"Yahoo Entertainment News, Warner Bros. officially announced a few days ago that the finale of the "Batman" trilogy directed by Duke Rosenberg will be released on the first weekend of next May. The film is divided into ordinary 2d, 3d and imax3d. There are different versions. The title of the film has not been finalized, and the boot time has not been clear."

The crew has just been established, and all preparations are in the initial stage. The specific work is temporarily in charge of Charles Rowan and Anna Prinz, and Duke is still making necessary changes to the script.

The outline and setting of this script were completed ten years ago. The editing team of the Duke's Studio also completed the script writing in accordance with the outline early. As the trilogy is in the same line, it basically maintains its original appearance.

But time is changing, the environment is changing, and Duke's vision and aesthetics are also changing.

In his opinion, the script written ten years ago could not satisfy the needs of this final chapter.

The "Batman" trilogy is different from ordinary commercial movies, but it is far from the category of superhero movies. Such movies are nothing more than fighting. The problem Duke wants to solve is why they should fight.

The approach of all movies is to create a contradiction and throw it to the audience, allowing the audience to stand on the side of the spear or the side of the shield involuntarily, and naturally led by the nose by the film, the director is happy to show him anything.

The level of creating contradictions determines the level of movie attraction to audiences.

There are three levels of contradictions in the world: the highest level, the contradiction of ideas; the middle level, the contradiction of people; the lowest level, the contradiction of things.

For example, in the first two parts, the contradiction between Batman and the Joker, the double-faced man, and the League of Shadow Warriors is a contradiction of ideas.

In this completed script, the contradiction between Batman and Bain is a contradiction between humans; the contradiction between Batman and the nuclear bomb is a contradiction between objects.

Throughout the superhero movie, how to settle the contradiction between these three, exhausted the brains of the directors.

The most common mode is to constantly deal with contradictions of things at the same time. The contradiction between heroes and bad guys gradually escalates and dissolves, and finally the theme is sublimated by the contradiction of ideas.

As long as this is achieved, it is basically a good-looking movie.

Putting it in "Avatar" means to prevent forced demolition first. Kill the colonel again, and finally choose to be a Neville.

Putting it in "Terminator 2" is to bomb the research center first, then get t1, and finally t self-sacrifice.

"The Dark Knight" is extraordinary. It’s because the entire article has broken the common methods of contradictory design, and put on all possible contradictions in the contradiction of ideas. The final two-ship game is very high. Everyone is worried, not because someone is trying to destroy the bomb, but because At any time, one party presses the button.

And there are five major camps in this movie, "Batman, Harvey Dante, Joker, Gangster. Citizens", each camp has a standpoint, opinion, and accomplishment.

Nowadays, there is no faction in this script. The gang has been wiped out. The citizens are just watching and following. The police are decorating the whole process and killing the US military halfway through the soy sauce...

Why are no citizens questioning Bain’s rule? Everyone in "Avengers" chooses not to kneel in front of Rocky. Will Jim Gordon's faith be over? Why are there no citizens guessing who has the nuclear bomb button? How much did Batman's "no kill" banner contribute to the ending?

These are all Duke needs to consider.

Of course, these are all for the fun and thrills of the film, but only to increase the necessary elements in this respect, not the real purpose of the film itself.

otherwise. "The Dark Knight Rises" is not a summer commercial film, but a completely niche gangster art film.

From the very beginning, Duke was determined to make "The Dark Knight Rises" possess all the necessary thrills and fun, which are essential elements of a summer blockbuster.

The action scene is grand. The plot is full, the characters are very distinctive, and all the elements that make up a wonderful drama are well controlled and indispensable.

In "The Hour of War", the audience can see the tragedy of the young Bruce Wayne, his pain, and the resulting anger. He felt helpless and helpless, he was looking for a way out, he wanted to find himself, and he wanted to know what kind of person he could become.

Then there was "The Dark Knight". He found the way out. He became confident and mature. He did the most meaningful life events in his imagination, and he was unwavering.

Now, eight years have passed, and the only thing in his life that made him feel meaningful suddenly disappeared, until he was forced to meet new challenges again, whether it was another fatal threat to Gotham City and himself. "

The person who poses this threat is Baine the Destroyer. He wears a mask all the time and arbitrarily destroys Gotham City guarded by Batman. The Scarecrow defeated by Batman is a lunatic, and the Joker is an anarchist.

"And Bain is an extreme terrorist in terms of his mind and his behavior,"

In the audition room of Warner Studios, the burly Dawn Johnson took off his mask and told Duke of his own understanding, "He looks scary on the outside, and he is extremely smart. The enemy of high IQ is the most dangerous."

When deciding to shape Batman's next rival, Duke clearly knew that this character must be completely separated from the Joker and must be a strong opponent.

Bruce Wayne, as the physical feature of Batman, plays a vital role in the story. In the first two films, no one has ever challenged Batman.

This time, Duke really wants to give Batman an opponent who is evenly matched or even has an overwhelming advantage in terms of physicality. It is even more difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat in mind. Bain is a vigorous character with an unstoppable momentum to achieve his goals. With such a combination of posture and momentum, he can become a more difficult enemy to resist.

When it comes to acting, Dawn Johnson is a scumbag, but Bain wears a mask throughout the film, and even if the actor who plays him is outstanding, there is not much room for display.

On the other hand, the shock of appearance, Dawn Johnson's advantage is very obvious, when he stood in front of Christian Bale, even a fool knew that he was stronger than Batman!

And as a professional wrestling league champion in fake fights, using body movements to sensation will not be a problem.

As for the lines and voice, it would be better to solve it. Duke has never been a director who insists on live recording. There are too many post-production techniques to solve the sound problem of Bain, even if it is Dawn Johnson’s failure. You can also find someone to dub.

What Duke needs is a tough destroyer, not a psychopath.

In this film, Batman will obviously not be able to gain the upper hand for the first time from his posture and hands. Bruce Wayne retires for many years, and then fights the rivers and lakes. First of all, he has already blunt skills and poor state.

In addition to being a vigorous opponent, Bain is cruel and aggressive, as well as ideological fanaticism, which makes him invincible and has the momentum to sweep the army. "

In this regard, Dawn Johnson is extremely suitable.

Without spending too much time, Duke decided to let Dawn Johnson play Bain the Destroyer.

In addition, Gail Gadot and James Franco, who have been confirmed to play Catwoman and John Black, are basically the main actors, except for the role of Miranda Tate.

In the same way, Duke has little market appeal for turning around in art films, and the French actress who is paid for the film has no interest, and plans to hold a large-scale audition for this role.

Scarlett originally wanted a cameo but was rejected by Duke. The appearance of Black Widow in the Batman movie was definitely a disaster.

In addition, Duke also talked with Christian Bale several times, paying special attention to his emotional and psychological state.

Before starring in Batman, it is too much praise to say that Christian Bell is a second-tier actor. The two Batman brought unprecedented glory to Bell, especially after "The Dark Knight", they are already standard Hollywood first-tier superstars.

Like most Hollywood stars, Christian Bale has risen along with his status and has a manic temper.

The most widely circulated is the Christian Bale incident.

After "The Dark Knight" was over, when filming "Terminator 4", the crew photographer Sean Herbert erroneously broke into the set and props, distracting Christian Bell, and Bell immediately went crazy and used All kinds of foul language attacked Sean Herbert, and the fierce words made the people at the scene dumbfounded.

In less than four minutes, Christian Bale blurted out 37 "k"s. I don't know if this is a record.

In the words of the people on the set at the time, Sean Herbert was really tenacious to survive such a dense "k".

Although this kind of error does not happen often on the set, it will inevitably occur during filming. Sean Herbert then solemnly apologized to Christian Bale, if it was said that Christian Bale was interrupted by Sean Herbert. If it's normal to get angry while performing, then what you do later shows the domineering and unreasonable side of Hollywood superstars.

Christian Bale issued a notice to the crew, saying that if the photographer Sean Herbert is not fired, he would not do it, and it would be useless to persuade the director Joseph McGinty Nicher himself.

In the end, Charles Rowan, who was also the producer of "Terminator 4", rushed to the set and suppressed the incident and asked Christian Bale to change his mind so that the shooting could proceed smoothly.

This is not the first time in Hollywood, and it will definitely not be the last. Christian Bale is just one of the Hollywood superstars. (To be continued.)
