Last year, Langley starred in "Star Trek". Annie Hathaway, Matt Damon, Jessica chastan and other All-Star lineups have become a hot topic. In the era of social networking, stars are hard to come by, and there are countless stars. There are more and more such All-Star films.
However, considering the script structure, role weight and pay figures, we must think twice before making an all-star work. Otherwise, we have spent countless efforts, but the rate of return can not meet the expectations, so there is no need to be so troublesome. After all, scheduling is not easy.
Different from the mainstream commercial films, "lobster" chose the All-Star lineup for reasons similar to Christopher Nolan, because oggs needs to invest more energy in style positioning, lens scheduling, picture composition and so on. Training actors is not their strong point.
In addition, this is the first English work of oggs. For the first time, he left the comfort field of the Greek market and officially stepped on the world stage. The All-Star lineup is undoubtedly an important weapon to open the market, just like the original "memory fragment" to Christopher Nolan.
Of course, oggs now and Nolan at that time are both directors of Xiaohe. It's unrealistic to hire super stars to play in their own works. It's undoubtedly the best choice to hire those strong and famous backbone actors.
Nolan hired guy pierce to play "memory fragment", but he was just a nobody at that time. This work has become a stepping stone for him to open the door of Hollywood, and is still a rare masterpiece, showing Nolan's unique control over the time line.
Now, oggs is a new director in Europe. He has won awards in Cannes and Venice, which makes him have more autonomy in the choice of actors and more attraction. Finally, he has created an all-star lineup that oggs is satisfied with.
In addition to lenley, Olivia Coleman and Leia Saidu were introduced by Tessa Ross. Oggs auditioned in person and expressed great satisfaction.
In addition, Rachel Weitz, Ben westshaw, Jessica Barden and John C. Riley are all the actors that Eugene talks with in person. This is the best choice that Eugene comes up with after writing the script, which perfectly fits the idea of the role and the performance requirements of Eugene.
Jessica Baden is only 22 years old this year, three years younger than Langley, but she has been in the film industry for nearly seven years, even two years earlier than Langley. She has appeared in "Hannah", "Anna", "vulgar strange talk" and other works, showing some of her ancient and strange performance temperament.
She's not the kind of actress who can surprise everyone, but is slightly eccentric. But she always has her own unique interpretation of the role. This kind of actor can always leave an impression in her mind - "it seems very familiar". Later, she won wide popularity by "going to the world of X".
In "lobster", she will play "the girl with nosebleed", a strange and unique role.
In the younger generation of actors, such a unique temperament is really very rare. At least, if LAN Lilai plays a similar role, it will be difficult for him to give the character a unique quality. Even if he imitates, it may be difficult to draw tiger skin and bone. This is the limitation of LAN Lilai's personal conditions.
John-c-riley is another case. John, 49 years old, has been active in the industry for more than 35 years, playing countless "ordinary man" images. His figure can be seen in such works as "Chicago", "all the time", "New York gangster" and "Aviator".
In recent years, he began to appear one after another in some comedy films, such as "non brother", "Galaxy guard", "ace announcer" and "invincible Destruction King", showing his comedy talent.
Although John is always playing a supporting role and rarely gets the chance to star, his ability to control different roles is very impressive. Under the appearance of dull and stupid performance, he can often reveal delicate emotions. The performance of lifting a heavy weight like a light can always bring different viewing experience, which makes him one of the golden supporting roles in Hollywood, He can be found in countless movies.
Growing up in Chicago, coupled with his chubby curly figure, few people notice that John is actually an Irishman——
He is still able to speak fluent English with Irish accent, which has become the most important opportunity for Augus to invite John to play "lobster".
And Rachel Weitz, who will play "shortsighted woman" in "lobster", the woman David falls in love with in the forest.
Rachel is the first character in the whole work to be determined by oggs. Even Jason Clark cooperates with Rachel to complete the selection, and so does Colin Farrell later. Rachel was born in 1970. In order to make the love between the hero and the heroine more convincing, oggs chooses Jason, who was born in 1969, As an alternative, Colin was born in 1976.
This is also one of the important reasons why he resisted Langley.
At the beginning, when Andy chose the script and the role, he used to tease the situation of lanli. Now lanli's leading roles are mainly in the middle of 30 to 13 years old, and the audience has gradually accepted lanli's image on the screen. It would be unfair for him to come back again and compete with young actors; More often, he sticks to his current position, and the age range of the role is relatively wide.
But the problem is that lanli's real age is just 25 years old. When producers and directors choose actors, they don't think about lanli for middle-aged roles, and they don't dare to think about lanli for young roles. In the end, they only have young roles, This also makes lanli always try his best to fight for the role. At the beginning, "tomorrow's edge" was changed into the youth army according to lanli's age. After that, lanli had to face the problem of age when choosing his works. Lanli spent a lot of effort to play in "star crossing" and "lobster".
In other words, on the one hand, Lan Li can only play a role that is relatively young and middle-aged; But on the other hand, among the really excellent middle-aged characters, lanli can't be the first choice, which has become a contradiction between lanli's choice of roles and the script, and it still exists objectively in the next few years.
Of course, not only Langley, but also Jennifer Lawrence is faced with the same problem. In the "happiness line behind the dark clouds" and "American scam", she plays the role of a mother in her early 30s. In later works such as "joy's struggle" and "mother", she starts to play the role of a mother early, Opposition actors are generally over 40 years old - and she is even one year younger than Langley, but this is a common problem that young Hollywood actors have to face.
After twists and turns, "lobster" crew finally decided to be played by Langley, oggs adjusted the role of David to 30 years old, but Rachel is still the heroine's choice.
There is no other reason. Rachel is the perfect choice in the eyes of Argus.
Deeply influenced by her mother, Rachel has been in the drama circle since she was a child. She has been trying all kinds of drama and stage performances since she was a student; Later, when she entered Cambridge University, she did not delay her studies, nor did she give up her performance. She wrote and directed many experimental dramas, and even toured all over the UK, which laid a solid foundation for her future career.
In 1996, Rachel played the role of Italian director benaldo Bertolucci's "stealing incense" and officially entered the film world; Three years later, "Mummy" has become a black horse at the box office. At the same time, it also makes Rachel's career reach the first peak, which is really well known and opens up the career situation.
After that, she left her own name in Hollywood for her works, such as "single parent student", "hell detective", "blueberry night", "spy 4" and "the wizard of Oz"; Not only that, her work "immortal gardener" in 2005 made her win countless attention in the award season, and finally won the best supporting actress.
Rachel is a typical British actor. She is quiet, reserved, tough and dedicated. She seldom appears in the news reports except for her acting work. Even paparazzi gossip is very rare. Even after winning the prize, her life has not changed much. She still chooses her favorite role conscientiously, This also predestined that Rachel is not a popular actor, but people in the industry have never spared their love for this actor
Her performance is always able to give the female characters a kind of fragile and strong unique texture. There is fire hidden in the cold, just like a rose with thorns; And it can be done at any time.
Incidentally, Rachel once had two marriages. Her ex husband was Darren arenovsky, a talented director who shot "Requiem of dreams" and "treasure source". They were also famous talented and beautiful women in the circle, and had a son. Unfortunately, they ended up breaking up at the end of 2010; Later, Rachel remarried, her husband is the new "007" Daniel Craig, which has become a lot of fans talk about.
Although she is now over 40 years old, Rachel still has her own unique charm. Her mature and cold femininity always makes people ignore the existence of age. It's not a sense of girlhood, but a temperament beyond age, which quietly blooms fragrance, and not everyone can appreciate it. This is also the reason why Eugene likes Rachel, As new actresses emerge in an endless stream throughout Hollywood, he still firmly believes that Rachel is the most suitable choice for the whole film. The difference between Europe and North America can also be seen from the side.
Accompanied by westshaw and Leia, Langley and Olivia walk into the lobby of the hotel, and then he notices Rachel's presence at first sight.
