Chapter 869: shameless

Ronan paid more attention to Martin Scorsese's recommendation. After opening the envelope and taking out the letter, he looked at it carefully.
Martin Scorsese only read the script roughly once, because the genre did not meet his requirements, he did not leave a copy of the script at all, and could only describe it roughly.
The script is called "Super Storm".
Just looking at the name is a disaster film, and so is what Martin Scorsese describes.
The protagonist is a meteorologist, worried that global warming will trigger a storm that will destroy the entire east coast of the United States. Finally, one day, the storm occurs. This storm will stop on the volcano for a period of time before it reaches the United States. It will emit toxic dust into the air to poison and kill humans, the hero must stop all of this.
Although it is only a very simple summary, for those familiar with Hollywood movies, it is not difficult to see that this is the most commonly used routine in Hollywood movies.
The disaster that destroyed the world, the salvation full of personal heroism, the typical Hollywood theme.
It's a bit clichéd, but Hollywood movies have always been like this. The main line of most commercial movies is actually inextricably linked.
However, with only Martin Scorsese’s simple description, Ronan could not make a judgment. Martin Scorsese also stated clearly in the letter that he didn’t think the script was interesting, but thought that Relativity Entertainment might be more interested in such subjects. Interested.
Obviously, Martin Scorsese believes that Relativity Entertainment prefers commercial subjects.
The script name "Super Storm" already exists, so it is not difficult to find it.
Ronan immediately sent an email to Connie, asking her to send her staff to find the script, and the rest will have to wait for him to read the full version of the script.
After dealing with these preliminary, Ronan read the letter specially sent by Tom Cruise again, and the copy of the script also came with the letter.
The screenwriter Brian Singer who just finished filming "Superman Returns" and is about to initiate a new film project, the theme of World War II, tells the whole process of the initial plan of the "Valkyrie" operation on July 20, 1944 until the final failure .
The name of the script, Ronan, once paid attention to-"Action Target Hitler".
Ronan called Tom Cruise directly. Tom Cruise clearly stated that he is in talks with Brian Singer. The specific matter has not yet been determined. If Relativity Entertainment is interested in "Action Target Hitler", he can Bridge the two sides.
"Why are you interested in this character?" Ronan was a little strange.
He once discussed with Tom Cruise and Will Smith that although "Brothers" has achieved great success, in recent years, the market response of war movies has not been very good, and World War II is no exception.
Tom Cruise gave a very powerful reason: "The reason why I was attracted by this project and the male protagonist Stauffenberg is because I saw the photos of Stauffenberg and found that he and me are very similar in profile. ."
He asked on the other side of the phone: "Are you not interested in this project?"
Ronan told the truth: "I have doubts about the theme of World War II."
It seems that this film is a very inconspicuous one among all Tom Cruise's works.
Tom Cruise has been with Ronan for a long time and was greatly influenced by Ronan. He said: "Then I will think about it again. It seems that there is something wrong with this project."
Ronan didn't say any more, "Let's do it, Tom, I'll talk another day."
This subject looks good, and the assassination of Hitler is also very politically correct. However, in recent years, World War II and the downturn in the subject of war are an indisputable fact.
Even this film is prone to controversy, because in the mainstream view of the West, Stuffenberg's assassination of Hitler was a typical "dog biting a dog".
Churchill, the British fat man, even publicly promoted this view more than once.
The script of "Action Target Hitler" was put into the ranks of direct negation by Ronan.
The next email comes from Matthew Leonetti, the director of photography for "Dawn of the Living Dead" and "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors." In addition to the reply, the script is also attached.
Ronan glanced at the name of the script attachment, and knew that it was the theme-"Zombie Paradise".
Looking at the name, it is not the type of "Dawn of the Living Dead", which has a deep hatred. It may be the typical zombie comedy route of "Zombie Shaun".
The background story setting of the script is almost the same as most zombie movies.
A strange virus has emerged across the United States. As long as humans are infected with this virus, they will become zombies, and then zombies will become carriers of the virus, continuing to infect people who don’t know the truth.
The difference is that when the actor came out, it was already the end of the world, and there were not many survivors left in the world.
Of course, this is not "The Walking Dead" that sells dog meat. The villain in the film is a zombie.
Regarding the setting of the male protagonist, it is also relatively new. The male protagonist is not a type of killing squares, but a cowardly person, and has summarized a set of effective apocalyptic survival rules.
For example, "make a shot" to ensure that the zombie is dead, and "get in the car to check the back seat" to ensure that it will not be attacked by the zombie.
It is this set of rules that allows the male protagonist to survive in the perilous apocalyptic world.
The script sets up four protagonists, in addition to the cowardly male protagonist, there are also the second male who is tough enough to do it, and a pair of liar sisters.
There is no complicated human struggle, and there is no psychological struggle back and forth with ink marks. In this world where there is no one in Liao and full of zombies, they can only depend on each other.
After seeing the script, Ronan even felt like he wanted to laugh.
Because the whole script is not a zombie movie.
There is no separation of life and death, no flesh and blood, zombies and playgrounds are integrated, several protagonists seem to be playing an adventure game, relaxed and exciting, but also very happy.
Coupled with many subtle, natural, and abrupt jokes that make people laugh, some can faintly see the shadow of "Zombie Shaun" after the Americanization.
The script is quite interesting.
More importantly, the survival rules of the male protagonist, the setting of the four protagonists, especially the liar sister Hua, all evoke Ronan's memory.
He has watched this film!
If I remember correctly, the actor is the one who starred in Zuckerberg in "Social Network", the second male is Woody Harrison, and the first female is Emma Si who did not play Gwen Stacey at the time. Tong, also known as "Sister Stone" on the other side of the Pacific.
The second female is a humble kid, Ronan can't remember.
It seems that a second sequel was filmed later.
Ronan turned to the end of the script, and there were related introductions and contact information of the two screenwriters.
There are two screenwriters, namely Little Reese and Paul Winnick, newcomers to the film industry, and they are also the first to try to write a script.
But the two have certain qualifications in the entertainment and media industry. Before, they served as screenwriters without authorship for two years in a reality show on cbs.
In other words, "Zombie Paradise" is actually a new script for newcomers, and there is a high probability that the copyright of the script is still in the hands of the two screenwriters.
Ronan had the impression that he once saw this film around 2010, and can't remember the exact time.
There is a note on this script. The two screenwriters started writing last year and completed it early this year. Ronan guessed that it was most likely created after watching "Zombie Shaun". After all, there are places in the script that can see "Zombie Shaun". shadow.
Ronan directly notified Connie and asked her to contact the two screenwriters as soon as possible to ask if the copyright is still there.
The biggest problem with this method of collecting movie scripts and themes is copyright.
Interesting scripts read by professionals in the circle may have long been copyrighted.
But it is worthwhile to find one project out of dozens of projects.
After Ronan passed a few more scripts, Connie’s assistants had feedback that the copyright of "Zombieland" was still in the hands of Litt-Rice and Paul-Wenick. The two agreed to come to the Theory of Relativity Building tomorrow morning to negotiate.
The two screenwriters have recently promoted their scripts in Hollywood, and like all new screenwriters who are new to the film industry, they are basically in a state of bumping into walls.
But in Ronan's eyes, Litt-Reese and Paul-Wenike are not pure newcomers. The experience of working in cbs will also make them have some empirical judgments in their contact with Relativity Entertainment.
Therefore, Ronan will not come forward and ask the copyright department to send someone to receive Liott-Rice and Paul-Wenike, and directly buy out the copyright of the script from them.
For the time being, there will be no better options for Little Rees and Paul Winnick.
Ronan was quickly attracted by a project recommended by a TV drama producer.
This producer named John Wilson once served as a production manager in the "Prison Break 2" crew, and he grew up with Relativity Entertainment.
In the letter ~EbookFREE.me~ John Wilson strongly recommended Ronan a TV series that was launched in the UK last year, and specifically mailed all the DVD discs of the first season of the TV series.
Ronan certainly didn't have time to watch the discs episode by episode. He just saw the title of the TV series on the disc and asked Connie to tell John Wilson to come to Relativity Entertainment to see him tomorrow.
The name of this British TV series is "Shameless". Looking at the content, it is almost a British version of a popular American drama.
But the British version of the show is in front of him. Ronan doesn't need to guess to know that 80% of the previous American shows are remakes from the British version.
Ronan is not surprising, after all, American dramas or Hollywood movie remakes of British works belong to Hollywood's routine operation.
Once on the other side of the Pacific, Ronan had watched the first season. Although he hadn't watched it, he was somewhat impressed with that family.
This British drama also reminded him a little bit. It seems that the American drama has been filmed for about eight or nine seasons, right? It seems that the score is always high.
If you want to remake, you must first look at the operability of copyright.
