Since the domestic crime suspense movie "Forbidden Land" was announced to be launched on iQiyi on September 15, it has received a lot of attention with its suspenseful story setting and tense and suffocating atmosphere. Among them, Robert Kneipp, a well-known Hollywood actor who played the classic villain T-Bag in the American drama "Prison Break", joined in, becoming one of the biggest surprises of the film. Recently, the filmmakers once again released a single sketch poster and character promotional film by Robert Kneipp, in which the poster further shows the characteristics of Robert's characters in the film with the theme of "two faces".
Elegant on the one hand and brutal on the other, the "most divided villain in history" revealed his true face
Robert Kneipp was known for his expertise in portraying villains, and he was known as Hollywood's "villain pro" for this reason. Joining the movie "Forbidden Land", Robert re-exhibited his ability to shape the cult characters, vividly interpreting the role of Victor, the director of the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center.
This latest poster of Victor's personality shows the complexity of the character. The main body of the poster has only one portrait of a human face, but presents two very different styles: on the left is the elegant and deep "gentleman's face", and on the right is the eerie skull. The shadow of the barbed wire is also projected on the picture, once again clarifying the theme of "forbidden place".
Hollywood drama bones joined the domestic suspense film for the first time, fully devoted to dedicated interpretation
This time Robert Kneipp joined the domestic suspense film for the first time, and the cooperation with the Chinese team is also fresh and pleasant. Director Wu Qi admitted that Robert liked the script and the character image, so he decided to join the film almost without hesitation, and the two sides cooperated very tacitly during the shooting process, and Robert could accurately convey the feeling he wanted.
As an excellent actor with full of expressiveness, Robert relies on his strong understanding of the role to interpret the multi-layered "bad" of the character. While filming a scene in the dean's office, Robert Kneipp improvised, pulling the skeleton and jumping up the graceful waltz, creating a glamorous and charming perverted temperament. In addition, Robert also studied anatomical medicine in advance, and took the cold-blooded and professional state of the characters more accurately when shooting large-scale surgeries.
Challenge the new villain role and strive to break through to create another classic image
Although known as a "villain professional", Robert Kneipp has been avoiding facialization and flattening when portraying villains, and strives to show the differences in the personalities of the characters. Robert said: "You can never play a villain and just follow the popular path of a villain, so that you will not succeed." In his view, acting should not only show one role, but should play this person. Because there are very few black and white people in reality, everyone is in a gray area of varying degrees.
In "The Forbidden Land", Robert Kneipp's character modeling for Victor breaks through the past, and "Mad Dean" not only has the violent characteristics of "T-bag", but also has a kind of hidden "bad", a seemingly exquisite and elegant "bad". Robert Kneipp's treatment of details such as character looks, micro-expressions, and small actions successfully interprets the dark side of human nature and gives the film a deeper meaning.
"Forbidden Land" is produced by Beijing Qitiandi Film and Television Culture Communication Co., Ltd., which will land on Aiyiqi on September 15, expecting that "Perverted Dean" will become another classic villain image of Robert Kneipp.
