M. Director Night Shamaran's reason for continuing to shoot the original work "The movie experience in theaters cannot be reproduced by other means"

Director Shamaran talks about 5000 characters about film production in Corona's evil and his career

M, French graphic novel.Night Shamaran's latest work, Old (open), is a story of a family that Shamaran is good at fate.It is the first Hollywood movie that was first shot in the pandemic, and diversity casting is one of the highlights.He is a thriller movie landlord, and fans around the world have an exclusive long interview with Director Shamaran, who is paying attention to their trends.[See photos] Fear and excitement rush!In the Old and Old, which are fully opened in Shamaran, people who are imprisoned in beautiful beaches, which are rapidly passing, are the fear of "old".Guy (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Prisca (Vicky Crebus), who visited the Beach Resort, have a variety of strange phenomena on the beach.Madox (Thomasin McKenzy) and Trent (Alex Wolf) who grow rapidly.Corps and people who panic on the coast.Can they get out of this beach?■ "More than 1,000 people gathered in the remote audition." - I heard that the casting work of this work was all online, so it was an unprecedented experience.How was it done?"This was the first time we had resumed film production in Hollywood, and the casting in virtual was the first attempt, so it was really strange. It's natural now, but it's natural.It was strange to see the people in the kitchen and the appearance of myself, and it was the first time that the actors were acting in the living room. Normally.Is because the video is sent to the casting director and the casting starts based on it, but there were some good things. Because it can be selected regardless of location, there are so many actors from all over the world to audition.I was gathering. There were more than 1,000 people gathered, "If you have a basket in your house, and if Shamaran is looking for a new movie cast, do you want to try it? Thanks to you.I was able to really take the time to think about the appropriate combination because it was all together. "-What was the challenge to draw a variety of families and groups in this movie?"Because the stage of the story is a resort area, it was an unusual opportunity to gather performers, not just from the same country or region. The world and we are a little different from ourselves and ourselves.I feel that it is a little more tolerant than ever before seeing people who speak different sounds. I do not know what the largest work in the Mexican actor is the leading role.However, "Old" should be at the top. For example, Vicky, who played Priska, is speaking English with a German accent. These elements were not inevitable in the studio's request.I was able to really enjoy it because it was in line with the story and settings. " - I think Hollywood is in the middle of the change compared to when you started making a movie.How do you catch that change?"I think that making a movie is to have the characters sympathize with the characters. 25 years ago, for example, drawing a black character as a rival or as a buddy that entertains the hero.Even if I could do it, it was very difficult to project the audience myself and get sympathy as a husband as a husband, and only Denzel Washington was the exception. It is not perfect now, but now it is more and more.The change is progressing. Regarding how women are drawn, I think that the conflict and strength of the female protagonist have been accepted for granted. Therefore, so that you can do more free casting than before.I feel it has become. "■" I've been aiming for a fusion of human dramas and genre movies for many years. "How do you not disappoint that expectation?"I feel a very strong relationship with the audience. As the writer and the audience build a strong relationship, the audience is waiting for me. For example, I am Agasa.・ It's the same when you pick up Christie's novels. I'm looking forward to the content of the novel, and I'm raising the expectations for both characters and mystery. That's why I'm trying to understand what the audience wants.I'm going to be satisfied with them and try to grow as a writer to grow up. " - There are so many types of thriller movies in the world.What do you think is the characteristics of your movie and your own specialty?"I have been aiming for a fusion of human dramas and genre movies, but that was very difficult, because I thought I had something in common with my home environment and my family.Because you have to be mixed. So, when changing the genre of the story, I try to be careful. As the story progresses, I can go in a more scary direction, but go back.I can't do it. From a human drama, it is necessary to change the genre in step, like a mystery, thriller, and paranormal phenomena. I learn what these rules are while making a movie.You have done it. Also, even if you do not mention religion directly, you will gradually add spiritual elements little by little."In this work, when the romance elements were arranged in line with a human drama to science fiction, and other genres, I was interested in how it interacted. I studied the structure of the movie at school.There is no, so I want to try it intuitively, and I think it feels like playing free jazz. It's like trying out various forms and movements that feel comfortable with your ears."-Do you decide the role that the director himself plays in the comeo when he writes the script?"I will choose later. When I wrote the script, I thought that there was no place to enter this time, but as I repeated the draft several times," Oh, I might be able to play this role. "I think it's fun to play like this, but I'm not letting someone off instead of appearing (laughs). I usually try to appear in the early stages of the movie, and it's a hindrance to the audience.I don't want to be. This role in "Old" was very fun. It's set on the southern island, so it looks like a person who seems to be normally like me. "■" In the theater,The movie experience is something that can never be reproduced by other means -your activities are diverse, not only in movies and dramas, but also by animation.What do you think of your position in Hollywood?"I'm looking for myself. One of the jobs I have been imposed is to try and express a new movie, but that doesn't mean that the old way is invalid.In other words, you can screen a story with originality in a movie theater. In that case, a movie experience in the theater can build a very strong relationship with the story, which will never be possible to reproduce it by other means.I think it is my current job to fight such original works in movie theaters, and for films for movie theaters, provide even higher quality.I'm trying to do it again, if you can watch "Old" carefully, you'll find that there is no music in a specific scene, and you'll notice that the sound effects and sound are carefully examined. APPLE.Tv+tells you that you want to make up 40 episodes ("Servant Turner House Beauty"), taking advantage of the characteristics of the service. In such services, while maintaining the same values as when making a movie,I'm trying to learn a variety of ways to convey the story. " - What do you think is the secret to let the audience get tired?"It's not a secret, but I'm always conscious of" protecting discipline "for all productions. If I do this thoroughly, the audience starts screening as soon as the screening starts."You can master. In other words, this is where the scene is used, why such a light is used, why the camera moves only in such a case, and the music flows.For example, let's say a murderer is fleeing in a horror movie and there is a girl trying to make a sandwich at midnight. If she is hungry and scary music begins to flow while walking, you are you.At that time, I have an omnipotent viewpoint. The audience's perspective is ahead of her actions, and she starts to think that she will die. If she is afraid she will eat a sandwich, and notices the sound approaching.If so, the viewpoint of the audience will change. In this way, even if you grasp what the audience sees and make sure that you do not neglect it, storytelling will be fluent in storytelling. ""Old" is a reference to "Black Cat in Yabu" and "Rashomon". "-It's very interesting.There is a genre called J horror in Japan. Is there any work that you like or refer to in Japanese movies?"In fact, there are two Japanese movies that influenced this work. One is" Black Cat in the bush "directed by Kanehito Shindo. Two women killed by soldiers returned to be ghosts.It was a story about walking in the forest with a cloth, but it also moved with a cloth in the scene where the crystal moved on the beach.I was very impressed by the idea of hiding myself. Also, I really liked drums like the folk instrument of this movie soundtrack, and I used it in Old. The other one is,This is Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon". In this work, Kurosawa uses a lot of high -speed camera work in the forest, reflects unormented spaces, and reflects geometric materials to the parallax effect.I gave it. If you shoot in the forest or the sea, if you do not take such a method, it will look the same no matter what you shoot, and the difference will not appear. This is also for Old.It was a very useful technology, so I use it a lot. " - When the pandemic began, something very surreal suddenly happened in our lives and felt like a world in your movie somewhere.I was.If you were writing a story of this pandemic, what kind of conclusion would you make?"Let me think a little. Yes, it's already a very serious situation. I think we are in the second act right now. The second act seemed to be a vaccine in the United States and converged.However, a group that does not believe in pandemic and vaccines appears, "We are okay," and many more mutant viruses appear. No, this is the perfect second act. It seems to be solved.Although it was a hurdle, it seems that the problem is increasing without being solved. It was confusing if I was talking about this. In this second act, our current way of accepting is calm.Isn't it too much? If you were more serious about the problem, everyone would have been vaccine. I would make the third act open ending. "
