On the set of the film “The Bell” (2003 film), the actors were preparing to pretty much scare their audience, but few of them had sufficient experience in the horror film genre. I had to rely entirely on the director’s installation in work.
Plot and actors
A mysterious death overtakes four teenagers, and the mother of one of them asks the famous journalist for help in investigating all the circumstances. The main character agrees and herself is in danger. The girl learns about a strange video tape. All victims watched this record before dying, and then received a call from an unknown person with a warning of imminent death - seven days later. After watching each of the adolescents had a week of life.
The only way to survive this trap was insanity. So it was with the fifth victim, the girl survived, but remained forever a patient in a psychiatric hospital.
Fear is closely intertwined in the intrigue of the acute plot, and the audience in the cinema remains in constant tension. When “The Call” (film 2003) was released in Russian, the post-Soviet space received a new “round” of the popularity of horror films. Our viewers saw him almost a year later than Western countries.
The full cast of the horror film "Call" (2003 film):
- Rachel Bella
- Paulie Perrette
- Sarah Ryu.
- David Dorfman.
- Davy chase
- Naomi Watts.
- Martin Henderson.
- Brian Cox
After participating in the film, each of the actors will live a successful cinematic life in his future career. The names of the main actors will become known around the world.
Brian Cox
A native of Scotland was born in the postwar 1946 and raised by older sisters. At their insistence, the boy from the age of 14 will be in the troupe of one of the local theaters in his homeland.
The future actor grew up in a family with a small income. My father worked at a slaughterhouse and died when Cox was 8 years old, and his mother was distinguished by poor mental health. Acting skills were a salvation from poverty and poverty for the future actor. Over time, in this profession, he will become a "favorite" for many film directors. For a long time he will play in poetry films without much popularity. But over time, his talent, experience and a good acting school will demand Hollywood.
Actor with a capital letter
In the film “The Call” (film 2003), the actors called it a great success to work with Brian, such an experienced performer of the role of Richard Morgan significantly simplified the filming process. In cinematic circles, the Briton is an example of an actor with a capital letter. Directors of paintings with huge box office at the box office relied on him. Among other things, in one of the roles he applied his talent to Bourne Identity.
He also strengthened the cast of a number of Hollywood masterpieces by the most eminent directors. Cox himself does not limit himself to any genre in the choice of roles and shows an example of versatility in the acting profession.
Martin Henderson
Even at a young age, a gifted child decides to try his hand as an actor and attends auditions. Soon, on one of these tests, the young man is noticed, and Martin makes his debut on the screen. After some time, at the age of 22, he will become famous in one of the television series, and from that moment on, the guy will make big "steps" in his career. For over 20 years, Martin has remained a recognizable and sought-after actor in television and in cinematography.
For the horror film “The Call” (2003 film), the actors received good reviews, including Henderson, who heard laudatory words about themselves, and critics then had to note Martin’s successful work in a new genre for himself. On the set, he turned 28 years old, it was in that work that the guy showed himself to be a diverse actor on the screen. Further in his career, this quality will only be confirmed; comedies, horror films and action films are awaiting him.
Martin Henderson was born on New Zealand in 1974, at 23, to build a career, he will move to the United States and settle in New York. There, for some time, he will still improve his acting skills. After that, he will become one of the most recognizable actors in the world. At the moment, he is 42 years old.
Naomi Watts
The future movie actress as a child joins the theater through the hobby of her mother - an amateur actress. At the same time, Papa Naomi worked as a manager in show business, with such parents the girl quickly became involved in art in its various manifestations. Later, Watts will perform dozens of major roles.
Naomi Watts was born in England in 1968. After the divorce of her parents, and later the death of her father, the girl moves to Australia with her mother as a teenager. There, she improves her acting skills, begins to attend auditions for films and various television projects. The first role will be received in his second homeland, the debut of Naomi will take place at the age of 22 in a melodramatic film.
On the set of the horror film “The Call” (2003 film), actors from the number of partners in the shooting of Watts and the director himself had to reckon with her experience. But even the performer of the role of journalist Rachel Keller at that time was not too familiar with this genre of cinema. Prior to that, the Australian has played in only one horror film at a more or less high level. I had to master the features of the genre already at work, on the set of this picture, Watts turned 35 years old.
Grand remake
When the premiere of the film “The Bell” took place (film 2003), the actors and roles were subjected to fierce criticism. After the rental, all skeptics found themselves in a very difficult situation and were forced to recognize the undeniable success of the picture. Moreover, in the coming years, the horror film was even a trendsetter in this genre. The more offensive was the creators of the original version, the fact is that the American tape was only a remake. Previously, a film of the same name with the same plot was released in Japanese cinema.
Even before the filming, the creators of the American version understood how big the effect would be on the idea of a Western audience. A few years after the premiere of the film “Call” (film 2003), reviews, box office rentals and time testing confirmed their calculations.
