Behind-the-scenes highlights of hatchet 2

Obviously, adam green's busyness is obvious to all, but he also reserves the right to choose and the unpredictability of the future. Almost immediately after he finished Frozen, he threw himself into a new battle at a speed that others could not imagine. He chose to make hatchet 2, and once again built an excellent story system around the killer Victor Korol ... Making a sequel not only means progress, but may even represent a retrogression, but Green obviously doesn't feel too upset, because he knows that his future has been guaranteed to the greatest extent. In fact, if you think back to the scene when the hatchet was released, the slogan at that time was "no remake, no sequel", but now Green is returning to the field of horror movies with a sequel, which can't be said to be a little self-deprecating. He admitted: "In fact, everyone misunderstood. The reason why we chose this sentence as a slogan was completely intercepted from the evaluation of my original script by a major film company at that time. I still remember clearly the reason why they refused me. This story is excellent, the writing is very talented, and it contains great entertainment, but we can't do this movie trend and trend now, because it is not a remake, sequel or remake of Japanese movies.' At that time, if your script was a horror story rather than a sequel, it was really an extremely difficult attempt to put it on the big screen. But at the same time, before the first film was shot, we were actually planning a sequel. The stories of the first episode and the second episode are highly related and echo each other from afar-everything is arranged. I think this is one of the reasons why hatchet 2 is very special to me, because it's not just about what Victor will do when he comes back. How many people were killed? In what cruel way? We made a sequel to make a movie. It's a pity that we have to change actors except Mary Beth. I think this timing is perfect. If you are an excellent villain, you have the possibility to develop a film series, and naturally you can derive several great ideas or concepts-I want to say that the sequel appears because someone really needs it. "

Adam green put up that slogan on the occasion of the release of "Axe with a Short Handle", just to appeal to the fans of horror movies to support originality more, and not to be tempted by the title of "remake" or "remake" all the time and lose their basic judgment. Green said, "in fact, this kind of thing really can't blame the fans." I think this kind of work can achieve good box office results once it is released. All because their names have been recognized by most audiences. Even if the content is lackluster and nothing new, they can still take the lead in the market operation ... but I never expected that our film would gain any explosive advantage at the box office. After all, the initial choice of this "hatchet 2" is to limit the release, which means that it can only be seen in a specific 80 theaters, and the range of choices is too narrow. I remember when the first movie was still on tour. After the story was finished, I went to the front desk and asked the audience,' What do you think of the remake?' The result was a boo. Then I asked them in another way,' Well, which one of you went to see The Mountain has Eyes II?' As a result, everyone raised their hands From then on, I suddenly felt great emotion, because I discovered the fact that everyone loves to complain, but they won't take any action for it-after all, what we are doing is a very small horror movie, which is not mainstream, but very popular. Because we all heard the voices of the fans of the first film, they thought it was a film work made for them, and I felt very grateful and lucky. As far as such a horror film is concerned, it can finally have a sequel, which is inseparable from the enthusiasm and support of these loyal supporters, because we all have an unquestionable crazy love for cult movies.

Confessions of a homicidal maniac

In the first hatchet, although the story related to the killer Victor has been explained in detail, there are still many unsolved mysteries waiting to be discovered in this evil character, which is another reason for the sequel. Adam green, the screenwriter and director, explained: "I personally don't have that big ambition, and I don't want to create a so-called brand effect through a sequel. We just want to tell a complete good story in such a horrible environment ... in fact, we have never made it clear why the role of Victor came and who he is. Why did this happen? If the first episode is a tribute to this murderous horror movie, then in the sequel, it is time for Victor to fully serve the story itself. When Tomahawk 2 ends, you will never have any doubt about the origin of this character. This may not be what everyone expected, but we are trying to create such a unique negative effect. In addition, when the story develops into a new chapter, the film technology we can use has also been greatly improved and improved, and the number of bodies in the film will be more than three times that of the original. For us, this scale is quite shocking. Usually, this kind of sequel just repeats everything that has been done before, and as a result, the foothold becomes weaker and weaker, and finally there is nothing. But our sequel is completely different and much more complicated than the first one-I think after watching the movie, we may get more fans' support, or we may lose some former supporters, who may prefer the simplicity of the original, so this is really a very difficult choice. "

Obviously, this is a headache choice. As far as a killer movie is concerned, either it simply shows killing and creates pure visual stimulation; Or try to tell a story and deeply analyze why all this happened. Adam green said: "Not only for horror movies, but also for fans. They are now divided into two extreme camps. Some of them are tired of too profound roles ... For the first movie, many people like interesting and smooth story-telling mode, but some people don't buy this simple and straightforward pleasure. However, I always hope to have the opportunity to adjust myself, sit down and tell a story seriously, not just dazzling special effects-hatchet 2 contains everything I once dreamed of. Before 15 to 20 minutes, 6 people died, followed by 1 1 person.

Many people are wondering why the heroine of Mary Beth has become danielle harris this time, instead of the original tamara feldman, but the fact is far from as complicated as you think. Adam green said, "I know everyone wants to hear some so-called' revelations' from me. It's a pity that some people will be disappointed ... after all, it's been years. When I found Fieldman, she was in a very delicate position, which forced her to make a wise choice. We have been talking about all kinds of possibilities, but before I reached the real knowledge of * * *, my thoughts suddenly changed a lot, especially when I was filming "Frozen", and I had come to a completely different conclusion.

For kane hodder who plays Victor in the film, Axe 2 undoubtedly represents a more challenging performance attempt. Adam green said, "I like to create problems for hoddle, and then watch him solve them with his own potential ... In the first episode, we finished many dramatic scenes together, and then he told me that this movie completely changed his career direction. He is no longer a stuntman hiding behind a mask-even if it is only some very small works, he can now take his own side in them. By the time of the sequel, there were some unprecedented flashbacks. We can see not only the moment Victor was born, but also how he was conceived. In fact, when hoddle first read the script, the first thing he said to me was, "Are you serious?" After getting my affirmative answer, he asked me again,' What are you going to let me do next?' In fact, what I like most about hoddle is that as an actor, he is willing to accept any degree of challenge and then do something that people have never seen him do. "

Although Kane Holder is 55 years old, he still looks like a curious student. After all, it was almost before the age of 50 that he finally had the opportunity to do what he really liked. Adam green said, "For each of us, especially in the horror film industry, hoddle is an amazing existence ... Basically, he really got some job opportunities he wanted from the age of 50. He likes stunts and likes to show what he is best at in front of the camera-obviously, the role of Jason may be the greatest achievement in his life, but until now, what he has done is what he really wants, and I feel very lucky to see it happen with my own eyes.
