Last year, Renly starred in "Interstellar", Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain and other all-star casts became the topic of the moment. In the era of social networking, superstars are hard to come by. There are countless stars, and there are more and more such all-star movie works.
However, considering the script structure, role weight and remuneration figures, it is necessary to think twice about creating an all-star work, otherwise it takes a lot of thought and the rate of return fails to meet expectations, so there is no need for such trouble. After all, Scheduling is also not easy.
Different from mainstream commercial films, "The Lobster" chose an all-star cast for a similar reason to Christopher Nolan, because Oggs needs to devote more energy to the positioning of the style, the scheduling of the shots, the composition of the picture, etc. /Teaching actors was never their strong suit.
In addition, this is the first English work of Oggs. For the first time, he has left the comfort of the Greek market and officially entered the world stage. The all-star lineup is undoubtedly an important weapon to open up the market, just like the original " Memories" is the same as Christopher Nolan.

Of course, now Oggs and Nolan at the time, they are both sharp and sharp directors. It is unrealistic to hire super big names to star in their own works. , A well-known backbone actor, this is undoubtedly the best choice.
Nolan hired Guy Pearce to star in "Memento", and he was just a fledgling and unknown at the time. This work became his stepping stone to open Hollywood. It is still a rare masterpiece, showing Nolan's understanding of the timeline. unique control.
Now Oggs is already a well-known new director in Europe. He has won awards in Cannes and Venice, which also gives him more autonomy in actor selection and more attractiveness, and finally created a film. The All-Star lineup that Ogus was satisfied with.
In addition to Renly, Olivia Coleman and Lea Seydoux were introduced by Tessa Rose, and Oggs personally auditioned and expressed his satisfaction.
In addition, Rachel Weisz, Ben Whishaw, Jessica Barden (Jessi) and John C-Reilly are all actors that Oggs personally negotiated with, which is the creation of Oggs After the script was over, the best choice that came out of meditation perfectly fit Oggs' ideas for the character and his requirements for performance.
Jessica Barden is only twenty-two years old this year, three years younger than Renly, but she has been in the film industry for nearly seven years, even two years before Renly, she starred in Through works such as "Hannah", "Anna", and "Vulgar and Weird Talk", he has shown his somewhat eccentric performance temperament.
She is not the kind of actor who is astonishing and bright, but a little weird, but always has her own unique interpretation of the role, and such actors can always leave an impression in their minds - "It seems very familiar", and later She gained widespread popularity by "Going to the World of His X".
In "The Lobster," she will play "The Girl with a Nosebleed," a quirky and unique character.
Among the younger generation of actors, such a unique temperament is indeed very rare. At least, if Renly Lay is asked to play a similar role, it will be difficult for him to give the character that unique quality. Even imitating it may be difficult to paint the skin. , this is the limitation of Renly's personal conditions.
John-C-Reilly is another case. John, who is 49 years old this year, has been active in the industry for more than 35 years, playing the image of countless "ordinary men", "Chicago", "" He can be seen in works such as "All the Time", "Gangs of New York", "The Aviator" and so on.
In recent years, he has begun to appear in some comedy films one after another, such as "Not Brother", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Ace Announcer" and "Invincible Destruction King", etc., showing his comedy talent.
Although John has always been in supporting roles and rarely gets the chance to star, his ability to control different roles is eye-catching. Beneath the dumb and stupid appearance, he can often reveal delicate emotions and perform lightly. He can always bring a different movie viewing experience, which makes him one of the golden supporting roles in Hollywood, who can search for his figure in countless movies.
Growing up in Chicago, coupled with the chubby image of curly hair, few people notice that John is actually an Irishman—
He can still speak English with a fluent Irish accent, which has become the most important opportunity for Oggs to invite John to play "The Lobster".
Then there's Rachel Weisz, who in "The Lobster" will play "the nearsighted woman," the woman David fell in love with in the woods.
Rachel is the first role that Oggs has decided in the whole work. Even Jason Clarke is an actor who cooperates with Rachel to complete the selection. Later, Colin Farrell is also the same. So - Rachel was born in 1970. In order to make the hero and heroine more convincing, Oggs chose Jason who was born in 1969, and Colin who was an alternative was 1976. year born.
This is also one of the important reasons why Ogus resists Renly.
At the beginning, when Andy chose the script and the role, he had ridiculed Renly's situation - now Renly's leading roles are mainly in the mid-thirties to the middle of the thirteenth, and the audience has gradually accepted Renly's drama. It would be unfair to let him go back and compete with young actors for roles; more often, he sticks to his existing position, and the age range of the roles is relatively wide.
But the problem is that Renly's real age has just turned twenty-five years old. When producers and directors choose actors, middle-aged roles will not consider Renly, and juvenile roles will not consider Renly. There are only young characters left, which also makes Renly always try his best to win the role-the "Edge of Tomorrow" was collectively changed to the youth army according to Renly's age. After that, Renly chose both. Must face the trouble of age, "Interstellar" and "The Lobster" two works, Renly spent a lot of effort to be able to appear.
In other words, on the one hand, Renly can only play roles that tend to be middle-aged relative to youth; but on the other hand, among the really excellent middle-aged roles, Renly cannot be the first choice, which has also become Renly's current choice. A contradiction between the characters and the script, and will still exist objectively in the next few years.
Of course, not only Renly, but Jennifer Lawrence also faced the same problem. She played a role in her early thirties in "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Cloud" and "American Hustle", and later "Joey's Struggle", "American Hustle" In works such as "Mother", she even started to play the role of mother early, and the opposite actors are generally over forty years old - and she is even a year younger than Renly, but this is the general problem that young Hollywood actors must face. .
After twists and turns, after the "Lobster" crew finally officially confirmed that Renly will play the role, Oggs adjusted the role of David to thirty years old, but Rachel was still the heroine's choice.
For no other reason, Rachel was the perfect choice in Oggs' mind.
Deeply influenced by her mother, Rachel has been immersed in the drama circle since she was a child, and she has been trying various plays and stage performances since she was a student. Later, she entered Cambridge University to study, she did not delay her studies, and she did not give up her own Acting, writing and directing many experimental plays, and touring all over the UK, this has also laid a solid foundation for her future career.
In 1996, Rachel starred in the Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci's "Stealing Fragrance" and officially entered the film industry; three years later, "The Mummy" became a dark horse at the box office, and it also made Rachel become famous. His career has reached its first peak, and it has truly become widely known and opened up a career situation.
After that, works such as "Single Parent Transfer", "Hell Detective", "Blueberry Night", "The Bourne 4", "The Wizard of Oz" and other works have made her leave her name in Hollywood; not only that, In 2005, the work "Immortal Gardener" won her countless attention in the awards season, and finally successfully won the best supporting actress.
Rachel is a typical British actress, low-key, calm, restrained, tenacious, dedicated and dedicated. Outside of acting, she rarely appears in news reports, and even paparazzi gossip is extremely rare, even after winning an award. Her life has not changed much, and she still chooses the roles she likes conscientiously. This is also doomed that Rachel is not a popular actor, but people in the industry have never been stingy with her love for this actor:
Her performances always endow female characters with a unique texture of fragility and strength, with heat hidden in the cold, like a rose with thorns; and she can complete the transformation at any time.
By the way, Rachel has had two marriages, her ex-husband is Darren Aronofsky, the talented director who filmed "Requiem of a Dream" and "The Fountain of Love", they are also well-known in the circle. Talented and beautiful, and have a son, unfortunately, at the end of 2010, they ended up breaking up; later, Rachel remarried, and her husband was the new "007" Daniel Craig, which has also become a lot of fans. Happy talk.
Although she is over forty now, Rachel still has her own unique charm. The mature and cold femininity always makes people ignore the existence of age. It is not a girlish feeling, but a kind of beyond age. Temperament, quietly blooming fragrance, not everyone can appreciate - this is the reason why Ogles favors Rachel. In the whole of Hollywood, with the endless stream of new actresses getting younger and younger, he I still firmly believe that Rachel is the most suitable choice for the whole movie, and the difference between Europe and North America can also be seen from the side.
Accompanied by Whishaw and Leia, Renly and Olivia entered the hotel lobby, and he noticed Rachel's presence at first sight.
