裂纹 Brings the Action With 提取, First Original Movie

While other online video sites are releasing short series full of 5-minute episodes, 裂纹很长. The Sony-owned online video destination has already attracted a following 与 its free commercial-sponsored premium content 和 original programming (most prominently Jerry Seinfeld’s “在车里喝咖啡的喜剧演员”). Now, it’s graduating to long-form video 和 is releasing two original movies online: Joe Dirt 2是2001年大卫·斯佩德(David Spade)原创电影的续集提取9月5日首播.

提取是一部关于一个美国人的身体动作电影.S. covert operation to extract a prisoner from a maximum-security Chechen prison. When the mission goes awry, one agent needs to fight his way out 和 keep his target alive. 这部电影的主演是铁拳)和福尔克·亨切尔(of 骑士与白昼) in the lead roles; Danny Glover, Sean Astin, 和 Vinnie Jones lend additional star power. We spoke to Tony Giglio, who wrote 和 directed the film.

创建提取

“这个想法来自于我看到的 突袭:救赎 [a 2011 martial arts film from Indonesia] 和 I really, really liked it,” Giglio recalls. “I was getting a little bored 与 some of the Hollywood action movies that were coming out. What that movie did was it was very intense, but you got to see a lot of the action. 你看到表演者表演特技. 你觉得你是在和他们打架.”

提取不是从情节转折或明星开始的. It started when Giglio realized how exciting action movies are that don’t cut away every second or two, 而是实际展示动作的发展.

“It just added a different level of excitement,” Giglio says. “You direct enough movies 和 you can tell when they’re putting a stunt double in for Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise or something. It was just kind of nice to see the guy really doing the stuff 和 to not direct too much 与 the camera -- to actually let the performer do it. 所以我开始考虑一些想法.”

提取是吉里奥的第五部故事片吗. He’s been kicking around Hollywood for years, rising up the ranks. His first job in movies was as Sam Raimi’s production assistant (PA) during 《生者与死者. Giglio also worked as a PA for James Cameron during the making of the Terminator 2 3D ride at Universal Studios Florida. His first feature was a low-budget film for Columbia TriStar 首页 Video. 不局限于任何一种类型, 吉里奥导演了一部家庭电影, 第二次世界大战潜艇剧, 惊悚片, 还有一部恐怖电影. 他还写了不少剧本.

Giglio头脑风暴般地创造了一个低成本游戏, contained action movie but thought the field for black ops titles might be a little crowded, 与 海豹六队 和 猎杀本·拉登 刚出来的时候. A lunch 与 a producer friend got Giglio talking about 提取然而,. The producer liked the idea 和 knew that people at 裂纹 were looking for action titles, 于是他安排了一次会面.

“At the time, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t fully aware of taking any projects to a new media. I was familiar that Sony had an online division, but I wasn’t too savvy about it,” Giglio says. “I put together a pitch 和 they set a meeting, 和 I didn’t really think too much of it. 通常是你出去推销的时候, 你的经纪人和经理排成40到50人的队伍, 你要在两周的时间内做完. 这只是一个特例. I didn’t know what to expect, but our executive John Orl和o pretty much bought it in the room. 我可能和任何人一样震惊.”

星星排列为提取

起初，噼啪和吉里奥打算做提取 as a six-episode series, in line 与 most original content on the site. That’s how Giglio pitched the idea, as six 25-minute episodes. But after Giglio wrote the 150-page script for the full series, he 和 the people at 裂纹 realized the project was beyond the established budget. 想来想提取 was finished, but 裂纹 liked the idea 和 encouraged him to find a way to do it for less money. He joked that he could take 50 pages out of the script 和 shoot it as a movie, 和 to his surprise the people at 裂纹 went for it. They hadn’t done a movie yet 和 were excited by the idea.
