"Edge of Tomorrow", I really didn't expect that the script that Andy said was actually "Edge of Tomorrow"!
According to the context of the previous life, this movie should be released in 2014. The male protagonist is Tom Cruise and the female protagonist is Emily-Blunt; not only that, this work is from the beginning of the project. It locked in the top big names to star, at first Brad Pitt, and then Tom Cruise, never considered other options.
But now it's only 2011, the script has actually been approved? Besides, it wasn't Brad or Tom that actually came to his hands? Although it is just a trial and inquiry of intention, even if it is not, the development trend of the matter is still totally different from the previous life.
Is this the butterfly effect, and the timeline is disrupted? Or, it’s just a project, and there is still a long way to go before shooting and screening. Maybe, in the final analysis, the work will still be released in 2014, or will it be in Tom’s hands. It’s just Lan Li’s random thoughts?
However, leaving aside the leaps and bounds of the disrupted timeline for the time being, the script is a work on the blacklist in 2010, and now Warner Bros. has begun to establish a project, all of which are in the past. Returning to the "Edge of Tomorrow" script itself, I have to say that the blacklist is indeed trustworthy, and Andy's killing is also admirable.
"Edge of Tomorrow" tells an uncomplicated story. The future world is caught in the panic of alien invasion. The male protagonist William Cage (Ge) is an officer who can only talk about war on paper and has never been in actual combat. After the superior's order, the general threw him into a suicide operation as a deserter, and he died as soon as he entered the battlefield. But he didn't expect that he had entered an endless loop of time, participating in this suicide action again and again, and dying again and again until victory.
Similar to time-space cycles or chaotic works, "Groundhog Day" is undoubtedly a classic masterpiece, and then there have been many works such as "butterfly effect", "source code", "ring messenger", and "Edge of Tomorrow" is one of them.
In the previous life, the film was directed by Doug Liman (Doug), the director who filmed "The Bourne" and "The Smiths". He was known for his sharp editing style and simple rhythm control. Below, the advantages and disadvantages of "Edge of Tomorrow" are very obvious. The urgent and fast pace makes the character not have enough room to play and turns into a facial popcorn hero image, but the rich imagination and courageous fighting style make the watching process. The climax/tide rises, and the whole narrative rhythm is achieved in one go.
"Edge of Tomorrow" won the applause of film critics. The media review reached 71%, and the Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Index was as high as 91%, with an average score of 7.5. This score is for commercial films. It can be said to be very gratifying. In the summer file of 2014, it thrived, surpassing "Transformers 4", "Godzilla", "X-Men: Reverse the Future", "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and other works, which are considered to be the same year. The most outstanding commercial works of the film critics in the summer file.
But what is surprising is that the reputation of "Edge of Tomorrow" among the audience has been divided. The IMDB score is as high as 250 and the popcorn index has reached 90%. The score is only a disappointing "B+". It can be understood that senior audiences and professional audiences can't put it down and praised them one after another; ordinary audiences refused to buy it.
This situation is also directly reflected in the box office data in the end, which can be said to be a typical representative of good people.
The film investment is as high as 180 million, but it only achieved a box office of 100 million US dollars in North America. The overseas box office benefited from the strong appeal of Tom Cruise, sweeping 270 million, but even so, the global box office There are only 370 million. As a result, Warner Bros. lost nearly 40 million. Fortunately, the film performed well in the Blu-ray disc market, and eventually the revenue and expenditure barely reached a balance, which can be described as dangerous.
However, considering the movie’s exceptional reputation and Tom Cruise’s strong appeal, Warner Bros. gave the green light to finalize the sequel. It's just that the sequel project has been dragged and dragged, until the rebirth of Lan Li, he was not able to shoot, and the quality was impossible to know.
There is no doubt that the quality of the script from the blacklist lineup of "Edge of Tomorrow" has been affirmed. This book adapted from the original Japanese book "The Reincarnation of Killing" is simply neat, simple in writing, clear in logic, and the point of the story is but with action. The dramas complement each other. The only regret is that the ending is a little weaker, and the sublimation and aftertaste of "Groundhog Day" and "Butterfly Effect" are lost.
On the whole, compared to science fiction, this work achieves an excellent balance between science fiction and action, and focuses on action scenes. There is no urine throughout the story, and it is full of vigor and momentum, which takes the advantages of commercial movies to the extreme. In the last life, "Edge of Tomorrow" was generally regarded as Tom Cruise's best work in ten years, even surpassing the fourth and fifth "Mission Impossible". This is not without reason.
Since the quality of the finished product is so good, why has the box office of the movie not improved? Even if you don't expect North America to 300 million, the average line of 200 million is far away. It is just barely breaking the 100 million threshold. This achievement is really disappointing.
From the perspective of hindsight, industry professionals generally believe that the reason for the failure is Tom Cruise.
In fact, similar to "Dark Shadow" Johnny Depp, Tom has also fallen into a fixed image. Since the "Minority Report" in 2002, until 2017, Tom has starred in 16 movies, 11 of which All are sci-fi action movies with a unified style. After entering the second half of his career, Tom gave up the Oscar competition, and also gave up the broadening of the play road, embarked on the old road of Adam Sandler, repeating himself constantly. The path of "action superstars" is gone forever.
Even the "Mission Impossible" series is no exception. In the first three parts, the focus of publicity was "Atang is full of charm", while the focus of the next few parts is always "Atang overcomes age constraints and constantly challenges the limit." .
Before "Edge of Tomorrow", Tom had just starred in "Lost Battlefield" whose style, genre, subject matter and story were extremely close. The reputation of this work was a mess, and the box office was only 89 million. "Xia Detective Jack" and "Dangerous Spy War" are also all deja vu.
In other words, "Tom Cruise" is one of the top signboards in the United States today. Countless audiences have chosen to walk into the cinema because of him, but they are disappointed again and again. In the process, "Dai Zhong The recovery of "Spy 4" regained some confidence in people, but it was smashed to pieces. To put it simply, "cheated", the feeling of disappointment gradually drains the audience in silence.
In addition, Tom’s personal perseverance is also one of the important reasons. Handsome, handsome, young, vigorous and vigorous, this is an important part of Tom’s image and brand. In order to continue this image, the film’s publicity plan, the focus of the script, and even the director’s shooting techniques will focus on creating such an image of "Tang Brother"; but the fact is that when filming "Edge of Tomorrow", Tom has already Fifty-two years old, the image created twenty years ago will be the same twenty years later, unknowingly it has fallen behind the times.
Tom's contemporary actors, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, etc. have all transformed, only he is still maintaining the idol image that he established when he was "high ambitious."
The two heroines of "Legend of War" are seventeen and nineteen years younger than Tom, and the heroine of "Edge of Tomorrow" is 21 years younger than Tom. The fact is that among the works starring Tom, the heroines who have direct rivals with him are within ten years of age. The last time was Demi Moore in 1992, when the two co-starred in "Yihai Xiongfeng."
Invisibly, more and more audiences are gradually leaving because of the aesthetic fatigue of Tom's image.
Looking at Tom Cruise’s personal box office, after the 2005 "World War", in addition to the "Mission Impossible" series, "Edge of Tomorrow" is the only work with a box office of over 100 million in North America and a box office superstar of the past. , Now only relying on the "Mission Impossible" brand to continue his career as an actor.
To some extent, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has the same effect for Johnny Depp.
This explains the feedback from the audience of "Edge of Tomorrow". Professional audiences do not look at Tom Cruise, but at the quality, and naturally clap their hands. Ordinary audiences do not look at the quality, but see Tom Cruise, and feel the surprise, but more Most of the disappointment with the "old style" ~www.novelhall.com~The negative word-of-mouth effect brought by the "Lost Battlefield" in the year extended to the box office loss of "Edge of Tomorrow" in 2014.
Of course, is there room for improvement in the "Edge of Tomorrow" itself? Maybe there is, maybe not, but this is a commercial popcorn movie. The shortcomings are inevitable. As long as the shortcomings do not affect the fluency of the whole movie, then it is forgivable. So, in the final analysis, it is Tom Cruise and a series of questions derived from Tom:
Promotional positioning, script weight, role modeling, shooting focus, etc.
But taking a step back, without Tom Cruise, can "Edge of Tomorrow" still get 100 million box office in North America?
The cost of the previous works was 180 million, and the publicity costs were even more unrelenting. But from what Andy just said, the budget is only 100 million. Even the promotion of the project is a problem, not to mention other resources. Up. Without Tom, "Edge of Tomorrow" may really have to wait until 2014 to be released.
In addition to the director, Tom brought the entire production team for the entire production team of the previous life's work, just like the movie "Detective Jack" not long ago. The screenwriter is Christopher McCauley topher-MQe) This screenwriter who made his name with the "very suspect" is Tom's queen screenwriter, even if he wrote such bad scripts as "Deadly Companion" and "Jack the Giant Catcher" , But still cooperated with Tom in works such as "Action Target Hitler", "Mission Impossible", "The Hero Detective Jack", "The New Mummy" and so on.
In addition, photographers, lighting engineers, art designers, art directors, and producers are all Tom's royal team.
Without Tom, "Edge of Tomorrow" is a completely empty shelf. 8)
