Eco-tourism focus of the new movie ‘Cleaner,’ The Director speaks’ Die Hard ‘comparison’
EXCLUSIVE – is called “cleaner” Modern “Die hard”, But instead of German terrorists, the hero is fighting an eco-tourist.
In “cleaner”, actress “Star Wars” Daisy Ridley Joey Locke’s game, someone in the wrong place at the wrong time, as a group of radical activists takes over the federal building in London. Eco-terrorists plan to disrupt the annual gala ceremony of energy firm and force their hostages to tell their cameras about their alleged corruption. The small blood is spilled until the extremist inside their ranks brings things into his hands and has nothing but violence on the brain.
Ridley plays a former relew window cleaner who has been suspended on 50 stories when the radical commands the building. But although comparisons from “Died Hardly” are abundant, director Martin Campbell said that the 1988 thriller did not occur at all.
“To be honest, I didn’t take any inspiration from Die Hard, which, by the way, I loved,” Campbell, who also directed the James Bond movie of 2006. “Casino Royale,” he said Fox News Digital. “You know, you are obliged to compare because it is a skyscraper and it is one person against the villain, if you see what I mean. So, of course, there will be comparisons.”

“Besides, to be honest, we’re completely different,” Campbell continued. “You know, we have a female protagonist, who is Daisy, unlike Bruce Willis. And I think the so-called eco-tourists have a very interesting dynamics between two generations regarding the conflict in the group, you think something is very different.”
Campbell said that Ecologicalism is the cause Near his heart, but obviously only one of the leaders of the group in the movie had the correct idea of how to convey their message.
“I mean, clearly, that happens,” Campbell said of the dangers of the environment. “You know, let’s go toward the abyss. There’s no question about it. And in the movie, of course, you have Clive Owen, who is a kind of veterans activist. And who, I believe, does exactly correctly, which, they have taken over this festive evening of the energy company that is corrupt , who is an environmental catastrophic with what they did for the earthquake of their shareholders. in the nets and so on. ”
But the movie’s villain, Noah, who was expertly played by Taz Skylar, changes a group of a group from a revolution to one of the accounts. And a way to do it, he believes, is to blow everything.

“Because he believes the planet will only improve if all human beings are wiping from the face of the earth, which, of course, is completely psychotic,” Campbell said of Noah. “But still, who knows, in the future he might be right. I mean, you know, maybe something will happen that – but obviously now, of course, it’s crazy. I mean, completely psychotic. He believes everything, including murder , is actually a way of making a big statement. “
In recent years, environmental activists around the world have disrupted conferences, concerts, performances, great athletic events and more to bring awareness of their thing.

Campbell said he and the leading people in his film would claim that some of these examples do not go far enough.
“I remember everyone blocked the highways in London,” Campbell said. “There was a whole thing where they were sitting on the highways and blocking, which was great. It lasted a week, wasn’t it? And then it disappeared from the media. And then they continued something else. And, you know, you know Noino it’s just, it’s simple Not enough.

But then on Christmas I repeated ‘Die Hard’. Oh, what a movie. I feel it is a love letter Die somehow.

“Well, first of all, she’s very good in action,” the director said. “I mean, only intuitive, she’s very good. Second, she rehearses her free days. As we shoot other things, she would rehearse these scenes of struggle, and probably ended three weeks just because, you, you, you know, nothing is nothing Fasting – it’s all the scene once or twice.
