To film "Survival in the Wild", Evan Bell found Wayne Westberg, a farmer Christopher McCanders met in South Dakota, and Jane Berners, who successfully rode a ride near the Pacific Hill in California, to invite the two to become consultants on the crew and serve as road trip truck drivers.
Christopher McCanders set out from Atlanta, abandoned his car in Arizona, burned his cash, and then arrived in Pacific Mountain. After staying in South Dakota for several months, he drifted south along the Colorado River and headed for Mexico through the Hoover Dam. After the trip to Mexico was blocked, he illegally returned to the United States by train, passed by Los Angeles, and finally arrived at Salton City, a wanderer base near Salton City. After leaving Salton City, he stayed in the Ansabolego Desert for nearly three months, took a car to Fairbanks in central Alaska, and then entered Denali National Park and began a real wilderness life.
Judging from the map of the United States, Christopher McCanders set out from the southeast, crossed the United States and arrived in the west, then went north for a short period of time, changed his itinerary, headed northeast, and stayed southward for several months, leaving the United States all the way southward. After returning to the United States, he stopped intermittently along the coastline on the west coast, and finally arrived at his destination south again.
Christopher McCanders' route has almost no exact direction, and it is wandering around in the southeast, northwest and north of the United States. This is the real wandering around. But Evan Bell cannot do this when filming. He must finish all the scenes in one place before he can move into the next place. So, after Evan Bell completed the scenes in Alaska, he went south, completed the Mexico part, and then returned to California. At least one-third of the scenes in the film took place in the state. This will also be the place where the crew of "Survival in the Wild" stayed for the longest time.
When Evan Bell arrived in Slate City, he met a very unexpected friend, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Leonardo DiCaprio came to visit the set with a huge team, not only invited the entire crew to dinner, but also let the wanderers who were already staying in Slate City have a party. Evan Bell knew that Leonardo DiCaprio had something to do when he saw him, but he did not intend to say that Evan Bell did not deliberately ask.
"How is it? I finally can shoot a work you dream of. How do you feel?" Leonardo DiCaprio and Evan Bell sat side by side on two rocks, looking at the crowd singing around the bonfire in front of them. Today, Evan Bell specially set up a three-hour holiday for the crew to relax.
Evan Bell took a sip of the beer in his hand, "It's so satisfying. This should be the happiest experience I've had so far."
Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Evan Bell and laughed, "If you say this, your previous works will be so sad that they will cry." This joke only brought Evan Bell's big roll of eyes.
"Putting aside the shock of Chris' story and love for the original novel, the crew's experience of collaboration this time is also very special." Evan Bell hit Leonardo DiCaprio's shoulder and pointed to the middle-aged woman wearing a bohemian dress swinging with the music. "Do you know her? Katherine Keener. I'm not talking about her identity as an actor, but as a producer."
Leonardo DiCaprio was about to roll his eyes and fight back against Evan Bell. But when he heard the second sentence of explanation, he was stunned, "I really don't know much."
Katherine Keener is a legend, a legend of ** production. As an actor, Katherine Keener won the nomination for Best Supporting Actress twice for the two works of "Becoming John Markovic" and "Capport", which is naturally not an unfamiliar name for many people. Leonardo DiCaprio also knows her.
However, as a producer, Katherine Keener's reputation is not obvious because she is the queen of ** production. Her connections in ** production are amazing. Since she collaborated with Brad Pitt in 1991, she has been struggling in ** production for more than ten years. When Spike Jones and Charlie Kaufman were able to film "become John Markovic", she received her strong help. It is worth mentioning that she is also behind the scenes of "adapted scripts". She also helped a lot during the shooting of Bennett Miller's "Capport".
Katherine Keener is generous and generous. She is willing to help others and spare no effort to support ** movies. Many people jokingly say that if you want to shoot a successful ** movie, Katherine Keener will be the best top spot. Many times, Katherine Keener is willing to help those ** directors and ** producers for free, but they don’t ask for any reward. She can’t even see her name in the producer column. But she still enjoys it.
When it comes to love ** movies, Katherine Keener's name will definitely be on the list.
This time Evan Bell was planning to film "Survival in the Wild". When she found Catherine Keener for help in March this year, she had no choice but to agree. After Evan Bell found the route of his travel, the field survey was conducted by Catherine Keener himself; and Wayne Westberg and Jane Burners were also requested by Evan Bell and Katherine Keener himself.
Before the filming of the movie started, Evan Bell needed help and hoped that Catherine Keener could star in the movie. She nodded generously and agreed, just a symbolic pay of one million dollars. This was really a bargain for an actress who won two Oscar nominations. Catherine Keener will play the role of Jane Burners in the movie.
After listening to Evan Bell's explanation, Leonardo DiCaprio couldn't help but sigh, "I feel that you are really happy when you are shooting a work. Get to know new friends, shoot your favorite works, and study your favorite stories and characters. It's great."
Evan Bell laughed, "The director's position is very difficult, and there are endless troubles every day. The entire crew is watching the director's command. In such a hard position, why bother to not find some fun by yourself? It would be better to concentrate on being an actor." Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Evan Bell thoughtfully, "Besides, even if you are just an actor, if the job has lost its original fun, why bother yourself?"
This is not the first time Evan Bell has told Leonardo DiCaprio. The two have been around for four years since they met. Evan Bell has never said it ten times and at least eight times. But every time, Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Evan Bell's unrestrained face, and his envy still arises.
"In addition to Keener, William Hurt and Marcia Guy Harden are also willing to join this time. They play my parents in the movie." Evan Bell said proudly.
William Hurt, a veteran actor who was crowned the best actor in 1985 by relying on "Spider Girl Kiss", competed with Jack Gyllenhaal at the beginning of this year at the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor; Marcia Guy Harden won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress Little Golden Man in 2000 by relying on "Pollock" and won her for Best Supporting Actress in 2003 by "Mysterious River". These two actors are both outstanding seniors.
What Evan Bell didn't say is that "Survival in the Wild" also includes future stars like Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Stewart. Zach Galifianakis is famous all over the world in the future by relying on the comedy movie "Hangover" series; Kristen Stewart jumped to the forefront after the "Twilight" series. However, neither of them has a heavy role in the movie. Kristen Stewart plays the girl Christopher McCanders met in Slate City. The two fell in love, but Chris eventually gave up on his love and embarked on his journey to Alaska again.
"Survival in the Wild" is actually Evan Bell's main role alone, but such a powerful supporting cast also shows Evan Bell's appeal now in the Actors Union.
Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Evan Bell's smug expression, and the smile on his lips was outlined again, "You are a big director now. I hope everyone who starred in your movies is lined up, so there are still more times when you want to show off in the future."
Unexpectedly, Evan Bell shook his head, "Some people even want to join my movie, I will refuse it. No matter how big the brand is, it doesn't matter. I just want the actors I like." This made Leonardo DiCaprio stunned, but then he laughed helplessly. It was indeed very Evan Bell's style. "Think about it, I made a movie like 'Mysterious Skin' and let Tom Cruise star. This is not a waste of my movie."
Only Evan Bell dares to say such arrogant words. Leonardo DiCaprio couldn't help but pat his knees and raised his head and laughed.
Leonardo DiCaprio smiled so hard that tears flowed out, and wiped the corners of his eyes. "Indeed, now the actors want to join your movies, it depends on your face. Director and producer. This is absolutely the power of life and death." Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Evan Bell who deliberately made a proud look and said with a smile, "That big director Evan Bell, how do you think I will star in your next work? Are you still satisfied?"
