At the same time, the audition work of the crew has been proceeding slowly, such as the audition for the heroine.

Also did not choose a public audition, but conducted a small-scale internal audition, including Charlize - Theron, Claudia - Schiffer, and the long-lost Jekasy - Chastain, together, only a dozen or so female actors.

There are no big-name female stars, and the protagonist in the film is Truman, not a group of female characters.

In the end, Ryan personally decided that the hero's wife, played by Charlize Theron, is the most shot female character in the film.

The reason is very simple. Since Charlize Theron's acting skills can pass the first round of auditions, Ryan will naturally not refuse a deal.

The second wife arranged by the reality show director for the hero is played by Claudia Schiffer as a guest star, which can be regarded as a reward for enjoying some time ago.

However, she has very few shots, and she only needs to show her face, not to mention any important supporting roles.

Another important role, who is also the hero's true love and first love, is preliminarily decided to be played by Jekasy Chastain.

This is Helen's request, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Jekasy Chastain.

Originally, Ryan wanted Monica Bellucci to play a cameo role, but her schedule was very tight, and it was difficult to spare time. In addition, it was Helen's intercession, so Ryan could only temporarily agree.

As for the shooting time, it depends on the specific situation. If Jeccasie-Chastain's performance is not satisfactory, then Ryan will definitely choose to replace him immediately.

As time slowly entered May, the crew began to go to Canada in batches, first went to the studio to shoot indoor scenes, and then went to the town to shoot on-site.

The planners of the entire production crew finally got together, and there was no need for the production crew to separate the two places.

Ryan remains a producer and director, with Paramount's Gary Lucchesi and Lucasfilm's Rick McCollum serving as executive producers. Gail-Anne-Hurd is in charge of the daily work of the crew, and Sofia-Coppola and Gregory-Hobright are the assistant directors.

Multiple producers, assistant directors, the norm for Hollywood crews.

Sofia Coppola held the script in her hand and said very seriously: "Since the whole film is a reality show, the filming cannot be the same as usual."

Ryan's shooting style has always been fierce, terrifying, and bloody, almost completely opposite to the style of "The Truman Show".

This is why those film companies hope to change a director.

Fortunately, after the filming of "The Evil Spirit" his style has changed a lot.

Ryan glanced at Sophia, a literary young woman. I am afraid that her ideas can be more literary and artistic, not close to commercialization.

"Tell me about your plan!"

Still, Ryan asked.

"Cooperate with black and white, try to be as soft as possible, and don't appear sharp shots." Sofia Coppola expressed her thoughts.

Ryan rolled his eyes, didn't continue to pay attention to her, chose to speak out his plan directly, and said: "The best way is to reduce the proportion of the camera to make it look more like a TV show, so as to increase the audience's sense of substitution. , not black and white."

"Good idea." Sofia Coppola nodded.

She wasn't surprised by Ryan's plan at all. Maybe the script looked very artistic, but Ryan would definitely compromise on commercial aspects during the filming process instead of shooting a literary film.

Gail-Anne-Hurd chimed in, "I thought it would save a lot of time by focusing on the interior shots first."

"There are more choices for choosing a schedule for future releases of films."

With the filming plan of "The Truman Show", it will definitely not be able to catch up with the summer release.

Then for the rest of this year, only Christmas is the most suitable.

Of course, you can also choose to release it in March next year, and the spring file is also a good time.

Gary Lucchesi and Rick McCollum glanced at each other, and Gary Lucchesi said, "I agree with Ms. Gale's opinion, focus on shooting indoor shots first, and try to save some time."

"In this way, whether you choose the Christmas schedule or the spring release next year, it is a good choice."

As for next year's summer vacation!

Obviously Paramount doesn't think "The Truman Show" is suitable for summer competition.

"The release schedule is tentatively scheduled for Christmas." Ryan still felt that the Christmas schedule was more appropriate, and said, "Some shooting plans can be changed appropriately."

The original shooting plan was very loose in terms of time, and it took half a year.

However, Ryan feels that the time can be shortened and controlled within 4 to 5 months.

Of course, this does not count the pre-production of the crew, but only the shooting time.

In this way, it is entirely possible to catch up with the Christmas schedule.

Although the time is a bit rushed, it should not be a big problem.

"In terms of shooting time, there should be no problem Sofia Coppola thought for a while and said.

"But I need to remind you that "Saw 3" may also be released in the Christmas time slot."

Hearing this, Gregory Hoblit felt relieved, and Sophia said what he wanted to say but didn't say.

Regarding the investment in "Saw 3", he has been negotiating with 20th Century Fox. Ryan hopes that the investment ratio will remain the same as the previous "Saw 2".

However, the two parties have not yet reached a final agreement, and some time is still needed for negotiation.

However, the two parties have reached a consensus on the film's release schedule, and it is expected to be released in the Christmas schedule.

In this way, the two films will surely face a competition.

"Have someone notify Twentieth Century Fox to set the release schedule of "Chain Saw 3" on Halloween or Thanksgiving, and stagger the release time." Ryan quickly made a decision.

"Gauli, I'm very sorry, I'm afraid you need to leave the crew early."

The director of the next "Saw 3" is still Gregory Hoblitt.

"I can't wait." Gregory Hoblit didn't complain at all, but was faintly excited.

Ryan needs to shoot "The Truman Show", that is to say, there is no time to serve as the producer of "Chain Saw 3", he can shoot according to his own ideas.

If Ryan knew what he was thinking, he would have to sneer. Except for some outdoor scenes, the filming location of "Chain Saw 3" needs to be shot in the haunted house, and the rest of the shots will be shot in the studio in Canada.

Ryan needs to personally check, at least for a long time, he can't let the filming of the "Chain Saw" series be left alone.

He didn't want the cash cow to have any accidents.
