Chapter 904 Preparations

The professionalism of NASA is of course beyond doubt, and this film by Gilbert Jr. also features the support of NASA experts and active astronauts.

Soon, an active astronaut who had just returned from the International Space Station was interviewed by the media. He said: "Every detail in the movie is very close to the real environment of today's astronauts.

When walking in space, the distance between you and the earth is only the glass on your helmet. This visual shock is fully reflected in the movie.

The lighting effects are also very realistic, and every step taken by the novice astronaut played by Anne Hathaway is very correct.

There are many accidents in space, and mistakes in operation may cost lives. The astronaut played by Anne Hathaway is very professional. "

The astronaut then jokingly said: "Of course, there is no astronaut as beautiful as Anne Hathaway among the astronauts."

This is undoubtedly a powerful counterattack. After all, the other party is an astronaut who has retired for many years. How can he be as professional as an active astronaut?

Without further ado, just based on these words, a red envelope of US$10 and various exquisite small gifts were given to him.

Gilbert Jr. also participated in the event himself. He accepted an interview with the Los Angeles Times and said: "It is very difficult to reflect the feeling of weightlessness in a place with gravity.

I went up and tried it myself, but I came down after less than ten seconds. But Jacqueline performed perfectly, not only persisted, but also performed very well. "

In addition to her own testimony, Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg have also praised Anne Hathaway's performance.

Francis Coppola even said: "This is one of the best movies I have seen in recent years, and Anne Hathaway's performance is also one of the best in recent years."

In terms of technology, James Cameron has long praised the film's 3D effects, and some technical directors in Hollywood have also praised the film.

This refutes the argument that the film's technology is poor, after all, these directors are professionals.

In Canada's Cyberpunk City, "Cyberpunk 2077: Prologue" is being filmed arduously. Tom Cruise came to visit the set and also talked about the changes in public opinion.

"I didn't expect that not many media outlets mentioned me."

“Tom, maybe people think you’re not competitive enough.”

After making a joke, Gilbert Jr. said seriously: "Based on the current situation, we are likely to get full recognition from the Oscars.

But we still can’t relax and we still have to do a good job in public relations.”

"Yes!"

Tom Cruise was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that public opinion would push "Gravity" to this position and make it a hot favorite for an Oscar.

Gilbert's original plan was to win a Best Actress trophy for Anne Hathaway, but now it seems that Best Director and Best Picture are not impossible.

However, according to the Oscars's past practice of dividing the pie, it is estimated that the Academy will try to balance the situation. If Gravity does not win the Best Picture, he still has a chance to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

Tom Cruise is different from Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks's face is naturally liked by the academy. But Tom Cruise is too handsome, and handsome guys are never liked by old men.

If Tom Cruise hadn't won an Oscar for Best Actor thanks to Gilbert Jr., he probably would still have missed out on an Oscar.

After talking about this, Tom Cruise watched Gilbert Jr. direct a few more scenes.

Tom Cruise has worked with Gilbert Jr. many times and knows his style. Gilbert Jr. is very serious about this film.

If he was not satisfied with a shot, young Gilbert would shoot it over and over again for a long time.

In order to speed up the shooting progress, in addition to the usual A and B groups, Gilbert Jr. specially set up a C crew, led by action director Luca Farias, to mainly shoot some action scenes and group performances. The three groups operated efficiently, and the content shot by each group was reviewed by Gilbert Jr. in the evening to decide which ones to reshoot and which ones to keep.

At the same time, related post-production work is also in progress, starting with the music soundtrack.

This time, Gilbert Jr. did not collaborate with his old friend Hans Zimmer, but instead found a Norwegian composer named Javier Holmes.

Javier Holmes is good at composing electronic rock, which fits the atmosphere of the film very well.

The few requirements that Little Gilbert put forward to Javier Holmes were psychedelic, electronic, rock, passionate, tragic and epic.

Based on these requirements, Javier Holmes began to compose a large amount of soundtracks, and the few demos he sent already had very good results.

In addition, Gilbert Jr. asked Javier Holmes to select some rock music to be inserted into the film as background music.

At the same time, Gilbert Jr. also communicated with Avril Lavigne, who composed some music and then put it in the film.

Even Avril Lavigne herself will appear in the film in a cameo.

Of course, in order to avoid a bad movie, Gilbert Jr. also put a lot of effort into the story. Several scenes in the film combine action and spy warfare, as well as the display of cyber technology, which must be very attractive to the audience.

Most importantly, Adam Sledgehammer, the villain that fans have missed so much, will also appear.

Of course, it is not time for Adam Hammer to be killed yet, so he will definitely continue to be powerful for a long time.

Tom Cruise was quite excited and asked Gilbert Jr. if there was a role suitable for him in the film.

"I'd be happy if you could come and make a guest appearance, but do you have time recently?"

Tom Cruise thought about it and realized that he really didn't have much time, as he was recently busy filming Oblivion, a film directed by Joseph Kosinski, the director of TRON: Legacy.

"Oblivion" was originally in Disney's hands, but at that time Disney was busy wooing Lucasfilm and recovering the rights to "The Lord of the Rings" and other movies.

In addition, Joseph Kosinski insisted on directing the film himself and was unwilling to hand it over to Gilbert Jr., so things were delayed.

Later, with the failure of "Tron: Legacy", Disney gave up the project. Universal Pictures took over and offered an investment of $1.2 million.

Tom Cruise played an indispensable role in this, because after talking with Joseph Kosinski, he thought the story was good, so he promoted the project.

Honestly speaking, if it follows the trajectory of its previous life, Oblivion would not actually be considered a success, with global box office revenue not even exceeding $300 million.

However, it is impossible for Gilbert Jr. to tell Tom Cruise that this film will not be successful. Tom Cruise will definitely be unhappy to hear this.

This is different from Leo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, who can accept Gilbert Jr.'s outspokenness, but Tom Cruise still has to maintain his superstar status.

Besides, the film is almost finished, it’s too late to say these things now.

But Gilbert Jr. does have a good project, which is to work with Tom Cruise.

"Have you heard of "The Killing Cycle"? "

"'Killing Cycle'? What is it?"

Little Gilbert explained: "It is a light novel written by a Japanese novelist Sakurazaka Hiroshi. I thought it was very interesting, so I got the adaptation rights for the novel." (End of this chapter)
