First, let's take a look at a video and feel it:

Although the magical action blockbuster "God War: Eye of Power" invested and produced by Lionsgate Pictures was only released in Chinese mainland on March 11, the good word of mouth released by the audience who watched the film in advance has begun to spread rapidly. The film tells the story of a mortal thief Baker who helps the Egyptian god Horus complete his revenge and counterattack to become a Ming King. The film uses top special effects to create a magical space where human gods and beasts coexist, and tells a story of the three realms full of love and hatred with delicate and unique performance.
On the occasion of the film's imminent release, the reporter interviewed the five main creators of the film: "God of the Sky" Horus, "God of the Desert" Seth, "God of Love" Hasol played by Nicola Coster-Waldau, Gerald Butler, Elotti Yuan and "the smartest thief in the world" Baker, "the first beauty of the Nile" Saya played by Blanton Siwaz, Cottney Eaton, to talk about the creation story of this film and the mental journey of the filming process. It is worth mentioning that the film stars Hollywood heavyweights.
Nicola Coster-Waldau is the role of the world-famous "Kingkiller" in the world-famous American drama "Game of Thrones", and Gerald Butler is a Hollywood A-list male god. "First Beauty of the Nile" Cotney Eaton starred in the phenomenal work "Mad Max: Fury Road", and Blanton Siweiz, who plays the mortal Baker, is Hollywood's current popular fried chicken.
As the creators say, it's a creative, big-budget film that tells a time-honored classic story about love and revenge. As a movie, it's extraordinary.
Actor Baker-Brandon Siweitz
"Love is the most powerful"
Reporter: This movie is obviously a big production, but what attracted you to make this movie?
Blanton Siweitz: I think it's mainly because the film is very creative. As an actor we are just a small piece of the puzzle. And I think we should come to this film with an open mind, because this movie is very creative, and there are a lot of things that were created using CGI. We now live in a world where we can 3D print anything at will. Alex has a very special way of looking at the world and I think it's a great opportunity to join him and see what I can do.
Reporter: This movie has a lot of big action scenes, what do you think is the most worth the audience's expectation.
Brandon Siweitz: What I'm most looking forward to is watching the confrontation between the gods, because I don't get a chance to see these pictures. Those special effects were added later and shot by stuntmen. They are all shocking and unique pictures. I think these pictures will be great. They embody a lot of creative ideas, and these special pictures and the movements of the stand-ins are very different, and I think people will like it very much.
Reporter: Baker seems to have some conflict with the gods
Brandon Siweitz: At the beginning of the film he didn't like to be controlled. He didn't like Horus as king. Baker felt that Horus was not worthy of being king, and he was abusing his power to become king. So Baker steals god's stuff at the beginning of the film to express his dissatisfaction with god. But he slowly changed his mind and helped restore peace to the town.
Reporter: Do you think you have good luck and love?
Brandon Siweitz: Yeah, that drew me to this movie, and it's a very good love affair. Love is the most powerful. I used to have a teacher in college who said a lot of things, and one of them was that if you can find a script that has sex and revenge, then they're the most powerful, and I think it's more about love than sex in this movie, and it's a very different kind of revenge.
Reporter: After participating in "The Giver", you have a more fondness for movies with mythological aspects, right?
Brandon Siweitz: Yeah, it's attractive to me, and I think I've had a good experience now that I've finished shooting. The Giver is a great opportunity to present my emotional acting skills. I played a teenage kid in it who had never experienced feelings before. To play such a role, I need to empty myself to find a more human side. When I was acting in this movie, it was similar to the previous movie, but the scene in this movie was more grand.
Reporter: A lot of actors, including Gerd Butler, have made their way into Hollywood with these kinds of commercial films, are you prepared to do that?
Brandon Siweitz: No, my dream was to go into Hollywood through drama, a film with layers, a film that I could go back and help me through action, sci-fi, like Fassbinder, you could say he was a great theater actor, but he also did x-men and other great films. I feel like I'm just starting out now, just like he was then. I've always wanted to try more genres of cinema, whether it's horror action romance or drama. And my two most recent films, God Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean, are fun films that have given me the opportunity to work on these surreal films.
Heroine Saya Cotney ▪ Eaton vs Heroine Eros - Elotti ▪ Yuan
Saya
eros
In the movie, every character has their own adventure, which is extraordinary for an action movie
Reporter: This movie is a big production, but what attracted you to make this movie?
Courtney: Before I knew what kind of film it was, what attracted me when I read the script was the love sections in it, and how they fit into the plot.
Ellotti: And I think the characters in it, whether it's Baker, Saya, Horus, Seth, Hasol or whatever, each of them has their own unique adventure, and I think those factors are what makes this script excellent.
Courtney: This is very unusual for an action movie.
Ellotti: Yeah, so I think it's very distinctive, and I think Alex has been very successful in creating a spectacle sci-fi blockbuster and at the same time making the audience care about the characters in it.
Reporter: What were your impressions when you were making this movie, especially when you saw all the special effects?
Courtney: That's completely beyond my imagination. I saw a little bit of special effects when I was making the film, and when I saw it, I was surprised and said no, and then they told me that I hadn't seen it for one percent of the movie! So when I saw the whole movie I couldn't believe what I saw, it was amazing.
Ellotti: I was very touched when I sat down and watched, because I felt like I had entered the world that had been created. I just wanted to spend 2 hours admiring the world.
Reporter: In this era, there are many female characters to take on the side, what do you think?
Coatney: I think a lot of people are surprised because the focus has always been on men, but I think girls can be very good.
Elotti: I think there are more women playing these roles now because we love doing them. I love playing Hossol, and you love playing Saya. They are all very independent female characters.

Reporter: This movie is a big production, but what attracted you to make this movie?
NICOLA: It's complicated for me, and when I read this script, I thought it was crazy, and I was thinking how is this movie going to be made? Then I talked to the director about the pictures he showed me some special effects and I started to get really excited because I knew I could join them in making this very big movie. The film is not a prequel or a sequel but a story of his own, which I find very interesting.
Gerrard: I feel like I'm making a very fresh and special movie. I could fully invest in making this movie for everyone. What's more important is that I think this script is very good because it has a deeper meaning in it, and during the journey of this movie I was inspired to be inspired.
Reporter: In the end, the battle between Seth and Horus was very fierce, can you tell us a little bit about this battle?
Nicola: The scene of the final showdown is at the end of the pyramid, on top of that obelisk. First of all, it's a very complicated fight scene that should be filmed for us, and there are high and low inside, so everything is up and down. So it's a complicated bridge and it's obviously dangerous. But we prepared for a long time.
Gerald: We finally got the fight training ready, it was a big fight scene, and then they took us to the scene and we found out that we had to fight on these stairs. These stairs are big and tall, big and very high. But sometimes our feet have to be there. Sometimes when squatting, you will be blinded or your eyes will be rubbed. I was actually angry on my first day because I felt that if I continued, we would definitely get hurt or have fewer eyes.
Nicola: He's the friendliest guy in the movie. Until one day, because I never worked with him. 0, but he was like a child until that day, he stood there the spear in his hand was broken and nothing was right, then he threw the spear straight down, and went down angrily. However, I found myself stuck on the steps and could only continue to reshoot helplessly.
Gerald: Because it's so dramatic, my character is mad there again. It makes me even angrier when you find out you've made a mistake and are still on that step.
NICCOLA: It was really discouraging, but the picture was beautiful, and that was the most important thing.
Reporter: This movie has some shadow of Spartan 300 Warriors, and that movie is your famous work. What are your thoughts on the clash with King Killer in Game of Thrones?
Gerald: That's right, we're good, we're all very helpful, but there's a lot of competition at the same time. So it's Spartan 300 Warriors vs. Game of Thrones, but that takes the movie to another level. I'm sure the audience would love to see such a showdown.
Nicola: The stuntmen did a great job, and they made it safer and easier for us to do.
