"Movie 43": actors, plot

Фильм сам по себе является альманахом.It consists of several short scenes - sketches. For each scene, individual directors were hired. The plot of the sketches themselves did not overlap with each other. Sketches were filled with absurdity and psychedelia. Some moments were actually shocking (for example, stool on the face). Scenario picture was written in the 2000s. However, due to the extravagant content, no studio wanted to participate in the project. Also, the problem was in the selection of actors. As the director intended, they should have been of the first magnitude. Hugh Jackman, Katie Finnerand and Chloe Moretz were among the first to agree to participate. After the rumor went around Hollywood that such celebrities had signed a contract, director Peter Farrelli had no difficulty in gathering the rest. Since the studio allocated very little money, Peter used a variety of methods to attract actors. For example, Richard Gere was not notified that there would be several more scenes in the film. And Greg Kinnear and Katrina Bowden were Farrelli's personal friends.

Connecting line

All sketches were united by one storyline.Two teenagers discover information about a movie called "Movie 43" on the Internet. Then they begin to search for the file, but they do not find any references in open sources. Therefore, thanks to hacking skills, they find several separate videos of a supposedly banned film and watch it.

No more than 5 are involved in short scenes.actors (without extras). At least two of them are top stars of American cinema. This is the main idea of ​​the film. According to the director, the audience will be ready to give any money to see Hugh Jackman with the genitals around his neck.

Production

Farrelli was worth a huge effort to collect allteam to participate in "Movie 43". Actors of this rank were constantly busy, and their schedules did not often coincide. For example, Gerard Battler at this time was shot in three more films. George Clooney initially agreed to participate, but then refused. Halle Berry did not agree until the other participants were confirmed. The shooting of each episode took only a few days. Because they did not require special decorations or unique places. Most of the scenes were shot in New York, because the actors did not agree to disrupt their schedule. For example, Richard Gere agreed only on the condition of filming in the city. Leslie Bibb, who played Wonder Woman, set the condition that her maximum participation in the production would not exceed 3 days, after which she wanted to refuse to participate in Movie 43 at all. Actors were afraid that shooting in such a provocative picture would harm their reputation.

Reputation Concerns

For example, Bobby Kannavale plays most often dramatic roles, his characters are always serious and courageous. And participation in such a "dirty" comedy could harm his image in the eyes of the audience.

To prevent such problems from worrying applicants, Farrelli recruited a special team of agents. They talked for hours with representatives of the actors and literally persuaded them to withdraw in the film.
