Picking up Keira Knightley from Disney Studios, Matthew went back to his house and took a look before entering the house. The paparazzi who stayed here all night last month disappeared without a trace. It's not just the residential area. He has observed it carefully recently, and unless he encounters it by chance, there are basically few paparazzi chasing him and Keira Knightley.
Gossip and gossip are time-sensitive. His cohabitation with Keira Knightley has basically exhausted the enthusiasm of bystanders. In addition, this is Los Angeles, and stars who get together and break up every day appear from time to time. It has been gradually forgotten.
After entering the room, Keira Knightley leaned on the sofa, continued the conversation in the car, and said angrily to Matthew, "I really don't understand what you think, leaving a male protagonist like "King Arthur" and not answering , but to act in a non-mainstream zombie movie."
"Honey," said Matthew, sitting next to Keira Knightley, taking her by the shoulders, "who is this that pissed you off?"
Keira Knightley leaned on Matthew, hummed comfortably, and said, "You'll be like me after training all morning!" Then, she realized something was wrong, "Forget it, you kind of People, training a day is also full of energy."
She brought the topic back again, "I've always wondered why you want to take on such a film."
"It's easy to get back to the original." Matthew said part of the real reason, "The original film has a certain audience base, and the remake will also have the most basic audience, otherwise why does Hollywood always like to remake old old movies. ?"
He also explained, "The production cost of the film is only 28 million US dollars, the return is relatively simple, and I have a little appeal myself."
Keira Knightley was lying in Matthew's arms and shouted, "What do you mean by a little appeal? You have a strong appeal now!" She snorted in dissatisfaction and muttered, "What three protagonists are obviously two males. The protagonist plus a supporting actress! The sequel must add drama to me! Otherwise, I will not sign!"
Matthew didn't answer her, instead asking, "When do you guys start filming?"
"There are still more than two weeks." Keira Knightley thought for a while and said, "The crew will go to England on the 20th."
"We're going to break up before you go to England." Matthew looked at Keira Knightley. "Not much time."
"Well, it's getting closer and closer to breaking up." Keira Knightley is also nodding.
Matthew and Keira Knightley then discussed the timing and details of the breakup.
The two snuggle closely together, but they talk about how to break up, and they don't care about each other, as if they have been integrated by the Hollywood environment.
"Time is running out!" Matthew picked up Keira Knightley and walked to his room, "We can't waste it."
Keira Knightley seemed to agree very much, saying, "I have a rest for the past two days, so don't go out."
Matthew said with a smile, "Even if we break up, I'm here to welcome you back at any time."
"OK!"
Throughout the first ten days of August, Matthew was mostly busy with the preparations for "Dawn of the Living Dead" except for two days of hiding at home with Keira Knightley. Since the male protagonist in the script is set to be a fighting master, he As long as the training in the fitness club is maintained,
No need to train alone before shooting.
As for the use of firearms in the filming of the film, Sean Daniel had an exchange with Matthew and learned that he had received professional firearms training in the "Black Hawk Down" crew, and he was not allowed to enter the crew for advance training.
In fact, starting from the role of Captain Ronald Spears in "Band of Brothers", Matthew is a very reassuring actor who is well-known among producers and directors.
Filming will start at the end of this month, and the "Dawn of the Living Dead" crew still has a lot of work to do. For example, because of Matthew's salary negotiation, most of the other actors have not yet been finalized. After Sean Daniel gave Matthew a lot of information, I asked him to talk in detail with director Zach Snyder several times. Out of his understanding of him, he no longer cared about him as the male lead, and his main energy was on selecting other actors.
Matthew also knew that Helen Herman took advantage of his male protagonist and got a lot of opportunities in the crew. The young actors of Angel Agency will appear in large numbers in the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead", serving as some different actors. What an important supporting role.
For example, he heard from the front desk of Angel Agency that Alexandra Daddario had passed the audition and would play a girl whose father turned into a zombie.
According to his wild thoughts, this can actually be a highlight of the film. Think about it, bloodthirsty zombies are chasing after him, Alexandra Daddario desperately runs away, maybe it will shock many viewers...
I just don't know if Zach Snyder would have designed it that way.
He had a great time communicating with Zach Snyder. Maybe he could find a suitable opportunity to make such a small suggestion?
Matthew still remembers watching an earthquake movie played by Big Johnson, the daughter on it seems to be played by Alexandra Daddario, whenever there is an earthquake with Alexandra Daddario present The lens is really shocking.
In addition, the most important supporting actress among all the supporting roles in the film has not been finalized by the crew.
As far as Matthew knows, Helen Herman also has ideas for the role, but unfortunately there is no suitable actress to impress Sean Daniel.
Matthew couldn't say anything about the actor. After a simple attention, he returned to a very regular work and life state. In the morning, he studied the script, found someone to play with, and read related materials at the Angel Agency. In the afternoon, he went to the fitness club for training, and in the evening. Last minute enjoyment with Keira Knightley.
Among the materials provided by the "Dawn of the Living Dead" crew, there is a lot of information about zombies, and even Sean Daniel got the sample book of the "Zombie Survival Manual" that has not yet been released. Learn more and find that zombies have formed a unique zombie culture throughout North America and beyond.
At the earliest time, the word Zombie (zombie, zombie) originated from a mysterious religion popular in Ghana, West Africa, voodoo, which was later spread to the West Indies in the 16th century due to the slave trade of white colonists. of Haiti.
It is said that in this religion, wizards have a mysterious ritual that can resurrect the dead and become zombies for them to drive.
This is the original origin of the zombie concept.
To talk about the earliest Hollywood zombie movies, it can be traced back to the 1930s.
The zombie movie mentioned in the information is "White Zombie" starring the famous vampire actor Bella Lugosi in 1932.
In order to have a clearer grasp of the zombie movie culture in Hollywood, Matthew specially found this movie to watch. Unexpectedly, this movie is completely different from modern zombie movies. It tells the story of a voodoo wizard who uses witchcraft The story of turning people into zombies and letting them work day and night in the sugar factory to make money for their work. In this movie, zombies neither eat people nor rot their limbs, but their skin is pale like a corpse. On the contrary, its endless work makes people feel pity.
This is also the difference between zombies in voodoo religion and zombie images in modern popular culture. Zombies in voodoo beliefs are only products of witchcraft. Although they kill people under the instructions of wizards, they are not essentially the same. Cannibalism will not make the victim a zombie by biting.
So how did the zombie develop into its current image? There are also related narratives in the data. Later, someone added a little inspiration from the rabies virus to the zombies.
Thus, the modern zombie was born: virus, infection, aggression, irrationality, and death.
The image of zombies in the true sense of modern pop culture was born, and its widespread dissemination was completed in the film "Night of the Living Dead" directed by George-A-Romero in 1968. Zombies are no longer simple and rigid. The image of the coolie being controlled by others has instead turned into a terrifying image of immortality, rotting limbs, and biting the living.
George-A-Romero has also become a veritable father of modern zombie films. His "living dead series trilogy" not only highlights the current shortcomings, but also has distinct characteristics of the times, as well as bloody, violent and eye-opening zombies. The scene has influenced countless zombie movies that followed, and also established several general developments for the later zombie culture. It can be called the "Three Laws of Robots" in the zombie world, and it is still in use today.
Therefore, the routines of zombie movies are generally similar. First of all, unexplained factors make the dead "resurrect" and become zombies. Zombies themselves do not have any consciousness and thinking ability, relying on instinctive activities, and their only nature is to eat human flesh.
Secondly, zombies will be infected, and people who are bitten by zombies will quickly become zombies after death.
In the end, the zombie is in a state of immortality, so no matter how you hurt his body, the zombie will continue to move. The only way to incapacitate it is to headshot, which makes many zombie movies look bloody. , the thrill of headshots is unparalleled, and most zombie movies are a feast of headshots.
In addition to the inherent attributes of horror, zombie movies often have attributes such as doomsday and disaster. Therefore, the focus of zombie movies is often not zombies, but humans in extreme environments. How they choose is to rely on each other and help each other. Or kill others for their own survival...
Matthew has read these materials, and the biggest feeling is that if there is a possibility of a zombie outbreak, the most unfortunate thing is not to become a zombie, but to survive human beings, and the survivors are the real walking dead.
After this regular life continued for a week, and Keira Knightley was getting closer to the UK, it was time for the temporary couple Matthew and Keira Knightley to part ways. ) Download Free Reader!!
