Alfonso and Jonas at the press conference. The opening gala is tomorrow (Oct 18), but I guess Sandy won't be there. Alfonso said very nice thing about Sandy. twitchfilm.com/2013/10/gravity-mexico-city-conference-with-alfonso-and-jonas-cuaron-plus-photos-gallery.html(The part he talked about the cast) Q. How was working with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, two movie icons? JC: For me it was a great learning experience. Since we wrote the script we had clear the journey of both characters but it wasn't until they came on board that we began having conversations about character development. In this film, we invested everything in the protagonist and if not for Sandra we wouldn't have achieved that emotional connection with the audience. AC: They (Bullock and Clooney) understood this was a movie with not many dialog. They got the concept immediately, that at any given moment the dialog could be fundamental. I can't imagine Gravity without Sandra, and not just the final result but also the process. I have never seen anybody working like Sandra. Before the filming, this woman practiced for five months, doing daily exercise routines. The technological conditions were going to be very demanding, so there was also an abstraction exercise because she was acting with nothing around. Everything was a matter of precise choreographies, rehearsed by her weeks before, as if she was a ballerina. Each position and the timings were programmed through computers that informed some robots placed in the cameras. She had to adapt to positions pre-established so it was a big challenge for her. On the other hand, working with George Clooney and Sandra Bullock is a life insurance. There's no film critic who gives bad reviews to Clooney and Bullock because that's like shooting pandas! It's something you just don't do. |
