Although the box office performance of "Death Is Coming 2" is not particularly ideal, it is ultimately making money. After the release of "Death Is Coming 2", the third part has been put on the agenda.
Death is coming 3
Script preparation
Originally, New Line Pictures wanted to put together a trilogy to end the series. Death 3 is the last installment in the series. So the new line welcomed back the director of the first part, Huang Yiyu. Jeffrey Redick, the screenwriter of the first film, was actually not too satisfied with the script of the second part. In particular, the male and female protagonists of the second part survived. So after the second production was completed, Jeffrey sold his share of the Death series and left the new line where he had worked for eleven years.

The DVD version can choose a side line
Huang Yiyu and Glen Morgan grasped the essence of the disaster, that is, the "sense of powerlessness out of control". In the first part, the disaster occurs on the plane, and when people are on the plane, they are actually out of control. How the plane flies, passengers have no control. The second part does not grasp this essence in terms of creating disasters. Although the scene is large, except for the mineral water rolling under the brake pedal, creating a momentary sense of loss of control and powerlessness, most of the rest is a chain reaction.
So in the third part, Huang Yiyu and Glen Morgan put the disaster scene on the roller coaster and continued to create a group out of control. The idea for the roller coaster to run out of control and deraillement is said to come from Richard Bryant, CEO of New Line Pictures. Richard denied that the inspiration came from the "Thunder Mountain derailment incident", but instead had a flash of inspiration. Maybe it was afraid of causing secondary harm to the injured at that time.
Giant Thunder Mountain Train
On September 5, 2003, a railway derailment occurred at Disneyland's "Thrilling Journey to Thunder Mountain". A total of 10 people were injured in the accident, and another 22-year-old tourist died of extensive contusion combined with internal bleeding.
Starring candidate
At first, the setting was dominated by the male protagonist, and finally sacrificed to save the female protagonist. The heroine is set up as a blonde "Screaming Queen". It is a character in general horror films, with blond hair and a fiery body, who is responsible for screaming when people "die". At first, when looking for actors, I wanted to find some roles that looked familiar and had a star temperament, but they couldn't be named. But after looking for a long time, the male and female protagonists were not found. In the end, the heroine was found in the audition of the second part.
The heroine's on-set photos are very good at playing
Mary. Elizabeth. Winsted had auditioned for the heroine in Death 2. But it was not selected. After Huang Yiyu took over the third part, he found that this girl was very good. And he showed good acting skills in auditions. The only regret is that the third part needs a screaming queen, a blonde. Mary is not the kind of slender and weak figure, and she is 170+ tall, looking like that kind of weird sports girl. It was a waste to have her play the blonde who could only scream. In the end, Huang Yiyu decided: it was her! Change the script!!
Later, Huang Yiyu was very proud of his decision. His evaluation of Mary and the role she plays creates a bondage. "She" is deeply affected by the accident, but "she" has a strength in her heart to support "her" to stand up and set about solving the problem.
In fact, Huang Yiyu really likes the role played by Mary. So much so that at the end of the original version, Mary and her friends survived. However, during the test screening, the audience expressed dissatisfaction. Huang Yiyu urgently filmed a subway out of control ending, which was considered to have wiped out all these people...
Famous scene Sunbathing
The film was released
After the film's release, it reversed the decline of "Death 2" at the box office, and raised the box office back to the billion-dollar level: the film earned $118.9 million worldwide for $25 million.
Seeing that the decline was reversed, New Line Pictures directly overturned the decision to end the trilogy and wanted to continue filming. That's where the next two parts come in.
Originally, "Death Is Coming 3" was about to be made into a 3D version, but Huang Yiyu believed that flames and blood would affect the display effect of the red filter. It is estimated that the 3D version was filmed at that time, and it was also played with red-green or red-and-blue glasses.
The photo suggests a headshot by a nail gun
For such films, especially sequels to plasma thrillers, everyone should understand what the critics will say. The voice of criticism mainly focuses on the handling of the plot. This one does not give the protagonist the ability to foresee death, and is set to borrow from the 1976 movie "Omen" and infer from the photo. Critics agree that many people have lost their sense of resistance compared to the first two films. Just to die for the sake of dying. But everyone unanimously praised Mary. Elizabeth. Winsted's acting skills, at the same time, praised the two death scenes of "Sunbathing" and "Hardware Store".
Let's stop there. Have the opportunity to tell a little bit about Mary. Elizabeth. Winsted the actor. Good actors, delayed by many directors. It is also a pity that people only usher in better opportunities in middle age. Who knew she was still a singer.
