Brief introduction of film

2008 is a turning point for the new generation to worship the new generation of heroes. Forget the social mission and the so-called morality and responsibility, only remember one name: Wesley Gibson.

Wesley has just entered the golden age of 25. However, for a man who likes to escape from reality by nature, his life has reached the final stage of mixed eating and waiting for death. However, in the life created by personality and chance, many current situations are contributed by himself bit by bit ... In short, Wesley hates the situation he faces, because such a life makes him full of failures: at work, Wesley's big boss insults him almost every hour, and has regarded torturing him as a great pleasure in life; At home, Wesley's girlfriend, like a sexy stunner, turned a blind eye to him, turned a blind eye. Everyone believes that an idle slacker like Wesley will eventually accomplish nothing. Worst of all, even Wesley thinks so himself. In his view, the meaning of life is to kill time and wait for death-until he meets a woman named Fox, everything changes.

Wesley always believed that his biological father had died as early as the moment he was born. However, the situation is not as simple as he thought. Fox brought him the truth: his father was murdered yesterday, and she was ordered to take Wesley back to finish his father's unfinished business ... The fatal attraction of Fox made Wesley join the Mutual Aid Association with her without hesitation, a secret social organization that has existed for centuries. While Fox taught Wesley how to cultivate lightning-fast reaction and extraordinary agility, he also found that this organization has always adhered to an ancient and unbreakable belief: to carry out the death entrusted by fate.

Under the guidance of a group of highly skilled and talented tutors, including Si Long, the enigmatic leader of the "Mutual Aid Association", Wesley began to be deeply fascinated by his powerful potential, but gradually, he also realized that hidden behind these dangerous "companions" were secrets invisible to the naked eye, especially when carrying out assassination missions. Caught in the new development of heroism and revenge anger, Wesley will learn a fact that no one can teach him: fate is in his own hands.

Cool is the ultimate goal pursued by the Assassins' League. Whether it's the fantasy special training of the righteous warrior, the unique "time to bend bullets", the amazing skill of crossing Yang, the secret assassin organization, or the fiery red sports car of the Sun Watcher, every second is filled with the initial hearty. The original coolness also means that the extremely cool male and female protagonists always show their own hot and sexy-from bold physical temptation to lingering French kiss, from close combat to jumping over the train, ensuring that the audience will be excited.

Sharp pictures and flamboyant style, violence, nudity and sexiness are "not suitable for children", "bold actions make the audience dumbfounded" (the director's original words) and many incredible deadly weapons have long made people forget to investigate Brad Pitt's failure to reproduce the episode of Mr. and Mrs. Smith with his girlfriend because of his age, and forget to investigate Morgan Freeman's regret of cutting many plays in order to take care of "big shot" Julie. Forgetting to investigate the possible congenital defects in the adaptation of comics makes people forget to investigate whether the new Russian director can bring brilliant business records from the first "migration" of Siberia in ice and snow to the sunny west coast. Because at the very least, this will be a dazzling sensory feast that combines special effects, action and thriller elements!

The biggest feature of the film is to give a close-up of the bullet in slow motion, so that the bullet can pass through the corner. The director said that the trajectory of the bullet was inspired by the missile. He saw the missile launch on TV, hoping that the bullet would take the same arc. So the killers in the film used a special technique to shoot, that is, "shaking the hand bowl". The bullets in their guns are not loaded, so they don't shoot according to a certain trajectory, but shoot in a certain arc through the action of cutting their hands, and finally bypass the obstacles in front and hit the target behind. At first, many actors thought it strange to practice this shooting method. It was not until Morgan Freeman, a veteran movie star, took the lead in believing in its feasibility and successfully completed it that other actors followed suit. Of course, the director said that these shooting methods are nonsense, and the audience must not learn!

The film uses a lot of computer special effects, including the most wonderful scene of a train falling off a cliff. Except for the close-up parts of the actors, they are all computer special effects. And those mice, the director said, he wanted to shoot some real mice, but he really hated mice, so he gave up and relied on computers. Although they are all computer special effects, the director's purpose this time is to create some new visual feelings different from the past. He said, "100% is unique and cool to the extreme, which is what I want to pursue in this movie. And I want to bring the emotions of the characters into the action, so that the audience can feel their true feelings through the behavior of these characters. "

Behind the scenes production:

Comic adaptation film

Cool, unique, experienced, cynical, full of creative spirit, film genius-these words can be used to describe Russian director timur bekmambetov who has quickly occupied a place in the mainstream American film industry in recent years. It is because of his extraordinary imagination that this Kazakh Guriev can finally shoot his first English work "Wanted Man" in the United States. He cooperated with both savvy and resourceful producers and the star-studded Big Cass, but most importantly, all this was done under the protection of Universal Pictures, which occupies an important position in Hollywood.

Before introducing the inspiration source of the wanted man, it is also necessary to briefly understand some background details: In 2004, after the release of The Night's Watch directed by timur bekmambetov, it caused waves of ripples in the film industry, not only in Russia, but also in Hollywood, the movie holy land. The night watchman's budget only spent a small $654.38+08,000, but the box office in Russia alone exceeded $654.38+06,000-a figure that has surpassed that of The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings appeared, and this figure has always been at the top of the Russian box office. Watchman's sequel was released in Russia in early 2006. This film is once again sought after by people with a very low budget of $4.2 million, and the local box office is also popular all the way, earning nearly $40 million.

At the same time, in the United States, several producers of Marc Platt Film Production Company are in contact with cartoonists mark millar and J·G· Jones for business talks on their series of cartoons "The Wanted Man", and found the dark and creative legendary story told in the cartoons at the first time, which has great film potential. However, after the cartoon is adapted into a movie, its theme will need an irregular change in order to cater to the changes in the media. This stems from the original work and pays attention to a group of villains with super powers. Together, they split the world into several factions, and the struggle never stopped ... After determining the goal, the producers began to look for filmmakers with enough innovative ability to direct the film. They agreed to make the wanted man into a movie. This candidate, after the producer saw the night watchman, immediately surfaced. They take it for granted that with such a pitiful budget, timur bekmambetov can create an action movie full of gorgeous visual enjoyment. When he has more budget funds to mobilize, he will be able to release his energetic views as a filmmaker and his unique perception of dark elements more easily, and this will be given to him, not just a movie with huge material resources.

Mark Pratt, the producer, explained his views on this: "Watching timur bekmambetov's movies is an unprecedented and unique experience. The visual language he used is so peculiar and remarkable that people are stunned and excited at the same time. Beckman Betov instilled a movie sound in his works that you can't ignore. I hope his precious ability can make the original comic series burst into new brilliance and energy on the big screen. We all expect him to bring us an excellent work that is wonderful, practical and easy to be understood by the audience. "

Stylized black humor

Jim lemley has always been a loyal supporter of timur bekmambetov, and now he finally has the opportunity to join his work "Wanted Order" as a producer. Lemley said: "It took us almost two years from the first edition of the script to the filming. In our opinion, the adaptation of the work needs a starting point in the right direction, that is, how to perfectly extract the story view that conforms to the big screen from the original work, and then raise the picture to a comfortable level through the unique photoelectric effect of the film-because even though the original comic has described the bizarre style, no one can guarantee that the same thing can produce the same effect in the film. "

No, jim lemley fully expressed his trust in timur bekmambetov's unique visual stunts in his previous works. He went on to say, "You can put three people, including Beckman Betov, in the same room and take the same picture with the same camera ... Only Beckman Betov can bring you unique surprises and shocks."

Regarding his views on vision, picture and imagination, timur bekmambetov's comment is: "It feels like 65,438+000 different ideas are all crammed into my head, and every idea is fighting with each other and pushing each other to get rid of it ... I think it may be because of this chaotic' brain thinking' that a brand-new film style has been achieved, which contains things that people have never seen before, and I hope to be able to.

Indeed, timur bekmambetov has a magical power. By creating a fantastic realism, each of his works has distinctive features-at least he thinks that every gorgeous and fantastic action movie should be based on realism. As a director, Beckman Betov pays special attention to refining all the story elements he can master, because he must ensure that his firm beliefs can be integrated into every scene of the film. Beckman Betov said: "Although" Wanted Order "is my first English work, it is not much different from the films I directed before, as long as I think about how to establish communication with the audience. I will try my best to explore their preferences and then make really good works for them, so that they know that I am actually good at telling stories. "

Timur bekmambetov's way and distorted style in the process of film production have been changed and improved accordingly as he entered the American film industry. Mark Pratt, the producer, added: "Beckman Betov has brought a powerful satire to The Wanted, just like all his previous works, not by that stupid and extensive way, but by borrowing black humor to pave the way and extend, constantly polishing the hidden words and manners. What he brings to the film is irony and cold humor. Whether it is narrative angle or visual style, it gives the wanted man a unique atmosphere. "

Fortunately, black humor is one of the sources of original comics. In the past 10 years, this comic series created by mark millar and J G Jones has become one of the best-selling works in the independent field. Even all filmmakers involved in film production have an irresistible reverence for the original author of comics.
