“Motor City ‘Helmer Ponciroli Wed Action, Music, Scripts No Dialogue

Filmmaker Ponse Ponciroli (“Old Henry”) returned to Venice with “Motor city“A movie with about three rows of sound dialogue guided by needle-drops, a great grade and charismatic paragraph Alan Ritchson, Shailene Woodley and Ben Foster in love triangles and righteous revenge set in the 1970s Detroit.

The film opens, though, with intense actions such as Ritchson rifle on some opponents on the chest in the street, while the Bander of 1982. Year, David Bovie “cats” from the speakers. Kuentin Tarantino used a song in the Great Effect “Inglourious Basterds”, and Ponciroli says Foster’s listing was inspiration for use of that song.

“SO (editor) Joe Galdo was edited by film. And for that opening we tried 100 different songs, we tried a goal,” he says. But it was a “cat” from the Foster’s playlist list that was stuck in the head. Pictures of what seems like an abusive retaliation perfect match with the lyric “throwing fire with gasoline.” “It was such a movie vibration,” says Ponciroli.

“And then he tries to clean that song, you know, it was scary.”

“The motor city” is the story of John Miller (Ritchson), a former ranger of the army working at Detroit plant. It falls in love with Sophia (Woodley), which density dies the risk of drugs Kingpin Reinolds (Foster). But Reynolds, with dirty cops on his beckon and name, including powerful detective Savicka, who is John, who goes to jail. Reinolds is lying to Sofia about John and get married. This sets a true epic revenge story that includes John’s old armies and a lot of great action.

But without sound dialogue, up to two lines at the end. Despite the challenges behind the film written as a silent film, Ponciroli focused the film long lasting a film, but it was not until the last few years that he had the opportunity to board it. Chad st. John wrote a script. “Chad St. John did such an amazing job of the type of placing scene and painting this picture … But will it translate that?” Brine Calmer. “I think I thoughtfully thought,” yes, of course he would turn it. “”

Ponciroli didn’t want this to feel gimicki or obvious in hiding dialogue when people talk – for example, there is a scene in which the scene in which the scene is where Det is. Kent (Ben Mckenzie) and Sophia talk in the restaurant. The camera is pulled through the lake and behind the Grand Piano as we see them in heated exchanges as a musician (one of the Film Ecs manufacturers, Jack White), game.

“Really played with scenes and trying to find it well as you hide it without hiding it without being felt that it is hidden. So it was only two points”, but it had to innovate from the beginning. “

The “Reachers” Star Ritchson was the only actor who was attached to the film when Ponciroli came to the ship. He wanted Vouley for a woman lead. “So, one Saturday morning, I think I called her at 8 o’clock, and I said,” Hey, I have a scenario. No dialogue. It’s the 70’s Detroit, and that’s this love, and she’s that “I sent it. I called me 55 minutes later, let me make this movie, please, please, please!”

And then the next was an incentive. “Who’s The Enemy That Could Also Get Shailene? And I’m a Humongous Fan of Ben Foster. Heirdly, and I Live in Nashville, and so are Him. He Read The Script. And Went and Had Lunch With Him, And For About Two Hours, He Was Actually Standing Up In The Restaurant Next to My Table, Acting Out Like These Moments, “Ponciroli Says.

Also entours and throwing Lionel Boyce (“Medveda”) and Amar Chadha-Patel as a former Ranger, and Schreiber as a detective, which enters the vicious fight with Ritchson in the elevator. “Pablo is only phenomenal. … Ben Foster is not a truly mental match. It’s a pabla that this two is like that it’s like such a diot to conflict. And I think it’s like such a diot. Giants matches. And I think it’s like a game that’s like it’s like that’s like that like that is that it’s like that’s like that’s like that two big gigs in it. And I think it’s like that game to conflict. And so I think it’s like it’s twice. nice. ”

He hopes the Venetian crowd to appreciate the film. “I think the audience is smarter from people to give them a two-screen party, which is something that you can watch and be on your phone. And I want to do something you need to watch, and you don’t understand the phone, and you don’t understand.”
