"Starship Troopers". Actors and filmmakers

Fantastic thriller "Starship Troopers" (actors: KV Dean, D. Richards, D. Meyer, N. P. Harris, D. Buszy) - a film reminiscent of a suitcase with a secret double bottom in which snide grinning dissidents Verhoeven and Heinlein contrived to drag dubious ideas through the iron curtain into the bulwark of democracy.

Like-minded people

Robert A. Heinlein was able to predict half a century ago the development of globalism and totalitarianism in a post-industrial society, and Paul Verkhovene boldly and with a fair amount of cynicism managed to film a novel that has not lost its relevance. However, it can not be unequivocally asserted that the picture strictly corresponds to the literary source, it will be more correct to note that the tape was created based on the novel's motives.

With the claim for superposition

"Starship Troopers" is a film whose actors did not resist the offer to take part in the shootings from the author of the cult fiction insurgents "Remember All", "Robocop" and the "Basic Instinct", which was sensational in its time. It is not surprising that the director was meticulously considering candidacies of the actors, because he aimed at a super-set. As a true professional, realizing the win-win idea, Verhoven turned to the usual subgenre of science fiction. The writing of the script Paul entrusted Edward Neumeier, who only used the main motive of the book, to a greater extent using the personal experience of writing scenarios to futuristic fighters. From "Robocop" the director invited Phil Tipet, a leading visual effects specialist, who realized his wild fantasy, especially in the frames of bloody battles.

From the actor's group "Remember All" Verhoeven invited Michael Ironside, who was supposed to share his experience with the whole casting of the movie "Starship Troopers". The actors were puzzled why the director's favorite this time appeared before the viewer not in the usual noble guise.

Plot. Stamps and templates

The narrative narrative begins with the acquaintance of the viewer with the distant future of mankind, in which the united state tries to resist the raids of the mesopacostal giant beetles. In the sequence of events, in the construction of the structure of the picture, the director deliberately uses the stamps existing in many military-themed films. During the shooting of the film "Star Troopers" the actors established the correspondence between the earthly battles of the previous years (landing in Normandy, tank battle on the Malakhov Hill) and space battles. In addition to transferring template situations, the director intentionally manipulates characters' characters, and quite ironically. There is among the heroes of the tape and an ambitious rookie, under the care of a seasoned sergeant turning into a mother warrior. And a sharp, tough, but just lieutenant, dying in an unequal battle with the enemy. Frontal romance, love and the predicted death of a war friend. In general, for half the audience Verkhovena's project "Starship Troopers" (the actors also differed in opinion) looks like a real comic book, for another part - an ironic parody of all kinds of patriotic war films.

Actor composition. The main actors

Casper Van Dean is an American actor, who became world famous after the embodiment of the image of Johnny Rico. Due to this role, Wang Ding began to receive a lot of proposals from directors and producers. Since 1998, he is a popular actor, his filmography is impressive: "Tarzan and the Lost City", "Sleepy Hollow" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." In 2008 he again had to become Johnny Rico in "Star Assault 3: Marauder". Although reviews of his work in the 1997 draft were mixed, many criticized the acting skills of Wang Deen. In general, Casper was not the only one who smiled luck after the release of the action movie "Starship Troopers". Actors, whose photos adorn all the posters, consider their participation in the Verkhovyna project a significant milestone in their careers.

Dina Meyer considers the image of Dizzy Flores in the "Starship landing" the best role in his career. It is difficult to agree with her, because her other heroines (Jane in Johnny-Mnemonics, Kara in "Heart of the Dragon", detective Kerry in "Pila") are not less juicy and colorful. Her deserved award actress received only in 2003 as the best actress in the second plan of the film "The state of the psyche."

Secondary, but not less bright

"Starship Troopers" - a film whose actors performed the role of exceptionally positive characters. Unfortunately, even among the performers of secondary and episodic roles there is no characteristic and clearly expressed image of a negative character, the creators gave the role of antagonists to spiders.

Jake Busy, from early childhood poking at the film expeditions, played private Levy. Then there were secondary roles in the paintings "March Cats", "Identification" (2003). Today, the actor changed his vocation and realizes himself as a drummer and bass player.

Michael Ironside demonstrated brilliant professionalism, having earned positive reviews from both film critics and ordinary viewers, whom it was unusual to see him in the image of a positive character. Traditionally, the actor got the role of villains or cruel military, there were both at once. By the way, ironically, or the desire of the authors, all the characters in the actor in practically every movie lose limbs. In the "Star Assault", the hero Michael had a prosthetic hand, and his feet were later eaten by a beetle tanker.

Denise Richards - ex-model and actress. Colleagues on the shooting noted not only the dazzling beauty of the girl, but also a pronounced charisma, a creative approach to work. Denise played one of the most important roles in the film "Starship Troopers", the actors and roles in which, thanks to the efforts of the authors, perfectly matched each other.
