In the press room of the Warner Building, a reporter looked at Duke and Warner's press officer above and said to another reporter, "This is really not a good choice. Is that right, Tony?"

"It was a terrible decision for other directors. But he was different, Jarvis."

The reporter named Tony said, "Who made him Duke Rosenberg!"

Who made him Duke Rosenberg?

Hearing the discussions of the two colleagues ahead, Sarah from the Los Angeles Times also sighed in her heart.

News in Hollywood has been circulating. Duke Rosenberg wants to restart Batman with Warner Bros. When Sarah just heard it, she felt very surprised. There are so many choices, but he insists on choosing the most difficult one.

In recent years, superhero movies have gradually flourished. For superheroes, this is a good era that has never been seen before, but successful superhero works all have one similarity - from Marvel!

When did the DC superhero sweep the big screen? That goes back to 1989 "Batman" directed by Tim Burton, which is also recognized as the best Batman movie ever. Can he surpass it?

If it were other directors, Sarah would definitely give a negative answer, but seeing the familiar face ahead, she believed that all this was not difficult.

Duke Rosenberg will definitely save Batman! This is Sarah's real idea, and this idea comes from the other party's countless successes in the past.

Hollywood is a very serious pattern. For example, this press conference, after the routine formalities, the press conference came to the most important reporter's questioning session.

As a famous Duke supporter, Sarah was the first to be named by the press officer. She stood up and asked, "Can Director Rosenberg reveal the general content and theme of the new Batman?"

The microphone has moved to Duke, he nodded slightly and said. "The new work is temporarily named Batman: The Moment of War, which tells the story of Bruce Wayne's journey around the world to eradicate the evil forces of Gotham City and seeking solutions and becoming Batman. It is the first film about the Dark Warrior to see the world's view of Gotham City. I will dissolve it into this city as great as London, New York and Paris."

Jarvis became the second reporter to ask a question, "Duke, as we all know, Gotham is a fictional city, and the Gotham depicted by every director is different. How do you plan to shape Gotham City?"

"A exaggerated version of modern New York, a breathless metropolis, it gets you deep and makes you feel boundless." Duke said of his opinion of Gotham City. "I want the audience to feel that Gotham City is a familiar and dangerous place."

He thought about it and emphasized, "I defined Gotham City as the 'Cubic Power of New York'. In order to grasp this essential attribute of the city, the movies should be filmed as much as possible."

Duke, the location of Gotham City, has been selected. It is not what he mentioned in New York, but another famous sin capital in the United States - Chicago!

The outdoor scenes of the city will be shot as much as possible, but Duke will not hesitate or give up where the pictures should be synthesized with a computer. He is not Christopher Nolan, and he will not insist that all pictures must be shot in real scenes or using models. In the current highly developed computers, the cost of CG is constantly declining. It is more cost-effective, time-saving than shooting with prop models.

There is also shooting, Duke has been familiar with digital devices since last year, starting with the Batman trilogy. He is ready to abandon film and turn to digital technology in a comprehensive way, not only shooting, but also using digital technology in post-production.

He has never been a film controller and has never rejected advanced technology.

Just like audio movies replace silent movies and color movies replace black and white movies, digital technology replaces film technology is also a general trend, and it is not something that a few directors can change with persistence.

Similar to James Cameron, Duke is more inclined to new film technology in most cases. People with his personality will never be immersed in the glory of the past.

The replacement of old and new is a theme that will never change in this world.

Shortly after the press conference, the news websites of major media updated the relevant content, and most media were waiting and watching Duke's new film.

"Duch Rosenberg has a commercial film style, so it is not surprising to choose a more commercial film, but is it a bit too much to restart the Batman series?"

——The New York Times

"It's better to take over Marvel's superhero movies than to choose Batman, which is easier to succeed!"

——The Hollywood Reporter

Compared with the media, Duke's fans generally have a supportive attitude, and they share their opinions on the instant sharing website.

"If there is a director who can save Batman, then this person must be Duke!"

"I'm looking forward to what Duke's Batman will look like!"

"The new Batman will definitely be an epic video when he arrives in Duke's hands!"

No matter what the fans and the media think, it will not hinder Duke's step-by-step implementation of the preparation plan.

Charles Rowan continues to serve as producer for him, Anna Prinz is the deputy director who formulates planning scripts and assists in filming. John Schwartzman, who has become a super fat man, takes charge of Duke on the set, Jimmy Carter is responsible for training actors, setting action routines and shooting action scenes, Hanna Serena wants to reproduce the evil and majesty of Gotham City, and Jos William is responsible for designing and implementing all explosion scenes.

A mature and tacit team can make Duke much easier and is also an important condition for his continuous success over the years.

"I need actors, Duke."

In the conference room of the Duke Studio, Jimmy Carter looked at Duke and said, "I want to train them to look very skillful fighting masters. It takes time. Now the only actor who is confirmed is Liam Neeson, but he is the least person who needs training."

Since last year's Hurricane Rescue, Liam Neeson has been exercising and is in excellent condition.

"It'll be confirmed soon." Duke turned to look at Charles Rowan, "How is the conversation with Christian Bale?"

"He's still thinking about it," said Charles Rowan. "There is no clear agreement to attend the audition yet."

Duke said without hesitation, "If this is the case in a week, give up on him!"

No one in Hollywood is essential, especially superhero movies, where characters always make actors successful.

"Anna..." Duke turned to his deputy and explained, "issuing an audition invitation to Michael Cain, Gary Oldman and Lawrence Fishburne."

Although Morgan Freeman gradually recovered from the scandal in recent years, Duke did not intend to use him at all, and the other party would not be willing to cooperate with him, so he simply chose Murphys, the hacker. He also vaguely remembered that Lucius Fox's first choice was him, and Morgan Freeman was just a spare tire.

"There is also the heroine." Anna Prinz reminded.

"Well, I know." Duke said to Charles Rowan again, "and let's send out the news and we'll hold a large-scale audition for the heroine."

Rachel Daws is indeed a vase, but it also requires certain acting skills in the second part. Katie Helms is not within Duke's consideration at all. Her acting skills are really bad. As for Maggie Gillenhill, how many people would think she is a qualified vase?

"Charles, you are temporarily in charge of the crew. Anna, you are responsible for the script and planning matters."

Duke turned to the other side, "Hannah, John, from tomorrow we go to Chicago and Iceland to inspect the location."

The story at the beginning of the film takes place in the Himalayas. Duke only went to the Himalayas to go out for a scene. The harsh air and environmental conditions are not suitable for large-scale shooting.

The Vatnayukur Glacier in Iceland is the largest glacier in Europe, accounting for one-tenth of the national territory of Iceland. The undulating and rocky terrain is very suitable for the scene in the film that uses the harsh environment of the Himalayas as the background of the story.

As for Chicago, the close-up city shots of the film will be taken from Chicago, and all the panoramic landscapes of Gotham City will be generated through models and cgi images.

After the brief meeting, Duke returned to his office to prepare for a long inspection trip. Before leaving, he also paid special attention to the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" which is being screened.

Time has come to early July. "Hurricane Rescue" spent its fourth weekend in North America, with a cumulative box office of US$181.06 million. Although the number of theaters and screening rates of the film are declining, it is almost inevitable that the final box office of North America will exceed US$200 million.

The third weekend of the film's release in North America was released in 88 countries and regions around the world. As of now, the overseas box office of "Hurricane Rescue" reached US$172.66 million, and the global box office combined reached US$353.72 million.

It is not realistic to expect such a film to create a box office result like the Lord of the Rings trilogy. According to the current development momentum, the global box office can easily exceed 400 million US dollars, and even launch an impact on 500 million US dollars.

After paying a little attention to the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" and communicating with Warner Bros. Duke first flew to Chicago with his photography and art director. The shooting conditions of this city were not complicated. After staying for four days, Duke and others bid farewell to the North American continent and flew to Iceland.

In Hollywood, the news that Duke's crew selected suitable actors for each role was also circulating, and many actors were eager to try. (To be continued.)
