adaptation

Based on classic arcade games of the last century

The film is based on the 1980s arcade game "Rampage", giant gorillas, giant wolfs, and giant crocodile are three game characters that can be selected by players in the game. They engage in destruction in the skyscraper city and also confront the human army. The story is used as a template to copy the three game characters and locate the city background in Chicago, telling Johnson's primate zoologists to raise the silverback gorilla George who grew up and genetic mutation due to accidental radiation. It broke the city together with the giant crocodile that was also affected by the mutation, and Davis stepped forward to rescue the city with the human army. Talking about choosing an arcade game for adaptation, Payton said that the movie expands on a single story line. In addition to the decisive battle between humans and monsters, there are also humans and monsters. Producer Beaver Flynn said: “We all have feelings about the game. There are no difficulties in adapting it. We can also use a lot of creativity. There are no restrictions and no rules, giving us an unprecedentedly large space for production and imagination.”

Before shooting the film, Johnson said he wanted to break through the many barriers of monster movies. “There used to be a lot of monster movies that impressed the audience. Both King Kong and Gojira are now more advanced film technology, but I don't think that monsters should be recognized by the audience just because they are bigger and more frightened. The viewers should not only confront humans and giant monsters in their eyes, but they should also see the emotional entanglements between monsters and humans."

Making

95% of action effects occur during the day

For a monster disaster film, the main theme is visual effects. The visual effects of Revenge Behemoth are led by Visual Effects Directors Brothers Strause ("San Andreas", " X-Men: Apocalypse ") and Vita Digital Visual Effects. (The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Rise of the Vampire Ball: The Battle of Dawn", etc.) was jointly built, and the party side invested heavily in the construction of a large-scale platform for the C-17 military transport aircraft, which restored a 30,000-foot high altitude melee.

Unlike other monsters, 95% of Revenge Behemoth's action scenes were completed during the day. Payton said that he had never seen so many monsters in the daytime scene. The previous monsters’ stories don’t happen in the night or in the rain. Here, the black light and background can simplify many special effects costs. This time, more and more sophisticated special effects technology will be used to allow the audience to clearly see the monsters that are completely visible.

Johnson introduced the most advanced motion capture technology in the film. Jason Leyers, an orangutan-like actor, spent an entire year researching orangutans specifically, including their behaviors, emotions, how to walk, and how to sit down. How to observe the surrounding environment, etc. "Whenever the actor is in front of me, my emotional expression is easier."

The Beijing News: The Dr. You played in the film was shocked by Johnson's not being able to fly a plane. The line “OH MY GOD” was also very shocking. Can you recall the scenes of the filming?

Naomie Harris : It took about 8 hours that day and tried many times. Payton was really amazing. He must make you try to be satisfied. It would be worthwhile to spend a lot of energy to say a good word. This role is a very big challenge to me. Because I didn't do a green screen before, this is a very professional job. There's nothing around you. It's 7 balls. The second ball is the house. The fifth ball is the monster. In the beginning, I felt like I was silly at the beginning, but Johnson was very good. He would take the time to teach me how to imagine how to invest. It was a master in this area. Gradually I knew how to shoot.

The Beijing News: Today, it is said that you “take all” of the Sixth National Congress, and that the film is constantly on the list. Is there something else to prepare for the president?

Dashideng Johnson: I hope to make arrangements as best as possible, but I firmly believe that if you are lucky, have a good career, and be able to participate in the movies you really like, you should invest and do it. I like to take a film career, so I like to set aside time to do, and I do not leave.

Beijing News: In recent years, you starred in a lot of action special effects, and the tough guys playing more and more humor, in the "Revenge Behemoth" is even more fun and first-rate?

Dashidun: I really liked the funny movie about tough guys. There are very big behemoths in this movie, and the scenes of destruction are huge. We can't keep the audience "impressed." I hope to find a sense of balance among them. Give the audience a release in tension, and then go to meet more large-scale action scenes.
