From: 報知新聞 (詳細は こちらです) キアヌ絶叫 マトリックス解禁
11月5日午後11時 世界62か国、120都市で同時公開,そして、東京新宿ミラノ座にてカウントダウンイベントが行われました。そのイベントの模様を報知新聞は次のようにレポートしています。 このときの興行収入はこの時点では世界最高で2億280万ドルを稼ぎだしました。(その後12月20日公開の「ロード オブ ザ リング 王の帰還」2億4610万ドルに大きく水をあけられましたが)ただ、その後のアメリカやその他の国での評価は芳しくなく、アメリカ単独での興行収入は1億38百万ドルとマトリックス・レボリューションズの稼ぎ出した2億8千万ドルの半分にも満たない数字でした。報知新聞のサイトでは監督のコメントを次のように掲載しています。 〇…イベントにはプロデューサーのジョエル・シルバー、共演のジャダ・ピンケット・スミスのほか、めったに公の場に姿を見せないラリー、アンディのウォシャウスキー兄弟もサプライズゲストとして登場。舞台あいさつでは、照れながらも「日本に来ることができて光栄です。これだけ私たちの作品を愛してくれるのは日本だけ」と笑顔だった。そういうのを考えると日本でカウントダウンイベントをやったのは正解だったのかもしれません。

From: 日刊スポーツ (詳細は こちらです) キアヌが5日午後10時半新宿に登場
カウントダウンイベントをアメリカではなく、日本でやって大丈夫なのかというマトリックスファンの心配を余所に新宿ミラノ座にてマトリックスカウントダウンイベントが実施されました。なんとそのイベントには今までPR活動をしてこなかったウォチャウスキ兄弟監督がスペシャルゲストとして招かれており、マトリックスファンは「始まりがあるものには必ず終わりがある」その瞬間を監督とキアヌといっしょに迎えることができました。舞台挨拶ではキアヌはかなり興奮気味でした。観客席からみて、右側にスミス祭に参加された皆様、ツインズ、ネオの仮装をしたファンが詰めかけたのですが、その姿に興奮していたのではないかと。またテレビのインタビューでも「これだけ社会現象になったのは日本だけだったので日本でファンといっしょにその瞬間を迎えたかった」ということで、2チャンネルでスミス祭を企画し海外にアピールしてくださった方々には御礼の言葉もありません。 日刊スポーツでは次のように書かれています。 今日5日、全世界で同時公開される映画「マトリックス レボリューションズ」(ウォシャウスキー監督)で、キアヌ・リーブス(39)の舞台あいさつが世界50カ国以上に配信されることが4日までに決まった。キアヌは監督、共演者と5日午後10時半から東京・新宿ミラノ座であいさつを行う。4日の会見でキアヌは「日本に帰ってこられてグレート」と語った。 世界同時刻公開という映画界初の試みに挑戦した「マトリックス レボリューションズ」が、新たな“実験”に挑む。日本で行われるキアヌの舞台あいさつを、衛星回線で世界50カ国以上に同時配信する。 午後11時から公開される日本では、東京・新宿ミラノ座で午後10時30分から主演のキアヌ、ジャダ・ピンケット・スミス(32)らが舞台あいさつを行う。日本ではその模様を札幌、川崎、横浜、名古屋、大阪、京都、神戸、福岡の8都市の劇場で同時中継するが、製作側はこの映像を世界120都市へ配信することも決めた。世界各国の劇場で、キアヌの舞台あいさつの生映像が流れる。 4日に都内で行われた会見で、製作のジョエル・シルバー氏は「前作のPRで5月にきた時から、新作のオープニングは東京でと決めていた。(前作より)もっとすごいことをやろうと思う。衛星で世界中が見るイベントになる」と語った。5月に東京・六本木ヒルズで行われた前作「−リローデッド」のプレミア試写会では、六本木ヒルズアリーナと東京タワーをマトリックスカラーのグリーンに染めた。今回はさらにパワーアップした演出も予定しているという。 「映像が盗まれるのを避けるために決めた」(シルバー氏)という世界同時刻公開。ニューヨークの午前9時を基準にしたため、ロサンゼルス午前6時、ロンドン午後2時、モスクワ午後5時、そして日本が午後11時の公開となる。 会見でキアヌは「日本に戻って来られてグレート。ここはスペシャルな場所だ」と日本で公開初日を迎えることを喜んだ。風邪気味というキアヌだが、日本での第一声を世界中が注目している。(日刊スポーツ)[11月5日9時19分更新]また、日刊スポーツでは次のようにレポートしています。

11月3日、「マトリックスレボリューションズ」カウントダウンイベントのため、製作者のジョエル=シルバー、ウォチャウスキ兄弟監督、主演のキアヌ=リーブス、ジェイダ=ピンケット=スミスらが成田に到着しました。成田では報道陣やファン、500人が詰めかけた模様。テレビでも中継されたが、クスっと手を口に当てて笑うキアヌの顔が印象的だった。(たくさんのファンがお出迎えでうれしかったのでしょう!!) 製作のジョエル・シルバーさんらと並んで会見に臨んだキアヌさんは「日本は映画の表現方法などに大変な影響を与えた国。その国にまた戻って来られて最高です」とあいさつした。 「レボリューションズ」は1999年に始まった「マトリックス」3部作の最終章。仮想現実世界を支配する機械たちに、キアヌさんふんする人類の救世主ネオが立ち向かう。 キアヌさんらは5日夜、東京・新宿の映画館でのカウントダウンイベントに参加する予定。(共同通信) Established since 1st September 2001 by 999 SQUARES. |
