Comic Con Russia This year left after himself dual impressions. On the one hand, the convention itself has not changed a drop. All the same two halls, all the same companies with their stands (unless the Nintendo pattern has grown to completely monstrous sizes), all the same shops with comics and accompanying goods. How all this looked this time, see in our photo reports (one and two and three).
On the other hand, as we have already mentioned in the preview, the guests this year were much cooler – Christopher Lloyd, Rutger Hauer and Richard Garriot. But telling about it the point does not make any reason. Such events are needed precisely in order to see the warmth in the eyes of Brown's aged Doc and hear how to swear deliciously from the Hauer scene with his hoarse voice.
But what can and should be discussed is about numerous presentations and shows that took place all four days of exhibition. Among them were unexpected, impressive, weak and disgusting.
But let's talk about everything in order (let this order is very conditional).
Rutger Hauer answered questions about the new “Running Blade” frankly – the fact of the existence of the film is unpleasant for him.
Disney
By tradition, the most crowded, most exclusive and the most secret (phones and generally seized all the equipment at the entrance) was the presentation of Disney. Four videos showed the public, not one of which is online and will not be for a long time. The first was " Thor: Ragnarok ", Whose concept trailer we saw last year. This time we were shown a scene with the participation of the inimitable Jeff Goldbamum, which, apparently, will become a real decoration of the film. And in general, Tyka Waitty creates exactly what they expected from him-a hilarious action comedy with an amazing visual row.
Then there was an excerpt from " Black Panther ", Which will come out somewhere in February. From the film it is worth waiting for at least vigorous hand -to -hand battles (T’Challa, although it wears a super coconut, does not know how to fly and shoot missiles) and a charismatic villain performed by Andy Surkis. We only hope that the script will allow one of the most outstanding actors of our time to show your talent without digital makeup.
It was impossible to shoot at the Disney conference, so once again look at the trailer for the third “Torah”. He is amazing.
The most lively and rapid reaction of the hall was caused by a video dedicated to a romantic comedy (!!!) " A man-man and a wasp ". Filming is in full swing, and the press and the audience need to show something, so the movie bosses simply put Paul Radd and Michael with a stump in front of the camera and asked them in their own words to retell what was happening in the Marvel universe for all these ten years.
Well, they retelling. It turned out damn bitterly.
Not, of course, without " War of infinity ". They showed the same trailer that the duckling in the preschver quality from Comic Con in San Diego. As it turned out, these work materials and graphics will be significantly dopile. But even in raw form the video is impressive. All characters of the Marvel cinematic universe will really participate in the fight against Tanos. How the creators will be able not to turn all this into a wild carnival, where each hero, except for a couple of the main ones, is at a minimum of screen time, the devil knows. But once the same skepticism was felt in relation to the first “avengers”, so maybe it would cost.
Surprisingly, the "star wars" on a press scraise were not even mentioned, as well as the "last hero".
Plague Doctor
From the adaptations of American comics, we will move on to domestic. We were still mistaken in forecasts, and “Major Thunder: The Plague Doctor” is really the first full-length film from Bubble, and not the second short meter, as expected. The plot teaser was represented at Comic Con, which Artyom Gabrelyanov and director Vladimir Besedin were shot in the summer in the atmosphere of complete secrecy.
In the video (he is already walking over the network in medium quality), a boy of about ten years old is famously dissecting in St. Petersburg on the skate when a friend sends him a link to a video where a certain avenger in a mask of a plague doctor calls on all the non -indifferent to go to a bloody struggle with lawlessness in Russia. The schoolboy is so impressed by the rhetoric of a self -proclaimed judge that the stupid rushes home to quickly put a paper airplane and launch from the window at the indicated hour – so the doctor called on his followers to show how many of them are many. At the end of the teaser, as you might guess, hundreds of aircraft cut the sky over Peter.
At the end of the trailer, paper planes also flew into the hall.
From a technical point of view, the teaser is made at the same high level as the February "Major Thunder". Bubble Studios again tried to turn St. Petersburg into a fictional city like Gotham, and they did it. Sound and music are excellent, but everything was removed initially in English and only then duplicated into Russian. Alas, the realities of the business – Artyom Gabrelyanov and his like -minded people are guided primarily by the Western film market. In Russia, the film may not shoot, and Americans really do not like to watch films in dubbing.
And excuse me, we cannot ignore the ideological aspect. It is clear that the comic book, based on which the film was shot, was released five years ago, but to release a picture in 2018, where the main villain is a fighter with corrupt officials, popular thanks to YouTube and calling for all kinds of mass shares, very carelessly. The target audience can go on the moves and, indiscriminately, put on a “Major of thunder” a stigma of propaganda. And in some ways there will be rights.
The mystery of the Dragon press: Journey to China
What we could not suggest is that the materials on the sequel "most amazed us" Viya »2014. Yes, the same one that went to 3d. He, if anyone did not know, gathered a very decent cashier, so the creators immediately began to work on the continuation.
" Wii 2 "He" The mystery of the Dragon press: Journey to China "(Aka" The secret of the iron mask ") – an example of the first full -fledged collaboration of Russia and the Middle Kingdom. Both in our country and in the PRC, the film will be released in the status of a national blockbuster and will receive powerful state support. As producer Alexei Petrukhin said, this is the only way to make a project of such a scale and with such a budget at least any profitable. Only in Russia does fate are waiting for him " Viking "Who, with a powerful PR campaign, almost did not bring profit.
The last trailer for the film was published more than a year ago. A monstrous amount of time is leaving for post -production.
The audience was shown a working version of the new trailer with still raw computer graphics, green screens and cables on the actors. And damn it, it looks cool. It remains only to hope that the capacities of the postproaches is enough to bring the final picture to the level that is conceived by the creators.
But at least one scene does not need a schedule – Jackie Chan’s fight with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes, real. Many were afraid that they called the stars only so that they stood in the frame for a couple of seconds, but not. They will have a full -fledged joint scene that all the fans of the militants have been waiting for from childhood from childhood. Schwarzenegger plays the head of the prison (with a sonorous surname Fist) in the London Tower, and Chan – the concluded master of eastern martial arts. It is felt that Jackie himself was engaged in the production of the battle. It has acrobatics, the active use of the environment, humor – in general, everything we love for " The armor of God "And other hits of the main stunt of our time.
One of the main intrigues of the film is the personality of a person in an iron mask, to which Jackie Chan's hero helps to escape from the dungeon (he can be seen in the chant from the trailer). Thanks to the phrases and some incidents that were carelessly scattered by the creators (the producers did not know that the promoterias were already transferred to Russian) we managed to fold the puzzle, but we would not spoil. Casiroom Casino Let's just say that it is so bold and absurd that it delights.
All different
Sergei Lukyanenko, along with director Sergei Mokritsky, presented the film adaptation of his novel " Draft ". The film will be released in March next year, and a little later the series will appear. Moreover, this is not a full meter mounted from one season, as often happens, and the same scenes are shot in different ways for cinema and television version. Case, according to the creators, an unprecedented. At a press conference, several arts were demonstrated and talked about filming. Trailer is expected in the coming weeks. As for the series " Watch ", Then he, according to Lukyanenko, is in a limited state. The script of several episodes is ready and expects a statement from the TV channel. For a long time.
Sergey Lukyanenko already saw the film, and he liked him.
Producer and director Dzhanik Faziev brought materials on the convention on the film " Goalkeeper of the galaxy ". According to the plot, the aliens occupy the earth, arranging local apocalypse, and after some time they invite the local population to play the planet through a certain analogue of cosmic football. It sounds as absurd as sadly known (or, conversely, unknown) " Dancing to death ". It is clear from the video that the picture will be in full of computer graphics, as well as practical special effects and complex makeup. It looks good, but aliens are indecent to Rasu Azari from the Mass Effect series.
The creators of the historical action movie " Scythian »Put the drummers in national costumes and under their performance launched a long film trailer. So far, it is very similar to some kind of "viking" from a parallel universe. Why from parallel? Yes, because the promotion of the picture does not hit all the cracks, although less than two months are left before the premiere. There is no one in fact. How the creators are going to lure spectators for a film that no one knows about is a mystery.
Director " Gogol "Egor Baranov and Alexander Petrov presented the series" SPART ", In which the minds of youth captured the VR game of the same name with the deepest immersion. The creators emphasize that the project was shot three years ago, when not a single company has yet released helmets on sale, so it is rather a fantasy on the topic of virtual reality than a kind of topical. It is not yet clear that we will get in the end – a creative technocriller or another agitation on the theme of “Game – Evil” from people who have nothing to do with the games (although Baranov admitted that he loves Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed).
Graduates of VGIK prepare a very ambitious short film based on the Harry Potter cycle, called " Magic is above all ". It will be a half -hour gloomy, almost noir thriller about the brewing war between Moscow magicians and ordinary mortals, as well as about a lone dissenting hero who is trying to stop the massacre. Of course, the team of former students could not afford the purchase of rights to the legendary franchise, so there will be no direct references to Hogwarts and other. But there will be magic sticks, live portraits and other special effects, for the improvement of which the creators intend to collect money through crowdfunding. The premiere is expected somewhere in February.
Short film about Russian wizards.
Here, it seems, is all that we remember at Comic Con Russia 2017. We did not mention comic novelties, since we talked about everything in the preview, and did not mock the TNT channel, whose presentation of Comedy "" Zomboyanik "Passed even worse than we could imagine (for understanding the scale of the disaster: there were jokes in the style of" halk tasteless, because green "). As you can see, CCR quite a bit, but has grown. There really became more projects, and the schedule is more saturated and more diverse. He still lacks much to become an event for which it is really worth throwing everything and going to Moscow, say, from another city, not to mention the country.
But development is in full swing. Let's see what Comic Con Russia will surprise us in a year.
Part of the photos used in the material was taken from the official photo bank of the gamemaker-2017 and Comic Con Russia on the Fotoezh website.ru.
