Ouais ça y est chuis fan.
LES PROCHAINS PROJETS
Only God Forgives Pitch : Un flic thailandais et un gangster britannique règlent leurs comptes dans un match de boxe thai. Synopsis : Julian is on the run from the British police. He runs a Thai Boxing club in Bangkok which is a front for a drugs smuggling operation. He is well respected within the criminal underworld, but deep in his heart he feels that his life is lacking something. He meets a retired cop, The Angel of Vengeance, and finds out that he has to confront his mother. "It uses the mythology of Westerns, but set in an urban environment in Bangkok nowadays. It also combines my own love of Thai food, and I collect toys, because I wanted to be a toy collector when I was younger, and Thailand and Bangkok have great toy stores. So this is three stones in one knock. It’s going to be in Asia, it’s going to be hot, and it’s going to be a lot of fun. It has a lot of violence and a lot of red colors. Because I’m color blind." Le tournage commence bientôt avec Ryan Gosling et Kristin Scott-Thomas. Ca paraît être à fond dans la veine du réal.
Logan's Run Remake de L'Âge de Cristal, écrit par Alex Garland (28 jours plus tard, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go), produit par Joel Silver, avec Ryan Golsing dans le rôle principal de Logan 5, a “Sandman” who is tasked with with chasing down those who try to run from their state sanctioned death at the age of 30, the maximum allowed by the futuristic society. But when his own date of termination arrives, well, he goes on the run. Le projet de remake initié par Bryan Singer, repris par James McTeigue (V pour Vendetta), puis Joseph Kosinski (Tron Legacy), Carl Rinsch (le protégé de Ridley Scott qui devait initialement réaliser ce qui est devenu Prometheus). Je suis très curieux de le voir se réapproprier un blockbuster et de science-fiction en plus.
I Walk With The Dead "I’ve always wanted to make a movie with lots of sex. So I wrote this story called ‘I Walk With The Dead’ and it takes place in Miami and its just going to have a lot of sex in it. I have two films that are getting made with French investors and one is ‘Only God Forbids’ and one is ‘I Walk With The Dead.’" Pas de date de tournage de prévue. Là comme ça c'est pas particulièrement bandant (badum-chsss).
LES PROJETS VAGUES
Une suite de Drive. “We’ve began to discuss the concept of DRIVE 2. The idea would be that this time there would be…two drivers." Pas nécessaire, Nico.
Un film de braquage produit par Gore Verbinski avec Mads Mikkelsen. “My whole mission has been: ‘How will I bring Mads Mikkelsen to Hollywood?’ And if no one else will give him the lead in a Hollywood movie, I will. We have a verbal agreement: If I ask him, he has to play the lead.” On sait rien d'autre mais je suis chaud.
Une comédie romantique écrite par Albert Brooks, avec Ryan Gosling. "We're doing a comedy, and Albert Brooks promised he'd write the screenplay. Well, that's not exactly true. But print it and we'll make it true. It's a romantic comedy set in New York, which seems like a great place to start" Si c'est un vrai projet et pas juste une blague de promo, je suis là aussi curieux de voir Refn changer à nouveau de genre.
LE PROJET DE RÊVE
Wonder Woman
Produit par Joel Silver (comme Logan's Run), avec Christina Hendricks (déjà dans Drive). C'est pas une blague, il en parle depuis longtemps : "I guess one of the aims I am having, but at the very early stage, I always wanted to do Wonder Woman as a feature film…Well, I would say that Wonder Woman is probably something that, to me, would be not just a satisfaction, but almost a catharsis, and I was born to make it." "I'm very optimistic about 'Drive.' The people working on it are great. So ask me in a year if I liked my Hollywood experience, but I have this dream concept: I want to make 'Wonder Woman' as a feature. And I thought in order to access to that I should probably become a bit more Hollywood friendly." "They've been working on it for 40 years, he said. "It's going to be a concept that keeps evolving for decades unless someone makes it. There's a million takes on it. She is, along with Batman and Superman one of the three original, iconic super heroes. And I think that it being a woman and she being created by a psychologist who was very interested in certain fetish elements — if you look at the original Wonder Woman its all about woman in very little clothes tying each other up, I don't know what you would call that, but I would call it quite fetish. And then giving her interesting powers and having her come from an island of women. To me the real rosebud lies in the fact that it's really about, what if women were stronger than men on all fronts: how would the world look like? If you do her as an average crusader in hot pants running around — which of course you have to do to some extent— but if you don't go beyond that its going to be really cheesy or silly and sure they'll be action, but its nothing special." "I think Christopher Nolan's take on the Batman was very clever in really bringing in elements that were always there in the comic books, but for some reason were bypassed in the cinema releases. But I do believe he actually created a hell of a better movie. It's just that one character that I'm interested in. That to me would like a dream. That would be really interesting. But for me Wonder Woman just has so much in it, just like Batman, the reason it works so well is because there are so many layers of subtext that you can utilize. There are some interesting comic book characters, but the real compelling ones you can count on one hand." “I would love to make ‘Wonder Woman.’ And I also think that Christina Hendricks would be the perfect Wonder Woman, but Warner Bros haven’t called yet. But I’m getting closer with ‘Logan’s Run.’ I think someone said to me in a meeting that if I get ‘Logan’s Run’ right, then I’ll get ‘Wonder Woman.’” C'est super excitant mais je vois pas Warner avoir les couilles vu comme l'avenir de leurs franchises DC Comics est loin d'être assuré (Green Lantern s'est planté, Nolan va arrêter les Batman, Superman est un risque).
LES PROJETS ABANDONNES
The Dying of the Light J'en avais parlé l'an dernier. A partir d'un scénario écrit par Paul Schrader, avec Harrison Ford dans le rôle d'un agent de la CIA qui devient aveugle durant sa dernière mission. "Unfortunately, it just didn't work out. It's a shame. The script was fantastic but things fall apart. It's one of those things that's difficult - I really like Harrison and I think we got along great." C'est vraiment dommage.
Jekyll Relecture contemporaine du roman, adapté par Justin Haythe (Revolutionary Road), avec Keanu Reeves. "They want to do a modern-day retelling of the same story, which makes it very tricky, because it suddenly elevates the project into something more demanding. You have a lot of credibility that needs to work. You can't just say things, because we all know you can just Google it, and it will tell you something. They can even Google as they're watching it and know if it's true or not. It's a thriller kind of concept, but what's difficult with Jekyll and Hyde is that it's a concept more than anything else. It's like a werewolf movie or American Psycho. It's the thing we all have, but how do you dramatize that in a new, interesting way? I'd very much prefer to work with Larry Smith, who did Bronson as well and had done 30 years with Kubrick, so he certainly knew his vocabulary very well," Refn said. "Also, he's very good at understanding I'm color-blind, so I can only watch contrast colors. That's why everything's very contrasted whenever I do a movie. I very much like to work with him. And also, because I don't do storyboards, I don't pre-plan. I mean, look, I find locations, but it's not until I come in the morning that I start to figure out how to do it. I'm not the kind of person who sits down beforehand, and that's probably why I've always been reluctant to work with CGI, because every time you do that, you have to come up with all these preconceived visions." C'est moins dommage.
pourquoi je me casse les couilles alors que tout le monde s'en fout?
