Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 166
After passing through the Roman Gap, Christopher Nolan went to the bookstore and bought a comic about “The Dark Knight Returns”.
After returning home, resting for a while, having dinner, and saying hello to his wife Emma Thomas, he ran to the study and began to study the comics he had just gotten.
He wanted to know what Roman’s very certain story looked like, and what the new Batman image looked like.
At this look, he was fascinated.
After watching it two or three times, I understood a little bit of the idea of this work.
The experience of Bruce Wayne keeps appearing in my mind, and the picture rushes over my face.
The old Batman, Robin’s death, police chief Gordon is about to retire.
This sin city, Gotham City, also ushered in prosperity, crime became more ubiquitous and more fair, and the soil of violence was rapidly growing.
Order is beginning to be chaotic, and society is going to collapse.
Batman, who had already hung his robe, watched all these changes. His long-suppressed upright personality finally broke the shackles he set for himself and re-emerged in Gotham.
The Dark Knight and his throne descended again in the quiet night, announcing his return.
He has long lost the peak state he had when he was young, and even his strong body could not withstand the continuous battles, but he was still not afraid of all of this, facing various criminal forces, and always charged at the front line.
With the riots of the mutant armed team and the rise of double-faced people, Bruce Wayne once again became a law enforcer in the dark and destroyed it. However, faced with the tricks of various evil forces, as well as the doubts and distrust of the media and the citizens, he took office. The chief of police issued an arrest warrant for Batman, and they even sent Superman, a figure in the superhero camp, to solve the problem…
This is really a story that is completely different from the image of Batman in the past, creating a fierce and tough old Batman, and at the same time painting the city of Gotham with an extremely gloomy color.
The violent panic, the indifference between people, the mockery of the system, and the arrest of Batman in order to quell crimes all no longer convey a sad and heavy topic of thought, that is, whether it is right or wrong to fight crime privately. What is the fate of the dying hero?
After reading Christopher Nolan, he fell into thinking. The feeling of this superhero comic is undoubtedly shocking, leaving behind the setting of Batman, it is even no different from a crime thriller.
The ruthless and lonely Batman, the unscrupulous clown, the depraved double-faced man, the political high-level people who stand by and the superman who has to take action, all of them are in the melting pot of Gotham, but no one Can stop the deterioration of this city.
This dark world really shocked him. The inaction of the judiciary made a man who had come out of the world and wanted to save everything to take the blame. People expected a knight to protect them, but they personally sentenced him to death. It’s ridiculous. ? not at all.
Why is there Batman in this world, because even with a wealth of money, you can’t escape the dark guns in the alleys; why there is Batman, because everyone is silent about this phenomenon, let alone, but someone will always stand up Make a sound to stop chaos. The core of this comic is not a superhero that is different from humans, not a gorgeous bat chariot, but a choice made in that alley that night.
It is never God’s compassion and love for the world that there is justice, but someone who does not resent the injustice of this world and utters an angry roar.
The Batman who was determined to establish order, he ran around in the night time and time again, just to save the city-Gotham. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is a protector. He was originally a man who drew his sword to help in the face of injustice.
The dark knight never ends.
Christopher Nolan scrutinized the comics, unconsciously substituting himself into the director mode, thinking about how to proceed with the adaptation.
This work is so good that he can’t resist that temptation.
The image of a brand new Batman character gradually became clear in his mind. This is an umbrella that belongs exclusively to Gotham City, walking in the dark, but with a light heart.
He sticks to the principles in his heart, but has zero tolerance for evil.
Thinking about it this way, Nolan’s thinking became clearer and clearer, and he also had his own views on the entire film style-the dark style of realism.
This is a character who endures the humiliation in the dark but keeps moving forward. The dark style is absolutely adapted.
For a director, it is undoubtedly a very cool thing to be able to find and shoot his favorite subject matter. Christopher Nolan has this feeling in his heart at this time. Even though it was late at night, his inspiration still gushed out like a fountain.
He exudes thinking, inspiring countless settings and situations about the new Batman image.
“My dear, are you still asleep?”
Emma Thomas came to the study with a glass of milk, “It’s already one o’clock in the morning.” She put the milk on the desk and reminded me deliberately.
“I can’t sleep.” Christopher Nolan picked up the milk, took a sip, and then said: “I have a movie project. I need to describe the overall style of shooting.”
“”Batman”?” The “Dark Knight Returns” comic on the table is very eye-catching, Emma Thomas guessed.
“Well, it is a film project jointly developed by Warner and Manhai Entertainment. I intend to take over the directing work.” Christopher Nolan said slowly.
“Manhai Entertainment is the production company that produced “The Hangover”, “The Infected” and “The Devil Wearing Prada.” As Nolan’s wife, Emma Thomas does not know anything about the film industry. I still pay attention to these and understand the situation of Manhai Entertainment, which has soared rapidly in recent years.
“Yes, today their president Roman found me, told me about it, and asked me to be the director of this project? Now I think I can take over the production.”
“Will Warner be unwilling? This is their project after all.” Emma Thomas said slightly worried.
“No, I have also inquired about this project. The real person is Roman, and the right to shoot and produce is in his hands. Warner is the client.” Christopher Nolan was not unprepared. He learned that Roman After looking for the meaning of his directing, I also indirectly inquired about the news from CAA, and understood that his promise was effective.
After hearing this, his wife Emma Thomas did not continue to talk about this matter. She reminded: “It’s too late.”
Nolan couldn’t help his wife, so he had to put down the comics and went back to the room to rest…
