Bad time at the royale

Lewis pullman

It takes place in 1969 in a hotel that was famous long ago and is now almost abandoned. It is run by a young concierge and a series of characters coincide there, such as a preacher, a soul singer, a salesman, a woman and her sister.  Many of them hide their true identities and purposes that will come to light in the following hours. The location also has many surprises. But the film itself also has a series of curiosities that are worth discovering (without spoilers, of course) to enjoy it more.

-The best place to get inspired.  Drew Goddard secluded himself in a hotel room to write the script and says it all started with his love of film noir, crime novels and classic choral films in which you locked several stars in a limited space and where you didn’t know for sure who the main character was.

-A very secret script.  The writing process was kept top secret and was only available to the studio’s top executives, who had to read it and then return it.  During the filming, some actors did not have the whole text, they were only given parts of it. The best example is that of Cynthia Erivo, who thought her character was very secondary and discovered that she was one of the main characters.

Crítica de bad times at the el royale

Malos tiempos en El Royale es una película de suspense neo-noir estadounidense de 2018 escrita y dirigida por Drew Goddard, que produce junto a Jeremy Latcham a través de TSG Entertainment y Goddard Textiles. Está protagonizada por Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, Cailee Spaeny, Lewis Pullman y Chris Hemsworth. La trama sigue a seis desconocidos y a un empleado del El Royale, un hotel situado en la frontera entre California y Nevada, que llegan con oscuros secretos personales que acaban cruzándose en una noche fatídica.

El guión de la película fue escrito inicialmente por Goddard en noviembre de 2016, antes de venderlo el año siguiente en marzo a 20th Century Fox. La fotografía principal comenzó en enero de 2018 con el director de fotografía Seamus McGarvey y tuvo lugar hasta abril en la Columbia Británica, concretamente en un gran plató en Vancouver. El rodaje adicional tuvo lugar en Estados Unidos. Durante la posproducción, el montaje fue completado por Lisa Lassek y la partitura musical fue compuesta por Michael Giacchino.

Bad Times at the El Royale se estrenó en el TCL Chinese Theatre de Los Ángeles el 22 de septiembre de 2018. La película se estrenó en los cines de Estados Unidos el 12 de octubre de 2018 y fue una bomba en la taquilla, recaudando 31,9 millones de dólares en todo el mundo frente a un presupuesto de producción de 32 millones de dólares. La película recibió críticas generalmente positivas, con elogios para su elenco, la banda sonora y la cinematografía, pero críticas por su longitud y su ritmo lento. Recibió varios elogios, entre ellos el de mejor película de suspense en la 45ª edición de los premios Saturn, y fue nominada por su historia, fotografía, guion y actuación.

Bad times at the el royale where to watch

More concerned with setting the scene and creating an atmosphere full of suspicion, Goddard forgets an important detail: you have to tell something, it is not enough to “deconstruct” a genre. Or a country. Anyone can try to make a potato omelet, smash it by trying to flip it and offer a “deconstruction” of one of our most characteristic features. With onions.

If we look back to the mid-90s post-Tarantino, we lack fingers to count the films that played at being modern but retro noir, bitter but horny, where one of the main attractions consisted in annihilating the characters in the least expected order. And in that layer of superficiality Goddard’s new film sits comfortably, a luxury suite with top-notch piped music and the best entertainment offerings it has to offer… a place no one would ever go.

Despite the fact that one of the characters in the plot belongs to that soulful world, his ambitions and values will be devoured by a hotel that is characterized by that. Both inside and outside the film itself.
