再續(xù)經(jīng)典的《玩具總動員4》、“三傻”索菲·特納飾演的女X戰(zhàn)警、“雷神”飾演的新黑衣人、艾瑪·湯姆森飾演的深夜秀女魔頭……精彩紛呈的六月電影等你來看!
Dark Phoenix 《X戰(zhàn)警:黑鳳凰》
Dark Phoenix is the 12th film in the X-Men franchise, if you count the Wolverine and Deadpool spin-offs, but it’s the first to have a female central character: an X-Woman rather than an X-Man. Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) stars as Jean Grey, a mutant whose psychic powers are supercharged when a space rescue mission goes wrong. She’s joined by Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and the other regulars, and Jessica Chastain plays an alien who tries to lead Jean astray.
如果把金剛狼和死侍系列片也算在內(nèi),《黑鳳凰》是《X戰(zhàn)警》系列的第12部電影,但這是第一部以女性為主角的《X戰(zhàn)警》電影:女X戰(zhàn)警而非男X戰(zhàn)警。參演過《權(quán)力的游戲》的索菲·特納飾演突變異種人琴·格雷,由于在執(zhí)行一次太空援救任務(wù)時出了問題,琴的超自然力量被極大增強(qiáng),難以控制。該片的演員陣容還包括詹妮弗·勞倫斯、詹姆斯·麥卡沃伊、邁克爾·法斯賓德和其他常駐變種人演員。杰西卡·查斯坦飾演一個試圖讓琴走上邪路的外星人。
supercharge['su?p?t?ɑ?d?]: vt. 使…超負(fù)荷
astray[?'stre]: adj. 離開正道的
Late Night《深夜秀》
Mindy Kaling, creator of The Mindy Project, writes and co-stars in this comedy about the US’s only female late-night talk show host, Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson), a boss from hell with an attitude and a silver hairdo to match Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. To save her show from cancellation, Katherine hires an inexperienced fan (Kaling) who advises her that she is “a little old and a little white”.
艾瑪·湯普森在《深夜秀》中飾演美國唯一一位深夜脫口秀女主播凱瑟琳·紐伯里(虛構(gòu)人物),和《穿普拉達(dá)的女王》中的米蘭達(dá)·普瑞斯特利一樣,也是一個說一不二的銀發(fā)女魔頭老板。《明迪煩事多》的開創(chuàng)者敏迪·卡靈在這部喜劇電影中身兼編劇和演員。為了讓自己的深夜秀免于被取消的命運,凱瑟琳雇傭了一位沒有經(jīng)驗的粉絲(卡靈飾演),這位粉絲提出建議說,凱瑟琳“有點老,膚色也有點太白了”。
Men In Black: International 《黑衣人:全球追緝》
Seven years on from Men In Black 3, the sci-fi comedy franchise returns, but Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones aren’t returning with it. Instead, the trademark suits and shades have been handed down to Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, who are currently better known as Thor and Valkyrie from The Avengers. Thompson plays Agent M, a newly recruited alien hunter who meets Hemsworth’s Bond-like Agent H in the agency’s London office. The director of Men In Black: International, F Gary Gray, made the most entertaining of the Fast and the Furious films, 2017’s The Fate of the Furious, which has to be a good sign.
《黑衣人3》上映七年后,這個科幻喜劇片系列又再度回歸熒幕,不過威爾·史密斯和湯米·李·瓊斯不再繼續(xù)出演。接手黑衣人標(biāo)志性服裝和墨鏡的將是克里斯·海姆斯沃斯和泰莎·湯普森,這倆人因飾演《復(fù)仇者聯(lián)盟》中的雷神和女武神而為人所熟知。湯普森飾演新上崗的外星人獵手M特工,她在聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局的倫敦辦事處遇到了海姆斯沃斯飾演的邦德風(fēng)格的H特工?!逗谝氯耍喝蜃肪儭返膶?dǎo)演F·加里·格雷曾執(zhí)導(dǎo)過《速度與激情》系列中最好看的《宿命》(2017年),所以這部新片應(yīng)該也還不錯。
Toy Story 4《玩具總動員4》
Does one of cinema’s all-time great trilogies really need a part four? Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, Woody and Buzz Lightyear respectively, promise that the ending of Toy Story 4 is even more heart-wrenching than the ending of Toy Story 3 – although, unless it involves the lingering deaths of all of the major characters, it is hard to see how that could be possible. At any rate, Disney Pixar’s cartoon sees the return of Bo Peep (Annie Potts), and the arrival of Forky (Tony Hale), a plastic spork who suffers an existential crisis when he is made into a toy. Also in the toy box: Duke Caboom (Keanu Reeves), an Evel Knievel-style motorcyclist figure, and the villainous Gabby Gabby (Christina Hendricks), a doll who has been stuck in an antique shop for 60 years.
有史以來最偉大的電影三部曲還需要拍第四部嗎?新片的胡迪和巴斯光年的配音者湯姆·漢克斯和蒂姆·艾倫承諾這一部的結(jié)局比第三部的結(jié)局還要令人心碎。不過除非所有的主角都在新片中瀕臨死亡絕境,否則難以想象這要如何實現(xiàn)。無論如何,至少在這部迪士尼皮克斯動畫片中,我們將見到牧羊女(安妮·波茨配音)的回歸和叉奇(托尼·海爾配音)的上場。叉奇是一個被改造成玩具的塑料叉勺,正在遭受存在感危機(jī)。同樣出現(xiàn)在玩具盒里的還有卡布公爵(基努·里維斯配音)——一個埃維爾·克尼維爾風(fēng)格的摩托車手,以及反派蓋比蓋比(克里斯蒂娜·亨德里克斯配音)——一個在古董店里滯留了60年的娃娃。
heart-wrenching: 令人心痛的
spork[sp?:k]: n. 叉勺
Yesterday 《昨天》
Imagine there were no Lennon and McCartney songs. It’s easy if you try. It was easy for Richard ‘Love Actually’ Curtis, anyway, who scripted this high-concept romantic comedy directed by Danny ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Boyle. Himesh Patel stars as Jack Malik, an aspiring singer-songwriter who has no fans except his loyal best friend Ellie (Lily James). That all changes when a cosmic storm dents the space-time continuum, leaving Jack in a world where The Beatles never existed, but where he can still remember all of their songs. All he has to do is claim those songs as his own and megastardom beckons. HeyUGuys hails Yesterday as “utterly joyous and smile-inducing throughout. It’s a glorious celebration of the intoxicating beauty of music, human connection and the beautiful British summertime.”
想象一下,這個世界上沒有列儂和麥卡特尼的歌,這樣你在歌壇上嶄露頭角會不會更容易?至少對于《真愛至上》的導(dǎo)演理查德·柯蒂斯來說是如此。這部高概念浪漫喜劇由柯蒂斯擔(dān)任編劇,丹尼·博伊爾擔(dān)任導(dǎo)演,博伊爾曾執(zhí)導(dǎo)過《貧民窟的百萬富翁》。希米什·帕特爾飾演胸懷抱負(fù)的創(chuàng)作型歌手杰克·馬利克,他的粉絲只有他忠誠的好友艾麗(莉莉·詹姆斯飾演)一個人。一場宇宙風(fēng)暴讓時空連續(xù)體產(chǎn)生了凹痕,于是一切都改變了。杰克置身于一個甲殼蟲樂隊從未存在過的世界,而杰克卻能記得甲殼蟲所有的歌曲。他只需將這些歌曲都占為己有,就可以成為超級巨星。HeyUGuys網(wǎng)站稱贊這部電影“從頭到尾都非常歡樂。這是一首頌揚令人陶醉的音樂之美、人情紐帶和英國夏日美景的贊歌?!?/p>
high-concept: 高概念的,高概念電影指具有視覺形象的吸引力、充分的市場商機(jī)、簡單扼要的情節(jié)主軸與劇情鋪陳以求大多數(shù)觀眾的理解與接受的電影。高概念電影必須由著名導(dǎo)演執(zhí)導(dǎo)或明星主演,甚至兩者兼?zhèn)洹?/span>
