Recently. Chris Evans Speaks About Struggling With Snowpiercer Script. When “Snowpiercer” was released in theatres in 2013, it began a remarkable decade for Bong Joon Ho, culminating in his historic Oscar win for “Parasite.” However, one of the film’s stars was skeptical about the project’s viability.
Chris Evans reflected on his experience working on the dystopian picture alongside Bong in a new interview with GQ. He admitted that he didn’t grasp the script at first and had questions regarding the environment in which it takes place.
“When I first read the script, I didn’t quite get it,” Evans stated. “I was thinking, ‘So…what?'” When you make a world-building film, you construct an entirely separate setting.
There’s just this idea that you have to say, “OK, so everyone just accepts this. This is just how it is?” Isn’t it shocking that this is the structure? That’s just the way it is.'”
“You kind of have to decide what part of your brain you spend wrapping your head around,” Evans concluded. Do you take the intimate route and make it all about the character?
Do you make it about what it took for that civilization to reach that point? It’s a challenge, but you see Tilda Swinton and her approach to this larger-than-life character in the film.”

Evans stated that he eventually put aside his concerns about specifics and placed his trust in Bong based on his reputation and the clarity of his vision.
“Director Bong is an absolute visionary. “It breeds trust when you’re working with someone who knows exactly what they want, even if it’s not exactly how you saw it,” he said. “As an actor, trusting the director is the most important thing.” Otherwise, you’re on defense.

Anything I say to them can be used against me.’ And when you have a director who is so certain of their vision, you think, ‘Great. When you say leap, I’ll ask, “How high?”
Speaking of victory and dread, simply witnessing “Snowpiercer” may prove challenging. As some may know, the picture has been the subject of a conflict between its filmmaker and the film’s distributor, Harvey Weinstein.
Weinstein reportedly rejected Bong’s 126-minute version and allegedly ordered the elimination of 20 minutes before releasing it.
Weinstein eventually relented and decided to keep the film at its full length but instead cut its distribution plan to what the kids call a “limited release,” which means that unless it becomes a surprise smash warranting a more extensive run, there is a good chance that many people will never get the opportunity to see it on the big screen, where it really needs to be seen to have maximum impact.
Yes, this is how Hollywood operates these days, and no, I don’t understand it either.
