金像影帝羅拔迪尼路
天才女童星娜高達芬寧
捉迷藏
Hide and Seek
二月廿五日 搵「訂」喱
你還記得…
你小時候有"親密好友"嗎？有沒有試過跟鐵甲萬能俠、芭比娃娃、啤啤熊做好朋友？
你小時候會說秘密給父母知道嗎？還是告訴你身邊的「親密好友」？
你小時候曾否為親密好友起名字？
你小時候的親密好友，他們現在還好嗎？
妻子離去，大衛（羅拔迪尼路飾演）傷心欲絕。頓時變成單親爸爸的他，還要負起照顧女兒愛美莉（娜高達芬寧飾演）的責任。為了安撫女兒失去母愛的傷痛，大衛決定遠離曼克頓這塊傷心地，搬往紐約居住。
本以為遷居後可以安心與女兒重新生活，豈料女兒的行為卻變得有點怪異，並經常表示與一位名叫查理的親密好友一起玩耍。大衛見情況不妙，邀請兒童心理學家相助，希望根治女兒的心理疾病。豈料，醫生出手相助，竟惹來殺身之禍，連大衛新相識的女性朋友伊莉莎伯（依莉莎伯舒爾飾演）也大禍臨頭。
大衛悚然心驚，眼看女兒處境十分危險，他又徬徨無助，滿腦子都是疑問：到底發生什麼事？查理又是誰？為何對愛美莉苦苦相纏？到底查理是人抑或．．．．．．？
情節恐怖 聞者心寒
被喻為與《鬼眼》及《咫尺閃靈》同等級數的驚慄電影《捉迷藏》，由導演尊普遜及其製作人員精心佈局，編寫出一步一驚心的故事。編劇艾烈舒羅斯保為了令劇情更加懸疑驚嚇，他經常置身於陰暗的環境下寫故事，並親自演譯每個角色，他更表示每個「角色」更會說出故事的下一步是如何。
另外，小主角娜高達芬寧首次閱讀劇本時，愈讀愈心寒，本想往樓上房間?續細閱，豈料，翻了十多頁便覺毛管直豎，往房間中途便折返客廳，要在父親及妹妹陪同下才敢繼續閱讀下去。
除了故事內容恐怖，導演更巧妙運用音樂、鏡頭、燈光，例如在電影的開頭部份，燈光師會採用較充足的燈光給予觀眾一種樂觀的氣氛，但到了中段，則運用較深沉的燈光，營造驚心動魄的氣氛。化粧技巧亦幫助不少，如要求娜高達芬寧配帶深啡色假髮及作深色的眼部化粧，更顯得陰深恐怖，令觀眾不寒而慄。
影帝羅拔迪尼路 專業精神
從影四十多年的羅拔迪尼路，自73年與著名導演馬田史高西斯合作後，聲名大噪，被外界喻為實力派演員，其後片約不絕，參演過不同類型的電影。屹今為止羅拔迪尼路已參演超過六十多部電影，包括《的士司機》、《海角驚魂》、《獵鹿者》，近年的作品有《死亡直播》、《非常外父揀女婿》系列及為動畫電影《鯊膽大話王》配音等。
由於被公認演技超卓，羅拔迪尼路曾被六次提名角逐奧斯卡獎項，更於1975年憑《教父續集》榮獲奧斯卡最佳男配角，更於1981年憑《狂牛》勇奪奧斯卡最佳男主角，令演藝事業推至新高峰。
羅拔迪尼路於2003年10月作例行身體檢查後，驗出患了早期前列腺癌，但卻無礙他對電影的熱忱，答應繼續參與2004年年初開拍的《捉迷藏》。羅拔迪尼路如此敬業樂業，值得世人尊崇，怪不得他於2003年獲得由美國電影學會頒發的終身成就獎。
童星娜高達芬寧 天才橫溢
自六歲投身影藝界，娜高達芬寧這個小天才已成為眾人的焦點。雖然年紀
小小，娜高達已經與不少著名導演及演員合作，包括參演導演史提芬史匹堡所執導的電視劇集《天劫》，更與金像影帝辛潘合演《不一樣的爸爸》，演技一鳴驚人，贏取英國電影電視藝術學院獎「最佳新人獎」及提名角逐美國演員公會的「最佳新人獎」。娜高達亦曾參演《我要嫁得好》、《反斗靈貓》及《鑣火》，新工作是亦與湯告魯斯合演《War of the Worlds》。
天才橫溢的娜高達還在學習西班牙文及法文，又會像其他女孩一樣彈鋼琴、編織及玩毛公仔。
導演尊普遜 演而優則導
澳洲出身的尊普遜，尚未成為導演之前是著名的實力派演員，曾參與不少電影，包括與湯告魯斯合演的《職業特攻隊2》。由於演技非凡，獲獎無數，如憑《The Boys》榮獲澳洲電影學會頒發最佳男配角獎及憑《The Sum of Us》獲得澳洲影評人協會獎項。
另外，尊普遜期後更嘗試做導演的滋味，尊普遜於九九年憑《Siam Sunset》獲得康城電影節獎項及榮獲澳洲電影學會提名角逐最佳電影。曾為二十世紀霍士影片有限公司執導懸疑驚慄片《致命漩渦》，口碑及票房成績理想。今次再度與尊普遜霍士影片合作拍攝《捉迷藏》，必定擦出不少火花。
醉心電影工作的尊普遜在家鄉成立一個名為TROPFEST的機構，專為短片舉辦電影節，鼓勵更多興趣人士進行短片的創作。由於尊普遜積極推動澳洲電影的發展，澳洲電影學會頒發Byron Kennedy獎項以示表揚。

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
That command is familiar to everyone who has played the children's game, Hide and Seek. The words and game take us back to an innocent, carefree time in our lives, where the simple goal was to find hiding playmates. Many children could even enjoy a spirited game with imaginary friends.
But then, imaginary friends can sometimes seem so real…
For young Emily Callaway, her games of Hide and Seek with an imaginary friend named Charlie have become anything but simple and innocent. Instead, she finds herself in the middle of a series of increasingly nightmarish acts that even her father David cannot stop. Who - or what - is Charlie? David wonders. How can an "imaginary" entity have this kind of hold on her? Mayb Charlie is not imaginary at all, but instead a flesh-and-blood, malevolent presence?
Academy AwardR winner Robert De Niro stars as David Callaway, a troubled father and widower in the suspense-thriller HIDE AND SEEK, and Dakota Fanning portrays his young daughter Emily, who is hiding an incredible secret. As the story opens, Callaway's wife Alison (Amy Irving) dies suddenly, traumatizing Emily. Father and daughter move to Upstate New York to distance Emily from the memories of her life in Manhattan with her mother. Soon thereafter, Emily develops a friendship with Charlie. At first, David sees Charlie as a positive way for Emily to express herself, but a series of terrifying acts lead him to imagine the unimaginable: Charlie may actually be real…and if so, he must be stopped.
"I wanted to write a really scary movie," says first-time screenwriter Ari Schlossberg of his work on HIDE AND SEEK. "I grew up in New York City, and the woods always held an element of fear for me. So of course I set my story in a rural woodsy town."
In keeping with his story's suspenseful, eerie elements, Schlossberg often wrote sitting in the dark, at night, acting out all the roles himself. "The characters' voices told me where the story was going," he says. Over time, the story evolved, until the writer decided his screenplay was ready to send out.
Producer Barry Josephson was among the first to read Schlossberg's work. "The script scared the hell out of me," Josephson remembers. "I just couldn't put it down." Josephson was so impressed with that not only did he purchase the script and bring it to Twentieth Century Fox, he promised that Schlossberg would the only writer to work on future revisions - a rare occurrence in today's Hollywood where scores of writers are often brought in to fine-tune or "polish" a screenplay.
Josephson notes that casting the legendary Robert De Niro is critical to the film. "De Niro leaves an indelible mark on audiences with every role he plays," says Josephson. "He brings so much to HIDE AND SEEK in conveying David's increasing anguish and fear over what's happening to his daughter."
Director John Polson, who joined the project after helming the hit Fox thriller Swimfan, notes that HIDE AND SEEK gave De Niro the opportunity to play a new kind of role for the actor. "We haven't seen Bob play a father holding things together while his family's falling apart. It's a new kind of vulnerability for him to play, and it was exciting to watch him show us a different side."
The screenplay's suspense and thrills helped draw Polson to the project, but he most appreciated the story's father-daughter relationship. "A father trying to save his daughter from something...or someone… neither one understands, makes for a really exciting dynamic," says Polson, himself a noted actor.
"David's desperate attempts to help his daughter and his attempts to reconnect with her are moving," adds Polson. "We have to first hook the audience with their relationship, so we have an emotional stake in everything that happens to them later."
The search for Emily, a complex and demanding part, led the filmmakers to Dakota Fanning. "I don't think there's a better actress at her age out there," says Josephson. "She is gifted beyond her years."
"Dakota blows my mind; there's just no other way to put it," Polson says. "Working with her is like working with an incredibly talented 35 year old."
Fanning's first reading of the script was a memorable experience. "I started reading it in my room, upstairs, but I got so scared I had to go downstairs, where my dad and sister were, to finish reading it," she remembers.
To play the troubled youngster, the blond-haired Fanning donned a brown wig and applied under-eye makeup, which gave the young actress a haunted appearance. But the wig, as effective as it is, only serves to help the actress tap into something new for her. "This role is like nothing I've done before," says Fanning. "First of all, I look a lot different. But that's only the beginning. Emily is definitely scared and in some sort of trouble, but she keeps you guessing about who - or what - is really causing these scary things to happen."
Fanning enjoyed a special chemistry with De Niro - as she did with Sean Penn in I Am Sam and with Denzel Washington in Man on Fire. "To work with Robert De Niro was like a dream come true," says Fanning. "He's such a nice person to be around, and I learned something from him everyday."
When we meet Emily, she is a happy, normal 9 year old who enjoys a strong bond with her mother. Shortly after the latter's death, Emily and her father move to a rented house in a sleepy, eerie Upstate New York town. Here we see Fanning's Emily transform into a taciturn, secretive girl with a menacing friend named Charlie. "At first it seems a good thing that Emily has an imaginary friend," says Fanning. Then it gets bad…and then it gets worse."
To depict David and Emily's worsening situation - and slowly, deliberately amp up the scares - Polson and his team use design, lighting, camera movement, sound and music. "We use these things, as well as the wonderful understated work from Bob and Dakota to create a quiet, 'psychological' creepiness for the first two-thirds of the film, to keep audiences on edge," says Polson. "During our last act, the action and scares never stop."
Early in the film, Director of Photography Dariusz Wolski, ASC uses light to create an optimistic feel. But the hope of a new life for David and Emily dissipates, and Wolski's lighting brings us deeper into David's nightmare. "Something is broken inside of Emily," says Wolski, "and David is trying to fix it." Similarly, Wolski's always-moving camera indicates the ever-shifting nature of David and Emily's fears.
Production Designer Steven Jordan's many contributions include overseeing the creation of Emily's increasingly disturbing drawings. As the story opens, the artwork has an innocence and charm, but as Emily becomes increasingly tied to her imaginary friend, the drawings become more menacing. Jordan and Polson looked at hundreds of drawings, a process that Polson likens to casting a movie. "We even had 'doubles' for most of our 'star' drawings," says the director.
Composer John Ottman's (X2) lush orchestral score also adds to the chills. For the main title theme, which runs throughout the film, Ottman incorporated vocals from Dakota Fanning. "Dakota's singing can be heard throughout the soundtrack," says Ottman. "She added wonderful, eerie touches."
The other starring cast members appreciated the film's thrills and suspense, while taking special note of the characterizations. Amy Irving plays Alison, Emily's mother, whose sudden death triggers frightening upheavals in David and Emily's lives. "Alison is the fun parent and has an especially close relationship with her daughter," says Irving. "So when Alison dies, it has a big impact on Emily."
Another character central to the story is child psychologist Katherine (Famke Janssen), who assumes both a maternal and professional relationship with Emily. Katherine, who lives in New York City, communicates frequently with David about Emily, and visits them once she hears about the strange occurrences in their new home. Ultimately, Katherine puts her own life in danger to help the young girl.
"Katherine is a skilled psychologist who is dedicated to helping Emily and David," says Janssen. "Katherine knows that the simple game that Emily is playing, and her so-called imaginary friend Charlie, represent much more than they seem. But the words 'Hide and Seek' resonate for all the characters, not just Emily, reflecting who they are and what they're going through."
A new woman in David's life is Elizabeth, who is recently divorced and looking for a new direction for her life. Elizabeth welcomes David and Emily to their new home, and she and David become close friends. When the friendship takes a romantic turn, Elizabeth finds herself targeted by someone…or something. "But is it Charlie, Emily, or someone we're not yet aware of?" asks Elisabeth Shue, who portrays Elizabeth. "That's one of the film's key mysteries."
Sheriff Hafferty, played by Dylan Baker, also becomes enveloped in the increasingly terrifying events that transpire inside the Callaway home. "The home and country setting are beautiful but at times desolate," says Baker. "It's a lovely little town that's just a little eerie. There's something about being isolated in 'paradise' that's more than a little creepy."
Creepy, indeed. John Polson hopes that audiences enjoy HIDE AND SEEK's creepiness, suspense and thrills, but he would also like to see them take away a little more. "We tried to make a thriller that doesn't talk down to the audience," he says. "I want people to have lots of fun with the movie, but also know that they've experienced a moving, complex relationship between a father and daughter."
And they've met a creepy new friend named Charlie.
