    "It's hard to explain how I felt when I accidentally watched the newly released horror film "The Exorcism Video" in the theater. I was so amazed by its horror and pain that it occupied me. At the end, my eyes were a little wet and I almost burst into tears. There were so many  It hasn¡¯t been like this in years. Director Yunick Culler, you are such a bastard genius. If there is a chance, we must make a movie together.¡±

    ¡ª¡ªMaster of Horror and Thriller, Stephen King¡¯s Blog

    Just as his novels can scare people to the point of cardiac arrest, the film he recommended this time scared many people and made everyone at Lions Gate scream. He was not invited by anyone, but he praised it so highly and even intimately.  Saying that Kuhler is a bastard genius sends a clear signal:

    I am following you closely and am very interested in collaborating with you to shoot something. Contact me.

    In the field of movies, Stephen King is an active member. Not only as a screenwriter, he likes to make guest appearances, play small roles or even star (198 "Pet Sematary"), and he also worked as a director (193 "The Fire Demon").  "Car"), he has also become a producer in recent years and has produced several TV mini-series. In the past two years, he has started to produce movies, including a TV movie "The Diary of Ellen" and another "Journey" 60  100,000 production fee) only received 130,000 box office (100 theaters opened in one week), no good results.

    ¡°But these are B-level movies that focus on the video disc market, and being a producer is just like playing cards.  Even if the box office is 0, Stephen King is still an indispensable master in the horror world. Studios are producing projects adapted from his works every year and will continue to do so.

    Not to mention that Stephen King¡¯s new and old novels continue to sell well, and he will always have his lofty status.

    So he is not a reclusive person, but his activities always attract the attention of the media and the public.  If you recommend a horror movie with such excitement, of course you should report it

    Along with the reports, there are also some true or false news. Some media say that the situation of Stephen King and Frank Darabont's new collaboration project "The Mist" may have changed, and he wants the mysterious newcomer Culler to take over.  This news is not very reliable, because Darabont is the producer of "The Mist". What is more reliable is another news. There is new progress in the remake of "Carrie" (1976), which has been rumored for many years.  Looking for Cooler to shoot the new version

    But first, the question is: Who is Yunik Culler?  ?  ?

    Rotten Tomatoes has already expressed this confusion with almost zero information, and the media who are reporting on it are also very surprised. Everyone wants to get such a news picture, with Stephen King on the left and Unique Culler on the right, but there is no way to find it.  No photos of Culler

    It¡¯s not on INDb, it¡¯s not on TPT¡¯s official website, it¡¯s not on Google Images¡­ It¡¯s not available anywhere.

    For the mystery of the mockumentary?  Then why are there so many behind-the-scenes stills, with Andrew Grande and others showing up, but this most crucial person is nowhere to be seen.

    What¡¯s even more dumbfounding for the reporters is that they couldn¡¯t contact Culler at all and had no contact information. They tried to contact Lionsgate, Cliff, Grande, and Portko. They either said, ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± or ¡°Kuller.¡±  "I don't want to be interviewed by the media" Then it's okay to take a photo, "Kule doesn't want to be exposed"

    What the hell is this?

    In the end, the media could only call him "mysterious", and the picture could only include a picture of Stephen King on the left and a TPT poster on the right

    The reputation of the mysterious Culler and TPT is undoubtedly soaring rapidly. The film critics are a handful of fuel, and Stephen King is another handful of fuel. Together they make the TPT rocket rumble into the sky.

    95TM degree, 83 likeability degree which dropped slightly, and INDb which did not fall but rose.  4 points, the light of terror is like the cold wind of the moon, blowing into the hearts of more and more people

    The media have to continue to pay attention and report, because the results of new films are not reported on this, and there is nothing to report this week.  So although TPT is just a small seedling that suddenly appeared, everything about it began to come into public view.

    Cooler is getting attention, and so are the actors. When I opened INDb, I found that they were all acting in film and television works for the first time, and these people teamed up to give a wonderful performance.

    Among them, the most watched actor is undoubtedly "Maggie" Nina Dobrev. She has been praised by film critics enough to win a Saturn Award (specially awarded for science fiction and horror films) for Best Actress nomination.  With her youthful hotness, a nomination for Best Shocking Performance at the NTV Movie Awards is guaranteed, as long as TPT can be released on a large scale.

    It¡¯s my first time to act in a movie, but I have such an amazing performance and such a good appearance. I am definitely a potential new star, at least in the horror, thriller, mystery and ghost genre.

    At this moment, the ecstatic Lionsgate did not miss the opportunity to publicize it. It quickly publicized the amazing reviews it had received and released a series of behind-the-scenes footage of TPT to the media (which should have been done during the publicity period). This was completely  Leave people in disbelief.

    ¡ñAll the actors in the film are amateur actors and art school students. This is their first video performance together.There will be no rehearsals throughout the entire period.

    ¡ñThe production cost was only 60,000, a large part of which was used for the copyright fees of the script and the ending song "TecdlOf-Ieae".

    ¡ñThe film production took only 18 days, including 4 days of pre-production, B days of shooting, and 6 days of post-production.

    ¡ñThe original story was inspired by The Exorcist and The Blair Witch Project. It took Huck Potko and Andrew Grande three years to complete the original script.  After Yunik Kuhler took over, he made substantial revisions and reconstructed the story theme, character settings and the development of the second half of the story.

    ?¡ñ Yunik Kuhler was responsible for part of the photography work. The scene where the photographer fell down in the film came from his real photography accident, and the blood in the snow was his blood.

    ¡ñThe insurance company refused to cover the scene where Maggie runs barefoot in the snow. Yunik Kuhler originally wanted Maggie to wear a pair of red shoes, but Nina Dobrev insisted on completing the filming barefoot.

    ?¡ñNina Dobrev was born in Bulgaria. She immigrated to Canada with her parents when she was two years old and has since settled in Toronto.  From an early age, she showed great passion and talent for the arts: dance, gymnastics, drama, music, visual arts.  She is a lover of sports: soccer, volleyball, swimming, rock climbing, rowing, skiing and horseback riding.

    She is a skilled rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, and jazz dancer, and is now a member of the Canadian Rhythmic Gymnastics National Youth Team. All of Maggie¡¯s shots were done by her herself

    In the film, Maggie¡¯s mother Amy is Nina Dobrev¡¯s mother Mihaela, an artist.

    ¡ñWhen the film was looking for distribution, it was rejected by almost all distributors until Lionsgate was willing to cooperate in distribution.

    ¡ñThis is the first film of Yunik Kuhler. He has served as director, screenwriter, producer, editor, scorer, photography assistant, and art design assistant.  Because he is unwilling to be exposed personally, all relevant contracts have portrait protection and information confidentiality clauses. He only disclosed his gender and approximate age to the outside world, a young man under 2 years old.

    This information is simply a shock, making the media and fans who are paying attention dumbfounded at first sight, as if something with a probability of one in a billion is happening before their eyes, 18 days?

    Under 2 years old?  Culler's "exact" age has been revealed for the first time.  This is definitely a child prodigy age

    Don't compare with Ye Wei. "Movie prodigy" Steven Soderbergh made his debut film "Sex, Lies and Videotape" when he was 2 years old, and Culler made TPT when he was 2 years old. And he did it in a way that is not inferior to Ye Wei, and also  Not inferior to Soderbergh's all-round attitude, genius, absolute genius

    Excitement People inevitably feel excited and expectant. In North America, an Asian genius has to be very, very talented to make people so excited. A white boy who is nine times out of ten is a genius?  This is enough to make mainstream society explode

    Now that it has perfect reviews, if "The Exorcism Video" can earn more than 10 million US dollars at the box office, it will become a small-budget, high-end movie like last year's "Wedding Day", "Napoleon", "Thriller" and "Saw".  A box-office commercial miracle

    Yunik Culler will shake the world

    At the same time, almost all distributors, as the TPT film review said, were panicked, in pain, and almost cried

    "Exorcism Video"?  ?  ?  Did someone call before and ask about the joke being released?  The joke of a mockumentary that is a remake of an old movie and is enough to exploit it once?  The joke that the DVD release is not enough and wishful thinking of theater release?

    Who is Yunik?  Yunik-Cool?  unike kule

    "Everyone in the distribution department of New Line Cinema couldn't laugh. Miramax, Newmarket, Dimension, IDP Magnolia, Thin Line, Think Pictures all couldn't laugh.

    "And Rogge Pictures, Alliance, Fountainhead, and Zeitgeist, who had watched the film and even negotiated the sale, had earthquakes in their corporate headquarters.

    "What's going on? Tell me, what's going on?"

    In Santa Monica, the headquarters of Fountain Picture Company, the voice of suppressed anger that could burst out at any time echoed in the not-so-spacious CPO office. Mike Pradley, the CPO and boss, walked around angrily, and Luo Luo, the director of the film acquisition and distribution department,  Bivington stood by the desk with a dead look on his face.

    "What was your judgment at that time?" Pradley walked back to the desk, but couldn't sit down. "I want to know why we lost it."

    How dare Swinton honestly say that he watched it for about five minutes, but he had long forgotten what he watched. He only remembered that it was a boring and bad movie, but he didn¡¯t really know he watched it while watching it.  He reluctantly shied away from responsibility: "The producer who came to sell the film had a very bad attitude. I made some comments, but he told me to shut up, and the interview ended."

    ¡°¡­¡± Pradley took a deep breath and almost roared, Damn it¡¯s 95 Rotten Tomatoes Freshness, Stephen King wants your opinion?

    He sat down angrily, his middle-aged face was a little distorted, and said: "Robin, after all, you just think it is a bad movie. ThisA serious error in judgment. This was originally a good opportunity for us, but what do we have now?  "Palindrome".  "

    "Palindrome" is the new work of Todd Solondz, who was famous for his "Welcome to the Dollhouse" (1995). Fountainhead spent a lot of money to buy its distribution rights and even held a critic screening for it.  The shop serves big stars.  As a result, it only has Rotten Tomatoes freshness and no media attention. The worst part is that in the third week of its release, the largest B theater has only collected hundreds of thousands in box office, but it has already been on a downward trend, and it can¡¯t make any money from theater distribution.  .

    He made his own decision to buy "Palindromes", but it is impossible for Swinton not to be responsible for losing the "Exorcist Video"

    What a great opportunity! If I had bought it at that time, even if it was just a collaboration, no matter how much the box office it would make, it would definitely have made some achievements in the distribution of DVDs.  For a company with a poor financial situation, this is no different than a water source in the desert. How can it be interested in foreign literary films such as "Milk and Honey" and "King and Queen" but lose TPT?

    "Mikeyou really can't blame me. I remember the movie being very different from "Blair Witch."

    Swinton was about to explain again when his boss choked him: "If you didn't think it was very different, would it have received the praise it does now?" Swinton quickly said: "It's not an art film, it's a B-level exploitation film, so  I didn¡¯t consider the critical response¡­¡±

    "I really don't understand." Pradley punched the table. "Why can Lionsgate always buy good movies, but we always miss out? What do you think? You also know that we are a small company. We want to  A film like "The Exorcism Video" can support it."

    "I know" Swinton became restless after being scolded, and continued to explain: "But from a commercial perspective, it is not that good. It is a tragedy. The film critics will like it, but the audience may not necessarily like it."

    There are still some words in my stomach: What are you arguing about? Is it a hit now?  There are so many independent films that have been praised by film critics. Roger Ebert also gave "Palindrome" a B6 star. Is "Palindrome" a hit?  Every film can be sold, and if it wasn't a pseudo-documentary, if Stephen King hadn't suddenly gotten involved, there wouldn't have been so much media attention.

    "Not necessarily? It's a horror movie, but you still say it's not necessarily" Pradley finally couldn't help but yelled, "If it's a mistake, it's a mistake. We can't make this kind of mistake again, otherwise it won't just be yours."  Position, this company is going to go bankrupt. You'd better pray that TPT really doesn't have any box office Otherwise, otherwise

    The boss didn¡¯t say anything else, but Swinton knew what would happen otherwise. He felt depressed and chilly, and of course he was really praying: God, let that piece of shit be painted quickly.

    "Otherwise I'll be in big trouble."

    Under the same sky, on the other side of the Allens Company, there were almost identical calls for accountability and exculpation. Ken Wellman, the head of the department, was sweating profusely.

    ????????????????????????????? If any company is feeling sad, there will definitely be no shortage of these three: DreamWorks, Playstone, IP
