Roland Emmeric's "Stargate" is another translation, also called "Stargate".

On the original timeline, "The Cosmic Stranger" released in 1994 not only achieved a very good box office, but also, like Paramount's "Star Trek", using the "Star Gate" in the film as the main idea, forming a long-lasting science fiction film and television series, and has produced more than ten seasons of related TV series and a large number of sequel movies.

Simon has watched the original "Silent Strike" and some "Star Gate" series of TV series. According to his personal standards, the plot of "Silent Strike" is not outstanding. The key is to apply the concept of wormholes to the movie, which seems very novel.

As a science fiction action movie, the original action scenes are also very rough, which is simply terrible compared to the action blockbusters in Hollywood's later mature period.

Simon let Michael Bay be the director this time to make up for some of the flaws of the original version.

Michael Bay's good at "Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom" is actually very pleasing to the eye by the standards of popcorn movies. The complete collapse of the "Transformers" series is mainly due to the plot, and in the final analysis it is probably due to Michael Bay's own boredom with repeatedly directing a series, and Paramount lacks the courage to change directors, which is also one of the reasons.

"When it comes to character creation, Lieutenant Colonel O'Neal is a tough and resolute soldier. This is fine, and Dr. Jackson's setting is a bit vague." In the office, Simon remembered James Spider's unobtrusive performance in his memory and his thin portrayal of Dr. Jackson in the script, and said: "As the male protagonist who is more important than Lieutenant Colonel O'Neal's role, I hope his personality can be more distinct. In this regard, you can refer to the performances of Sam Neil and Jeff Goblenren in "Jurassic Park".

Although it is a standard commercial film, in "Jurassic Park", Sam Neil and Jeff Goblenren successfully portray two completely different characters of scholars. One is gentle and rigorous, and the other is funny and unruly.

In comparison, James Spader in "The Cosmic Story" is not so much a doctorate in archaeology and linguistics as a down-and-out middle school teacher, but actually gives people the feeling of being down-and-out young man in "Sex, Lies and Video Cases".

After all, James Spader is more suitable for starring in art films.

Roland Emmerich obviously considered this issue, saying, "So, Simon, how about you let Jeff play Dr. Jackson?"

Simon immediately understood Emmerich's meaning, with a strange expression, and said, "Are you going to copy Dr. Malcolm?"

Roland Emmerich nodded, but shook her head, saying, "Of course there will be some changes."

If Jeff Goblenren is used in this "Cosmic Strange Sword", then the next "One Day" will be a little troublesome.

Levinson in "One Day" is a largely replicate Malcolm in "Jurassic Park". He is equally unruly, not lacking in talent, and perhaps, he is also a bit down and out.

Shaking his head, Simon denied Emmeric's idea and said, "In this way, the emotional line of the script needs to be adjusted greatly. Jeff is older. Moreover, it is too good to copy a 'Dr. Malcolm'. "Jurassic Park" is still being released. Even next year, the audience should be more sensitive to this. I think that since Jackson is very young, he can become a doctor, he should have a nerdy personality who focuses on academics, a little simple and dull, but he is knowledgeable enough."

Michael Bay, who listens seriously as an apprentice, said at this time: "Simon, two male protagonists, one serious and the other dull, will definitely look dull when filming. According to the traditional brother movie mode, the characters of the two protagonists should be in a clear contrast."

When Simon heard this, he nodded and said, "This is indeed a problem, so adjust Lieutenant Colonel O'Neal's personality to make him more humorous."

As he said this, he noticed that both of them had thoughtful expressions. Simon looked at the time and said, "Forget it, you can discuss this matter privately and come up with a revision opinion. We will make an appointment for time at that time."

The two agreed, and everyone discussed some details and set up issues. Roland Emmerich and Michael Bay stood up to say goodbye.

After seeing off the two, Simon rushed to another conference room in the office building.

There are already many people waiting for him here, including Robert Rem, who was the president of Paramount Pictures after several twists and turns.

Others are mainly the creators of the Mission: Impossible series.

In addition to the long-established male lead Nicholas Cage, the project has started casting since the second half of last year.

The original "Mission: Impossible", at least the first few movies, was completely centered on Tom Cruise. Although the film had a good team prototype at the beginning, with Tom Cruise's strong character, he did not allow anyone to compete for his own brilliance in a movie. At the same time, for considerations such as pay, he did not allow stars who were similar to Cruise's status to appear.

It was not until later that the beauty of the audience was no longer so attractive that the Mission: Impossible series paid more attention to other team members, and successively introduced "Hawkeye" Jeremy Renner and "Superman" Henry Cavill to enhance the film's box office appeal.

This time, to be honest, Nicholas Cage still lacks box office appeal compared to Tom Hanks, so Simon plans to adopt a relatively pleasing team model from the beginning.

Of course, for the sake of sequel pay, the team members will not be completely fixed. However, computer master Luther played by Vin Remus and Benjamin, played by Simon Page, who can add jokes, will be fixed from the beginning.

Considering the freshness factor, the heroine needs to be replaced.

This also gives the project a lot of room for operation.

In the original version, because of Tom Cruise's various principles, the heroine is basically not a front-line, and she must not suppress the hero's brilliance, and she cannot be too tall. Cage certainly does not need these "taboos".

Therefore, compared with the original first Emmanuel Bea, who is very famous in North America, Daenerys Entertainment plans to launch first-line actresses this time.

As of now, in addition to Nicholas Cage, the director has decided that because the original version of Brian de Palma is going to film "Dawn of Love Owls", Simon also feels that the other party is not suitable.

After several searches, Australian director Philip Neuss, who had just directed "Midnight Bell", successfully obtained the director. The Australian director directed Harrison Ford's "Patriot Game", "Browning Chase" and Angelina Jolie's "Agent Sauter" on the original timeline.

The box office hit "Midnight Bell" also proves that this director who has made his own film since childhood is a versatile director similar to George Miller's films, and is enough to support this project.

The roles of hacker master Luther and colleague Benjamin have also been confirmed.

Luther is still played by the original version of Vin Remus. Simon and Remus collaborated in "Pulp Novel". Simon is very aware of the black actor's outstanding performance skills.

Simon Page is still an unknown person now, so Benjamin's role can only be replaced, and he finally chose Dana Cavi, who partnered with Mike Meiers in "Anti-Wisdom Star". Although the actor's comedy talent is not as good as Mike Meiers, it seems just right in a commercial production like "Mission: Impossible".

Franz, played by Jean Renault in the original version, was basically cut this time.

As a European movie star, Jean Renault will not always play supporting roles in a Hollywood movie project. The original version uses two European celebrities, Jean Renault and Emmanuel Bea. In addition to being cheap, it should also consider the European market.

Simon was not worried about this.

Hollywood movies already have strong enough output attributes, and do not need to be deliberately activated to gain market favor. Even if you say so forcibly, it will make the film look inappropriate.

The heroine is still in the final discussion stage.

Both Paramount and the creative team prefer Famick Jansen, the "Wonder Woman" to play the heroine in the first part.

Famick Jensen's performance in the first "Wonder Woman" in the summer last year really left a deep impression on the audience, and he also confirmed his image as a first-line actress and action star.

Simon was a little hesitant about this.

Originally, Hawkeye and Big Super joined "Mission Impossible" one after another. On the one hand, Hawkeye is not the core in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series. On the other hand, the ups and downs of the DC Cinematic Universe have made Warner unable to restrict Henry Cavill from choosing another action movie.

The DC movie universe is different now.

For Daenerys Entertainment, the DC Cinema Universe must be preferred. Simon will never allow the DC Cinema Universe actors to play roles similar to their superhero settings in other films, thus consuming the popularity of the DC Cinema Universe.

In recent years, the female "Catwoman" Valerie Golino, a woman in the DC movie universe, has developed very well outside the superhero series. However, corresponding characters, such as Jasper in "Peach Deal" last year, are completely different from the sexy and hot Catwoman setting in the "Batman" series.

This time in "Mission: Impossible", Simon hopes that the heroine has enough personality, not just a vase. Simon is not even worried that she will suppress the hero Nicholas Cage's edge. The hero and heroine sparks are everywhere, which makes the audience more likely to be excited.

If Famick Jansen is enabled, the actress who has just become famous with "Wonder Woman", she will play a "beat girl" in an action movie, and the character creation will inevitably move closer to Diana Prince, which Simon definitely does not want to see.

In the conference room, everyone discussed the preparations for "Mission: Impossible" for more than half an hour, and finally they were inevitably talking about the heroine.

Simon no longer hesitated. He didn't want this matter to be too stubborn and directly denied it: "Forget it, Famick, you should discuss other people. Well, Valerie doesn't want to think about it, and I don't want the second Catwoman in the movie. In addition, you can contact other first-line actresses at will. Of course, I want to remind everyone that you only have one month."

According to the plan, Mission: Impossible is expected to start filming in late February. If nothing unexpected happens, the shooting plus the post-production will last for a total of six to seven months, and the latest completion will be completed in late September, and the schedule will be directly locked at the end of the year.

If the heroine cannot be found when filming next month, then you can only look for it while filming. This kind of thing is very common in Hollywood, and the heroine's scenes in the first film are not too many.

For action movies, of course, it is more suitable for actresses to participate in action movies. Not only the character image, but also the filming experience. Actresses who have participated in action movies are definitely more suitable than actresses who have not participated in films of similar themes.

Simon directly passed the team's favorite Famick Jensen and Valerie Gollino. Everyone was a little depressed, but the work had to continue.

Robert Rem said: "So, Simon, do you think Miss Nicole Kidman can do it?"

Simon smiled and shook his head: "Nicole has no schedule."

"Batman: The Dark Knight" will also start filming in the first half of this year.

Nicole Kidman is a confirmed actor of the Poison Ivy Girl. With her girlish temperament, she is indeed more suitable for Mission Impossible.

Rem did not give up immediately and said, "I know, but it should be fine to adjust it."

Simon once again gave up Rem's idea: "I hope Nicole can concentrate on the creation of the Poison Ivy Girl."

All right.

Everyone looked at each other.

Hollywood bombshells have just risen in recent years, and there are not many actresses suitable for action movies.

Simon gave all the actors who were more optimistic about the team, but for a while, he couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

Skip this topic for the time being and everyone will start discussing other things.

It was so busy that it was lunch or work meal, with her female assistant as usual, as well as Amy Pascal and Danny Morris, the head of New World Pictures.

In the restaurant, I briefly discussed the progress of Daenerys Entertainment's 1992 company financial audit work with Amy. Simon turned to Danny Morris and asked about several projects under New World Pictures that he had paid more attention to recently.

There are mainly three scripts.

A vulgar comedy called "Detective's Aircraft Head".

On the original timeline, "Detective's Aircraft Head" was released earlier than "Ah Du and Agua", and is Jim Carrey's famous work.

The other two scripts are called "The Mortuary Haunted Incident" and the other one is called "The Conjuring".

Just by listening to the name, these are two horror movies.
Chapter completed!
