《指環(huán)王》的粉絲們注意了:由彼得·杰克遜操刀的前傳——《霍比特人》第一部在本月就要上映了!故事發(fā)生在《指環(huán)王》三部曲之前的六十年左右,講述了弗羅多的叔叔——“霍比特人”比爾博·巴金斯(馬丁·弗瑞曼飾)的冒險歷程。(由于劇情復雜,人物繁多,小編就不在這里劇透了。)
該片的主要演員有伊安·麥克萊恩(飾甘道夫)、馬丁·弗瑞曼(飾比爾博·巴金斯)和理查德·阿米塔格(飾索林·橡木盾)?!吨腑h(huán)王》中的很多演員都會回歸,包括安迪·瑟金斯(“咕嚕姆”)、雨果·維文(半精靈愛隆)、凱特·布蘭切特(精靈女王凱蘭崔爾)、伊利亞·伍德(矮人弗羅多)和奧蘭多·布魯姆(神箭手萊戈拉斯)等。
Everything about Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved fantasy is huge—with the exception of the hobbit himself and the 13 dwarves[矮人] who accompany[陪伴] him on a quest to reclaim[要求歸還] a dragon’s treasure. The months of shooting in New Zealand, the expectations of millions of moviegoers, the technology required to bring the story to life—all of it is on a scale that’s hard to comprehend[理解]. “There are days when you go, ‘Is this really going to be a film?’” says Martin Freeman, who plays hobbit hero Bilbo Baggins. “Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like a film set[布景]. It feels like you’re in NASA.” Even Jackson can feel nervous. “On the first day, it’s like you’re standing looking up at the summit[頂點] of a mountain, thinking, ‘How the hell are we ever going to get up there?’ ” he says. And that was before he decided to add a third film to his intended two-part saga[傳奇].
While fans have deep faith in Jackson given his success with the Lord of the Rings trilogy[三部曲], there’s uncertainty about how he’ll translate Tolkien’s fable into a reported $500 million-plus trilogy.“We know we’re making a series of films that people really want to see,” says Ian McKellen, who returns as the wizard Gandalf. “But it’s a big responsibility because you don’t want to let them down.”
Co-producer and co-writer Philippa Boyens says they need not worry. “There is no one way to tell these stories—there are multiple[多樣的] ways,” she says. “People have said, ‘Are you worried about what the fans are going to think?’ And I go, ‘Well, we are fans!’” Huge ones, in fact.
彼得·杰克遜這次改編J·R·R·托爾金備受喜愛的奇幻故事,與這次改編有關(guān)的一切都規(guī)模龐大——除了霍比特人和13個陪他一起去奪回龍之寶藏的矮人族的身高以外。在新西蘭數(shù)個月的拍攝、百萬影迷的期待、讓故事栩栩如生所需的技術(shù)——所有這一切的規(guī)模都是空前的。“有時候你會想:‘這真的會變成一部電影嗎?’”飾演主角霍比特人比爾博·巴金斯的馬丁·弗瑞曼如是說?!坝袝r你甚至覺得自己所處的不是電影片場,而是美國國家航空航天局?!本瓦B杰克遜也感到緊張?!邦^一天,那感覺就像遙望一座山的山頂,然后在想:‘我們有什么能耐走到那里呢?’”他說。而那還是在他決定把原來的兩部曲變成三部曲之前的想法呢。
