Recently, there has been a lot of news about Renly's next work, such as "Alien Battlefield", "Dark Shadow", "Fast and Furious" and other works; The pre-promotion and the release of "Crazy Love" are in full swing, and Renly has become the busiest actor in this fall.

In fact, these news are half true and half false, all of which are smoke bombs. In fact, Renly has been in full swing auditioning for Edge of Tomorrow, even as the "Love Crazy" publicity is busy.

The second audition took place in Pittsburgh, where Renly did not see Lucinda Sison. The audition was for producer Tim Lewis, and the audition took place at a coffee shop. The two sat down, had a face-to-face conversation, and exchanged their thoughts on the "Edge of Tomorrow" script.

Tim is sixty years old this year, but he is still in high spirits and high spirits.

Generally speaking, Hollywood producers can be divided into three types. One has countless projects in hand, and is busy from beginning to end throughout the year. Steven Spielberg and Neil H Moretz belong to In this category; one is a clear goal, aiming at the awards season, and the works produced are always dominated by independent films, the Weinstein Brothers are a typical representative; the other is to keep improving, and it may take two or three years to work on a project. , but every project put all his energy into it, James Cameron is like that.

Tim is the last one, and he only has the Edge of Tomorrow project in his hands right now, and he drives the project wholeheartedly, which means he can focus all his energy, which is a good thing. However, judging from the current development situation, the progress of the project is not satisfactory. Not just the wishes of Warner Bros., but Tim's own execution as well.

Throughout the audition process, the conversation was relaxed and pleasant. But the conversation about the "Edge of Tomorrow" script lasted only a short while before Tim started chatting with Renly about Steven Spielberg.

Tim is an assistant director who has been in the industry for nearly two decades and has made nineteen films. He worked with Harrison Ford on "Patriot Games" and with Meryl Streep" "Golden Giants", also collaborated with Pierce-Brosnan on "Golden Eyes of 007", but the most memorable one is still his first work, Steven's "Empire of the Sun".

Until now, Tim and Steven still talk on the phone occasionally - after all, there are only a few old guys who have been rolling in the industry for 30 years. Tim and Renly share a lot of fun and have a great conversation.

The whole audition took nearly an hour, but the real discussion about Edge of Tomorrow was less than fifteen minutes, maybe even less than ten minutes. Dealing with such an occasion was a piece of cake for Renly; the problem was that he wasn't sure how much progress the audition had made.

The third audition took place in Los Angeles. The entire audition was very formal. The venue was in the Burbank shooting base. It was a well-ordered small room. The cameras, visors, scripts, etc. were all in place, even more comprehensive than the first audition.

A total of seven actors participated in the audition, including Renly, all of them were familiar faces. Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, Charlie Hunnam, aaron-taylor-johnson, chris-penn, toardy ).

Just from the audition lineup, it can be seen that the "Edge of Tomorrow" project has finally made some progress, the selection of actors has initially taken a direction, and the audition is on the right track. However, things obviously did not go as smoothly as expected.

After entering the audition room, it was neither Lucinda nor Tim who sat in front of Renly, but a completely unfamiliar face, gregory-jacobs.

Later, Renly asked Andy to find out that Gregory is a very famous producer, and he is also an assistant director, but his status is far higher than that of Tim.

He can be seen behind the "Eleven Arhats" series, "Before Sunrise", "Eros", "Never Compromise", "Drug Network" and other works. He and George Clooney, Brad -Pete and others are very close, especially Steven Soderbergh (steven-sh), the two are best friends.

Gregory is currently working on "Magic Mike" and is very busy. Therefore, Andy speculated that he came to help "Edge of Tomorrow" audition, rather than taking over, it is better to test, just look at the alternate actors, and then look at the potential of the script, and he has not decided whether to join it.

Subsequent auditions also confirmed Andy's idea. After the audition began, Renly was asked to run back and forth in the small room twenty times, then remained out of breath, said a couple of lines, followed by another run back and forth twenty times, briefly asking. A few basic questions and the audition is over.

That's how it ended!

No lines, no performances, no dialogue, not even too much communication, just running back and forth without thinking, Renly went home. This is a completely nonsensical audition!

The fourth audition was over the phone with Edge of Tomorrow writer, derek-kod. It's a name I've never heard of, and it didn't appear on the list of screenwriters for Edge of Tomorrow in the last life. However, this is not surprising, the scripts on the blacklist are just

The first draft, how the final script will go, is not in the hands of the screenwriter, just like "the fantasy drifting of the youth pie".

It could be heard on the phone that Derek had no experience. Renly figured it out in just two sentences, and Derek honestly leaked everything about himself.

He is an amateur screenwriter sponsored by the American Action Film Association, and "Edge of Tomorrow" is only his second work. It was blacklisted, and then Warner Bros. purchased the filming copyright and the original adaptation copyright from the association, and then fully took over.

Simply put, Derek is a complete rookie. During the conversation, Derek handed over the concept and concept of his first work. How does Renly sound like the prototype of the concept of the movie "Fast Pursuit" starring Keanu Reeves. Is it, Derry Is that the screenwriter?

However, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that in the audition of "Edge of Tomorrow", Derek didn't know what to ask or what to communicate. Edge" concept, Derek exclaimed repeatedly on the phone, "It's you, you are the most suitable person. Absolutely! Definitely!"

The fifth audition that followed was finally back to normal. The audition took place in a studio in Seattle. Renly rushed over after the radio publicity was over. He was the only one to audition, but there were four audition judges, and all four were new and unfamiliar faces.

After the four previous tests, Renly knew it by heart, and there was no fuss at all. The audition process finally entered a good state. Renly first performed a "Hamlet"; then he simply learned a sparring move and performed it on the spot; and then exchanged the role of William Cage, Renly published Some of my own opinions; finally, I had a brief confrontation with one of the female producers.

The entire audition lasted nearly forty minutes, and it was Renly's most formal and comprehensive audition to date, even more formal than "War in the Pacific." Although Renly didn't understand what the commercial film "Edge of Tomorrow" had to do with "Hamlet", the whole audition process, acting, movement, image, and manners were all tested, and the whole process had to be highly concentrated.

Before "Edge of Tomorrow", Renly was mentally prepared. The casting process for Hollywood's top commercial films is very complicated, and four or five rounds of auditions are normal. Even the top big-name stars are no exception, but the real tedious and lengthy is beyond imagination.

For the first time, Renly realized that he was auditioning for the lead actor in a top commercial blockbuster. It is not the third protagonist of a commercial blockbuster like "Fast and Furious 5", nor the male protagonist of a small-budget comedy like "I'm Anti-Cancer", but a super blockbuster with a giant crocodile-level investment and scale. Of course, the blockbuster is second, and the main character is the leading man—after all, Warner Bros. is still budgeting $100 million for Edge of Tomorrow.

For the sixth audition, Renly returned to New York. The audition was small, but not small. In addition to him, three other actors participated in the audition, all of them "new" faces. Not new for rookies, but new for the third audition: Andrew Garfield, Jererenner and Channing Tatum.

Rather than saying that all the actors who auditioned before have been eliminated, Renly believes that it is just the result of the difference in the audition location. The "Edge of Tomorrow" crew should be in full swing to audition for more actors. This is a positive signal for project preparation.

However, the cast of the two auditions spanned quite a lot, in terms of age, style, and appearance. I don't know if it's because the main creators haven't decided on the concept, or the lineup of the main creators hasn't been decided at all.

Interestingly, the auditioners finally saw familiar faces — Lucinda reappeared, and so did screenwriter Derek. In the six auditions, the unfamiliar faces were finally no longer, which made Renly tease, "It seems that there are not as many Hollywood staff as they imagined."

This lighthearted atmosphere continued throughout the audition process. Renly just sat in a chair and chatted with the five interviewers in front of him. Real small talk, talking about the fun facts of the recent period, talking about the viewing details of "Crazy Love", talking about the comedy performances in "The Tonight Show" and "I'm Fighting Cancer"...

The conversation for about 20 minutes ended just like that.

Originally, Renly thought six auditions were all, but it wasn't. Today, Renly will audition for the seventh time in just four weeks; and the audition will take place at a private party in Beverly Hills.

"Renly, here." A black sports car stopped on the side of the road, and Renly's driver arrived.
