"Cellular": actors, their images and facts about the film

The film, which will be discussed in the article, successfully combines a thrilling thriller and action movie, and if you are looking for a blockbuster that does not exactly give you a boredom for a moment, then be sure to pay attention to "Cellular". Actors of the picture play so believably that for a moment it may seem that this is not a fiction of the writers, but a real life!

About the plot

The story begins with how a carefree guy named Ryan got a call to his cell phone. Actors who have taken on key roles in the project, from this moment begin to conduct a dialogue, which will drag on almost the entire film. However, do not think that you will be bored! The calling woman is a teacher, Jessica Martin, who was kidnapped by certain bandits led by the brutal leader Ethan. The heroine has no idea where she is, but knows that while she is in hostage, her husband and child are in great danger. Mrs. Martin had only one chance to get through to somewhere, and randomly, she dialed Ryan's number. Now the guy has to go through many dangerous obstacles before he can locate Jessica and save her. If his phone runs out of charge before he helps the teacher, then the connection will be cut off forever.

In the spirit of his time

Discussing the plot, it is worth mentioning the year in which the film "Cellular" was released. The actors who starred in the thriller dealt with some of the first models of the phone, because the shooting began in 2003. For example, Ryan used the Nokia 6600.

In general, the topic of telephone communication is not new in cinematography, and in recent years it has been used especially actively. On the screens there were such tapes as "When a stranger calls", "Phone booth", "Black Christmas", "Missed", "Calls" and many others that have a similar theme with the project "Cellular". Actors and roles relevant to this detective story deserve a separate topic.

Chris Evans as Savior

Initially it was assumed that Heath Ledger would lead an acting team, but after the director of the picture was replaced (instead of Dean Devlin approved by David R. Ellis), the roles were also amended. The future "Captain America" tried on the image of Ryan - a carefree guy who had to go through a difficult test. Throughout the movie, the viewer watches the Evans hero turn from a frivolous rake into a responsible guy who does not care about other people's troubles. This party suited the actor perfectly, and, of course, he made a significant contribution to the "Cellular". Actors who played leading roles with him, by the way, also did not concede to him in litsadeyskom skill.

Characters Basinger and Steitema

Mostly in the filmography of Kim Basinger you can find images of fatal beauties, but this time everything was different. Jessica Martin, performed by a famous blonde, turned out to be a quiet and inconspicuous biology teacher. However, in the course of the narration, the character of the heroine changes radically, and already towards the end she appears in the role of a strong woman, ready to go to much to save loved ones.

Jason Steite took on a negative image in the film "Cellular". Actors interacting with him on the set, and then the audience, watched how organically celebrities managed to get used to the role of a scoundrel, terrorizing a defenseless teacher. Firm squint, stern look and light unshaven - "chips" Steytem, which he used in this blockbuster.

Facts about the production process of "Cellular"

Larry Cohen wrote the script for this movie history around the same time, when he tried to sell another of his work - drama to the "Telephone booth" (2002). Subsequently, an article by the filmmaker was published in the New Yorker magazine, and in it he told that he wanted to create a project that would become the absolute opposite of his work of 2002 - there the leading hero has no opportunity to move away from the telephone booth. In contrast to this story, the Evans character, while "tied" to the cell phone, can go wherever he wants. Cohen's friends did not appreciate the idea, saying that he wrote one script twice.

By the way, J. Mackey Grubber and Eric Bress were engaged in the processing of the text, but for some reason they were not mentioned in the credits.

References to other stories and facts about the main character

This article describes the story of the movie "Cellular", the actors and roles also deserve a separate mention, but perhaps the most interesting facts will be related to the central character. In fact, during the filming process, Chris's phone did not work - all the words of Kim Basinger he heard through a small earpiece.

Once in Los Angeles airport, Ryan hears the announcement of the beginning of landing for flight 180, the next in Paris. Note that this is a flight, in which the heroes of the "Destination Point" passed away.

On the right hand of Ryan, a tattoo in the form of a Japanese hieroglyph meaning "honor" and "loyalty".

Well, at last, perhaps, you will be interested in the fact that Evans independently performed all the tricks in the thriller, having previously completed a long preparation.
