Фильм "Chapter 27"

Actor Jared Leto plays Mark David Chapman during filming of the movie "Chapter 27" in Central Park, January 17, 2006 in New York City.

Стоит ли вообще снимать подобный фильм?

А почему нет?

А кто сыграет Леннона? Помнится в фильме "Форест Гамп" был эпизод с Джоном, что за актёр играл там? Очень похож.

>Стоит ли вообще снимать подобный фильм?

Я думаю стоит. Может быть фильм поможет понять почему чепмен сделал это....

Смешанные чувства - с одной стороны чепмен добился своего, про него фильмы теперь снимают (думаю это и было главным поводом для убийства), а с другой стороны это возможность увидеть последние дни жизни великого музыканта.

А действительно кто Леннона играет? В "Форест Гамп" Леннон был настоящий, просто чудеса монтажа - морду главного героя на плёнку с Ленноном наложили и всё.

А актёр похож,тот правда потолще будет....

Очень похож. Может и Леннон будет ничего?

Chapman film shoots outside Dakota

NEW YORK, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Actor Jared Leto has packed on the pounds to play John Lennon's killer, Mark David Chapman, in the movie "Chapter 27."

The movie -- being shot at the real crime scene, the Dakota apartment building in New York City -- chronicles the days leading up to Dec. 8, 1980, when Chapman shot the former Beatle to death.

The filmmakers have created some controversy by filming at the murder scene, the New York Post reported.

Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, still lives in the same apartment and Dakota security officials have been clashing with the filmmakers on a regular basis, the newspaper said.

The movie also stars Lindsay Lohan as a fictional fan who makes friends with Chapman the weekend of the killing.

Так филбм-то, по моему, не совсем про Джона будет.

2Prof:

Без Джона этот фильм как-то смысл теряет :)

А почему бы и не снять такой фильм? Главное сделать это талантливо.

По поводу Джона есть два пути:
1) Обойтись чудесами монтажа, как это было виртуозно сделано в "Форрст Гампе" Земекиса или в его же раннем фильме "I wanna hold your hand". Молодец Земекис.

2) Попытаться все же найти актера, похожего на Джона. Но, боюсь, мало кого из нас такой Джон бы устроил. Но попытаться можно.

Было бы любопытно устроить кастинг голливудских или европейских актеров на роль позднего Леннона. Может у кого-нибудь из форумчан будут предложения? Кто подходит и достоин такой роли?

Да, да, ведь в '66-ом проводился конкурс двойников МакКартни :) (Билли Ширз и всё такое:))

LET IT BE

Yoko Ono tried to stop the filming of a controversial new movie about John Lennon assassin MDC outside the Dakota this week - but failed to stop the crew from recreating tragedy on her doorstep.

"Yoko immediately checked if the Dakota building had the right to refuse them filming the facade, and found out that legally, all they had to do was to get the permission of the city," said Ono's publicist, Kip Kouri. The city already had granted the permits to Canadian film company Peace Arch.

Yesterday, Jared Leto and Lindsay Lohan, who play MDC and another Lennon fan, filmed on the same sidewalk where Lennon was killed 25 years ago.

While the city's decision saddened Ono, she has the sympathies of fans all over the world - who have expressed outrage over a film that could put MDC into a more sympathetic light.

"It's a massacre," said Stephen Spiro, the first police officer to the scene the night of Lennon's murder. "Horrible, horrible. That's why MDC killed Lennon. So he could be famous."

Fans, actors and extras remarked on the eerie scene outside the Dakota yesterday as a portly Leto - decked out in MDC's trademark glasses - prowled around the grounds for "Chapter 27," based on the final three days of the killer's life. It is set for release in 2007.

"Yoko doesn't like it," acknowledged background actor Richard Steadman. "She was against this. People who live here don't want to be bothered. Yoko came here with her head down."

Security for the building made sure filmmakers, actors and crew kept their distance from the posh entrance while fans gawked to see glimpses of Leto and 19-year-old starlet Lohan, who plays a fictional character that befriended MDC on the day of the murder.

A publicist consultant to the film company was unsure how many days the production company would be shooting outside the Dakota. "Chapter 27" is named for the so-called "missing" chapter of "Catcher in the Rye," the J.D. Salinger book MDC cited as inspiration for his killing. According to Robert Rosen's book "Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon," MDC wanted to write the final chapter in Lennon's blood.

Initially remarking that she had not read the script, film publicist Jenny Lawhorn said, "It is a period piece so we have 1980s-era set props. I can't give away how the movie ends but I'm sure you probably know what happens."

Fans were horrified that the movie was retracing the steps of the killer.

"Build a facade of the Dakota in Hollywood or somewhere else," said Alec Wilkinson, a writer who lives on West 75th. "It seems insensitive."

Visiting all the way from Grimsby, England, to see the former grounds of his working class hero and beloved Beatle was property developer Mike Robinson, who remarked, "It's glamorizing the act of the killing."

"I could see them building a set to do it someplace else," added Alan Weiss, a TV producer who was in the emergency room the night Lennon was shot. "Filming it outside your own home is kind of having your nose rubbed in it."

Retired officer Spiro said he found the entire movie in poor taste and expressed his sympathies for the Dakota's most famous resident.

"I'm surprised that with Yoko's power she wasn't able to stop the filming," Spiro said from his home in upstate New York. "I think that after 25 years, let it be."

Этот актёр менее противный, чем собственно "оригинал" :D. Может и к лучшему...
