Venom-Presskit.Pdf Jedna z najznámejších a najkomplexnejších postáv z komiksov spoločnosti Marvel prichádza ako Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), ktorý sa stáva hostiteľom krvilačného mimozemského symbionta Venoma! Ako novinár Eddie bojoval proti geniálnemu zakladateľovi technologického giganta Life Foundation - Carltonovi Drakeovi (Riz Ahmed). To ho však stálo všetko - úspešnú kariéru aj vzťah so snúbenicou Anne (Michelle Williams). Pri vyšetrovaní Drakeových experimentov sa však spojí s mimozemským Venomom, vďaka čomu Eddie získa superschopnosti, vďaka ktorým si môže robiť, čo len chce. Eddie vo svojom vnútri s nepredvídateľným a nebezpečným Venomom zápasí, nové schopnosti sú však pre neho ako droga. A keďže obaja jeden druhého potrebujú, ich identity sú čoraz viac prepojené - kde končí Eddie a začína Venom? MY... SME... VENOM! Dôvodov, prečo je Venom jednou z najpopulárnejších postáv komiksov spoločnosti Marvel, je niekoľko. Je nebezpečný, nepredvídateľný, plný hnevu a jeho humor je čierny ako jeho koža, ktorá z neho spolu s veľkými bielymi očami a ústami plnými nabrúsených zubov a dlhého jazyka robí hrôzostrašné monštrum. Venom však nie je sám - je prepojený s Eddiem, egoistickým novinárom posadnutým odhaľovaním neprávosti. Spolu sú schopní hocičoho. Producent Matt Tolmach, ktorý stál za kinohitom Jumanji: Vitajte v džungli: „Eddie Brock je ako mnohí z nás. Snažil sa ochraňovať bezbranných, no prerástlo mu to cez hlavu. Hľadal skratky, šiel sám proti sebe. Má veľké ego. Náš film je o tom, ako sa môže stať lepším - a to sa mu, paradoxne, môže podariť v momente, keď stretne Venoma.” Ďalší z producentov, Avi Arad: „Eddie a Venom sú veľmi rozdielne bytosti, ktoré si navzájom zmenia životy. Príbeh filmu je strašidelný, napínavý a veľmi zábavný. Je temný, no veľmi optimistický a oproti záplave súčasných filmov o superhrdinoch jedinečný,” hovorí Arad. „Eddie ovplyvňuje dobro vo Venomovi a ten sa, naopak, stane jeho svedomím. Na záchranu sveta treba, aby sa dobrý a zlý spojili v jedného!” Keď sa nakrúcania filmu chopil režisér Ruben Fleischer - známy kultovou hororovou komédiou Zombieland - producenti vedeli, že našli niekoho, kto dokáže z najdrsnejšej marvelovskej postavy vyťažiť maximum. Na to však potrebovali herca, ktorý dokáže stvárniť obe komplikované bytosti - novinára Eddieho Brocka a mimozemského symbionta Venoma. Toho našli v jednom z najznámejších hercov v súčasnom Hollywoode - v Tomovi Hardym. „Tom je jeden z najlepších hercov všetkých čias, je extrémne talentovaný. Je obrovskou hviezdou, dokáže vniesť veľa do každého pohľadu, momentu, detailu, slova. Okrem toho je veľmi vtipnýa presne to sme pre tento film potrebovali.” Hardy hovorí: „To, že potrebujú jeden druhého, aby prežili, je podstatou Eddieho a Venoma. Sú spojení v jedno. Ich heslom je “My sme Venom”. Hardy bol nadšený, že si môže zahrať práve túto komiksovú postavu. „Venom je cool, je drsný. Rozprával mi o ňom môj syn, ktorý ho miluje. Je to pre herca skvelá postava, pretože nemá zábrany a nepozná pravidlá. Má veľa vrstiev.” Venomove komiksové začiatky sú ako zo sna každého tvorcu: epizódna postava, ktorá prerástla v obrovský, extrémne populárny fenomén. Pôvodne bol súčasťou komiksov o Spider-Manovi ako hrôzostrašný záporák, ktorého sa mali čitatelia báť. Stal sa však pravý opak - fanúšikovia si tohto divného antihrdinu zamilovali a stal sa jednou z najobľúbenejších postáv spoločnosti Marvel. A teraz dostane aj svoj vlastný film. Ako Venomov protivník sa v ňom predstaví geniálny vedec Carlton Drake, zakladateľ technologického giganta Life Foundation. Na jeho stvárnenie producenti hľadali herca, ktorý mu dokáže skĺbiť eleganciu s temnou agresivitou. Našli ho v britskom hercovi a raperovi, držiteľovi Zlatého glóbusu, Rizovi Ahmedovi. Jeho Drake pôsobí na prvý pohľad ako vizionársky vedec, filantrop a vynálezca, ktorý založil Life Foundation vo viere, že dokáže pomôcť ľudstvu. V skutočnosti však ide o komplikovaného kriminálnika, ktorý sa kvôli vlastnému presvedčeniu neštíti ničoho. Režisér Fleischer: „Som Rizovým veľkým fanúšikom a už dlho som s ním chcel pracovať. Je jedným z najtalentovanejších hercov súčasnosti.” Producent Avi Arad hovorí, že Drake je veľmi zaujímavý záporák, pretože svoje pohnútky skrýva pod bohatstvo a intelekt. „Je jedinečný a veľmi nebezpečný, pretože má neobmedzené zdroje - a celý svet mu to žerie, keďže netušia, aká je pravda.” „Keď ho počúvate, máte pocit, že chce zachrániť ľudstvo, no počas filmu zistíte, aké veľké je jeho šialenstvo,” hovorí Tolmach. „Riz dokáže hrať dokonale obe jeho stránky.” Riz Ahmed: „Drake vidí realitu našej existencie, vidí čo ľudia spravili s touto planétou. Budúcnosť vidí v skúmaní vesmíru. Skutoční vizionári to vidia podobne - z rovnakých dôvodov.” Hlavnou ženskou hrdinkou filmu je Anne Weying, ktorú si zahrala hviezdna Michelle Williams. Rázna právnička je Eddieho láskou, no len do momentu, kedy ju Eddie nevyužije. „Anne Eddieho miluje, no nedokáže viac tolerovať jeho správanie. Neprestala ho však úplne ľúbiť a aj vďaka tomu je Anne veľmi dôležitou súčasťou príbehu,” hovorí Williams. VENOM A DIGITÁLNA ANIMÁCIA Obrovský a hrôzostrašný - Venom je výrazne iný ako ostatné postavy z komiksov. Tvorcom bolo jasné, že jeho výzor na filmovom plátne bude pre mnohých fanúšikov veľmi dôležitý. Ostré zuby, strašidelné oči a dlhý, mrazivý jazyk - to je Venom! Venom na filmovom plátne je dielom digitálnej animácie. Jeho dizajn mali na svedomí špecialisti na vizuálne efekty Paul Franklin a Sheena Duggal. „Venom je iný ako akákoľvek postava, ktorú sme kedy videli. Vyzerá trocha ako človek, no jeho schopnosti sú oveľa väčšie. Dokáže mať chápadlá, zmeniť tvar svojho tela. Je takmer nezničiteľný, dokáže toho zniesť neskutočne veľa. Vďaka tomu občas pôsobí, akoby bol tekutý,” hovorí Franklin. Dvojnásobný držiteľ Oscara Franklin musel zároveň vytvoriť aj vzhľad a pohyb symbionta. „Symbiont dokáže cez kožu vliezť človeku do tela. Pôsobí ako čierny sliz, no keď sa spojí s Eddiem, vznikne Venom - slizký tvor s obrovskými bielymi očami.” Počas nakrúcania bol Venomom 2-metrový kaskadér, ktorý mal na hlave pripevnenú špeciálnu prilbu s digitálnym zariadením, z ktorého efektári zbierali dáta. Práve na toto zariadenie sa museli herci pozerať, keď na pľaci hrali s Venomom, v rovnakej výške by totiž boli oči trojmetrovej príšery. „Je to skvelý systém, vďaka ktorému vždy vieme, akú časť priestoru Venom zaberá. Keď ho teda do záberu vložíme digitálne, okamžite doň zapadne,” hovorí Franklin. Okrem Venoma špecialisti vytvorili ďalších 4 symbiontov vrátane záporáka Riota. Práve s ním má Venom na záver filmu veľký súboj - počas ktorého bojujú spolu Eddie Brock a Carlton Drake, no zároveň aj Venom a Riot. ZVUK (A HLUK) Zvukový inžinier Michael Koff mal pri výrobe filmu ťažkú úlohu. Počas 40 filmovacích dní sa musel so svojim tímom postarať o to, aby Eddieho vnútorný monológ - Venom - znel dostatočne presvedčivo aj na pľaci. „Tom s nami strávil vždy ráno 20-30 minút a nahral všetky Venomove dialógy na ten deň. Keď odišiel do maskérne, vytvorili sme pre neho slučky, ktoré sa mu prehrávali do slúchadla na pľaci,” hovorí Koff. „Keď Tom prišiel na pľac, mal pocit, že s Venomom majú scénu už na skúšanú, keďže mu hovoril do ucha,” pokračuje Koff. Tento postup vytvoril na pľaci pocit uveriteľnosti, keďže Venoma počul zo všetkých prítomných len Hardy. SÚBOJ V EDDIEHO BYTE A ULICE SAN FRANCISCA Nakrúcanie Venoma začalo v Blackhall Studios v americkej Atlante. Prvé zábery sa nakrúcali v Eddieho byte, kde sa prvýkrát transformuje na Venoma a ešte nedokáže ovládať svoje nové schopnosti. Režisér Ruben Fleischer: „V tej scéne je Eddie ovládaný ako divadelná bábka, ktorú Venom ovláda, aby porazil zloduchov. To je jednoduchý opis, no bolo dosť náročné ho zrealizovať. Tom musel hrať človeka uprostred akcie, ktorý netuší, čo sa deje - neovláda svoje končatiny, ktoré mlátia všetkých okolo neho.” Takýto osobný súboj by nikdy nefungoval bez herca, akým je Tom Hardy. Ten niekoľko mesiacov pred nakrúcaním začal doma v Londýne s tvrdým tréningom v zmiešanom zápasení. Vedúci tímu kaskadérov Chris O’Hara Hardyho chváli: „To m trénoval zmiešané zápasenie a posilňoval ako blázon. Všetka príprava v Anglicku sa vyplatila. Mal všetko pod kontrolou.” Súboj v Eddieho byte končí v uliciach San Francisca, kde Eddieho/Venoma na jeho Ducati naháňajú nájomní zabijaci v rýchlych džípoch. Pomo cn ý štáb na čele s režisérom Spirom Razatosom a kaskadérom Andym Gillom sa na naháňačke vybláznili. Obaja majú s podobnými scénami skúsenosti, spolupracovali na filmoch ako Rýchlo a zbesilo či Kapitán Amerika. Svoje zážitky z nakrúcania popisuje jeden z kaskadérov Jimmy Roberts takto: „Pri Venomovi som stál na streche uháňajúcich áut, pred tvárou mi vybuchovali bomby, svišťali okolo mňa nákladiaky. Zažil som asi všetko, nazval by som to kaskadérsky desaťboj.” AUTÁ A MOTORKY Jedným z najväčších vozidiel vo filme bolo MRAP - vozidlo vyvinuté pre americké ťaženie v Iraku, ktoré je odolné voči výbuchom mín a mimo armády sa nevyužíva. Vo filme vozidlo slúži na prevoz symbiontov do centrály Life Foundation. Vedúci tímu vozidiel Sean Ryan ho upravili tak, aby bolo jednoduchšie manévrovateľné - keďže skutočné MRAP váži 4,5 tony. Ďalšími vozidlami vo filme sú džípy Dodge Cherooke SRT, ktoré používajú nájomní zabijaci Carltona Drakea. Hoci majú normálne výkon 480 koní, Ryan a jeho tím ich vylepšili až na 707 koní, aby zvládli akčné naháňačky. Pri nakrúcaní sa ich používalo 12 a všetkých 12 sa počas neho aj zničilo: „Prestavali sme džípy zo štvorkolesového pohonu na dvojkolesový a dlho sme ich testovali, aby sme si boli istí,

Widely regarded as one of the most prominent figures in the history of sports, Armstrong had brought global attention to cycling as the man who had triumphed over cancer and went on to win bicycling’s greatest race, the Tour de France, a record seven consecutive times. Charting Armstrong’s life-story (and given unprecedented access to both the Tour and the man), Gibney began filming what he initially envisioned as the ultimate comeback story – Armstrong’s return from his 2005 retirement and his attempt to win his eighth Tour.

  • Zathura: a Space Adventure
    An intergalactic world of wonder is waiting just outside your front door in Columbia Pictures' heart-racing sci-fi family film Zathura: A Space Adventure. Zathura: A Space Adventure is the story of two squabbling brothers who are propelled into deepest, darkest space while playing a mysterious game they discovered in the basement of their old house. Now, they must overcome their differences and work together to complete the game or they will be trapped in outer space forever. SYNOPSIS After their father ( Tim Robbins ) leaves for work, leaving them in the care of their older sister ( Kristen Stewart ), six year-old Danny ( Jonah Bobo ) and ten-year old Walter ( Josh Hutcherson ) either get on each other‘s nerves or are totally bored. When their bickering escalates and Walter starts chasing him, Danny hides in a dumbwaiter. But Walter surprises him, and in retaliation, lowers Danny into their dark, scary basement, where he discovers an old tattered metal board game, —Zathura.“ After trying unsuccessfully to get his brother to play the game with him, Danny starts to play on his own. From his first move, Danny realizes this is no ordinary board game. His spaceship marker moves by itself and when it lands on a space, a card is ejected, which reads: —Meteor shower, take evasive action.“ The house is immediately pummeled from above by hot, molten meteors. When Danny and Walter look up through the gaping hole in their roof, they discover, to their horror, that they have been propelled into deepest, darkest outer space. And they are not alone.

  • Avid Editors Triumph at the 2014 ACE Eddie Awards
