From the concept to the screen: how the Outgo-one has changed during the filming

It is no secret that Hollywood studios sometimes send ready -made feeding tapes with hasty correction of the script and shooting. Recent blockbusters like "Fantastic four" And "Suicide detachment" They will not let them lie! "Outcast-one" , The first branch "Star Wars" , I suffered the same fate – management Walt Disney And Lucasfilm I did not like the first version of the picture of Gareth Edwards, which is why the producers hired a new author, Tony Gilroly.

And this is far from all the adventures of the film on the way to the premiere. If you want more details? Well, perhaps, you will have to dig a little deeper.

The mission is impossible

In the fall of 2012, the Walt Disney Empire bought a refuge for visionaries and rebels Lucasfilm. New copyright holders decided to develop space opera in two directions. The first and obvious is the continuation of the history of the Skyuoker family, the second is branches dedicated to landmarks or key characters of the universe. ABOUT "Awakening of power" You yourself know everything: a film based on plot moves "New Hope" , I raised more than two billion dollars at the box office, which assured Disney in the correctness of the selected path. With branches, it is more and more difficult-let's analyze why, on the example of "Outopsy-one".

Dream Vegas Casino

John Noll, a supervisor of special effects and one of the leaders appeared in the idea of ​​this picture Industrial Light & Magic (a company engaged in the creation of visual effects), even while working on the trilogy-prick. He assumed that it would be great to furnish the theft of the drawings of the "death star" in the form of a spy action movie like "Mission Impossible". When Lucasfilm became the property of Walt Disney, Noll offered the idea to the authorities – and it was approved.

►, in the framework of the SPIN OFOF series, a separate film was planned about the mercenary Bob Fett, however, director Josh Tram was attached to him, quarreled from Walt Disney due to the alteration of his “fantastic four”. It is not surprising that the project was canceled.

The first draft of the Okhoya-Odin script was prepared by Gary Whitta, who worked, for example, over a pair of episodes of the animated series "Star Wars: rebels". He is also known as a game journalist: at one time, Uitta headed PC Gamer (both British and American branches). It turns out that the main character of the tape is called Jin Erso – in the shooter Star Wars: Dark Forces data on the super -armed of the Empire is steamed by the girl Jen Ors. Coincidence? It is unlikely.

Be that as it may, the creation of Witta did not impress the producers. The script sat down to finalize Chris Vaits, director "Golden Compass" And, hmm, "Twilight. Saga. New moon". His option did not suit the studio either. It was at the beginning of 2015, a few days remained before the filming, so Walt Disney hired Christopher McCorry, a brilliant author (Oscar for "Suspicious faces" ) and the director ( "Mission is impossible: tribe of outcasts" ). McCurri is not mentioned in the credits, but his composition was the leadership of Disney, and Gareth Edwards finally was able to clear the cameras with a calm soul. The name "Outho-one", by the way, was approved only in March 2015.

► It was assumed that the music for the “Ogoga-one” will be composed by Alexander Depop (Oscar for "Hotel" Grand Budapest " ), but he terminated the contract when it became known about the collection. It was replaced by Michael Jakkino ( "Zeropolis" ).

Credo suicides

In the center of the story “Okhoya-Odin”, as already mentioned, Gene Erso (Feliciti Jones), the daughter of engineer Galen (MadS Mikkelsen), who headed work on the “death star”. In the script of Chris Vaits, by the way, Mother Jin was a Jedi, but in the end the producers refused the services of knights in this film. The Imperials dragged Gallen by force on the galactic construction, and his daughter was raised by a native terrorist and veteran of the wars of clones with Herrer (Forest Writer). Years later, Galen through the pilot-reverieus handed the alliance a message that he deliberately made the station a little vulnerable. Jin and other daredevils from resistance went to check the information.

Edwards in the peak of a cheerful “awakening of power” made almost a military drama with an extremely serious face from the “Ogoye-Odo”. The bosses did not like such an experiment – insiders broadcast that the branch contrasts greatly with the "new hope". A fresh look or even a complete revision of the picture was required, with which there would be a feeling of an universal adventure (read: it would be easier to sell related goods). And in June 2016, the film went to shoot. The process was led by Tony Gilra, who had a similar feint with "Identification of Bourn". Gilra was final installation with Edwards.

► there were rumors that Olden Erenraik would appear in the “Izogo-Odo” in the image of Khan Solo (the actor would play a smuggler in the appropriate branch). Alas, the “Millennium Falcon” this time flew past an adventurous story.

Dubious solutions

According to the rental version of the “Ogoye-Odo”, it is difficult to understand what kind of contribution to Gilra and for which he was discharged for five million dollars. The film looks whole and very gloomy-exactly like on the first art and in a debut trailer. There was no place for a love line in it, and only the ruff of the K-2SO ruble robot was blocked for humor (it was voiced by Alan Tudik, who was known to the majority of the series "Firefly" ), with sin in half, reprogrammed by the rebels.

The script, despite multiple edits and other prostheses, does not reveal the characters of the main characters. One can only guess what moved hot heads that went to a suicidal mission. In fact, not only self -sacrifice?

► The name of the picture has many meanings. Among other things, it refers to the callsigns of Skywalker Luke during the battle on the one from the film "The Empire is responding to a response".

There are no branded yellow letters that are taking place into space at the beginning of the “outcast-one”, and the composer’s chair is not at all John Williams, to whom everyone is accustomed. Special mention is deserved by computer reincarnation of Governor Tarkin (Peter Cushing, who played the character in the “New Hope”, died in 1994) and young Leia organs.

If anyone remembers, Ridley Scott when creating "Gladiator" I went to a similar focus. Oliver Reed, who played the owner of the school of gladiators proximo, died before the end of the filming, and a tidy sum of his image in the frame went to imitate his image. In short, digital understudy is not news for a long time in the world of big cinema. In the spin-off of Star Wars, Tarkin was embodied by the Briton Gai Henry, a little similar to Kushing, and then the masters of special effects took up the job. But, by golly, Oliver Reed in the "Gladiator" seems more alive than casing in "Izo-Odin"! Instantly catches your eye (especially on close -ups or next to other characters) that we have nothing more than a copy. The same applies to the Princess Leah.

► In the “Awakening of Power”, the masters of the eastern martial arts Iko Waysu and Yayan Rukyan got very tiny roles. But the creators of the "Okhoya-Odin" gave the fullest to turn around their competitor, Donnie Jenu.

But all dubious decisions partially blocks another. Firstly, the grandiose appearance of Darth Vader, again voiced by James Erl Jones,-the Sith is involved in the most dynamic scene of the traction militant when the drawings of the station are transferred from hand to hand. Secondly, during the attack of the Alliance, archival personnel are used that have not got into "new hope". And finally, unusual for Walt Disney Final. Get ready – spoiler! – a squad of suicides landing on the Scarifal. It is interesting that in the early versions of the script, some of the heroes still survived, but the studio insisted that the point should be placed extremely fat and specifically.

► palm trees, transparent water and resort sand before in Star Wars did not meet. Types of the Scarif make Edwards tape a little less oppressive.

George Lucas "Outho-one" liked. And this is after not the most pleasant words addressed to the “awakening of force” and the disagreement with Walt Disney-the studio refused to use his drafts regarding the trilogy-sycelle, deciding to do with her own ideas. The praise of the creator of Star Wars is the best advertisement to the new film. Fees at the box office were already exceeded for a billion dollars – and this is an order of magnitude more than that "Clone attacks" And "The revenge of the Sith".
