After the success of Athonnan Demime "The Silence of the Lambs" In 1991 This was the era of "Seven", "Copit", "Together Come", "Ennenifer 8", "Don't Look NO NO GLOOD", "The viewer's eye", "Slavej", "Knight Moves", and any number. Immediately at the end of the decade came the thriller of Philip Noyeus in 1999 "Bone Collector", based on the novel at the Effeefrey Dayver Airport. Dever's original novel was the first of Rima Lincoln's long-standing series, a series that saw its 16th installment released in 2023. Rima, thanks to the spinal accident, could not move the body under his neck, and fought the crime from his bed, taking details, looking at pictures and relying on his team.

In the film adaptation, Denzel Washington played Lincoln Rome, and Angelina Ololi played his pican partner to fight crime, Amelia Donaghi. These were some particularly high -profile actors for such pulp material. Fortunately, the actors were immensely attractive (as they are always), and the script of Ereeremi Icone was tight. Made on a $ 48 million mid -budget, Bone Collector has earned $ 151 million worldwide. It's pretty good trembling.

Both Washington and Ololi were also on request in 1999. Washington will appear in the "hurricane" later that year and will be nominated for an Oscar, while Ololi was due to win an Oscar for her "Girl, Disturbed" performance announced next month. Despite this, Noye had to fight the studio to throw them into a "bone collector" and, According to the article by SefiEventually he won that fight by editing a special financial agreement.

The way to reach Washington and Ololi is not as upright as you can think. It seems that in the early stages of the development of "bone collector" Al Pacino was supposed to play Lincoln Rome, as producer Martin Barrman was a good friend with the actor, producing "Serpico", "Scarface". "The Road to Carlito" and "Dog Day afternoon". Pacino was ready to make the "bone collector", but he would (perhaps wisely) choose to appear at the Darling Academy Academy of Insider, Michael Mann's whistle.

After leaving Pacino, the studio began to throw out the names of the giant stars, just to see what they would be in order to work. According to the article, Universal said John Connery or Harrison Ford play Lincoln Rome, while Demi Moore or Nicole Kidman is playing Donagha. Snack. Not that those actors are not impressive, or incapable of playing the roles in question, but they look non -creative. Noyes rejected these suggestions, however, wanting Washington and Ololi specifically. Universal, it seems they didn't like these two, probably because they were not considered "banknotes", or maybe they just didn't appear in sufficient study blockbusters.

Whatever the reason, Noys had to lower his leg and insist on the actors he loved and came up with a clever financial arrangement: if the "bone collector" went over the budget, Noys would pay for any exaggerated from his pocket. However, if he goes under the budget, Noyes will be allowed to keep half of what he saved. Noys seems to have gained a significant bonus with this approach. He said to Sifi:

"We got under the number they nominated, almost $ 1.5 million.

Why did Noye wanted Denzel Washington And Angelina Ololi specifically? Honestly, this is because he thought they were great actors, an advantage that he thought was necessary to make a movie as a "bone collector". Noyes was well aware that his film was just the last in a long series of similar genres of films released over the decade. And after films like "Seven", which were critically recognized and financially successful, some predictable banality began to enter the crime in the era. Nice said:

"What I thought would distinguish the film would be good ... I felt that the main horror strokes of this film were quite worldly compared to those other films. And so, we had to go beyond other areas."

The story of serial killers/kidnapping in "Bone Collector" is really less interesting than the chemistry between Washington and Ololi, and that is their bold and endurance that makes it an interesting thing like a "bone collector", not the story of the story. Although "Bone Collector" was a hit, Universe decided not to make additional Rima films. In 2020, however, there was a TV series based on a book called "Lincoln Rome: Hunt for Bone Collector" starring Russell Horsby as Rima and Ariel Kebel as Amelia. However, that series was only one season and was not as good as Noye's feature. If the Lincoln Rima film series was to be resurrected on this late date, a restart will be required.

In an interview for 2000 wide quoted out of context, Angelin Ololi said Dark horizons He "the best sex I ever had was in this movie." She did not refer to any bone collection outside the screen (as wrong titles like "Angelina Ololi says she had" best sex "with Denzel Washington" would "believe), but on the scenes in the" bone collector "where the rhythm and their dwargs were verbally scattered. "It was a great seducing someone with your mind, a huge turnaround," Ololi added.

As a student at the Institute of Theater Theater Lee Straber, Ololi was trained in acting, with the actor seeking an authentic performance with a deep psychologically inserted into the character they play. The role of Amelia Donagha-Debittant Police Officer, who reluctantly engages in the heart of an investigation involving rats with rat and steam-was particularly exhausting for ololi, whose uncertainties as an actor were intertwined with Donagh's anxiety for the work of the forensic police:

"It was really lonely and I went some nuts. From the beginning, I felt as if I was not able to do it, to make a film and be responsible for this, physically dealing with this, saving life and going there and being a police officer."

While Washington had more experience as an actor, he still faced a new challenge in the film, as his performance was limited to his neck. This was done by "Bone Collector" a different kind of movie about him - "A very cerebral thriller and a different challenge as an actor." He was very pleased with the end result, however, he particularly praised Noyes for doing "incredible work for creating a claustrophobic and persecuting atmosphere".

In an interview with Bobby VigantWashington said he had met with a number of quadriltlegic people and spent time with them in his homes to understand the daily practicalities of living with great disabilities. Superman actor Christopher Reeve, who remained paralyzed from his neck down from the 1995 horses, also served as a film consultant. "What I got from him was only his enthusiasm, his lust of life and his absolute faith in the fact that they would find a cure and that he would go again," Washington recalls. "What I got from him was optimism."
