On January 12, the poster of Jesse Eisenberg's new work "The Hummingbird Project" was announced to be finalized. The film was directed by The Wizard of War, director of the Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, and starred Oscar-nominated Jesse Eisenberg ("The Incredibles", "The Social Network"), and Emmy Winner Alexander Skarsgaard ("Tarzan Returns: Jungle"). The film will land in domestic theaters on January 29.
The story of the movie "Hummingbird Project" can be summed up by the slogan on the poster " 'Seconds' into the Bucket Gold". In the trailer, the "Contrasting Brothers" played by Jesse Eisenberg and Alexander Skarsgaard describe a way to make a fortune called "high-frequency trading": they plan to build a fiber optic line between Kansas and the New York Stock Exchange to get stock market information faster, thus fighting the cold-blooded former bosses and fulfilling their dreams of becoming billionaires. The brothers complement each other's abilities, but the cruel market, cruel opponents, and endless obstacles make their dream journey difficult.
Jesse Eisenberg has always appeared as a genius with fast speech and high IQ, and the "Amazing Demon Bandits" series starring him has swept the world and is deeply loved by mainland audiences. He was also nominated for "Best Actor" at the 83rd Academy Awards and "Best Actor" at the 68th Golden Globe Awards for The Social Network. This time, "Volume West" broke through the previous screen image of high IQ and low emotional intelligence, playing the clever entrepreneurial CEO Vincent, who assumed the role of leader in the "Hummingbird Project".
The other star of the film, "e big" Alexander Skarsgaard, has gained a large number of domestic fans with his high appearance and good body. He has attracted attention for the role of Eric the vampire in the popular American drama "True Love Is Like Blood", and has also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Big Little Lies", starring in "Tarzan Returns: Jungle" and "Super Battleship" with a box office of more than 300 million yuan in China. In this film, "e big" self-destructs, challenges the "Mediterranean" hairstyle, and plays the high-IQ programmer Anton, who has social barriers on one side and sullen and cute on the other, and the image is unprecedented.
"Hummingbird Project" has previously appeared in international film festivals such as the Toronto International Film Festival, the Ottawa International Film Festival, and the Busan International Film Festival, and has been fully praised by the audience and many authoritative media. Foreign media praised the film as "vivid performance", "inspiring people to forge ahead" and "deeply rooted in the hearts of the people". In North America, the film also received good feedback from the audience after its release.
In recent years, high-quality drama films such as "Green Book", "Three Billboards", "Perfect Stranger", and "Bohemian Rhapsody" have not only achieved good box office results after being introduced to China, but also triggered heated discussions on social networks. Such well-produced, well-scripted, high-quality drama films with high-energy actors have become a new trend in movie viewing.
