[Edit this paragraph] Movie appreciation

Edgar wright grew up in Wells, a small town in Somerset, England, and has been an avid fan of gangster movies since childhood. He would rather wait all night in order to wait until the police film is shown on TV. Wright recalled: "I didn't own a video recorder until 17 years old. I'm fascinated by gangster movies, from the early Harry Potter and other similar movies in the 1960s and 1970s to deadly weapon and die hard Rowen Rowen in the 1980s. " /kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, Wright put all his passion and understanding into the police film and made "Deadly Enemy". 12 years later, Wright, whose daily framework is perfect and mature, finally made his talents shine. Shaun the Zombie, which he co-produced with simon pegg, has become a popular movie all over the world. Apart from the nominations and honors of many authoritative awards, the enthusiastic voices of fans are overwhelming. In the overwhelming praise, Wright and Peggy are not complacent, but thinking hard about their next film shooting plan. Wright thinks it's time to put his childhood fantasies on the big screen. He said, "Simon and I are both from small towns in the west of England. I'm from Somerset and he's from Gloucester. When I was a child, there was never a fierce and exciting police-bandit conflict there. So we are full of infinite yearning for that scene. After the shooting of Shaun the Zombie in the north of London where we live now, the location should be moved to the place where we grew up. " "Britain has a long tradition of crime films and police films, but there are not many police films in Britain, which is exactly our plan," Wright said. "And there are very few British police movies in which the protagonist is a policeman in uniform. So we began to think, how can we turn a British policeman in uniform into a cool action hero? " Police action movies should be more expensive than zombie movies. During the preparation of Shaun the Zombie, Ryder and Peggy used "richard curtis's george romero Film" to lobby for the title of film company. In this film, it is more appropriate to use "English postcards shot by Jerry Bruckheimer and Joel Silver". Producer Nira Park recalled: "Simon and Edgar orally put forward their ideas. Working Title responded faster than several producers and directly agreed to shoot, so they started writing scripts." Before writing, Wright and Peggy conducted extensive research. They had to watch 200 police and bandit movies, including blue lanterns on cold nights in the 1950s, blue electra gliding in the 1970s, super policemen, Freby and Bean in the 1980s, 48 hours, attackers of soldiers and deadly weapons. There are more and more DVDs in their hands, and Danny Batman, a policeman designed for nick frost, is becoming more and more plump. Batman's favorite movies are Breakthrough and Jedi 2. Peggy said, "Danny and my character Angel watched Jedi 2 together. In the film, martin lawrence's words are just right for their situation. He is like commenting on our plot. " It was after Wright and Peggy visited the police stations in London, Somerset, Gloucester, Dorset and Wiltshire that the script of the film really began to take shape. Peggy said, "We visited the 15 rural police station and interviewed many policemen. Everyone's conversation was very frank and helpful, and many details surprised us. " As a result, there are some real materials in the film, among which the escaped swan is real. There are always many distractions in central London. Wright and Peggy soon decided to continue writing plays in Wright's hometown of Wales, where there was no internet or telephone, so they could concentrate. There are 50 characters in the script with lines. Although there are many roles, only Peggy and Frost are the best candidates to play angels and Batman. These two people are good friends. They worked together on Shaun the Zombie. Who else can replace them? Wright said: "They are perfect partners on the screen. The tacit understanding and harmony between them is the center of Hot Blood Detective, even more important than the scene in Shaun the Zombie. " Frost said, "You know, now that Simon is married, I can't see him very often. So when someone asks you, would you like to be with your best friend for four months, the answer is of course yes. " Peggy said: "He is our secret weapon, so it is not bad to write a role for him. I always thought he was the most interesting person I knew. He is very talented, we are good friends and it is natural to work together. " Although Frost was not involved in writing the script, he kept in touch with Ryder and Peggy, so he made some important suggestions. "Simon and Edgar are glad that I can make suggestions together," said Frost. "I thought of Danny Batman's name." In addition to Peggy and Frost, many actors from Shaun the Zombie appear in this film, and the audience will be pleasantly surprised to find that Cate Blanchett also appears in the film. When talking about the film, Timothy Dalton said: "I have never seen such a script, and immediately agreed to act in it. When shooting a scene, I told Edgar that it was more interesting than the 007 movie I played. " Dalton personally completed the stunt of chasing a car in the film, which was praised by director Wright as the most interesting experience in shooting, because Wright was lying in the back seat of a police car without a door, watching the micro-monitor, running wildly on the road at a speed of 80 miles per hour, and his face was covered with sand and mud. Although the film was shot in London in March 2006, most of it was shot in Wright's hometown of Wales. Wright said that at first he didn't expect to shoot in Wales: "Maybe subconsciously, when Simon and I wrote the script, Stamford in the story was a village and Wales was a city, but it was really ideal." Indeed, churches, markets and cobblestone streets in Wales are perfect choices. Wright and the creative staff began to look for shooting locations in 2005 and visited many places before finding Wells, the most suitable one. Marcus Rowland, the production designer, led the art department to make Wales more rural and exotic. All the buildings in the film are soft brown and green, which are the traditional colors of English countryside. When shooting in Wells, the crew often blocked the town square and surrounding streets (usually only 10 minutes at a time). Wright said: "Although we have tried our best, we can't completely block the whole square. But fortunately, the lens was cut well. I believe the audience in Wales will be curious when we saw this film. " The spring of 2006 was cold and rainy, so the shooting plan was delayed for several days. Wright complained: "This is the real reason why many people don't want to make action movies in Britain. When it comes to the next movie, I may shoot indoors or in Arizona. " Because Peggy and Frost have been wearing police uniforms at the shooting scene, some foreign tourists think they are real policemen. When they ask about the parking time, Frost will say with dignity that you can park from noon to 2 pm. Some villagers in the film are played by actors from the local amateur theatre company in Wales. During filming, Wright met many old friends, former classmates and teachers, and visiting family members. He said, "Some of them appeared in movies, and we held a public audition at my alma mater. My drama teacher, Simon's mother and my mother appeared in the same picture, which was almost cut out. Simon said to me, you can't do this. My mother is a guest in it. Fortunately, the last picture was preserved, and there were no tears at Christmas. " The action scenes in the film need Peggy's physical strength, which is much more complicated than the words in the script. Peggy said: "when you write a script, you create the plot from the perspective of the role, but execution is another matter." I was running in the street, and my legs seemed to be full of lead. I wonder, you bastard, why did you let Angel run 10 mile! "In order to strengthen physical fitness, Peggy hired three coaches to eat in strict accordance with the recipe, and they were not allowed to eat after 8 pm. When filming in Wales, Peggy ran two miles from her residence to the production center every morning. And his partner Frost waved to Peggy in the car every day because he didn't need strict training.

About the director

Edgar wright once said in an interview: There are many crime movies in Britain, but there are not many movies about British police, which is why he made Hot Blood Detective. Although the British police are not the coolest in the world now, in the film, the director hopes to make them the coolest police. Although he didn't say much about his next plan, he said he was doing an adaptation of Scott pilgrim.

About actors

Simon pegg has just finished Mission Impossible III with Tom Cruise, and appeared in the film Hot Blood Detective written by him and edgar wright, in which he plays the leading role of Angel, giving full play to his comic talent. Nick frost in nick frost is a fat English gentleman, so when Simon jumps over obstacles, he is always stopped and has to take a more dramatic approach. In the interview, the reporter mentioned comedy. He said he didn't know much about comedy. Director edgar wright said that he likes Batman.

About screenwriters

The screenwriter of this film is a part-time director (edgar wright) and a part-time star (simon pegg). Both of them tried a police life for this film, and they had many identical views. However, due to time constraints, they rarely have the opportunity to exchange views together.

Introduction to creation

This film is another comedy after Shaun the Zombie, which was co-produced by edgar wright edgar wright, Simon Pegg Simon Pegg and nick frost. Nick frost and simon pegg decided to make a crime and comedy film on June 5438+ 10, 2005. They found their former co-director edgar wright and made the film Hot Blood Detective. Simon pegg said in an interview: "We want to tell the story of a crazy and enthusiastic policeman who came to a small village from a big city and did strange things with his new colleagues. The policemen they show to the audience are policemen who have no real weapons and equipment and want to handle major cases. There are many suspense and jokes in the film ... "simon pegg thinks that police and crime are a very interesting topic, so the theme of this film will also be here. He also said that the action scenes of this film will be better than American blockbusters, but it will not let the film win by action, but will be full of other successful elements and will be made into a British action blockbuster. All the viewers who like Sean the Zombie will love this movie. Because their last film Sean the Zombie was a great success in Britain and America, many production companies expressed their willingness to invest in this new film. The creative staff all think that this "Hot Blood Detective" will be better than "Shaun the Zombie" and the box office will be more than twice that of "Shaun the Zombie". It is not easy to make a shooting schedule, because shooting in Britain will start in spring, so the schedules in edgar wright and simon pegg must be the same. Although everyone is trying to catch up with each other, it is still very difficult to really do it. Simon pegg is also the central figure in the film, and the scene is very heavy. Director edgar wright is also making MV for Ash. Both of them have tried to live as policemen, and both have some similar ideas, but they have never sat together and discussed them.

[Edit this paragraph] Behind the scenes tidbits

The film has only eleven weeks to shoot. After the shooting is completed, it takes two weeks to do post-production, which must be very efficient. In order to create a good image of Nicholas Angel in the film, simon pegg spent a lot of time training his gun skills. At the same time, he spent a long time practicing the brakes when riding a bike. It seems that simon pegg is really an excellent actor. The unlocking code of the evidence room is 999, which is the same as the alarm telephone number in Britain. The hero of this film is named Nicholas Angel to pay tribute to the film's music director Nick Angel and the zombie Shaun. In the film, Angel once drove a diesel version of vauxhall Astra and Subaru impreza WRX, in which Subaru's logo became "HF", which is obviously the abbreviation of the film title. In Shaun the Zombie, nick frost plays Ed who once shot his sister's leg with an air gun. In this film, he shot the doctor in the leg with an air gun. In the first half of the film, Danny always asks Angel some annoying questions, such as "Have you ever jumped in the air with two guns?" Angel replied, "No, you watch too many police movies!" " "In the second half of the film, Angel almost completed every movement that Danny proposed. Simon pegg lost 28 pounds to play an angel. Sommerfield Supermarket is indeed a chain supermarket in Britain, and the related scenes were indeed filmed in the supermarket. Sommerfield was chosen because director edgar wright worked as a supermarket replenishment clerk in Sommerfield when he was young, and he also made a guest appearance in the film. In the first draft of the script, a woman named Victoria fell in love with Angel. After the revision, her role no longer exists, and all the dialogues are given to Danny. Nick frost liked the Winchester shotgun used in shooting very much, and named it "Emma". There are 29 bodies in the film. Skinner was wearing leather gloves when the police were about to arrest him, but in the shot taken from behind, the leather gloves were missing. Skinner's light blue Jaguar XK convertible headrest style is inconsistent.
