The black chariot rampages like a prehistoric monster, unstoppable. The dark body and thick-line design make people feel cool, and then the screen turns, and the black figure stands alone on the high-rise building, overlooking the man he loves and protects. In the end, with countless bats jumping down, they spread their cloaks and soared in the dark night sky.

"It seems...it seems to be pretty good."

Sitting in front of the computer, Martial watched the trailer of "Batman: Beginning of War" just released on the instant sharing website, and said to himself, "It's much better than "Batman and Robin."

Martial is a standard Batman fan. He likes Bruce Wayne very much. Although the trailer is only less than 2 minutes, it feels much better to him than the terrible "Batman and Robin" , at least not like that bad movie, made into an indoor drag show.

Joe Schumacher's two Batman films, especially "Batman and Robin", Martial dislikes very much. Even if you count all the comics, cartoons and TV series, it is also the Batman work he hates the most.

After watching the trailer, he naturally had an idea, maybe Duke Rosenberg can really revive this series on the big screen?

It is said that there will be a test screening of Batman next week?

Suddenly, Martial thought of the news he had received from a friend who was also a Batman fan. He couldn't help but pick up the phone and start calling, trying to get a few places to participate in the trial screening.

One week before the film's test screening, Duke completed all the post-production of "Batman: Begins War". After nearly three months of hard work, the new Batman series is about to embark on a journey.

In addition to cooperating with Warner Bros.' announcement and arranging auditions for the film, Duke also summoned the crew members and began to participate in various high-profile activities.Build momentum for the release of Batman: Begins.

Liam Neeson, Anne Hathaway and Christian Bale frequently attended various events and appeared in public. Facing the media and reporters, they would inevitably talk about "Batman: Begins".

In an exclusive interview with "Premiere", Christian Bale released two photos of his skinny appearance in "The Mechanic" and his strong body when he was filming "Batman: Beginning", exposing his crazy fitness in the media Weight Gain Program.And how he has withstood the brutal training as hell.

Liam Neeson also talked about how magical and wonderful the second collaboration with Duke was, saying it was an extremely enjoyable process.

Anne Hathaway used the usual tactics of actresses, constantly pulling her Italian boyfriend to show affection, and became a director of the Boyfriend Foundation with a high profile, which also attracted a lot of attention.

For a cultural symbol with a long tradition like Batman, the publicity does not need to be too surprising, and Duke only participates in some routine publicity activities.While paying attention to the advancement of the Internet, we will also accept interviews from the media in due course.

"How can one person change the world?"

This is what Duke said in an interview with the "Los Angeles Times", "Compared with comic heroes such as Superman and Spiderman, Batman is a relatively ordinary one. With genetic mutation, he can become a super weapon with his body. He is a real earthling, without any special talent. What is needed is solid training."

"He wasn't born Batman, he didn't suddenly become Batman. He became Batman through a long process. "Batman: Beginning of War" tells the process of Bruce Wayne becoming Batman. Why I became Batman, and the psychological identity of Batman."

In fact, this is the biggest difference in Batman.He is different from those heroes who passively possess various abilities after encountering various changes. He did not become a hero passively, but actively chose the incarnation of fear.

In addition to being busy with the promotion of "Batman: Beginning of War", Duke also went to Marvel Studios in Burbank. The plan, and the first step of the whole plan is especially critical. If there is an accident in "Iron Man", which is the opening work, it will undoubtedly hit the advancement of the entire series.

Therefore, Marvel Pictures and even the entire Marvel comics strongly invited Duke to direct "Iron Man". As the largest shareholder of Marvel, the success or failure of the series is also related to Duke's own vital interests. After some consideration, as early as last year, he decided to serve as the director of "Iron Man".

This is a superhero movie that is completely different from Batman's style. Whether it is the overall style of Marvel comic heroes or Tony Stark's personal style in the comics, it is not suitable for shooting in a realistic way. The realistic poison tongue steel Man, it's just unimaginable.

If it is not a big problem to say that Captain America or other heroes are filmed in a realistic way, the cheerful and humble character of Tony Stark seriously conflicts with the realistic style.

Any film is not what the director wants to shoot, not to mention that "Iron Man" not only has a production budget of up to 1 million US dollars, but also the opening chapter of the entire Marvel series.

Don't forget, this isn't an original movie, and while a ton of adaptations are a must, it can't be completely out of the comics either.

Moreover, movies that are close to the family carnival style are more likely to succeed commercially. The market volume of PG-13 and PG-17 movies is not at the same level at all.

Of course, "Batman: Beginning of War" has not yet been released, and Duke came to Marvel just to discuss some initial preparations.

"Robert Downey Jr.?"

Hearing Duke's proposal for Tony Stark's actor, Kevin Fitch, the producer, was a bit puzzled, "Isn't he suitable?"

Although it is rumored in Hollywood that Robert Downey Jr. has quit his drug addiction and plans to turn his prodigal son back, there are undoubtedly many uncertainties in the use of such an actor.

It’s been a while since he’s been in Hollywood, and Kevin Fitch knows very well that only those close to them know to what extent those Hollywood actors with a glamorous appearance and a decent style have corrupted in private.

Robert Downey Jr. talked about struggling with drug addiction, but no one could tell if he was still taking drugs.

Duke understood that Kevin Fitch was worried about this. After thinking about it, he said, "Kevin, he is only one of the candidates. Even if he is selected, we can come up with many conditions to restrict him."

The current Robert Downey Jr. is not the most glorious time in the early 90s, and his coffee position has long since fallen. If it weren’t for the existence of the Downey family and the connections formed in the circle, it would be a little bit reluctant to be a third-tier actor, and there are almost no big stars. The production is willing to start him, Robert Downey Jr. has no confidence in the production.

What's more, he will face a director of Duke's level.

"If he can pass the audition..."

Robert Downey Jr. is the first choice, but not the only one. If he really has a serious drug addiction, Duke will never use him. "We can sign a limited contract with him, and when the film starts Before, only pay him a quarter or less of the salary, and pay the rest after the film is released. If he takes drugs and breaks the contract..."

Having said that, Duke shrugged.

"This is indeed a good idea." Kevin Fitch nodded.

As long as Robert Downey Jr. can pass the audition, like Christian Bale, Duke will definitely let Marvel sign him to a long-term contract, and the restrictive contract will accompany all of Downey's cooperation with Marvel, even if he Become a super A-level star in the future.

No one can tell whether this prodigal son will continue his career as an addict and gentleman in the future.

Today, when the speed of information circulation is infinitely fast and infinitely wide, the scandals of the main actors often have a negative impact on the film.

Correspondingly, if the main actor has a situation that can attract the audience, such as suddenly hanging up, as long as the producer and distributor make a little use of it, it will also form a huge boost to the film.

"Where's the heroine?" Kevin Feige completely focused on Duke, "Do you have favorite candidates for Pepper and Black Widow?"

"I have found a more suitable actress for Black Widow."

Duke thought for a while, then said, "Little Pepper should wait for the official start of preparations and hold a large-scale audition."

The setting of Pepper itself determines that an actress who is too young cannot be used. This is a mature female assistant, and the most suitable one is an actress born in the 70s. Duke does not intend to use the original Gwen Nice? Paltrow, the other party's temperament is indeed good, but she is not beautiful, and he has no friendship with the Paltrow family.

In fact, according to his thinking, Charlize Theron is the most suitable actor candidate, but with the salary and status of South African diamonds, it is impossible to play such a role.

Although Charlize Theron, like other actresses, has been cast in the best actress Oscar after winning the Oscar for Best Actress in "The Devil", and the two films she starred in were all mediocre, she is still A Even a member of the Super A actress, the salary of a commercial film is as high as 2000 million US dollars.

For the just-started Marvel film, such an actor is too extravagant. Duke and Kevin Feige can reach an agreement on Robert Downey Jr. In addition to restricting him, the other party's plummeting value is also important reason.

Even if Duke intends to invite Charlize Theron, it is impossible for Charlize Theron to lower her pay to star in such a commercial masterpiece. The actor's pay is not only related to herself, but also a large group of people around her from assistants to public relations to agents .

After a brief discussion with Marvel, Duke returned to the work of "Batman: Beginning of War". The film held three trial screenings in late April, and the word-of-mouth response of the trial screenings was mixed. (to be continued~^~)
