1905 Movie Network News Zhao Ting's "No Man's Land" recently swept the North American awards season, pointing to the Oscars, and she was also producing the Marvel superhero movie "Eternals". Zhao Ting previously said that the creative inspiration for "No Place" came from Wong Kar-wai's "Spring Break", and she revealed in a recent interview with the media that the creative inspiration for "Eternals" came from the Oscar-winning work "The Revenant" starring Xiao Lizi.
The Revenant Hunter
Zhao Ting said: "'Eternity' refers to many movies, and because of the scale of the film, I had to do this. I had a great time working with my team on action scenes, and I think we referenced The Revenant a lot, which is a movie that I really like. Because most of the action scenes were shot on location, every time we had a meeting to discuss the action scenes, we would watch The Revenant, and I remember we'd watched it many times. I love the immersive feel in The Revenant, it's definitely the movie we aspire to make, and Marvel is really supportive of that idea and really wants to put it into practice. "The Revenant" is shot in long-shot passages, and according to Zhao Ting, the action scenes of "Eternals" should also adopt the long-shot style.
Casting for Eternals
Directed by Zhao Ting and starring Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Kumel Nanjani, Ma Dongxi, Salma Hayek, etc., Eternals tells the story of millions of years ago, when the cosmic creatures known as the "gods" created the super-powered Eternals and Anomalies through genetic experiments, and the two races have been fighting each other. The film is scheduled to be released in North America on November 5, 2021.
