Marvel’s latest run of superhero films didn’t quite end with Avengers: Endgame. Spider-Man: Far from Home is set shortly after all the deaths and rebirths in that record-smashing blockbuster, which means that Spider-Man’s mentor, Iron Man, is out of the picture, and Spidey himself (Tom Holland) has just been zapped back into existence after five years in oblivion. And you thought things were confusing for you as a teenager. To complicate matters further, a supervillain (Jake Gyllenhaal) pops in from another universe, and Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) wants the web-slinger to sign up as a government secret agent. Still, between all the mourning, the spying and the dimension-hopping, our hero has time for a European holiday with his friends, so expect more of the high-school comedy hijinks that made 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming so much fun.
漫威的最新一轮超级英雄电影并非终结于《复仇者联盟4:终局之战》。《蜘蛛侠:英雄远征》的故事发生在这部创纪录大片中的死亡和重生后不久,这意味着蜘蛛侠的导师钢铁侠已经不在了,小蜘蛛侠(汤姆·赫兰德饰演)在经历了五年的混沌状态后刚刚重返人间。本来青少年的世界就已经够混乱了,但是更复杂的事情还在后面:杰克·吉伦哈尔饰演的超级反派从另一个宇宙空降地球,神盾局局长尼克·弗瑞(塞缪尔·杰克逊饰演)想让蜘蛛侠签约给政府当秘密特工。一边忙着哀悼那些逝去的超级英雄和完成间谍任务,一边在不同维度之间跳来跳去,我们的蜘蛛侠依然还有时间和朋友们一起去欧洲度假,所以新片中应该会看到更多让2017年《蜘蛛侠:英雄归来》笑点满满的高中生欢乐闹剧。

The Lion King《狮子王》
The Lion King was the highest grossing film of 1994 and the highest grossing hand-drawn animated film ever, so it was only a matter of time before Disney’s executives got their claws into it again: this year alone, the studio has already released remakes of Dumbo and Aladdin. Directed by Jon Favreau, the new Lion King replaces the traditional animation with photo-realistic CGI, and it has some new songs as well as a new voice cast – including Beyoncé, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Seth Rogen and Donald Glover. But is it essentially the same film that audiences know off by heart? Favreau claims not. “It diverges quite a bit,” he says. “It’s much longer than the original film. And part of what we’re doing here is to give it more dimension not just visually but both story-wise and emotionally.” We’ll soon see.
《狮子王》是1994年票房收入最高的电影,也是有史以来票房最高的手绘动画电影,因此迪士尼高管决定翻拍这部电影只不过是时间问题:单单今年,迪士尼就已经推出了翻拍版的《小飞象》和《阿拉丁》。新版《狮子王》由乔恩·费儒导演,用逼真的CGI动画技术取代了传统的动画技术,还推出了新歌和新的配音阵容,包括碧昂斯、切瓦特·埃加福特、塞斯·罗根和唐纳德·格洛沃。但这还是那部观众烂熟于心的电影吗?乔恩·费儒否定了这一猜想。他说:“新片较大地偏离了原作,它比原作要长得多。我们的一部分工作就是让电影的维度更丰富,不只是视觉上的,还有故事和情感上的。”我们很快就能看到了。
