagonist Cobb, the soul of the team; the new-generation red star Joseph Gordon Levitt played his assistant; James Franco played one of his partners; Green The giant Mark Ruffalo served as his other assistant; Oscar actress Charlize Theron played his beloved wife; Scarlett Johansson, the "Black Widow", played a female college student named Adrian, in the play It is Leonardo’s partner; Japanese actor Ken Watanabe plays the villain Saito...

Such a lineup can brighten the eyes of blind people even if it is placed in the star-shining Hollywood, and the degree of sensation it can cause can be imagined.

And this is why Duke set a budget of 180 million US dollars. Compared with the previous one, almost all of the extra budget is used for the actors' salary.

Throughout the press conference, the media reporters were almost crazy, because even in the star-studded Los Angeles, apart from the awards ceremony, there are rarely so many stars appearing on the same occasion, especially when they will star in the same movie. .

It is no exaggeration to say that Inception has assembled a fantastic and luxurious lineup.

Of course, apart from the stars, the media are most concerned about the film itself. At the end of the press conference, almost all the questions were directed at the director Duke.

In order to promote the need, Duke also appropriately mentioned some related information about the film, but as in the past, many of them are lies carefully prepared by public relations personnel.

"Filming "Inception" will be the biggest challenge I have experienced. We have to tell a large-scale story and shoot a real brain-burning film. I will add more things different from the past to this film."

When a reporter asked about the creative source of the film, Duke did not hesitate to follow the publicity plan formulated by Warner and started nonsense, "I hope to have enough time to complete this film because of what I want to express. They are all questions that I have been thinking about since I was 20 years old. I had completed the first draft of the script seven or eight years ago, but the progress of the story was much further than I thought. It touched the real dream and the half-dream The relationship between states."

Speaking of dreams, Duke said a few more words, "The dreams produced by the human brain can accommodate all realistic scenes. I have not encountered the limit of this behavior in my research. It is like walking on a beach, You can look around and grab a handful of fine sand on the beach. I tried to test this truth by manipulating the "lucid dream". My script is based on these common and relatively simple truths. The only thing that looks weird in the movie is that technology allows people to invade other people’s brains and share the same dream with another person at the same time."

Another reporter asked about Duke's views on cooperation with Leonardo DiCaprio.

“I and Leo are friends, very close friends. I know he is suitable for the extraordinary character in this magical story. When I created this character, I also borrowed Leo’s image and characteristics. Leo’s joining was not only Just as a big movie star, he can also break the gap between science fiction movies and let more people walk into this story."

Saying something suitable for publicity is completely easy for Duke. "Leo always has a lot of ideas. He will think from the perspective of the character, while also taking into account the role and role the character can play in this story. The development of the whole story. Talking with him is usually very interesting. It will greatly advance the development of the whole shooting. I think the emotional world of this character is much more driven by the story than when it first started."

Having said that, Duke will not expose some real ideas to the media. For example, in his plan, "Inception" will be an action science fiction film.

That's right, this film is first an action science fiction film, and then the others.

As for the reason, the production cost of the film 180 million US dollars determines that the final film can only be a popular film, not a niche genre.

In addition, this film has only been prepared for one year since it was released. Duke does not have so much time and energy to build a real scene. The film will use g technology on a large scale. Except for a small number of real scene shots that need to be shot around the world, most The scenes will be shot on a green screen in the studio of Warner Studios.

Duke is different from the previous director after all.

The former director extremely rejected gi and thought that computer technology was worthless, but he had different opinions like Duke’s propaganda. He used a lot of gi to produce images in every film or relied on computer technology to deal with him. The so-called live shooting scene.

Just like Duke, in this circle, in order to promote or establish their own style, many people say and do different things.

Whether it’s live shooting or gi computer technology, smart directors never stick to one item. Duke is not a genius, but he is also not a fool. "Inception" will use something similar to "Transformers." Shooting method, part of the real scene shooting with a large number of g composite lens. (To be continued.)
