The Behind-the-scenes Production of The Devil's End

Schwarzenegger's works after heart surgery. The film tries to combine supernatural stories with action thrillers, and gives Arnold's action movies a religious color.

The end of the world is the eternal worry of mankind. With the coming of the new century, the movie Armageddon has revived the fear of the unknown. The movie story leads the audience from the Vatican to new york with a thrilling story, which once again touches the hot topic that attracts the attention of the whole world: Will the end of the Millennium become the end of the world? When disaster forecasters predict that the Millennium crisis, planetary arrangement, earthquakes and meteor showers will destroy the earth, people all over the world are quietly waiting for the unknown future, and Armageddon is the product of this extraordinary period. Producer Ameen Bernstein said: "This film explores ancient religious themes including heaven and hell, faith and death, and we hope to please the audience." After exchanging views with Bernstein, the screenwriter Andrew W. Marlowe finished the script of this film, in which the protagonist was tailor-made for Arnold Schwarzenegger. "I have always wanted to cooperate with Arnold," Marlowe said. "I began to review the various roles he played in each film and his opponents. What is unprecedented for us? So, I thought of the strongest enemy in human history, that is Satan. " Schwarzenegger said, "This is a great play, very timely. I was on vacation in Hawaii when Andrew found me. Indeed, in my acting career, Satan in Armageddon is the strongest opponent. Everyone is very concerned about the Millennium. "The Cataclysm" is the only movie that discusses all related topics such as the end of the world and the return of Satan, and the Bible accounts for a large proportion in the story. " Producer Bill Borden said: "Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance on the big screen is fascinating. He not only completed his own action drama, but also reflected the profound emotional course of the characters. " Schwarzenegger said: "In the past two years, I have been trying to find suitable movies and roles, and Armageddon is not only an action movie and a horror movie, but also has a certain emotional depth, which is exactly what I hope to try." The screenwriter Marlowe agrees: "Arnold once played a superhero above life. I hope that he will return to ordinary people in this film, and he is still a little down and out. " The producer was lucky enough to invite peter hyams, who directed and filmed "Double Stars Catch the Moon", "Pusidi Base" and "Surprised Pear Blossom" for 20 10 years, as the director and photography director of this film. Bernstein said: "hymes has made many films about supernatural, horror, action and science fiction, and his skills of shuttling between various types of films left a deep impression on me." For the creative staff, truth is the key to shooting. Hymes said: "If the audience doesn't believe the situation of the characters in the film, you can't scare the audience." The crew must create a dark and dirty new york in Los Angeles, and the old Los Angeles area built in the 1920s and 1930s came in handy. However, some scenes in the film must be shot in new york. 1999 On New Year's Eve, the crew filmed the corresponding action scenes in the film at the New Year celebration in Times Square, new york. Richard Holland, the artistic director of this film, works closely with hymes, trying to create an uneasy scene and atmosphere with color and light. "We rebuilt an old station to accommodate the underground temple in the movie," Holland said. "In order to make the temple look shabby, I got design inspiration from photos of Chernobyl." When shooting the temple scene, the crew used 500 extras.
