BBC推荐：2021年佳片前瞻（上）

Dune《沙丘》

Whether you rate it as a cult classic, or whether you're sensible enough to accept that it is one of the worst films ever made, David Lynch's Dune was not a triumph. Now Denis Villeneuve has made his version of Frank Herbert's epic interstellar novel, and, judging by Villeneuve's last two science-fiction dramas, Arrival and Blade Runner 2049, his Dune should be a lot more successful than Lynch's. One thing's for sure, the film Villeneuve is calling "Star Wars for adults" has 2021's most impressive cast. Timothée Chalamet is the messianic hero; the other big names include Javier Bardem, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Momoa, Charlotte Rampling, Zendaya and Dave Bautista.

大卫·林奇版的《沙丘》算不上一个成功的作品，无论你是将其视为邪典，还是理性地承认它是史上最糟的电影之一。现在丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦也将弗兰克·赫伯特的星际史诗小说拍成了电影，从维伦纽瓦的上两部科幻电影（《降临》和《银翼杀手2049》）来看，他拍的《沙丘》应该比林奇的要成功得多。有一件事是确定无疑的，这部被维伦纽瓦称作“献给成人的星球大战”的影片拥有2021年最豪华的演员阵容。“甜茶”蒂莫西·柴勒梅德饰演救世主般的英雄，一起拍摄该片的知名演员还有哈维尔·巴登、奥斯卡·伊萨克、乔什·布洛林、丽贝卡·弗格森、杰森·莫玛、夏洛特·兰普林、赞达亚和戴夫·巴蒂斯塔。

messianic [ˌmesiˈænɪk]: adj. 救世主似的

Released internationally on 1 October

该片将于10月1日在全球上映。

Eternals《永恒族》

Even before Chloe Zhao's affecting, low-key Nomadland hit the festival circuit, she had moved on to a wildly different project, directing this instalment in the Marvel franchise. Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Richard Madden and Brian Tyree Henry head the cast as Eternals, immortal aliens who have hidden out of sight on Earth for thousands of years. They surface and unite to battle the evil Deviants. Nomadland displayed Zhao's eye for wide-scale images. Action and special effects are another story, but there's every reason to assume she will translate her vision to the superhero realm.

赵婷那部动人又低调的《无依之地》在电影节上映之前，她已经开始执导这部与前作风格迥异的漫威系列电影。安吉丽娜·朱莉、库梅尔·南贾尼、理查德·麦登和布莱恩·泰里·亨利饰演“永恒族”——数千年来隐居在地球上的长生不死的外星人。为了抗击邪恶的“异常族”，他们现身并团结在一起。《无依之地》展现出了赵婷对拍摄广阔场景的眼力。撇开动作和视觉效果不谈，我们有充分的理由相信赵婷会用同样一流的眼光来拍摄超级英雄电影。

Released internationally on 5 November

该片将于11月5日在全球上映。

Nightmare Alley《玉面情魔》

With films including Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro is one of the most original, audacious directors today, his work fusing heart and horror. It will be fascinating to see what he does to reinvent Nightmare Alley, based on a novel that was adapted into the classic 1947 film noir of the same name. Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett star in the story of a con man who teams up with a psychologist. The rest of the amazing cast includes David Strathairn, Rooney Mara, Toni Collette, Richard Jenkins and Willem Dafoe.

曾拍过《潘神的迷宫》、《水形物语》等电影的吉尔莫·德尔·托罗是当今最具原创力、最大胆的导演之一，他的作品既惊悚又感人。看他如何翻拍改编自同名小说的1947年经典黑色电影《玉面情魔》应该会很有趣。布莱德利·库珀和凯特·布兰切特饰演故事中结为搭档的骗子和心理医生。出演本片的优秀演员还有大卫·斯特雷泽恩、鲁妮·玛拉、托妮·科莱特、理查德·詹金斯和威廉·达福。

Released on 3 December in the US

该片将于12月3日在美国上映。

West Side Story《西区故事》

Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's classic Broadway musical was meant to be released last year, but when you're dealing with such an extravagantly beautiful source, a delay hardly matters. Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver) and the little-known Rachel Zegler are Tony and Maria, the star-crossed Romeo and Juliet caught in a gang war between the Sharks and the Jets in 1957 New York City. This film version was written by playwright Tony Kushner, who also wrote Spielberg's Lincoln. Spielberg hasn't done a musical before but he starts with the advantage of some of the most gorgeous songs ever written in Maria and Tonight.

这部改编自伦纳德·伯恩斯坦和斯蒂芬·桑德海姆经典百老汇音乐剧的电影由史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格执导，原本计划在去年和观众见面，但是这样的华美巨制推迟一点上映又算得了什么呢？该片讲述了托尼和玛丽亚这对罗密欧和朱丽叶式的苦命恋人卷入了1957年纽约市鲨鱼帮和杰茨帮之间的帮派斗争。曾主演《极盗车神》的安塞尔·埃尔格特饰演托尼，没什么名气的瑞秋·齐格勒饰演玛丽亚。电影版剧本由托尼·库什纳操刀，库什还担任过斯皮尔伯格电影《林肯》的编剧。斯皮尔伯格从未拍过音乐剧，但是他从一开始就有《玛丽亚》、《今晚》这样的经典歌曲为他保驾护航。

Released internationally from 9 December

该片将于12月9日在全球上映。

The French Dispatch 《法兰西特派》

If the cast, vintage-style poster and title signal anything, this comedy, originally set for the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, is pure Wes Anderson, stylish and droll, in the mode of his Grand Budapest Hotel. The setting is a fictional city in France, among American journalists. Bill Murray plays a transplant from Kansas, founder of a magazine called The French Dispatch, which Anderson modelled on The New Yorker of decades ago, full of eccentrics on staff. The cast features many other Anderson regulars, including Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, Benicio del Toro, Timothée Chalamet and Frances McDormand.

从演员阵容、复古海报和标题来看，这部原本要在2020年戛纳电影节上映的喜剧片完全是韦斯·安德森的风格，时髦又滑稽，就和他的《布达佩斯大饭店》一样。该片的背景设定在法国的一个虚构城市，故事围绕着一群美国记者展开。比尔·默瑞饰演来自美国堪萨斯州的一名移居者，他创办了一本名为《法兰西特派》的杂志。安德森以几十年前的《纽约客》杂志为模板，职员们都古里古怪的。参演本片的有很多都是安德森的御用演员，包括欧文·威尔逊、蒂尔达·斯文顿、阿德里安·布劳迪、本尼西奥·德尔·托罗、蒂莫西·柴勒梅德和弗朗西丝·麦克多曼德。

Released in 2021, date to be announced

该片将于2021年上映，具体时间待定。
