Returns to Los Angeles, the first matter that Eric faces is the selection work of Marvel Cinematic Universe leads.
For the recent several months, as «Iron Man» attains greatly successfully, Marvel Cinematic Universe already according to established plan comprehensive start. The most important work then chooses the brand-new The Avengers member.
Because entire Marvel Cinematic Universe planned to be ahead of time for nearly ten years, many role actors who in the Eric memory can refer to no longer appropriate.
Naturally , some Actor are ‚ready-made’. For example Thor actor, Eric several years ago has determined Brad Peter. After «X File» terminates, Brad Peter's development in cinema world is not smooth, Firefly Group sends out the invitation, the opposite party complies quickly, and has signed the long-line contracts of six movies.
Moreover, eagle-eyed actor Jeremy Renard made a debut similarly, Jeremy born in 1971 28 years old, age was also appropriate this year. Under Eric incites, this role then directly determines.
Other, Hulk, Captain America, Black Widow and even some quite outstanding supporting role actor, then also in selection process.
Firefly Group planned the plan of first stage to Marvel Cinematic Universe is nine movies, the time span from 1999 to 2004, altogether was five years.
«Iron Man» and that «Spider-Man» started occupies two quotas in nine movie separately. «Captain America» and «Thor» and final «The Avengers» occupies another three quotas. The other two movies, are «Hulk».
In once time line, can only describe to 2008 «Invincible Vast to subdue|grams» with the failure from 2003 «Hulk» that reason had many aspects, has not elected to Director, the optional replace of Actor, between the lead and Director the creativity conflict wait/etc..
Moreover, as a result of Hulk special role setting, this cartoon role also truly compared with other Superhero more difficult rackets. But as one of the Marvel popularity highest Superhero, once pats, Hulk also absolutely can obtain the unexpected success.
However, looks like in Eric, although the once two Hulk big movies both can only describe with the failure, but their respective subjects perfectly conform to the Hulk time line, narrated that the origin of Hulk, narrated the Bruce Banner's control to Hulk.
Brand-new Marvel Cinematic Universe will use this time line as before, actually must use this time line. After primitive Hulk changes the body, is very wild and absolutely does not have the reason, vast to subdue|grams under this condition is unable to join The Avengers. Therefore, must complete Bruce Banner's self-control process through a sequel.
Compares, «Captain America» only needs to narrate that an origin, «Thor» only needs an introduction similarly.
According to these plans, is not Marvel already «X X-Men» that and other series is authorized to exit, «Hulk» will become after «Iron Man» and «Spider-Man», third will mount the The Avengers member of big silver screen.
Once The Avengers series, except for small Robert Iron Man that Downey played, other Superhero roles beyond brothers friendship that in a series of base sentiments four shot, not specially bright eye place.
This time, «Iron Man» was successful similarly, but Eric actually does not hope that like once small Robert Downey a person haunches Marvel Cinematic Universe half the sky, he hopes that several other Superhero roles can have a more outstanding performance.
«Hulk» series most difficult shoots, but if can pat, destroys the day to extinguish the place by vast to subdue|grams the military force value, without a doubt, this Superhero likely was welcome by the audience like Iron Man and Spider-Man.
Due to the above reason, in addition the failure of «Hulk» primitive edition, Eric also especially takes seriously this Superhero big movie.
In order to let the update «Hulk» has a thorough transformation, Eric removed Eric directly Barke, Edward Norton and Mark Farlow these Hulk once actors.
Eric Hulk of Barke edition simply has not made many impressions to Eric, Edward the disposition that in the Norton reality is hard to control also makes Eric exclude directly him, Marvel Cinematic Universe is impossible to have too many rights to speak Director, is more impossible to use Norton this type to have Actor that the extreme control wants to script.
As for Mark Farlow, as a result of once The Avengers series success, he without doubt was the audience acceptance broadest vast to subdue|grams actor.
However, vast to subdue|grams of this Actor mold really does not have any highlight, this Actor salary that disclosed from once the The Avengers series can see. Most has one of the popularity Superhero as Marvel, Mark Farlow plays the salary of vast to subdue|grams, actually the ratio plays eagle-eyed Jeremy Renard is low.
If without a doubt, begins using Mark Farlow, Firefly Group can definitely save a big salary, but suppresses the Actor salary is always not the Eric primary purpose. Although the Firefly system has emphasized cost control, but wants the obvious salary control in the final analysis in a more just category. If the actors in vast to subdue|grams can a person anti- 1 billion USD Box Office, Eric not mind only absolutely pays the 20 million USD above sky-high price salary. On the contrary, if Hulk big movie Box Office failure, lead, even if even gives instead of taking to play free, Eric will not agree.
Firefly cinema city.
In the recent several days, Eric basically was personally is managing in the The Avengers Actor last round screen test to pass.
Today's screen test object is Bruce Banner's several candidates, Katzenberg that has free time exactly has also caught up. Is counted same became Marvel Cinematic Universe creation core Joss Wei Deng several people, today's screen test team ‚beyond example formidable’.
As a result of the success of «Iron Man», as well as felt attaching great importance to of Firefly Group The Avengers, a male who Hollywood met the condition basically expresses to the The Avengers series role interest.
However, Eric does not catch cold regarding the fame too big actor. He does not hope that presents such as in «Invincible Vast to subdue|grams» that audience sees Hulk, the first response is Edward but Norton is not Bruce Banner and so on situation.
Therefore, in the role selection process, whether the Lord creates the first standard of team is the Actor agreeing with role, regarding the request of position is not too high. When this also causes enters the last round screen test, several to a Hollywood star of vast to subdue|grams being interested almost completely, because of this matter, are paid close attention to the Marvel Cinematic Universe trend Hollywood media recently several Tianxian quite lively.
Sun set, sends off last screen test, Eric and the others somewhat exhaustedly by the chair.
Today participates in Actor of screen test not being actually many, only then after layer upon layer selects rushes to last pass/test five people. But 9 : 00 am start, the screen test of when five candidate each people long approach for two hours, therefore continuously to the present.
Although Eric treats impartially to each screen test, but after a day of screen test, everybody can feel the personal inclination of Eric obviously.
Carries the coffee that the secretary sends to drink several, sits has not mentioned today's screen test in Eric Katzenberg immediately, instead mentioned another topic: „At couple days ago cocktail party bumped into Richard Parsons, he said that Warner Bros. first will possibly restart the «Batman» series.”
The Eric manner relaxes is glancing through a front material, looks on the name column striking ‚Christy secure Bell’ name, on the face is having some happy expressions, said: „I think that can be «Superman», now restarts «Batman» is not the good opportunity.”
As the work of Marvel Cinematic Universe introduction attains greatly successfully, has DC this big gold ore Warner naturally not to fall behind. Eric is thinking also controls Warner to develop the DC movie universe in secret the rhythm, for this reason specially has also dug Nowland.
Just, as a result of the change of Hollywood history, Warner has already not obtained «The Lord of the Rings», has not developed «Harry Potter». Then, to let own Film Industry service is insufficient to decline, ahead of time carries on the development to be also doomed to DC is the inevitable matter.
„Truly is not good opportunity, the audience definitely not to forget that «Batman And Robin» to profound ’ impression that they stay behind ‚,” Katzenberg somewhat takes pleasure in others'misfortunes, said: „Warner wants to develop «Superman» actually, but «Superman» manufacture copyright actually controls in Peters. Now «Iron Man» attains greatly successfully, the Warner first two years just screwed up the «Batman» reputation, Peters naturally was waits for a better price, Warner has not discussed with him gathers together, can only change to «Batman» the attention again.”
Strong Peters a few years ago and Peter Guber handles the Columbia Film Studio partner for Sony together, but before that Peter Guber and Peters has own Production Studio, and accommodates alongside in Warner Bros., the nature and Bruckheimer Production Studio is similar.
Initially to dig these two, Sony has also been a chapter of fool, has paid for a large amount violation expense for them. Afterward the result naturally showed that this fool is not general big, naturally, these are the topic over-formal languages.
DC or Marvel, in the 90's, does not regard as important regarding Superhero movie copyright, does not have several years later taking strict precautions against to cling to tenaciously.
Therefore, in the late 80's accommodated alongside during Warner Bros., Peters Production Studio has attained Superman filmmaking copyright, and has grasped in the hand.
In the 90's, as «Batman» series of Warner Bros. manufacture attains greatly successfully, the Superhero copyright value manifests gradually. Just, because of a series of reasons, naturally, mainly the benefit dispute, these year of «Superman» series big movies cannot start.
Because the copyright reason is unable to be solved, in memory, the honorable person version Superman movie of after 70-80 age Chris Reeve series, «Superman Return» that until 2006, restarted can screen smoothly, in the instantaneous distance a Superman big movie great distance of edition is 20 years.
The outside always loves to talk about in Marvel Superhero ‚life is full of frustrations’, but in fact, Clark the Kent destiny is actually rougher.
Eric at the end of last year has given that side Nowland's «Memory Fragment» project Columbia, the movie shoots has completed now, but, because wants the reputation route, Columbia planned after the beginning of next year Sundance Film Festival, places after that Easter running schedule to screen «Memory Fragment».
In other words, even if Nowland wants buddingly, needs to wait till next year.
Moreover, only then «Memory Fragment», but also being insufficient makes Nowland take up to restart the «Batman» series the guide sleeves. After all, this making a debut the movie-making flow of United Kingdom Director possibly Hollywood is not that familiar, at least also needs to pass through 12 movies again informed and experienced can contact the big manufacture movie.
Although Eric wants to prop up very much duplicates the successes of «Batman» series, but he will not spoil things by excessive enthusiasm.
Considered a while, Eric to say to Katzenberg: „Can find the way to coordinate, first makes Warner start the «Superman» series first, even if other Superhero is good, I have other arrangements to «Batman».”
Katzenberg thinks that said: „Actually, said that is also very simple, wants to start the «Superman» series, so long as handles Peters was OK.”
The Eric fingertip is stroking gently front Actor material, asked: „Strong what is Peters making at present?”
Katzenberg said: „That «Violent wind X-Men», should you know?”
Eric then thinks that previous Bill Chanique has raised with him, Peters coordinates Will Smith and Barry Sonenfeld was building one to restore the old restoring the old science fiction film «Violent wind X-Men», the movie has imitated the «Men in Black» pattern completely. Eric heard this matter also quite to dislike at that time, then exhorts Bill Chanique advanced Warner Bros. pigeon Wu's «Windtalkers» this Box Office dud.
Obviously, although has not discussed on «Superman» gathers together, but this has not hindered strongly cooperation of Peters and Warner.
Smiled reluctantly, because Joss Wei Deng several people on the scene, Eric has not said too, but said: „You find time to pay attention, if can meddle well, in the surface we cannot intervene to that side are too many.”
Katzenberg nods understandingly. Firefly system in the Hollywood influence already enough huge, AOL Time Warner also wants to get rid of Firefly member economy label obviously. Therefore, regarding the Firefly investment similarly is AOL Time Warner the group second major stockholder matter, both sides almost Basic Instinct is maintaining the condition of low key, even, in the surface both sides give back to person a feeling of opposition.
Naturally, AOL Time Warner wants really high with the Firefly system one , the Firefly system intentionally will actually make some gestures, Eric throughout not AOL Time Warner in a state of disunity the group will pay attention.
Such chatted several, Katzenberg has hinted toward Eric front Actor material, asked: „Therefore, Christy secure Bell, Jim Karwiese, which do you favor?”
Christy secure Bell, needless saying that once Nowland version «Batman» trilogy actor. Jim Karwiese, once compared the manner knowledge the role is John in «Suspect Tracing» Reese, afterward also by the domestic beautiful play fans nickname was four uncles.
Eric hopes that the brand-new vast to subdue|grams actors before has not changed the body think a gentle professor, but is not Mark Farlow that type simple and honest or Edward the Norton evil aura, said that first edition of Eric Barke image is similarly appropriate, but the performance of opposite party has not really made any impression on the person.
When the final five candidates, the concrete effect according to some material as well as screen test in memory, Eric is quite satisfied, is Christy secure Bell and Jim Karwiese.
