Ace Hollywood - Chapter 442
“Daniel confirmed that Bourne 3 will be his last Bourne film and that he will say goodbye to the successful series. On f2f, Daniel said it would be like the Elf Prince in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Again, it’s time to say goodbye. According to this newspaper, The Bourne Bourne was originally designed as a trilogy, based on Rudrum’s novel. But after the remarkable success, Universal Pictures hopes to To be able to continue to make a sequel and make it a longer-lived series. It is a pity that neither the directors of the first three films, Doug Liman and Paul Grigras, or Daniel, the superstar, refused to make the film. This success adds even more risk.
According to current news, Universal Pictures plans to invite new actors and directors to create the fourth “Bourne Bourne”, Matt Damon, Jeremy Renner, Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Fass Binder and others are all candidates for new agents. The story will develop from Eric’s seven Byrne novels. It is foreseeable, however, that the plan will be met with considerable opposition. People will ask Universal to change its name — stop calling it The Bourne Bourne.
And insiders revealed that Daniel’s abandonment of the “Bourne Bourne” sequel may be more than just boredom and thinking that it’s time to end. The more important reason may be the unexpected popularity of “Night at the Museum”, which made him finally decide to give up “The Bourne Bourne”, which does not belong to the dd film industry. Since he became famous, Daniel has appeared in three series-probably since the new century. A few of the greatest movie franchises, including The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Bourne. These three series are all very popular. “The Lord of the Rings” won 2.9 billion box office worldwide, making Daniel a real global idol superstar, while “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” has just made history with a single box office of 1.2 billion. The second highest-grossing movie! Second only to James Cameron’s “Titanic”, it is worth mentioning that James’ new film was invested and starred by Daniel. The third place is “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”. The “Bourne Bound” series may be the best-known spy war movie. The box office also makes people proud|proud.
Among these three series, “The Lord of the Rings” has already ended, but “Pirates” has only filmed the second part, and the single film broke 1 billion. And importantly, dd Pictures owns one-third of the investment rights, so it will not be given up. If you want to make way for new movies, I mean to win nearly 70 million in the world at a cost of less than 20 million. “Wonderful Night at the Museum”, which has a box office of 100 million yuan. It must be “Bourne Bourne”, no doubt.
Considering Daniel’s tendency to reduce production, and his lack of motivation after winning three Oscars, it’s all the more natural to drop The Bourne. “
The in-depth analysis of “The Hollywood Reporter” explains the reasons behind this accident for everyone.
At this time, in an office in Burbank.
Robert Iger and his assistant smiled, “We should be glad that he participated in the investment in “Pirates of the Caribbean”, right?”
The assistant brought the newspaper and knew what was reported on it, to be honest. Deep down in his heart, he really thinks so. If it wasn’t for the fact that dd Pictures has one-third of the investment rights, why would Daniel give up “Bourne Bourne”? You must know that compared to Universal Pictures, his relationship with Disney is even worse.
However, Robert was obviously unhappy, and the assistant did not dare to express his opinion.
In fact, Robert didn’t have too many unhappy emotions, he was just recalling things about Daniel and “Pirates of the Caribbean”. From the very beginning, Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp, then 30% of the investment. Then there is the return of the investment rights that Disney bought back for the first film, and then there is the contradiction about whether to shoot the second and third films in succession, and Daniel’s “choosy” about the script of the second film – although it seems that Daniel’s The opinion is correct.
If you had insisted on using Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp. Will it be more beneficial to Disney?
At least it won’t be like facing Daniel. Money can’t impress him. He has more money than Disney’s shareholders, and fame and fortune need not be said. Is there anyone more famous than him? All the constraints on an actor will be completely invalid on Daniel, which makes Disney completely unable to obtain more guarantees.
Today, Daniel can give up “Bourne Bourne”, another day, can’t he give up “Pirates of the Caribbean”? Join dd film and have a new series?
As a Disney employee, he knows the cooperation model of “Night at the Museum”, and also deeply understands that Daniel will definitely shoot the sequel by himself.
In fact, Fox also knows, and other studios also understand, because this is a decision everyone will make-that day, Fox’s senior vice president, Mark, chased after James’ studio for this reason. Sadly, he confirmed Daniel’s decision, but couldn’t change it.
This feeling of powerlessness, Robert disliked very much.
“Maybe we can look at the results of Universal.”
However, he was obviously going to be disappointed.
After the sources cited by The Hollywood Reporter went viral, opposition to the Bourne Bourne sequel was far stronger than Universal believed.
“Universal forgot, they need to face not only the fans of the Bourne series, but also the fans of Daniel Sandler!”
In an interview, a public relations expert commented on the storm faced by Universal Pictures.
“Although Daniel has stood up to speak for them, fans are not always so obedient, and Daniel can’t influence everyone’s actions – this is the problem faced by Universal Pictures.”
And another film critic turned his attention to another aspect~www.mtlnovel.com~ This well-received series, the sudden outbreak of influence this time is shocking, compared to “Pirates” and “The Lord of the Rings” , The fans of this series are a little weaker. Now it seems that the weak is not accurate. It is more appropriate to use silence to describe it. When they are not silent, the influence is very considerable. Perhaps Daniel and Universal, from a business perspective, should consider continuing to tap its potential. “
However, movie fans will not help Universal Pictures from a commercial point of view. Their opposition is getting louder and louder, from social networking sites, official websites, movie forums and other Internet fields to Universal’s office in Century City.
Inside Universal, there are growing doubts about whether the incident will affect other Universal projects.
When the wind and waves were getting stronger and stronger, and there was no sign of easing, Universal temporarily conceded defeat.
“We decided to put this project on hold for the time being. We will try our best to encourage the original team to work together again. Before that, we decided not to shoot the sequel to The Bourne Bourne!”
Robert Iger, who heard the news, didn’t say a word for a long time.
He also wanted to see how The Bourne Bourne would have performed without Daniel, but as a result, it was aborted! (To be continued.)
