Kevin Costner, the veteran actor who just played Superman's foster father in Superman: body of steel last year, will play William Harper, the mentor of Jack Ryan. Kevin Costner describes the importance of this role like this: 'if you have seen the Avengers, you will know the importance of aegis commander Nick foy (Samuel Jackson) to iron man, and for CIA analyst Jack Ryan, I am his Nick foy.

Tailor made for gold screenwriters
'William Harper is Ryan's Bastion of wisdom'
Kevin Costner, 58, is one of the Hollywood male stars most familiar to Chinese audiences. From "future water world" to "amazing adventure" to last year's "Superman: body of steel", the Hollywood supermodel never stops. This year, Kevin Costner will release five new films in one go, and the first one is this one.
Costner revealed: 'William Harper doesn't exist in Tom Clancy's original novel. This is a new character specially designed for me. Because the image of Ryan in this film is younger and less experienced than that in any previous series of films, William has become a fortress of wisdom at the turning point of his career, a mentor who can control the overall situation. "Gold medal screenwriter David Kemp stressed:" Kevin's mentor role is very important. In the past, Ryan has always been a mature and resourceful analyst, while Ryan in "hair on the trigger" is still in the rookie stage. It is William Harper who guides this young man and gradually becomes a field agent dealing with evil forces. It can be seen that the relationship between William and Ryan is equivalent to that between aunt m and 007.
Kevin Costner had read Tom Clancy's original novel long before he was invited by producer Bonaventura. He was especially fond of Ryan: "I've read three novels about Jack Ryan, and even tried to adapt the script according to my own ideas. Later, my friend Harrison Ford played Ryan, and I was a little & lsquo; angry & nbsp; because I wanted to play that role, too. It's a good idea to fight with Ryan, even though I can't do it now. '
Costner is full of sincerity and follows the crew around London, New York and Moscow when the film is about to start. Director Kenneth Branner praises: "if Kevin doesn't join in," hair on the trigger "will lose half of its glory. '
Action scenes and personal experience
'when I put on my bulletproof jacket, I'm full of energy.'
Kevin Costner is one of the most successful filmmakers in Hollywood, who has won the Oscars with dance with the wolf. As a result, he and the same director, Kenneth Branner, who is good at acting and good at directing.
In Costner's opinion, it is a wise decision for Brenner to give up directing Raytheon 2 and take over shooting on the spur of the moment: "Brenner is a stubborn Englishman. I am a persistent American. As a director, we don't like repetition, but as actors, we are not afraid to make more risky attempts. According to Brana's original plan, Kevin only needs to use his brain in the film, and the action play will be left to Chris Penn. But when Brana first met Kevin, things changed. Kevin explained: 'it's probably Brana who's surprised at my state. I have the habit of keeping fit, so far I can keep up the physical strength of running three kilometers a day. Of course I can & lsquo; move & amp; get up! Kevin's previous action movies are mostly sports. This time, it's rare to hold a pistol tightly and perform the temptation of uniform, which is naturally dazzling: "when I put on a bullet proof jacket, I'm full of energy!"
William Harper in "hair on the trigger" is tall and straight, skillful and cool in sunglasses, which is more eye-catching than Jack Ryan in casual clothes. Kevin sighed: "of course, I don't have the idea of" snatching the show ", but I think this role is indispensable. He and Ryan are teachers and friends, and even have a father's feeling in it. Chris Penn made no secret of his admiration for Kevin: I went to the cinema to watch Superman: the body of steel when "hair on the trigger" was about to be finished. I remember that when Kevin waved his hand to his son in front of the tornado, I was very moved. In "hair on the trigger", he is also dedicated to the protection of Ryan. He can almost penetrate everything and settle everything. 'Kevin Costner said:' Chris Penn is one of the best new generation actors in Hollywood. I hope we can have more cooperation possibilities after "hair on the trigger.". '
