BBC推荐：2021年佳片前瞻（上） 10 films to watch in 2021 (partⅠ)

2020年没能看到的大片，2021年将会统统补给你。《007：无暇赴死》、《沙丘》、《寂静之地2》……这注定是电影精彩不断的一年。

The Many Saints of Newark《纽瓦克众圣》

Fourteen years after The Sopranos ended, its creator and writer, David Chase, delivers a prequel to one of the best television series ever made. No one could replace James Gandolfini, who died in 2013, and who made the middle-aged Tony, family man and mob boss, a classic character. But Chase and director Alan Taylor enlisted Gandolfini's lookalike son, Michael Gandolfini, to play Tony as a young man. Set in the 1960s and 70s, against the backdrop of racial unrest and riots in Newark, New Jersey, with antagonism between black people and Italian Americans, the film could give us a clue about where all that Sopranos crime came from. Among the cast: Vera Farmiga as Tony's lethal mother, Livia.

《黑道家族》剧终14年后，该剧的导演和编剧大卫·切斯又为这部有史以来最出色的电视剧献上了前传电影。没有人可以取代2013年去世的詹姆斯·甘多菲尼，他饰演的中年托尼一角非常经典，既是顾家好男人，也是黑帮老大。但是大卫·切斯和导演阿兰·泰勒请来了甘多菲尼的儿子——和他长得很像的迈克尔·甘多菲尼饰演年轻的托尼。新片的故事背景设定在20世纪六七十年代，当时新泽西州纽瓦克市充斥着种族动乱，黑人和意大利裔美国人互相敌视，这部电影能让我们对《黑道家族》中的犯罪源头有所了解。维拉·法梅加饰演托尼极具杀伤力的母亲丽维亚。

Released internationally on 11 March

该片将于3月11日在全球上映。

No Time to Die《007：无暇赴死》

First there were injuries, accidents and the resignation of the original director, Danny Boyle. Then there was the pandemic, which pushed the release date back by exactly a year. But in April, more than five years after the premiere of Spectre, we will finally see the 25th official Bond film. The director, Cary Joji Fukunaga (Beasts of No Nation, True Detective), is a master of action sequences and exotic locations. And the villains are played by two Oscar winners, Christoph Waltz and Rami Malek. It looks as if Daniel Craig's last Bond movie could be his best.

先是有人受伤，然后是发生事故，接着原导演丹尼·博伊尔又退出了。之后疫情又迫使该片的上映日期推迟了整整一年。但是今年四月，在《007：幽灵党》首映五年多后，我们终于要看到第25部邦德电影了。导演凯瑞·福永（曾执导《无境之兽》和《真探》）是拍摄动作片和异域风情片的高手。反派担当是两位奥斯卡获奖者——克里斯托弗·瓦尔兹和拉米·马雷克。看起来丹尼尔·克雷格的最后一部邦德电影会是他最好的一部。

Released internationally on 2 April

该片将于4月2日在全球上映。

A Quiet Place Part II《寂静之地2》

We learned in 2020 that not every film needs to be seen in a theatre. One exception is John Krasinski's sequel to his hit A Quiet Place, about a family who will be attacked by noise-sensitive monsters if they make a peep. When the original was shown in theatres, there was not a popcorn crunch to be heard, just the rare sound of an entire audience holding its breath. Emily Blunt returns as the mother of the family, with Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe as her children in this follow-up. Krasinski once again writes and directs. Viewers of the original will remember with a chill why he is not on screen.

2020年让我们知道不是每一部电影都需要在影院里观看。但是约翰·卡拉辛斯基的热门电影《寂静之地》的续集是一个例外。《寂静之地》讲述了一个家庭一旦发出响动就会受到对声音很敏感的怪兽的攻击。原片在影院上映时，全场听不到吃爆米花的任何声响，只能听到全体屏息的声音。艾米莉·布朗特回归新片，继续饰演母亲一角，米利森特·西蒙兹和诺亚·尤佩在续集中饰演孩子们。卡拉辛斯基再次担任编剧和导演。至于他为什么不会出现在片中，看过第一部的观众想到原因可能会倒吸一口凉气。

Released internationally on 22 April

该片将于4月22日在全球上映。

Luca 《夏日友情天》

Having taken memorable trips to France (Ratatouille), Scotland (Brave) and Mexico (Coco), Pixar heads to Italy for its next cartoon, a sunny coming-of-age comedy directed by Enrico Casarosa and written by Jesse Andrews and Mike Jones (the co-writer of Soul). In 2011, Casarosa made a beloved Pixar short, La Luna, but Luca is his debut feature. "This is a deeply personal story for me," he has said, "not only because it's set on the Italian Riviera where I grew up, but because at the core of this film is a celebration of friendship." Its hero is a boy named Luca who has a wonderfully carefree summer by the seaside with his new best friend – the only snag being that his friend is actually a sea monster in disguise.

在法国（《美食总动员》）、苏格兰（《勇敢传说》）和墨西哥（《寻梦环游记》）经历了难忘的旅行后，皮克斯又出发去了意大利拍摄它的下一部动画。这部阳光灿烂的成长喜剧片由埃里康·卡萨罗萨导演，杰西·安德鲁斯和麦克·琼斯（《心灵奇旅》的编剧之一）担任编剧。2011年，卡萨罗萨曾制作过一个受人喜爱的皮克斯短片《月神》，但是《夏日友情天》是他执导的第一部长片。他表示：“这对我而言是一个非常个人化的故事，不只是因为故事背景设定在我从小长大的里维埃拉，但也因为这部电影的核心是颂扬友谊。”主人公是一个名为卢卡的小男孩，他和他新结交的好朋友在海边度过了一个无忧无虑的夏天，唯一的障碍是他的朋友其实是一个伪装的海怪。

Released internationally on 18 June

该片将于6月18日在全球上映。

Top Gun: Maverick《壮志凌云2：独行侠》

Top Gun flew into cinemas in 1986. Fortunately, Tom Cruise hasn't aged a day since then, so he can still get away with wearing Aviator shades and declaring, "I feel the need, the need for speed". In the long-awaited sequel, Cruise's cocky US Navy pilot, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, is a captain, and his old rival "Iceman" (Val Kilmer) is a four-star general. But there is no sign of Kelly McGillis as Charlie: Jennifer Connolly has replaced her as Cruise's love interest. The other new recruits are Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, and Miles Teller as the son of Maverick's buddy "Goose".

《壮志凌云》第一部是在1986年上映的。幸运的是，汤姆·克鲁斯一点也没老，所以他依然可以戴着飞行员墨镜宣称：“我感到渴望，对速度的渴望。”在这部等待了多年的续集中，克鲁斯饰演的自大的美国海军飞行员“独行侠”彼得·米契尔当了上校，他的老对手“冰人”（方·基默饰演）成了四星上将。但是你应该看不到凯莉·麦吉利斯饰演的查莉，珍妮佛·康诺利将取代她成为克鲁斯的爱人。新加盟的其他演员有乔恩·哈姆、艾德·哈里斯，还有迈尔斯·特勒，他饰演“独行侠”的好哥们“笨鹅”的儿子。

Released internationally from 2 July

该片将于7月2日在全球上映。
