Frank Miller, who put this work on the big screen, is also a cartoonist himself. He has two works on the big screen, one is Sin City and the other is 300 Spartans. The novel and unique shooting techniques make these two films very popular. Frank Miller tried to be a director in Sin City, but the film was directed by robert rodriguez. Strictly speaking, Ghost is Frank's directorial debut, because this is his first independent film.
Frank Miller and Will Eisner have a long friendship of more than 20 years. However, Frank admits that when directing the works of his most respected predecessors, he also had some misgivings at first: "At first, I was even afraid to accept the heavy responsibility of directing, because Will Eisner was my mentor, but after careful consideration, I firmly believe that no one else can impress this cartoon, and I know the meaning of Will's works best. I want to use modern film technology to present Will's adventurous world on the big screen. "
When Frank Miller directed "Sin City" with robert rodriguez, he learned a lot that he had never seen before, which also accumulated a good experience for him to direct "Ghost": "Now there are many computer technologies that can be applied to movies, and the problem I face is how to choose and make good use of these technologies, which all depends on me. I can use this technology, but should I use it? " In this film, I used similar techniques when directing Sin City, and CGI produced the desired effect perfectly. The film is not completely loyal to the original background of the comic book. I incorporated the background of different times into the film, so you will not only see cars produced in the 1950s, but also see modern mobile phones in the film. "
Gabriel macht, who plays the hero's ghost, is not a big star in Hollywood. The more familiar film work is Love Song for You, in which he plays Ranson, an alcoholic, and wins the appreciation of film critics. It is a good opportunity to play the leading role in Ghost. When talking about how he got the role, Gabriel said: "Although I am not a crazy comic book fan, I am definitely a huge fan of comic book adaptation movies. When my agent told me to audition, he told me nothing. When I got there and saw Frank Miller, I got excited at once. I like Sin City and Sparta 300 Warriors very much. Now, the creators of these two films are standing in front of me and introducing himself to me. Every actor is looking forward to working with a director with a unique style. Frank is the director with the strongest personal style I have ever seen. The audition process is very long. When I approached the role step by step, I became more and more excited, and finally I got the role. "
In American cartoons, you will find that octopus is often the embodiment of evil, so is Spider-Man, and so is ghost. Samuel jackson, who has appeared in films such as Pulp Fiction and Iron Man and won the best supporting actor in Cannes for "Jungle Fever", plays the villain. He was also Frank's first choice: "From the beginning, I wanted samuel jackson to play the role of doctor octopus, because I was always looking forward to the opportunity to cooperate with him. I always feel that there is an explosive force in him. "
Eva mendes has done well in Hollywood in recent years. Since she played a small role in Shocking Education, will smith's The National Lover and Nicolas Cage's The Ghost Man have both bought a lot of box offices, and their popularity has also risen. This time, she played the jewel thief Sander salif in Ghost, which was also the ghost's first love. In Frank's view, this is even more important than the ghost of the protagonist. When a reporter asked why there were so many beautiful stars in Hollywood, he chose eva mendes to play Sander salif. Frank jokingly told reporters, "Although you wear glasses, you obviously have no eyes. Eva has a delicate and perfect face. She is not only talented and beautiful, but also has the temperament necessary for this role. "
Eva mendes was also excited to play this important role: "Frank showed me some original cartoons of Ghost. Sander is a deadly woman. If she is provoked, she will even eat you for breakfast. This is so exciting. I've never played such a role. I just hope I don't have to dye my hair red in the movie. I dyed my red hair when I starred in Fast and Furious 2. I thought it would be fun, but it actually looks funny. That was the worst decision I ever made, so in Ghost, it was enough to make my hair a little red. "
Scarlett Johansson is one of the best young actresses in Hollywood, and her sexy appearance makes her a new generation goddess. Scarlett, a superb actress, has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award four times. Lost in Tokyo, The Girl with Pearl Earrings, Another Boleyn Girl and Match Point are her representative works. This time, Scarlett plays Hugh Frost, the female secretary of doctor octopus in Ghost, which is the most concerned by the media among many beautiful actresses.
Jamie king plays the mysterious banshee Lorelei. This supermodel, who has endorsed many international brands such as Victoria's Secret, has also made amazing performances in films such as Pearl Harbor and Sin City. After working with Frank again this time, Jamie admitted that he was very excited: "This is different from Frank's previous works. Sin City looks like a page after page, and ghosts are more coherent. No one knows Will Eisner better than Frank Miller, because Will is not only Frank's mentor, but also his closest friend. I like the whole process of working with Frank. He likes movies very much. We have adopted unprecedented shooting technology, and I am really lucky to be part of such an innovative film. "
Sin City in 2005, Sparta 300 Warriors in 2007, let fans see that the comic book adaptation film can be made so different, which is really an eye-opener. Now, the original authors of these two films have also taken the first step on the road of directing films independently. This adapted cartoon is Will Eisner's most famous work Ghost, and is known as "the godfather of American comics". Judging from the trailer, the style is similar to that of Sin City, but it is more colorful. Sin City is cool, yes, but I hope Ghost is more than a simple copy. It has no characteristics, and picky fans will not buy it.
In addition to the visual impact of the image, the biggest attraction of this film is of course the super super eye-catching beauty. Scarlett Johansson, eva mendes, jamie king and so on. The focus of this film's publicity falls on a group of beautiful women. No wonder so many fans are full of expectations for this film. Frankly speaking, if you want to see beautiful women, sexy beautiful women and sexy breasts, the devil can satisfy you!
