Behind the scenes production

Build a bat chariot

Nathan Coeroli, the graphic designer of the film, built a studio in director Christopher Nolan's garage to complete the design and production of the main elements of the film, and the bat chariot was the first to bear the brunt. Nolan and screenwriter David Goyer are writing a script in the room, and at the same time, they are studying the idea of Bat Chariot with Korol.

Korol said, "I have never started to conceive a work before a movie has finished its script. We even set up a small machinery shop and started making car models with everything we could find. Nolan will come to the garage to give advice between writing. In eight weeks, we completed five or six versions of the bat chariot. "

In the previous Batman movies, the Bat Chariot kept pace with the times, and its propaganda reached the extreme. The bat chariot in this film is a hybrid of Lamborghini and Hummer, which combines the exquisiteness and agility of sports cars with the grandeur of chariots.

In the story, the Bat Chariot is actually the prototype of a military vehicle named "Tumbler", which was developed by Wayne Company and used to load people and equipment across trenches to facilitate traffic in open areas. However, Wayne Company failed to put into production on a large scale because of its high price. Instead, it was discovered by Batman and developed into a tool to safeguard justice.

Korol and Nolan brought the complete three-dimensional plastic model car to Andrew J. Smith, the director of the special effects studio. In six months, Smith and his team completed five bat chariots according to different prototypes. Nolan later said: "I never expected them to make bat chariots with all kinds of ideas, but they did." This is a monster and a beast. " According to the convention of prop cars, the plastic shell is assembled outside the existing body, but the bat chariot in this film is real from the wheels, chassis to the body.

Bat chariot is equipped with a 5.7-liter 340-horsepower engine, which can output 400 pounds of torque. Its body is 9 feet 4 inches wide, 65,438+05 feet long and weighs 2.5 tons. It can accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in five seconds, and it can also complete long-distance jumping. The most unique feature of Bat Fighting Vehicle is that it has no front axle, but supports the wheels through the side of the body. The technician increased the size of the rear wheel and arranged the engine and gearbox nearby. Bat chariots even have insect-like waists, and the body will be distorted when the horsepower is increased.

In addition, the bat chariot is equipped with six truck tires. In order to achieve the designed sideslip effect, tires with different wear degrees are used in different scenes, and the tire pressure should be adjusted accordingly.

A total of eight bat chariots were used in the film, five of which were fully equipped. The electronic version of/kloc-0 was equipped with a movable roof for easy access, and two of them had no engines, and their weight was reduced because they were ejected in special action scenes.

on location

The film started shooting in March 2004 and was completed in September. During 129 working days, the crew went to Iceland, Chicago and London for live shooting, and also filmed in the famous Sherburton Film Studio in Britain and the huge Cardington Studio converted from a hangar.

Usually, while the director is focusing on the main content, another film crew will be responsible for shooting action shots and auxiliary shots. Nolan, the director of this film, doesn't want to "do two things at once", but shoots step by step and in detail, thus ensuring that his conception of the film can be carried out from beginning to end. In order to highlight the realistic style of the film in all aspects, Nolan led the crew to combine field shooting, studio setting, real-life models and a small amount of computer animation to create the magical world of Batman.

The Watnayukur Glacier in southeastern Iceland was the first location chosen by the film crew. Watnayukur Glacier is the largest glacier in Europe, accounting for one tenth of Iceland's territory. The rugged terrain is very suitable for the scenes in the film with the harsh environment of the Himalayas as the story background. Since Iceland has only one two-lane highway running through the country, the film crew had to build their own roads to reach the frozen lakes, villages and monasteries.

Gotham is an important place where movie stories take place. Chicago is not only used as a blueprint for Gotham, but also used to shoot many exterior scenes of this fictional city, including a spectacular car chase scene, in which a bat chariot flies along a well-designed route like a rocket and crashes into a chasing police car. This car chase shot was mainly shot on Lower Wacker Avenue in the south of Chicago, which received unprecedented support from Chicago. In order to shoot the crazy car chase scene, several blocks in the city were temporarily closed. Some particularly tricky parts of the car chase scene used scenery shooting, and a roof model was built according to the proportion of one third. When the tiles are crushed by cars, the effect is almost false.

Cardington Studio, a former hangar in north London, built a large model of Gotham's appearance. The huge hangar No.2 in Cardington is 8 12 feet long and 180 feet high. The shed area is equivalent to 16 Olympic swimming pools, which can accommodate 8338 London double-decker buses, which is beyond the reach of ordinary cinemas.

Most of the interior and exterior scenes of Wayne Manor were shot at the Montemor Tower in England. This property was built by the Rothschild family in the 1950s, 19, located in the north of London, about an hour and a half by car. It was under this manor that young Bruce Wayne discovered a huge cave with countless bats and spectacular waterfalls.

"The old bat cave was very delicate and unreal," Nolan said. "In this movie, our bat cave is a wet and messy cave full of bats, and we will see Bruce Wayne build his own bat cave."

The Bat Cave set was built in the studio of Hiberton. It is about 250 feet long, 65,438+020 feet wide and 40 feet high. It uses 24 pumps, and 65,438+02,000 gallons of water flow through the scenery every minute, thus forming waterfalls, streams and wet cave walls.

Visual effects directors Dan Glass and Janek Searles led the team to create most bats living in caves with CG. "At present, the means of training bats are still very limited, and it is difficult to make so many bats act according to people's will, so we have made a large number of digital bats," he said. "In the shooting, we used the bat specimen on the bracket as a reference, and then made a digital bat community by using the space and lighting effect of that bat image."

In the film, Batman can be seen flying over Gotham in his high-tech cloak. This shot is not from visual effects, but is done in the studio without any green screen technology. The flying action is completed with a wire and a real camera. The crew hung the camera on the wire and let Batman slide 800 feet in the studio.

titbits

In a car chase scene in the film, the crew used more than 30 stunt drivers.

In order to shoot the high-speed bat fighting vehicle, the crew used the brand-new Mercedes-Benz ML camera vehicle modified by AMG, and used the advanced remote control manipulator to shoot the scene of chasing the vehicle without slowing down the speed of the bat fighting vehicle.

In the film, the actual speed of bat chariots often reaches 105 mph, and even helicopters sometimes can't catch up.

The costume designer of this film is Lindy Hemming, who has starred in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Tomb Raider. The bat suit she designed is not only made according to kristen bell's figure, but also has many functions such as waterproof and heat insulation, and the bat suit is made in a 24-hour security workshop.

The storm in the film was not generated by CG, but a real wind with a speed of 75 miles per hour, and some crew members were even blown down.

The fighting scene in the film is not made of hanging wire, because the director thinks this kind of fighting is too beautiful and lacks real threat and tension. David Foreman, the action director of The Last Samurai, used KFM's combat mode (Case Combat Method) in this film. KFM appeared 20 years ago, requiring strong leg and trunk strength and emphasizing the concentration of spirit and will.

Kristen bell, who plays Batman, trained for half a year before filming. Not only did he regain the weight he had lost by starring in Machinist, but he also gained 20 pounds.

Before Christopher Nolan directed the film, darren aronofsky had planned to make a Batman movie and hired Frank Miller to adapt his comic novel Batman: Year One into a screenplay. In 2003, the first draft of the script and storyboard was completed, and the ownership belongs to AOL time warner Inc. ... However, it is not clear whether Warner will make this film, but the plot in the script was partially leaked. Alfred became an African-American technician, while the Bat Chariot was a Lincoln City car with increased horsepower, and Bruce Wayne was even homeless.

Ashton kutcher, david boreanaz and hugh dancy are all candidates to play Batman.

Marilyn Manson was considered to play Dr. Klein.

In the film, the cost of the Bat Chariot is as high as 1 0.5 million pounds, and 1 gallon of gasoline is only enough to run1mile.

Many of Batman's equipment comes from military technology.

Kristen bell insisted on using an American accent in this film.

Kristen bell auditioned for Batman Forever from 65438 to 0995 and was chosen to play Robin.

Arnold Schwarzenegger visited the studio during filming.

Chris Cooper refused to play the role of Gordon. Kurt Russell and Dennis Quaid are both candidates to play Gordon.

The title of the film was changed from Batman 5, Batman: Scary, and The Game of Threatening to the final Batman Prequel.

Anthony Hopkins was invited to play Alfred, but he declined.

Laurence fishburne was chosen to play Fox.

During filming in the streets of Chicago, a drunk bumped into a bat chariot and said he saw an alien spaceship.

Before the shooting, the director organized the whole cast to watch "blade runner" on 1982 as models.

Katie holmes's Rachel is not the original character.

This film is the first Batman film shot with a screen ratio of 2.35: 1.

The sunshine outside Wayne Manor comes from a 654.38+ million-watt floodlight.

During the film's release, Forbes magazine estimated the cost of becoming Batman in detail, and the result was about $3.5 million.

The film broke the box office record in the first week of IMAX cinema.

When kristen bell and liam neeson were fighting on the ice, there was a sound of breaking the ice. The next day, the ice completely disintegrated.
