The Best Entertainment Era

After a busy day at work, after Christopher Nolan got off work, he bought the comics of The Dark Knight Returns. After returning home, he ate dinner first, said hello to his wife Emma Thomas, and went into the study to study. I bought the comics I just got.

Because of Ronan's suggestion during the day, and because he was more or less interested in adapting the movie, Christopher Nolan read the comics very carefully.

Looking at it, it was early morning.

Even after Emma Thomas reminded and urged him several times, Christopher Nolan still insisted on reading the entire comic.

Aren't you going to rest? Emma Thomas came to the study again and asked.

Christopher Nolan shook his head slowly: Honey, go to sleep first, I have some issues to think about.

Emma Thomas, aware of her husband's habits, left the study quickly.

After drinking a glass of water, Christopher Nolan opened the manga and picked out the key parts to read.

At this time, he fully understood why the producer Ronan specifically mentioned The Return of the Dark Knight, which is really very suitable for adaptation into a dark style movie.

Robin is dead.

Fifty-year-old Batman has hung up his robes.

Police Chief Gordon is retiring.

In Sin City - Gotham City, violent crime on the streets has intensified.

The society Bruce Wayne lives in is heading for collapse, and his long-repressed vigilante side finally breaks the shackles he set and emerges from the cocoon.

The Dark Knight returns in rage and flames.

He is no longer in the peak state of the year, and even his strong heart can't bear the continuous battles, but he still faces all kinds of pursuers without fear-he refuses to accept the result of old soldiers never die, they just wither.

He has a new generation of Robin -- a girl named Carrie Kelly who proves to be just as priceless as the previous generations of Robin.

However, their private law enforcement behavior caused numerous controversies, and the newly appointed Gotham City Police Chief also ordered his arrest.

Batman takes on crazed criminals and law-abiding police at the same time.

Christopher Nolan closed his eyes slowly, this superhero comic gave him a feeling: this is not a comic at all, but an exciting crime!

Compress those exaggerated superhero plots and settings back to the state of ordinary people, isn't this a very serious crime theme?

Christopher Nolan unconsciously entered the director mode, looked at the comics with the eyes of the adaptation, and even gradually thought of the background setting of the adaptation movie.

It was a very dark and painful city.

Years later, the crimes in Gotham City intensified, and the old Batman had to put on his battle uniform again and fight in isolation.

The loneliness in old age, the panic of crime, the indifference between people, the confrontation with the system, and the persistence of belief.

Thinking of this, Christopher Nolan suddenly shook his head, no!

These are not right!

Old Batman...

If you want to shoot Batman, even if you get the authorization from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, it will be a restarted version, a new Batman.

It should be based on relevant background settings, especially the dark and painful theme and atmosphere, and the story can be rewritten.

A whole new story about Batman's origin, but nothing like the previous film franchise.

The movie should create a nightmarish and dark atmosphere, highlighting the loneliness, sadness and heaviness of the protagonist.

And this new Batman is dark, cold, withdrawn, and insists on the last line of principle in his heart.

Christopher Nolan's thinking is getting clearer and clearer. For a director, he is about to enter the peak period of creation. As long as his sensitive thinking is touched, it will inspire countless related settings and plots.

In just half the night, Christopher Nolan had already set the tone for the adaptation before even testing the attitudes of Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

Because he found that he couldn't find a character and theme more suitable for the dark style than Bruce Wayne.

This is a protagonist who endures humiliation in the dark but moves forward with depression.

More importantly, the audience of this character and theme is wide enough!

When it comes to Marvel, everyone will think of Spider-Man at the first time; when it comes to DC, God in underwear and this big bat will jump out of people's minds in an instant!

It is no exaggeration to say that Spiderman, Batman and Superman are the most popular superheroes throughout North America and even the Western world.

Christopher Nolan has seen the list of the most popular superheroes released by many media every year. Maybe Spiderman, Batman and Superman have different rankings in each ranking, but they always firmly occupy the top three of the list!

His films are not made to be enjoyed at home, nor are they intended for a small group of audiences to watch.

Christopher Nolan likes big commercial productions, even now, Michael Bay is his favorite film director.

Batman can guarantee a sufficient audience base.

What to do next? Christopher Nolan started preliminary planning. After completing all the work of White Night, he formulated a plan and setting about Batman, and then joined Ronan Anderson's Relativity Entertainment to find Warner Bros. and DC Comics... …

Ronan Anderson is a producer, and he should also make relevant preparations. Maybe it will really allow Warner Bros. to restart the Batman series of movies.

There could even be a trilogy series in the works once it gets the green light.

That night, Christopher Nolan suffered from insomnia.

He rushed to Warner Studios early the next morning and immediately called Ronan. After Ronan arrived, he temporarily put aside the little remaining work of White Night Chase and discussed with Ronan for a whole day.

Ronan saw that Christopher Nolan's mind had turned to Batman, and he was in a great mood. He promised that as long as he could get the shooting authorization from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, even if Warner Bros. didn't want to invest a penny, he would be responsible for raising the money. All production budgets for the project.

What if we can't get the authorization? Christopher Nolan was a little worried.

Ronan already had this kind of mental preparation. After all, he only knew that Christopher Nolan and Legendary Films persuaded Warner Bros. and DC Comics in his previous life, but he didn't know anything about what happened in the middle.

Warner Bros. and DC Comics are not without the possibility of completely rejecting it.

Batman is not the only well-known hero who is active at night and has deep hatred and bitterness. Ronan looked very calm: Chris, as long as you finalize the frame setting and plot, we may not be able to find a backup option.

Christopher Nolan understood what Ronan meant, and Batman was the first choice for dark-style films, but he didn't have to hang on to the tree of Batman, after all, the copyright was in the hands of others.

He nodded and said, Ronan, please pay more attention to the backup options.

No problem. Ronan agreed happily, then straightened his face, and said, Chris, we have reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation. I have a proposal. Even if we face Warner Bros. A colossus that requires unity to be successful.

Christopher Nolan nodded slightly, and said, It is really difficult to convince Warner Bros.

Ronan said calmly: We need to establish a more stable cooperative relationship to ensure external consistency.

Some things have to be discussed and discussed. Now Christopher Nolan has a very happy conversation with him. Christopher Nolan in his previous life did not have a bad reputation for breaking his word, but no one can guarantee the specifics.

A written agreement can avoid many unnecessary risks.

What if Warner Bros. saw this project and wanted to work with Christopher Nolan, who was lured by the big company to switch to Warner Bros.?

This kind of possibility is not impossible, and the chances are quite high in a place like Hollywood.

Ronan wouldn't be foolish enough to gamble on Christopher Nolan's character.

Christopher Nolan was a smart man, he understood what Ronan meant, and said, No problem, please ask someone to talk to my agent about it, and I will greet him in advance.

Ronan said: Okay. I'll let the people from Sandsea Entertainment talk about it.

The most ideal situation is to be able to sign a few film directing contracts with the unprosperous Christopher Nolan.

A typical commercial blockbuster director like Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly a good director in Ronan's eyes.

After negotiating some things about the creation of dark-style movies, Ronan left the office building and went to the studio area of ​​the studio, visiting several crews one after another.

The pilot episode of Grey's Anatomy will be filmed soon, and it will be able to pilot on ABC in the first half of the year.

The crew of Taken was divided into two parts. Director Jeffrey Abrams led a large team to Paris for location shooting, and the assistant director led a team to stay in the studio to shoot some simple indoor background scenes.

The filming of Summer of Jeans also started. Ronan also chatted with Anne Hathaway for a while. Anne Hathaway made a special appointment with Ronan. When the filming of this film is completed, the two will catch up on the old days.

The crew of The Bourne, which has been filming in Europe before, has also returned to Los Angeles. Paul Greengrass' filming work has entered the final stage.

In addition, several sequel films have also started preparations under the operation of the production department of Shahai Entertainment.

Human Purge 3 and Fatal Turn 2 will start filming in the second half of the year, and Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse will also enter the preparatory stage this year, so as to catch up with the 2003 release schedule.

At the same time, there is also good news from Uwe Ball. After Jason Statham signed, other main actors are in place one after another, and Dungeon Siege will also start this year.

The Rival of All People in preparation is in contact with Charlize Theron, and South African diamonds are still hesitating.

The production projects of Sandsea Entertainment are steadily improving every year, fully reaching the standard of a medium-sized production company.

After Ronan asked about the work of these crews and dealt with some difficult issues, good news came from Scott. After some lobbying, a small shareholder of Apple was ready to transfer his shares.
