Seville blasts off for Orbiter 9
Editorial +1 310 922 5908
Buyers prep for balmy TIFF BY JEREMY KAY
BY JEREMY KAY
Seville International chief Anick Poirier and her team kick off sales here on Hatem Khraiche Ruiz-Zorrilla’s Spanish feature directorial debut Orbiter 9. Ruiz-Zorrilla wrote the elevated sci-fi from Cactus Flower Productions, Mono Films, Narcos producer Dynamo and Telefonica Studios. The story centres on a woman alone on a deep space mission, after her parents abandoned ship some 20 years ago. Her world is turned upside-down when a lone engineer arrives. Clara Lago, Alex Gonzalez, Andres Parra and Belen Rueda star in the film, which shot in Spain and Colombia. Cristian Conti and Miguel Menendez serve as producers.

As the industry descends on a temperate Toronto, buyer interest heated up around Venice hit Jackie ahead of Sunday’s North American premiere and Netflix reportedly circled a global streaming deal on The Bad Batch. Completed films in the festival, such as Pablo Larrain’s Englishlanguage debut and Lily Ana Amirpour’s second feature, represent one kind of opportunity for buyers, albeit one that has prompted familiar gripes about a lack of broadly commercial must-haves. However, the late arrival of a handful of enticing packages on the
eve of Toronto has quickened pulses for savvy buyers willing to risk early investment on select prospects. This time last year, Paramount pounced on a promo reel for Florence Foster Jenkins and Stephen Frears’ film has amassed $24m and counting in North America. So all eyes will be on thriller Labyrinth, a Good Universe sales title from Good Films to star Johnny Depp. WME Global and UTA handle US rights. WME Global and Good Universe will also shop sci-fi Kin, to star James Franco, while CAA will introduce the package Inner City with Denzel Washington, and
brings a promo reel for Rebel In The Rye, a Bloom international sales title financed by Black Label. Bloom will talk up Paul Weitz’s adaptation of love story Bel Canto, set to star Julianne Moore, Ken Watanabe and Demian Bichir, with WME Global representing the US. There should be plenty of interest, too, in Papillon starring Charlie Hunnam from Red Granite International. Buyers will be chastened by the ongoing trials and tribulations of Nate Parker and festival selection The Birth Of A Nation. It remains to be seen how closely they will vet relatively unknown talents before snapping up rights.

XLrator Media revs up for Werner Herzog’s Salt And Fire XLrator Media has swooped on US rights to Werner Herzog’s Salt And Fire ahead of its North American premiere here as a Special Presentation. Michael Shannon, Veronica Ferres and Gael Garcia Bernal star in the eco-thriller, produced by Nina Maag, Herzog, Michael Benaroya and Pablo

catastrophe. The film shot in Bolivia at Salar de Uyuni salt flats and in Germany. Benaroya committed to the project shortly after working with Herzog on Queen Of The Desert. XLrator Media’s Barry Gordon brokered the deal with Lea Flome of CAA and the distributor plans a
spring 2017 theatrical release. “In a career spanning six decades, Werner Herzog has dazzled and challenged audiences with his unique cinematic vision,” said Gordon. “We’re honoured to bring audiences his thought-provoking and very timely environmental thriller.” Jeremy Kay

Voltage launches Fun mom-com BY JEREMY KAY
Voltage Pictures, which is representing five films at this year’s festival — Colossal, The Headhunter’s Calling, LBJ, The Secret Scripture and The Journey Is The Destination — will launch international sales this week on Fun Mom Dinner. The ensemble comedy from June Pictures and Gettin’ Rad Productions stars Katie Aselton, Toni Collette, Bridget Everett and Molly Shannon, and is timely in light of the $100m-plus US boxoffice success of Bad Moms.
Alethea Jones wrapped the Los Angeles production in July and makes her feature directorial debut from a screenplay by Julie Yaeger Rudd. WME Global handles North American rights to the story about a quartet of pre-school mothers who get together for a night of frivolity that takes an unexpected turn. Adam Scott, who runs Gettin’ Rad Productions with Naomi Scott, rounds out the cast with Adam Levine, Rob Huebel and Paul Rust. Voltage president and
COO Jonathan Deckter and Christian Eimer brokered the deal with Glen Mastroberte of Latham & Watkins and WME Global. “We are very excited to work on our first project with the incredibly talented creative team that June Pictures and Gettin’ Rad have assembled,” said Deckter. “I am sure the universal themes of friendship, parenting and most of all, every mom needing a night out, will translate the world over.” June Pictures chairman Andrew Duncan and CEO Alex Saks are also in production on The
Florida Project, Sean Baker’s follow-up to his critical darling Tangerine. The company sold Operator to The Orchard earlier this year. Gettin’ Rad Productions produced Chris Kelly’s Sundance hit Other People, starring Jesse Plemons and Molly Shannon, and comedy The Overnight starring Jason Schwartzman and Taylor Schilling. Voltage is also in Toronto preselling Icon Productions’ The Professor And The Madman, which will star Mel Gibson, Sean Penn and Natalie Dormer.

SC Films lands China’s Big Fish BY ANDREAS WISEMAN
SC Films International continues to grow its ties with China following the acquisition of hit family movie Big Fish And Begonia, which grossed more than $85m at the local box office earlier this year. The fantasy animation, inspired by classic Chinese literature, tells the story of a deity, in the form of a girl named Chun, who seeks adventure in the human world. She encounters a fisherman and they forge an unlikely friendship, putting them both in great danger. Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun directed from an original screenplay by Liang. Zhang also doubled as the production designer. Producers are B&T Studio and Colo-

Radiant’s Toronto sales roster includes two world premieres: Carrie Pilby starring Bel Powley screens tomorrow as a Special Presentation, while Irish comedy Handsome Devil debuts in Contemporary World Cinema on Sunday.

increase its ties with China. Big Fish is another beautifully crafted film, with proven commercial success. It’s one of the biggest worldwide independent hits of the year. The film will appeal to adults as well as children around the world.”
Magnolia promotes execs Magnolia Pictures president Eamonn Bowles has promoted John Von Thaden to head of acquisitions, Dori Begley and Matt Cowal to co-executive vicepresident, and Sarah Hack to head of business affairs and legal. “To a person, they have exceeded expectations every step of the way,” said Bowles.

La Grassa previously served as Toronto-based Mongrel’s brand specialist, home entertainment, and joined the company in February 2014.
Film Mode picks Rose Los Angeles-based Film Mode Entertainment has acquired international sales rights to Jerry Lewis-starrer Max Rose and is introducing the film to Toronto buyers this week.

La La Land Reviewed by Fionnuala Halligan Starry-eyed and saturated with pure romance, La La Land revisits many of the narrative themes of Damien Chazelle’s debut, Guy And Madeline On A Park Bench, for a jazz-infused, jewel-coloured musical, infectiously scored by Justin Hurwitz. Suffused with love — for Los Angeles, the films of MGM’s golden age and Jacques Demy, and its intensely appealing star-crossed leads Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling — Chazelle’s dream-like follow-up to Whiplash is as la-la-light as its title, and looks set to tap dance its way into the hearts of incurable romantics everywhere. The energetic ambition cannot entirely paper over the storytelling softness at its core, though Linus Sandgren’s driving camera works hard to distract. If Whiplash — also scored by Hurwitz, like Guy And Madeline — cracked with tension, La La Land is its polar opposite. There is so much love and lightness here that Chazelle’s film could — and does — take to the air. Offering the most simple of boy-meets-girl plots, Chazelle relies heavily on Stone and Gosling to work their movie-star charisma to a punishing level. As the modern yet timeless lovers Mia and Sebastian, they sing, affectingly, and they dance, well enough. They are immediate romantic icons, faces full of love and longing, torn between life and their art.

La La Land is classic dream-factory escapism, shot on the Warner Bros lot in anamorphic Cinemascope in 35mm (with an unusual 2.52:1 ratio). A long-gestating project for Chazelle, it riffs, like Guy And Madeline, on two lovers whose dreams may not be compatible with their art. She is an actress; he is a jazz pianist (John Legend, a co-producer, plays a band leader who buckles up the score). As a drama, this is less nourishing than the heritage to which it pays tribute. But for Chazelle, the story is just a slight rib around which he builds a modern rhapsody. With its love for Los Angeles, movies, actors, music and Paris, it feels like the giant adoring love child of everything from The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg to Round Midnight to An American In Paris. Chazelle sets out his stall — and the film’s strong colour choices — with an exhilarating opening sequence set on a gridlocked Los Angeles freeway. Starting with the sounds of car radios switching their stations until their inhabitants emerge to break out in the full, Fame-style production number ‘Traffic’, this is fluid, bravura film-making, a joy to watch. The sequence is built around Sebastian (Gosling) and Mia (Stone), motorists who have a hostile encounter before she goes to her job in a café on the Warner Bros lot, a depressing audition, and then home to her apartment, where a
giant picture of Ingrid Bergman watches over her bed. Mia and her flatmates then swing into an irresistible rendition of ‘Someone In The Crowd’, complete with a dizzying Hollywood pool sequence. La La Land is not without its issues. The track back from this show-stopper to Sebastian’s unfulfilled life in an unfurnished apartment is a hard cut, and the film’s momentum stalls until the couple sees each other again in JK Simmons’ restaurant, where Sebastian is thumping out Christmas carols. A fun piece at a party where Sebastian plays ‘I Ran’ picks up the pace again, and soon they are dancing in the moonlight, driving up to the Griffith Observatory as things — literally — take off. Moving airily through the seasons, La La Land acquires its poignant topnote through its epilogue, a late what-if thread that is beautifully played out by Chazelle and matches precisely the themes of Guy And Madeline with its lingering regret and longing. A clear line runs through Chazelle’s three features, each hammering away at his theme: music, love and art, can they live together? He is fond of dropping the lights until everything in the film fades out beyond a solitary figure; the film falls away at the end of La La Land, but the thoughts behind it linger on. Perhaps it is not so la-la light after all.

Arrival Reviewed by Fionnuala Halligan Extra-terrestrial forces arrive on Earth in Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival — seemingly to make a smarter version of Contact, Robert Zemeckis’s 1997 close encounter film in which Jodie Foster was the first human to join the dots. This time, it is Amy Adams, playing a linguist (as opposed to a scientist) with a dead daughter (as opposed to a father): she is the “chosen one”, and her sorrowful back story gives this competent sci-fi its added resonance. In a crowded genre, Villeneuve’s picture is distinguished chiefly for being so richly realised and executed, gifted with an almost symbiotic score by his regular collaborator Johann Johannsson. With further thematic parallels to Interstellar, the more intimate Arrival begs — like all good sci-fi — a spaceship-sized suspension of disbelief. If The Martian hit a home run due partially to its sense of humour, Arrival’s USP is its introspective heroine and the larger-than-life question she becomes a vehicle to pose. Fans of Villeneuve’s recent films Sicario and Prisoners will not be surprised to find him probing at human impulses, but they may be disappointed at the lack of tension at play, when Arrival goes into wide play mid-November. The film is based on the sci-fi short story Story Of Your Life by Ted Chiang, which burrowed deep into linguistics and the Sapir-Whorf Theory — the idea that our view of the world is

shaped, if not determined, by the language we speak. This is placed in the context of a politically divided planet that is in danger of misinterpreting the aliens’ intentions and launching a war of its own making. So, posits Eric Heisserer’s script, the greatest peril facing Earth is simple misunderstanding — a problem that a human, theoretically, should be able to solve. That human is Louise Banks (Adams), a professor of linguistics who is still mourning the unexplained loss of her husband and death of her only child to cancer. When 12 spaceships, which look like giant hanging lozenges, park themselves across the planet, the desperate US military (via Forest Whitaker) contacts her to try to decipher what the aliens’ squeals might mean. Soon, she is walking through a ship’s honeycomb interior, brandishing a sign with the word ‘human’, and rashly taking off her biohazard suit in an attempt to communicate with the seven-tentacled squid inside. If spaceships do arrive on Earth — and Villeneuve does a good job of imagining how that day might play out — it is to be hoped the authorities have more available resources than a depressed university professor, but Louise’s vast promotion is explained away by the fact she recently interpreted an Isis communication in Farsi and still has security clearance. With a tentative global political alliance coming apart at the seams — led by bad boys China and Russia, who take to their guns — Louise’s
time to find a way to communicate with the visitors is cut perilously short, as is a halfhearted flirtation with her theoretical physicist counterpart (Jeremy Renner, who isn’t given much to do). Villeneuve brings a real visual refinement to Arrival — something that bodes well for his currently shooting Blade Runner sequel. Working with a new DoP, Bradford Young, the Canadian director delivers a range of lucid imagery from Louise’s empty lakeside house to the Montana camp that has been set up outside the elaborate alien vessel. The orange biohazard suits turn an ominous black in relief as the team enters the ship, and there is a real sense of darkness descending. Production designer Patrice Vermette has also brought credible worlds to the screen here, although it is Johannsson’s score that unifies the piece, seeming to almost speak its own language. In terms of the aliens, much of Arrival’s dramatic thrust has been explored before (Close Encounters Of The Third Kind is another parallel). CG is nicely executed but it almost feels as if Villeneuve needs to move through this, and the linguistic sideshow, to focus on what he really cares about — Louise’s personal dilemma. Arrival becomes an unexpectedly moving rumination on life’s bigger questions by its end. While it looks at other worlds, its main pleasure turns out to be the most intimate of questions.

Nocturnal Animals Reviewed by Fionnuala Halligan Tom Ford takes his stylish shears to Austin Wright’s intricate 1993 novel Tony & Susan, cutting and splicing to re-assemble a gleaming array of images in a narrative Russian doll. With its layered stories and multiple timeframes, Wright’s book is both an introspective meditation and a brutal fantasy; a West Texas revenge thriller wrapped inside a personal crisis. Ford respects the source material while making some audacious tweaks to deliver a dark, modern thriller that veers towards overstating its case but still remains highly effective. Acting credits are notable, from twin leads Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal to Michael Shannon as a hard-bitten Texas detective and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a Southern ne’er-dowell. Ford’s name as a fashion designer and reputation from the Oscar-nominated A Single Man in 2009 should help lift this release through Focus — which paid $20m for the rights last year — in its prime November awards-race slot. Its greatest success, though, will more likely come at the multiplex, where its shiny designer art-thriller mix should straddle high-end demographics on an international level. As a screenwriter, Ford has made some bold choices in a complex adaptation. For the present day sections, he cannot resist the call of artworld porn: the high-sheen opening of the film,

set at the opening of a gallery run by Susan (Adams), is both gratuitous, impressive and a sign of things to come. Aged, naked, overweight cheerleaders gyrate in a hail of glitter and fireworks as the credits play out; it is the film’s own designer ad campaign. Susan has been lifted from the role of housewife and distracted mother in the source material to a high-net-worth habitué of the art-world A-list, the kind of woman who lives in a glass box overlooking Los Angeles and has a Jeff Koons in her garden. (Like an Almodovar piece, Nocturnal Animals name-drops art pieces with gay abandon; Damien Hirst’s ‘St Sebastian, Exquisite Pain’ even gets its own sequence). Susan is no longer unhappily married to an unfaithful doctor, but a hunky Wall Street millionaire (Armie Hammer), whose business is in trouble. She also has an omnipresent mother (Laura Linney), a monied Texas matron draped in pearls from whom a young Susan fled to marry, and quickly dump, Edward (Gyllenhaal), an impecunious, weak, romantic writer. Now, 19 years later, Edward has sent her, through the post, the galley manuscript of his new novel that he has dedicated to Susan: it is called Nocturnal Animals, and it is a creepy revenge thriller centred around masculinity and power. As the pages of Nocturnal Animals come to life, Ford cuts back to Susan reflecting on her
own existence. In a terrifying sequence played straight down the line by Ford, the father character in the book, Tony (also Gyllenhaal), takes his wife Susan (Isla Fisher) and young daughter (Ellie Bamber) on a night-time drive through Texas to their annual vacation, but the car is run off the road by aggressive yokels (led by Taylor-Johnson and Karl Glusman) and every father’s worst nightmare ensues. Cutting back and forth to Susan today and this film-within-a-film, and then switching further back to Edward and Susan’s courtship, Ford proves himself adept at juggling multiple narrative strands. Some of his artistic choices are more challenging, however: awarding Susan a best friend (Andrea Riseborough) with a gay husband (Michael Sheen) is purposeless really, beyond filling a cocktail party with Baccarat crystal, designer gowns and high-end jewellery, while characters declaim, “Nobody really likes what they do,” and, “Our world is a lot less painful than the real world.” But perhaps that is simply the fashion designer’s personal statement, superimposed on Wright’s material. He is certainly at ease with these scenes. With his second feature, another bold adaptation of a cherished modern American novel, Tom Ford has shown he is capable of taking complete control to make all the changes necessary to get exactly what he wants.

INTERVIEW ANTOINE FUQUA
I
f there is a sense the fraught state of race relations in the US and the #Oscarsoswhite backlash has created some expectation of a response from cinema, Antoine Fuqua would argue that misses the point with his latest film. Yes, the director has populated his remake of The Magnificent Seven with a diverse band of do-gooders led by longtime collaborator Denzel Washington — in stark contrast to the all-white saviours of a Mexican village in John Sturges’s 1960 predecessor. Besides Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke and Vincent D’Onofrio, Fuqua’s eponymous crew saddling up to save a mining town from villains features Seoul native Lee Byung-hun, Mexican actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Martin Sensmeier, who hails from an indigenous Alaskan bloodline. No doubt such diversity will put smiles on the faces of globally minded marketing suits at co-financiers MGM and Sony Pictures. Fuqua, however, seems in no hurry to piggyback onto a movement and made his casting decisions for other reasons. “I never felt about it as making a statement,” he tells Screen, prior to the film’s world premiere as opening-night selection in Toronto, two days before it closes Venice Film Festival. “It was closer to the truth in that the west was a mixed bag of people coming from everywhere,” the film-maker continues. “The Mexicans were coming from another region and you had people from Europe and the blacks were obviously here and the Asians were working on the railroad tracks, so it was more diverse than what we see in westerns.” A broader geopolitical awareness is at play, too: “If you take a group of people who are terrorising [another] group, everybody has to gather around those who may not be as strong to help, against the odds. That’s what it was about for me.” Childhood spur Like so many young boys, Fuqua grew up loving westerns and their myths. “It’s like a boyhood dream to be a cowboy when you see that stuff,” he says. “The Magnificent Seven is special because I watched it with my grandmother. They were the coolest guys in the world at the time, Steve McQueen and Yul Brynner.” When MGM CEO/chairman Gary Barber and his cohorts approached Fuqua in early 2014 to read a script by Richard Wenk and True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto, the film-maker was preparing Southpaw but was heartened to see the story bore the genetic imprint of Seven Samurai, Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic that inspired Sturges. “This could

SPOTLIGHT NOCTURAMA
Youth in revolt Bertrand Bonello speaks to Melanie Goodfellow about his highly charged Paris-attack film Nocturama, which opens the second edition of TIFF’s Platform showcase today
Nocturama
B
ertrand Bonello is a director who has never shied away from potentially controversial subject matter, from his 2001 feature The Pornographer to his more recent unauthorised biopic Saint Laurent. When he wrote the first draft of his latest film Nocturama, however, he had no idea just how sensitive the material would become. The suspenseful work follows a group of young, anti-establishment revolutionaries who orchestrate a series of simultaneous bomb attacks across Paris and then regroup in a luxury department store to lie low and disperse the next day. Its production and release come at a time when France and the rest of Europe remain on high alert following a series of deadly terror attacks over the last 18 months by supporters of the so-called Islamic State militant group. Inevitably, although the spirit of Nocturama and its protagonists are not related to Islamic State, the film has taken on an unexpected resonance. Bonello conceived Nocturama in 2010 while working on his period drama House Of Tolerance in response to a “palpable social tension” in the air and his sense that the status quo needed to change. “It was a tension you could touch, a sensation that an explosion was imminent, that was the starting point,” says Bonello, who also wanted to make something “ultra-contemporary” as a counterpoint to House Of
Tolerance. “I didn’t want to make a film full of political discourse. I wanted to make an action film, a genre film even. That seemed the best way for me to express this feeling of tension. I wanted the discourse to be in the mise-en-scene.” The film-maker cites John Carpenter’s Assault On Precinct 13, George Romero’s Dawn Of The Dead and most importantly late UK TV producer and director Alan Clarke’s medium-length work Elephant — tackling the Troubles in Northern Ireland — as sources of inspiration. “It’s an incredible film. It’s a 40-minute political film without a word but by the end you understand the meaning of a civil war,” says Bonello of Elephant. “It was ordered by the BBC to speak about the conflict in Northern Ireland. There are 18 scenes. In each one, a man walks up to someone in the street, shoots them dead, then there’s a shot of the dead person and the film kicks off again. It’s hypnotic.” Nocturama’s screenplay was also informed by French 16th-century political thinker Etienne de la Boétie’s essay Discourse On Voluntary Servitude, exploring how human beings allow themselves to be suppressed, as well as the 2007 French political tract The Coming Insurrection. Bonello elicits powerful performances from his young cast, combining emerging professionals — such as
18 Screen International at Toronto September 8, 2016
Gang Bang and Les Cowboys’ Finnegan Oldfield and Manal Issa, the star of Danielle Arbid’s Parisienne — and amateurs. “Half the cast are professionals like Finnegan. The rest we found on the street, in political spaces, demonstrations and meetings,” says Bonello. The film went into production in the summer of 2015, just months after the attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris at the beginning of that year, and was in post-production at the time of a series of attacks on the capital in November 2015, including on the Bataclan concert hall, which killed 130 people. After the latter violence, Bonello and producers Edouard Weil and Alice Girard at Rectangle Productions decided to change the film’s original title of Paris Is Happening to Nocturama. Bonello took the name from an album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (Cave happily granted permission to use it). Considered response Cannes Film Festival director Thierry Frémaux is reported to have liked the film but felt he could not show it so soon after the attacks in Paris and then Brussels in April. In retrospect, Bonello feels Frémaux made the right decision: “Now there have been quite a few press screenings, I’ve noticed that a lot of journalists say they need time to think about the film. At Cannes, the journalists don’t have time. They need to tweet immediately, write immediately, come up with an opinion immediately.” For his part, Bonello is at pains to distance his film and its protagonists from
‘I didn’t want to make a film full of political discourse. I wanted to make an action film, a genre film even’ Bertrand Bonello
the supporters of Islamic State, or Daesh as it is commonly referred to in France. “There is no connection. This film is in a completely different space. It’s clear from the start the young people in the film aren’t assassins. Their targets are perceived symbols of oppression while Daesh attacks symbols of liberty. There’s a big difference in their ideologies,” he says. Regardless, the film is still likely to prompt debate following its international premiere at Toronto, as the opening film of the international directors Platform programme, as well as at subsequent screenings at San Sebastian and then at the BFI London Film Festival in October. Bonello notes a generational divide in the response at post-screening debates in France, where the film was released on August 31. “The younger members of the audience got the premise. Their questions tended to be about the filmmaking. The older members tended to focus on the relationship between the storyline and reality,” said Bonello. “I’m really curious to see how it goes down s internationally.” ■

PRODUCTION FOCUS FREE FIRE
Brie Larson in Free Fire
Firing on all cylinders Ben Wheatley talks shooting guns and cameras on the set of Midnight Madness opener Free Fire and reveals how Martin Scorsese came on board as executive producer. Michael Rosser reports
A
n actor screams as a van runs over his head in a darkly lit warehouse in Brighton, on the south coast of England, and a final deafening shot is fired from the gun in his hand. The nearby film crew let out an audible gasp before the performer picks himself up, joins the director to rewatch the moment and says: “You sick bastard.” Welcome to the visceral world of Ben Wheatley, the UK director behind hitman horror Kill List, dystopian satire HighRise and now Free Fire, a 1970s-set action thriller in which an arms deal between two gangs turns into a bloody shootout. Wheatley’s growing stature as a filmmaker has attracted an all-star cast that includes Brie Larson (hired before her Oscar win for Room), Cillian Murphy, Armie Hammer, Sharlto Copley, Jack Reynor and Sam Riley. “I’m a big fan of crime films and action and, after HighRise, I wanted to do something in which I could indulge that side of film-making,”
says Wheatley, who tailored the script — co-written with his regular collaborator (and wife) Amy Jump — specifically for Peaky Blinders star Murphy. “Cillian liked Kill List and Sightseers and asked to go out for drinks,” Wheatley recalls. “I’ve always liked his stuff so I thought about what we could do together. About a year later, I sent him this.” Old school Free Fire marks Wheatley’s first film set in the US, and its late-1970s setting was both a nod to crime thrillers of the period, such as Walter Hill’s The Driver and Dustin Hoffman-starrer Straight Time, and an acknowledgement that modern technology does not always lend itself to this genre. “The mobile phone has ruined tension,” argues Wheatley. “I wanted to make something that was from a simpler time in terms of action. Today, films have more cameras spinning around and shaking. Free Fire is very deliberate and

muscular. It goes back to a style of filmmaking from the ’70s but also the ’80s with films like The Terminator, where there is weight and consequence, even in a fantastical setting.” After making High-Rise with Jeremy Thomas’s Recorded Picture Company, Wheatley made Free Fire through Rook Films — the company he launched with producer Andrew Starke in 2008 — with backing from Film4 and the BFI. With a
budget that was “a bit less” than the $7.8m (£6m) spent on High-Rise, finance for the film came together smoothly as a result of the genre approach and cast. “It is the first movie we’ve done that completely pre-sold in every territory,” says Wheatley of the work done by international sales agent Protagonist Pictures. Studiocanal has UK rights and has pegged a release date of March 31, 2017; A24 will distribute in the US and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions has several other territories including Latin America. “Because is it much more of a commercial prospect, the machine was on our side. People were ready to get behind it,” says Wheatley. The film’s relatively trouble-free path was also helped by Martin Scorsese boarding the project as executive producer, along with his production partner Emma Tillinger Koskoff. “When [Scorsese] was making Hugo, he’d said in an interview that he’d liked Kill List,” recalls Wheatley. “Our agents got in »

contact with each other, by which point he’d seen Sightseers. I went to see him in New York while he was editing The Wolf Of Wall Street. For me, that’s about as thrilling as it can get. Scorsese is one of the main reasons I became a film-maker.” After asking for scripts, Scorsese came on board and “had advice along the way” as well as “massively helping” with the casting. Alongside Murphy, there was a part written for Wheatley regular Michael Smiley. But Larson’s casting was “a complete fluke”. “I’d like to take credit for our clever casting of Brie but Room wasn’t even out at that point,” says the director. “We had no idea she was going to blow up and be so famous, so that was really cool.” Sam Riley and Armie Hammer also joined the project — the latter because Wheatley and Jump were big fans of the actor from The Lone Ranger. “He was bang up for it, straight away, which we were really surprised about.” Brighton rocks Boston Starting in June 2015, shooting took place over six weeks, with an empty warehouse on the outskirts of Brighton transformed into an abandoned factory in Boston. When Screen visited towards the end of the shoot, the sight of an actor seemingly having his head crushed by the tyre of a van proved a stark reminder that Wheatley insists on practical ‘in-camera’ effects. “I’d say about 99% of pyrotechnics in the film are practical,” he says of the effects, which include around 500 detonations and 6,000 rounds of ammunition fired. The van trick appeared so real that Wheatley had to reassure the actor by first carrying out the stunt himself. “I was absolutely fine until right afterwards, when I was a bit shaken and felt a bit weird,” the director recalls. “I’m not a naturally brave person so it was a bit traumatising. In the future, I don’t think I’ll be set on fire or shot through the air into a brick wall, but I can just about manage laying down and not being scared.” The set was equally convincing, dressed 360-degrees and comprising three levels of seemingly derelict corridors, offices and open spaces. Production design was by Paki Smith, who worked on two of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight movies (see sidebar). “It was like a living painting,” says Wheatley. “It’s rare to get a 360-degree set that you can get lost in and zoom down to an atomic level, retaining enough detail to hold up on film.” But the director insists that, while Free Fire is set in the late 1970s, he is not copying classic crime thrillers to achieve the same look. “Laurie [Rose, the DoP] and I had conversations about whether or not to shoot on film and try to mimic that ’70s look, but we are contemporary film-

makers and did not want to create a pastiche,” he says. Instead, Wheatley trained his sights on creating the sort of tension that he feels is lacking in many bigbudget blockbusters. “I was watching movies that had massive explosions and I thought, ‘Why am I not excited about this any more?,’” he says. “It is because the human scale of it is unrelatable. But if you shrink it right down, you can get something where the action is very subtle but becomes much scarier. It’s the small things that really get under your skin.” Free Fire receives its world premiere here at TIFF tonight, opening the Midnight Madness strand, and will close the BFI London Film Festival in October. Beyond that, Wheatley and Jump are writing a script for a remake of The Wages Of Fear, produced by David Lancaster through his Rumble Films outfit, with TF1 — which owns the rights to the original 1953 film — selling and financs ing through eOne. ■

FREE THINKER HOW PAKI SMITH DESIGNED THE FREE FIRE SET The look of the derelict warehouse that provides the setting for Free Fire was born from the mind of production designer Paki Smith, best known for his work as a set decorator on Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises. Arguably an additional character in the film, the warehouse was transformed from a clean, empty space into three floors of dirt, debris and detritus. Director Ben Wheatley, who was bowled over by Smith’s work as set decorator on High-Rise, suggested he look at Peter Yates’ 1973 crime thriller The Friends Of Eddie Coyle as well as William Friedkin’s The French Connection and Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing. “It’s very seductive, being on a set that’s 360 degrees,” says Smith. “It’s not often that you’re in that situation, unless you’re out in the desert. But, to
Paki Smith
be honest, it was initially more about the choreography than the look. The first thing I did when I got the script was to work out where the fuck everybody was. Nobody could do it. We ended up sat on the floor of Ben’s attic, trying to figure it out with toy soldiers. “I wanted it to be like a cowboy film,” Smith adds. “It’s like Once Upon A Time In The West… but in miniature.”

WE ARE NEVER ALONE A film by Petr Vaclav
Petr Vaclav takes a bleak snapshot of his home-nation, a confidently-handled peek into quietly desperate village lives. Built around a strong ensemble led by occasional Hollywood Euro-villain Karel Roden, it leavens its sharp-eyed scrutiny of social ills with a welcome streak of caustic, occasionally absurd humor. – THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER 08/09 12.30PM Scotiabank 5 (Press & Industry)
