Ghost in the Shell: Rupert Sanders, “It was necessary to find the simplest way to enter this universe”

sivertime — Sat, 01 Apr 2017 17:57:43 +0000

After the casting of Ghost in the Shell, it is the turn of director Rupert Sanders to confide exclusively on the direction of the film!
After a gestation of almost ten years and many changes – both in terms of screenwriters, directors and plot – the live adaptation of Ghost in the Shell and its visually surprising cyberpunk universe have finally landed on our screens. So as to say that this amazing film, which resembles no other, will have taken its time before reaching us. In the end, if it finally arrived in our dark rooms, it is thanks to its director Rupert Sanders ( Blanche Neige and the Hunter ), absolute fan of the universe of Ghost in the Shell . Melty also spoke with the director on the occasion of his visit to Paris in order to learn more about the behind-the-scenes of the film’s production. And what to know, Is that Rupert Sanders arrived on the project only very late , after being contacted by Steven Spielberg himself, who held the rights of adaptation. ” I joined the project when Steven Spielberg contacted me and asked me if I liked Ghost in the Shell, and I told him I was an unconditional fan. Asked me: ‘How would you do it?’ So I started to create a graphic novel inspired by the images and ideas that touched me most and I wrote the story of the film as I conceived it I brought him the graphic novel and he really liked my ideas and entrusted me with the film . ” Which held the rights of adaptation. ” I joined the project when Steven Spielberg contacted me and asked me if I liked Ghost in the Shell, and I told him I was an unconditional fan. Asked me: ‘How would you do it?’ So I started to create a graphic novel inspired by the images and ideas that touched me most and I wrote the story of the film as I conceived it I brought him the graphic novel and he really liked my ideas and entrusted me with the film . ” Which held the rights of adaptation. ” I joined the project when Steven Spielberg contacted me and asked me if I liked Ghost in the Shell, and I told him I was an unconditional fan. Asked me: ‘How would you do it?’ So I started to create a graphic novel inspired by the images and ideas that touched me most and I wrote the story of the film as I conceived it I brought him the graphic novel and he really liked my ideas and entrusted me with the film . ” How would you realize it? . So I started to create a graphic novel inspired by the images and ideas that touched me most and I wrote the story of the film as I conceived it. I brought him the graphic novel and he really liked my ideas and entrusted me with the film . “. How would you realize it? . So I started to create a graphic novel inspired by the images and ideas that touched me most and I wrote the story of the film as I conceived it. I brought him the graphic novel and he really liked my ideas and entrusted me with the film . “.
Then came the search for a very cosmopolitan casting able to incarnate the characters of Ghost in the Shell . For Rupert Sanders soon wanted to describe a city where all ethnicities and cultures would mix. ” I thought that in the future, […] we will live in increasingly cosmopolitan cities, I thought that Hong Kong could serve as a backdrop, and I wanted to have a cast of actors I admired the work in the cinema . ” The director went to meet Scarlett Johansson and Pilou Asbæak but also contacted Juliette Binoche, who told us about her character in Ghost in the Shell , And Takeshi Kitano – all the actors and actresses that had to be convinced to join the project. But for that, Rupert Sanders had a strong argument: his passion ! ” But I think they felt my passion for this universe, they saw the aspect of this world, and they thought it would be a unique opportunity,” he said in our interview. A unique opportunity for a unique film, that’s for sure!
Writing and performing Ghost in the Shell , Rupert Sanders obviously thought of the fans of his universe – of which he is a part – but also to those who know nothing about it. It was necessary not only to make the world and themes of Ghost in the Shell accessible to the neophytes while satisfying the fans. On this difficult balancing act, the director also gives us some details, confessing: ” We had to find the simplest way to enter [this universe]. I think if we had just done the Ghost in the Shell original, people would have been disoriented. We had to find a story that could introduce people to the universe of Ghost in the Shell . Action and spectacle are the two elements which,
And to satisfy the fans, Rupert Sanders of course made fun by including iconic scenes of the original works! ” I really asked myself, ‘As a fan, what would I like to see in the movie?’ “, He says. The head of geisha exploding, the scene in which Major confronts a tank or thermoptic clothing … all these elements are therefore present in Ghost in the Shell , the director specifying: ” I thought that if I went to see the film and I do not see these items, I would be very disappointed. ” . This does not mean that the feature film takes up word-for-word and scene-by-scene original works. Moreover, Mamoru Oshii, The director of the two animated films, supported the project, encouraging Rupert Sanders to make his own adaptation. And here is the advice he received from him: ” He just said to me: ‘Make your own film!’ He wanted me to impose no limits. That he should do something different. “He did not want me to reproduce what he had done .” So what exploring new aspects of Ghost in the Shell and Major, her heroine ! I think he understood that we had to do something different. He did not want me to reproduce what he had done . “So to explore new aspects of Ghost in the Shell and Major, her heroine ! I think he understood that we had to do something different. He did not want me to reproduce what he had done . “So to explore new aspects of Ghost in the Shell and Major, her heroine !

Ghost in the Shell is also a unique visual identity! Melty tells you how the movie might put your eyes on it.

Game of Thrones season 8: Daenerys, Jon, Tyrion … what will become of them after the war against the White Walkers?

sivertime — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 19:36:06 +0000

The summer has not yet arrived and we have time to wonder what awaits us in the sequel of Game of Thrones.
The season 7 of Game of Thrones is not even broadcast that you already listed the characters we want to see die before the end of the series . But today we are not going to talk to you about possible deaths in the future. We are interested in the future of the series and its characters once what is expected from the very beginning will have arrived. “Winter is Coming”, we have been warned for a long time already that the winter arrives and that a catastrophe will fall on Westeros. This major event of the plot will obviously be the highlight that will serve to bring together many characters to fight together. But then ? Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister … almost everyone will probably end up fighting against the White Walkers to prevent them from invading Westeros but what will happen when they have won – or lost? Even if the books may not go so far, that does not stop us from thinking about it.
We must first define the two situations on which the war against the White Walkers could end. If our favorite heroes lose, it is very likely that they are killed by their enemies, or even resurrected in turns into icy zombies. Unless they die immediately and try to hide and regroup to form a new plan of attack. In any case, the future looks bleak and many characters are likely to die, especially if an icy winter settles across the continent and makes survival even more complicated. The other scenario is a bit more friendly: what would happen if Daenerys, Jon and the other won the war against the White Walkers later in Game of Thrones ? One continues to speculate by wondering if Jon would not convince Dany to dismantle the Iron Throner to establish a more just reign on the 7 Kingdoms.
Even if Daenerys seems very attached to the Throne – and especially to recover it – one suspects that the young woman could be easily reasoned by the one who could well be his ally in the next season. It must be said that she always had a weakness for justice and for equality and the suppression of the Iron Throne would be beneficial to everyone. Many wars were fought in its name and the return of White Walkers proves that power should not be the primary concern of the inhabitants of Westeros and especially some who seem to be obsessed with this oh so uncomfortable seat . It is also possible that after winning, Daenerys proclaims himself Queen and tries to do his best to restore order with the help of his dragons and his faithful hand, Tyrion. Whatever the possibilities are numerous and we will let you share your speculations in the comments below. Meanwhile the rest of the series was offered 3 intrigues to explain the unexpected return of a character in season 7 of Game of Thrones . And you what do you think ?

Kong – Skull Island: His universe and that of Godzilla finally has a name

sivertime — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 19:07:38 +0000

In Kong – Skull Island, the giant could cross the path of the Japanese monster Godzilla … But what name will bear the universe of the two colossi?
By proposing a new version of the legend of King Kong, the Warner has a very precise idea behind the head. The idea is to meet the giant monster Godzilla and Japanese to create a titanic clash cinema . And while Gareth Edwards (to whom we owe Star Wars Rogue One, including a scene with Darth Vader was almost not be in the film ) introduced Godzilla in 2014, Jordan Vogt-Roberts will deal with King Kong in March next. The opportunity to create a universe where will evolve the two monsters and give it a name to the image of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (for example). The cleverest were able to find out how to call it by checking out the toys Kong Skull Island .
A rather simple name to remember: the MonsterVerse . Mean by that the world of monsters . The question is whether Warner plans to introduce a new giant or will be limited solely to King Kong and Godzilla. But our little finger tells us that if Kong Skull Island, including three new posters with a towering Kong were unveiled , is a success, the two giants will not remain alone for long . This decision to create a universe is proof that the studios are trying to develop a mythology around two strong figures of Western and Japanese cinema. Figures that for decades have been passionate about generations of children and adults. What do you think ?

Dragon Ball Super: The Top 5 of the Best Fights of 2016!

sivertime — Wed, 28 Dec 2016 20:15:25 +0000

During this year, Dragon Ball Super offered us quite a bit of epic fighting, between the tournament of the gods and the arc Trunks. Here is our ranking of the finest fights of 2016!
Vegeta vs Kyabe
In fifth place, there is a match of the Gods tournament that looked more like a training than a real match. Vegeta finds himself facing a young Saiyan from Universe 6 named Kyabe. At the beginning of the confrontation, the young boy proves his potential by playing the same game with Vegeta without transformation. But one quickly discovers that he does not even master the Super Saiyan. So Vegeta dons the role of mentor, and becomes aggressive and violent with him to push it to turn . One would think to find Piccolo with the young Gohan, who used the same method. And then see Vegeta inculcate in Kyabe the pride of the Saiyan people, we adore!
Black vs Goku
An interesting fight, and the first real confrontation of the arc Trunks. While Trunks has managed to flee his world to seek help in the present, Black Goku finds himself unwittingly in our time because of a distortion of time. A godsend for Goku to face his double. No big transformation, if not the Super Saiyan of Goku. One discovers especially the faculties of Black, which improves as it fights the saiyan. Black is finally forced to return to the future of Trunks, cutting short in combat. We will obviously find the two men later, with even more intensity in their confrontations.
Trunks vs. Black / Zamasu
During the Trunks arc, there were doubts about Trunks’ ability to resist the overpowering powers of Zamasu, who mastered only the Super Saiyan 2 to the maximum. But after being provoked by Black and Zamasu who accused him of being responsible for their absolute justice, Trunks unleashed himself and unveiled an unprecedented transformation. A sort of Super Legendary Super Saiyan (Broly style) with divine ki. With that, the son of Vegeta is on a par with Black and Zamasu, and it allows especially Goku and Vegeta to escape to the present to find a solution to overcome the two men . He will reuse this form later to complete Zamasu after launching a Genkidama.
Goku vs Hit
The second place returns to the final of the tournament of the Gods, although we hesitated to put it in number 1. The duel expected between Goku and the assassin of the universe 6 Hit finally arrives, and it does not disappoint anyone! Hit has just put Vegeta carpet very easily thanks to his technique of stop time. Goku understands the trick, and he piques the interest of the impassive Hit. There follows an evolutionary fight in which Hit manages to improve his technique, while Goku exceeds his limits by reaching the superpower Kaioken x10 in Super Saiyan Blue mode, with an enormous Kaméhaméha of the families in conclusion. Very heavy!
Vegetto vs Zamasu ultimate
In the first place of the top, it was necessary to fight between the two most powerful warriors that exist, except Gods of Destruction and Angels. Zamasu and Black have merged thanks to their potalas to create an invincible supreme being. Faced with this, Goku and Vegeta were soon forced to imitate them to become Vegetto again. An ultimate fusion that dominates the Super Saiyan Blue. Inevitably, the fight is dantesque, and Vegetto galley more in this fight than against Boo. But while Zamasu is gradually transformed into a creature because of its fusion, that of Vegetto ends! It is finally Trunks that will finish work at the end of the Trunks arc. And before the arrival of the new history, discover the trailer of episode 73 of Dragon Ball Gohan Super Superstar!

While the next arc of Super Dragon Ball has been officially announced, a first explosive poster has just been unveiled to announce the team that will defend the universe 7 during the inter-universe tournament!

Frankly, more difficult to cool. So let’s talk about some of this team. The Warriors are 10 in number, suggesting that as many as 120 fighters participate in the tournament! If logically include 4 of the 5 members of the team in the first Beerus tournament against the world 6 (Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and Boo), we have the pleasure of seeing Krillin, his wife C-18, Tien Shinhan and even Roshi. But then where hype up a notch, it is with the return of C-17, the brother of C-18, especially Gohan! The young man left behind his green tracksuit to resume combat gear, and we love it. When the cyborg, it is clearly a surprise to find him there, although when thought about, his power makes it a logical participant in the tournament. The wait promises to be very difficult to start the arc, but in the meantime we will discover the murder of Goku in episode 71 of Dragon Ball Super.
