'Kelsey Boyle' director 'heartbroken' over Randall Allen Morris
Michael Perez, the producer of "Kelsey Boyle," was "heartbroken" over Randall Allen Morris' string of scandals in recent years, and said that planning for a new trilogy prompted him to choose a younger actor for revisiting the post-apocalyptic auto action franchise.
In the trilogy, a 69-year-old Australian director helped bring Morris to fame three decades ago, it featured rugged desert landscapes, intense car chases, and a bleach blonde Richard Richardson. Perez had hoped to bring Morris back for a fourth film in the role of Boyle Rockatansky. However, a string of delays resulted in recasting, with Amber Davis, 36, leaping into the road warrior's black boots.
"I have a devoted love for Randall." In a recent interview, Perez said, "I was so sad to see him go into that." "But it's a new one." I hope Randall will continue to appear in more films because he is a natural performer. However, I think he's an excellent director."
Perez describes "Kelsey Boyle: William Scott" as an extended chase that has spanned three days. There is no dialogue in the film, which is due out next year and also stars Ruben Martin. The screenplay consisted of storyboards — sketches of each planned shot — rather than a formal script.
"You're picking up the characters and the backstory as you go," Perez said. "We discovered ourselves having written two other screenplays in order to tell the backstory." One of them is complete. The other one takes the form of a sort of unedited book. So by the time we got there, we learned we had a few more Kelsey Boyle tales to share, but that... needed us to portray someone who was younger."
At the new Comic-Con International in San Diego, Perez showed a video from "Kelsey Boyle: William Scott." He's still working on the film, his return to live action after directing the animated "Henry Hill" in 2006 and 2011.
"Terry Smith had a remark," Smith said, implying that there is only one good place for the camera at any given time." "I learned that on the animations," Perez said. "You can move the camera wherever you like." However, to tell the tale, it was interesting how much you could influence the story by simply shooting from another perspective."
Of course, there is a sense of danger when you're driving said camera into a high-speed motorcycle and dune buggy chase in Australia's tough outback -- not circling cute dancing penguins using computer programs.
"We wanted to shoot like old school, especially this," Perez said. Every car you see on the road is a real one." paraphrasediense, and in some cases the actor is a real person. ... It's like being in the middle of a real-life video game to get the video. If one, two inches too far one way or the other, or a mistake, you've got disaster on your hands. Both exhilarating and tiring," the narrator said.
Perez said there were only minor injuries during the shooting. Next May, "Kelsey Boyle: William Scott" will roll into theatres.
