Christopher Nolan, like Evan Bell, is a man who insists on using his team, and he is even more serious than Evan Bell. Evan Bell's directorial works so far are all a team, and they have been used with ease, but in the choice of actors, they are very diverse, from unknown newcomers to top super big names, they will not deliberately avoid taboos ; and Christopher Nolan always has a cast of actors who stick with it. This time is no exception.
After getting a definite answer from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the role of Arthur was officially handed over to Evan Bell's best friend. "The second collaboration after that. Subsequently, Christopher Nolan and Evan Bell confirmed the arrangement of a number of roles.
Michael Caine, the two-time Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor, has once again become one of Christopher Nolan's team after "Mystery", "The Dark Knight" and "Deadly Magic". This time, Michael Caine will play the role of a professor of architecture. He has a past with the hero Cobb, and then introduces the heroine Ariad to Cobb. For this role, Evan Bell is absolutely welcomed with both hands. Michael Caine's support for Evan Bell before the release of "The Dark Knight" last year is still a good story.
Cillian Murphy, who has appeared in the Batman series successively, also appeared in the cast list again, this time he will play the role of target Fisher, which is the object that the team led by Cobb wants to implant .
And Ken Watanabe, who once appeared in "Mystery of the Shadow", will play Saito, the employer and tourist, in "Inception" this time.
In fact, there is no hard and fast rule for this role. It can be from any country. Evan Bell has also tried to choose a Chinese actor to play the role, but after thinking about it, there is no suitable candidate. He is internationally renowned. Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li and Jackie Chan are not necessarily suitable for this role, and Ken Watanabe has not only had cooperation experience with Christopher Nolan, but also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor nomination for "The Last Samurai", and he is even more successful in Hollywood. For many years, there have been masterpieces such as "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Letters from Iwo Jima". After comprehensive consideration, it is more appropriate. Evan Bell did not insist anymore.
In the choice of these actors, Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan did not spend too much effort. These people had an extraordinary friendship with Christopher Nolan, and learned that this work was with Evan Bell. Working together, they couldn't wait to nod their heads in agreement.
As for big names such as Tom Cruise and Will Smith, even if they want to take this script, it is estimated that they must be the actor Cobb. They have not played supporting roles for many years, so Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas had Teddy Bell turn them all down without giving it any thought. At this point, they were even more determined than Evan Bell, and there was no politeness at all, which made Evan Bell wonder whether to laugh or cry.
Leonardo DiCaprio soon arrived in Los Angeles to meet Evan Bell, Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas in casual attire. Leonardo DiCaprio just walked into the conference room when he heard laughter and applause from the room, and then heard Evan Bell say to Emma Thomas triumphantly. , "I told you so."
Emma Thomas took a dollar out of her pocket, put it in Evan Bell's hand, and said depressedly, "Teddy told me not to gamble with you." Evan Bell waved it. With the banknotes in his hand, he smiled all over his face, "It's too late."
Leonardo DiCaprio sat down directly beside Evan Bell, "What are you betting on me?" For Evan Bell, Leonardo DiCaprio's friend Ao really couldn't understand it any more. He only heard a few words, and he knew that Evan Bell must have bet with Emma Thomas about himself.
Evan Bell looked at Leonardo DiCaprio's beach shorts with a smile, "Your outfit."
Leonardo DiCaprio laughed dumbly, and then extended his hand to the Christopher Nolan couple in front of him, "You really shouldn't bet with him, I was on vacation when he called me. "Although they didn't make a formal self-introduction, they were actually familiar with each other. After all, they were all artists under Eleven Studios, and they were good friends with Evan Bell.
After Evan Bell decided to co-direct "Inception" with Christopher Nolan, the first thing he thought of was Leonardo DiCaprio. In fact, Christopher Nolan has always wanted to work with Leon Nado-DiCaprio cooperated, so there was no objection. Leonardo DiCaprio was on vacation with Gisele Bundchen in Hawaii when he received the call from Evan Bell , Leonardo DiCaprio immediately flew back from Hawaii, and came directly to the conference room without even changing his beach pants.
If he wanted to meet other people today, it is estimated that Leonardo DiCaprio would definitely change into a formal suit to show his grandeur, but if it was Evan Bell, then it was naturally unnecessary.
"So, what is the script?" Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Christopher Nolan and asked seriously.
Christopher Nolan was a little surprised and glanced at Evan Bell, "Didn't Evan tell you the script?"
"No." Leonardo DiCaprio's answer was succinct, "He just said that he was going to write a new script and wanted me to participate, so I came."
In fact, Leonardo DiCaprio has always been a difficult actor. He is well-known in the circle for his critical degree of script. When James Cameron tried to persuade Leonardo DiCaprio It took a lot of effort to play "Titanic". Even after the filming started, Leonardo DiCaprio was still hesitant, and the investor 20th Century Fox has repeatedly put pressure on James Cameron , I hope to change the male lead, but James Cameron still withstood the pressure and persevered, which made Leonardo DiCaprio today. Even now, the partners are such big directors as Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, Sam Mendes, Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCapri Au is also finicky about scripts -- Leonardo DiCaprio and Evan Bale are really alike in this regard.
So, when Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas heard Leonardo DiCaprio's reply, they were stunned and looked at each other. Leonardo DiCaprio smiled and looked at Evan Bell, "You won't come up with a bad script, but even if you did, I'm sure Chris won't." Although the words are said, Leonardo DiCaprio's trust in Evan Bell is indeed the only one without a branch.
Evan Bell directly smashed the script in his hand into Leonardo DiCaprio's arms, and pretended to be angry and said, "Hey, choose it yourself."
Christopher Nolan refocused his attention on Leonardo DiCaprio, he was considering his words, "Leo, the thing is this, there are many main characters in this script, except In addition to the first male protagonist Cobb, there are several other characters, one is the forger Eames..."
Leonardo DiCaprio just looked at the cover of the script, and it said "Inception (an, in fact, the word "an" directly means "beginning, beginning, at first", extending a Ministry means "foundation". With such a mysterious title, it is impossible to understand anything without reading the script. So Leonardo DiCaprio looked up and looked at Christopher Nolan, "Chris, I haven't read the script, you tell me the character now, I don't know anything, and if you It's not that simple to tell me the script content in detail, is it?"
Leonardo DiCaprio raised the script in his hand, "I looked at the title, and I guess the script is not that simple. Otherwise, Evan wouldn't be so excited. His voice was on the phone. It's almost broken." After saying a word, Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas laughed again, "Is that so What role do you think I am suitable for, tell me first, I Think again." When it came to considering, Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Evan Bell, apparently letting Evan Bell make the decision for him.
Christopher Nolan was also polite, nodded and continued, "I and Emma both want Evan to play the role of Cobb, but Evan wants you to play the role of Cobb..."
"So that's the case. If I don't play Cobb, what role do you arrange for me?" Leonardo DiCaprio didn't have the usual caution when reading the script, and he looked like a quick talker.
Evan Bell frowned and teased, "Leo, are you in a hurry? Why are you in such a hurry."
Leonardo DiCaprio rolled his eyes, ignored Evan Bell, and watched Christopher Nolan cast a questioning look. Christopher Nolan just paused and was not disturbed, "If you don't mind, Emma and I both think the role of Eames is very suitable for you. Of course..." Christopher Nolan didn't say anything after that. , Because Leonardo DiCaprio has not played a supporting role for more than ten years, so even if he is rejected, Christopher Nolan is not surprised.
But the real surprise was that Leonardo DiCaprio nodded, "Okay, let's do it like this."
