By virtue of the 2003 "Cold Mountain" (Cold Mountain) won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress Renee Zellweger (Ren é e Zellweger) will 39 cases "for the first time to show her" scream queen "side, while the film is shot by German director Christian Abat (Christian Alvart), the first American works ... 2005, Abat because of the innovative spirit of a great psychological thriller "antibody" (Antik?? rper) pushed to the European film industry's most cutting-edge, the whole story revolves around a serial killer expanded He that is full of crazy way of thinking of the violence factor is likely to be transmitted through the channels of the virus to being tried his police officers - in view of the spectacular visual style and very inflammatory rhetoric, "antibodies" Abat from several rapidly stand out from the upper-coming filmmakers.
In Christian Abat subsequent plan that he hoped the next one works to create a very radical departure from the traditional horror thriller film, when producer Kevin meters Scotia (Kevin Misher ) will proceed created by writer Ray Wright (Ray Wright) called " 39 cases " script handed Abat the hands of the film from Germany can not get out soon deep in the story created by the terrorist environment Abat explained: "At that time, I even have to consider is should be for for taste, temporarily get rid of the terrorist the perversity world of film behind ... but when I read 39 cases ", I immediately awareness to there is about a how crazy sharp, with excellent story of an unexpected outcome, I must in order to image the way it shot out the script to read a very fascinating, just look at the text of the inside of my mind uninterrupted imagine that corresponds to a complete picture. Wright made in which several people feel shocked by the scene, so I am very pleased that they are, without exception, to a new the successful rise to unexpected results. I see it from the script, Wright has been trying to viewers away from a comfortable environment - all this for me, have unusually attractive. "All along, the only Christian Abat that can Taobao interested in and create a sell all resonate with the emotional horror movie, he said: " 39 cases " happens to have this most most important qualities, and I especially like the story revolves around the existence of barriers to the family that reflected the style of realism and real emotions - for me, the core part of the whole story is that even as parents, you can not really grasp the idea of your child, you can try and do their utmost, but you'll never be completely controlled ... when someone like Emily, select everything from the correct point of view, but still no way to play a role, how to do? So, if someone made an evil thing, but proved to be the most effective way, how should we do? "these questions force Christian Abat into the seem esoteric, while the emphasis in the real world, until a series of unexpected events directly to the story of the introduction of a tragic surreal environment, Abat said: I have always wanted 39 cases have is a real brave tough style. "
[From the realistic style surrealism]
Christian Abat for the blind pursuit of realism does not mean that he will devote his very iconic film style behind, so he still used a look structure is a bit of visual clutter rhythm, level by level, to establish a mysterious world full of suspense, direct manufacturing so that the cold biting influence, Abat said: "I am inclined to such films a clue master hands, so that each physical elements, including every prop, every movement made by the deployment of every color and actor, is to let the audience immersive realism - that is a after high temperature treatment realism style, led the people into one they may never know where the place. "
Excellent structure of the script is the Christian · Abat that very creative film means, coupled 39 cases , which makes the two came in, decided to join the industry is very famous producer Kevin meters in homes and Steve Gao Lin (Steve Golin) meters in homes, said: "For a similar story material, Abat there is always a terrible intuition, Gao Lin and I first met him, there is a sense of déjà vu hit it, we liked him very much, more is to love his enthusiasm in talking about a movie, focused and unique point of view. Prior to this, he never filmed the English with the films that "antibodies" is already his talent revealed Abat's desire to simply the topic of suspense and horror, greed ’ ‘ to describe, he got the script from that day on, he already knows you want to use what kind of camera angle to show the whole story. "
In the preparatory work of the film is not yet settled when Christian Abat do storyboards, mind the first 39 cases "lays out a complete form of expression, then adjust the details of each screen. He knew the film a few abnormal shocked by the unexpected scene should take what kind of treatment - for example, a series of scenes of people feel very nervous oven, directly cut off Emily and Leah Ritz good relationship; memorable that part of the bathroom, which has emerged is difficult to count the Hornet, they gathered together to attack Emily psychologists that do a good friend Doug. each element must be careful to achieve a certain degree of balance, Abat said: "We hope that these scenes are not only scary, but also brought together out the annoyance of a Heart is hard to influence favorably in achieving the most primitive The purpose of the foundation, can not jump out of the scope of a psychological thriller should be. "
Christian Abat mainly looking for in the casting process, that can create a sense of mystery, the emotional atmosphere of anxiety and desire for the actors, he said: "If you want 39 cases ", you have to let the inside of these roles appear authentic, so I needed an actor too able to establish strong credibility in the movie too weird and bizarre event, and deepen the emotional link between the audience. Fortunately, I have found is Renee Zellweger, Zudi Fran (Jodelle Ferland,) and Ian (Ian McShane), McCurry Sean led a group of very good actor candidates. "
Renee Zellweger in " 39 cases " dedication to the true and bold style of performance, while her previous work has her acting has a very wide coverage, including "Cold Mountain" won an Oscar for her, as well as in "Chicago" (Chicago) in the energetic female prisoners, and finally her most representative Bridget Jones Diary "(Bridget Jones's Diary) comedy series ... to the film, Zellweger portrayed the" mother "image of a brand new full of warmth, when she thought he was being rescued the little girl is actually all a source of mystery, fear and confusion in her life but also into a desperate.
In fact, the beginning of this role on Emily, Christian Abat looking for a body looks stronger, serious actress, because she needs considerable skill and courage in order to make of her the terrorist environment authentic, Abat admitted: "I know the change of the main rhythm of the film, the need to rely on the actress to grasp the whole story, so I imagine that has a real Ms. strength and maturity of the system of thinking, but not a young beautiful little girl. tell the truth, and the generous help of female filmmakers like this Renee Zellweger is so popular in Hollywood, for each of us be considered as a pleasant surprise.
