Chatty Hollywood

Although out of her own bad taste, Charlotte decided to use the original cast of "The Devil's Advocate" to film "Hell Detective" to create a "sequel" feeling.

However, he had a problem with the use of the third important actor in the "Devil's Advocate" crew.

That’s right, it’s Charlize!

Charlotte's current girlfriend, Charlize, is also the heroine of "The Devil's Advocate."

However, Charlotte did not want her to play the heroine in "Hell Detective" again, opposite Keanu Reeves——

"I'm not being petty!"

"I'm not being petty!"

"I'm not being petty!"

Although she repeated important things three times in her mind, Charlotte actually knew very well——

I am actually being petty!

He doesn't want his girlfriend to have a couple-like relationship with other men many times, especially a handsome guy like Keanu Reeves...

However, fortunately, as Charlotte's girlfriend, Charlize also knows this man's character.

Girls will not be dissatisfied because of this little small-mindedness, and sometimes even feel sweet.

——This is probably Charlotte’s luck too!

"However, even if Sally is not allowed to play the heroine, let her play a role in "Hell Detective"!"

Charlotte thought for a while,

"According to the current script, the heroine's sister who committed suicide and fell into hell seems to be a good choice, especially Mary, played by Sally in "The Devil's Advocate", also seemed to have committed suicide in the end..."

As the coincidental connection between the two movies was deliberately constructed, Charlotte's strange sense of accomplishment became stronger and stronger. Therefore, before he could finish writing the second version of the script, he decided on a further list of actors - —

The male protagonist John Constantine, played by Keanu Reeves;

The heroine Angela,

The actor to play the role is yet to be determined;

Big Boss Lucifer, played by Al Pacino;

Isabelle (the heroine’s twin sister), played by Charlize Theron;

Midnight Daddy, played by Laurence Fishburne...

"Ignoring the previous ones, who is this Laurence Fishburne?"

Looking at the list of actors proposed by Charlotte, Lao Qian couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

He always felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy here, but he couldn't find the problem for the moment.

"Is it okay to use this unknown actor to play the role of Midnight Dad?"

Lao Qiang asked.

"Although he is not well-known, this actor has won a Tony Award, so there should be no problem with his acting skills."

Charlotte explained,

"Actually, I initially considered Samuel L. Jackson, but because of "Pulp", that guy is now quite famous, and it may be hard to confirm his salary and schedule. We can't always hire Denzel Washington or William Wilson. Will Smith play this supporting role?"

"Right."

Lao Qiang nodded helplessly,

"Who made the role of Midnight Dad the King of Voodoo? In the comics, he is a black character. There may not be many black actors in Hollywood who are suitable for him."

"Let Laurence Fishburne try it first!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Anyway, this is just an initial cast list."

"All right."

Lao Qiang, who also had no good solution, agreed with Charlotte's opinion.

In fact, Charlotte would know Laurence Fishburne because of "The Matrix" in the original world——

In that classic science fiction movie, the protagonist Neo was played by Keanu Reeves, and the Morpheus who helped him was played by Laurence Fishburne.

It should be said that the acting was very good.

Therefore, when the list of actors was listed, Charlotte, who was obsessed with jokes, simply listed him as the candidate for Midnight Dad.

This can be said to be the embodiment of Charlotte's bad taste. Although the filming of "The Matrix" has not yet started, no one may know the secret except Charlotte herself.

"But why hasn't the heroine been chosen yet?"

Looking at the list of actors listed by Charlotte, Lao Qian still didn't quite understand.

"And, according to your usual style, since you asked Sally to play, why not let her play the heroine?"

"this……"

Charlotte didn't know how to explain it, but Lao Qiang "understood" on his own.

"You don't want to keep using the same heroine, which will reduce the freshness of the movie and lead to criticism from film critics, right?"

"……Yes."

Thanking Lao Qiang for the legitimate reason in her heart, Charlotte asked,

"Then do you think there are other suitable candidates?"

"Other candidates..."

Lao Qiang scratched his head,

"The role of the heroine Angela is not difficult to play, but whether you can play it well depends on the chemical reaction between you and the hero Keanu Reeves!"

"You're right."

Charlotte nodded.

In his memory, the heroine of the original "Hell Detective" actually had some problems——

Although Rachel Weisz, as an actress who later won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, her acting skills are still good. As one of the British roses, her appearance is both intellectual and glamorous.

However, in the original Hellraiser, the chemistry between her and Keanu Reeves wasn't very obvious.

Although this may have a lot to do with Keanu Reeves' own acting skills, Charlotte always felt that his performance in "Hell Detective" was not very good.

"At the very least, her role as a policewoman and later when she was possessed by a demon was lacking in aesthetic expression."

Charlotte thought in her mind,

"Although this also has a problem with the director's ability, if we can find an actress who can perform that kind of dangerous and glamorous feeling, the effect may be better."

Thinking of this, Charlotte suddenly remembered a good candidate,

"Old Gun, what do you think of Jodie Foster?"

"Let her play the heroine?"

Lao Qiang frowned,

"The FBI policewoman she played in "Silence of the Lambs" is really good. And her acting skills can also be trusted. Especially, last time she guest-starred as a dangerous female killer in "Happy Death Day"... It seems like she can really do it. ah!"

"Then let's try it first!"

Charlotte made her decision.

It’s funny to say that although the four movies Charlotte has shot so far all have investments from Jodie Foster, as an actor, the actress’s cooperation with Charlotte is limited to “Death Day” That cameo in "Happy".

And now "Hell Detective" may be another opportunity for cooperation!

While Charlotte continued to carefully modify the character settings in the script based on the list of actors she had listed, she asked Lao Qiang to start sending audition invitations to various actors...
