Leoline Nast is adapted from Shakespeare's works. The original creation took place in ancient Rome, and the general Coe Leoline Nas was exiled because of his stubborn temper. Leoline, together with his former enemies, tried to attack the Roman Empire. Finally, I was persuaded by my mother, but I gave my life. The movie version moved the background to the modern Iraqi battlefield, and "Voldemort" became General Leoline Nast.

It is no accident that Ralph Fiennes chose Shakespeare's famous tragedy as the material of his first feature film. He played Coe Leoline Nast for the first time at Almeida Theatre in London. Since then, "I have been fascinated by this work and its characters. I have always had a strong intuition that I can put it in a modern background and make it into a movie."

The film was shot in Baghdad, but the lines were completely taken from Shakespeare's original works. Fiennes said, "Before and after the 9 1 1 incident, you can always see all kinds of pictures about the war in the media, from the mutiny in Chechnya, the demonstrations in Athens to the riots in Paris, and the economy was in chaos. Everything seems to have happened in a drama. " Shakespeare's Coe Leoline Nast was also triggered by an economic decision-making crisis.

Fiennes was confident that it was not difficult to bring Shakespeare's tragedies to modern society. "Deborah Warner put his modern version of Julius Caesar on the stage in 2005, and I played Anthony in it; 1996, baz luhrmann also filmed Romeo and Juliet: Post-modern Passion Edition, which was put in a modern environment, but it was still Shakespeare's original lines. " The film is set in the Iraqi war, and the screenwriter john logan said: "Our first president-George Washington-was a soldier, so were Eisenhower and George H.W. Bush. It turns out that the army and politics have always been closely related to American culture. For me, this is the most worthwhile topic. " As for the political nature of Shakespeare's works, Fiennes said: "He left the audience with a question, not an answer. The characters in his works are always in an ideological dilemma, leaving the audience to imagine fate and solutions to problems. "

Although Coe Leoline Nast has just appeared, reporters can't help asking whether Fiennes will put Shakespeare's works on the big screen again. He thought about it and revealed, "We talked about this before. Although I don't know how likely it is, I think Anthony and Cleopatra is not only because it is a great love story, but also because its writing is very cinematic. I think if Shakespeare were born today, he would be at home in the film industry. "

Leoline's cost is only $654.38+million. Fiennes also said at the press conference, "I don't know when I can make another Shakespeare film. It's too difficult to invest." He also took this opportunity to thank the three producers. During the film festival, the film was bought by American Varnstam Pictures for distribution rights in North America.
