布拉德•皮特可能出演處死耶穌的大惡人?

Brad Pitt didn't have the greatest 2012. Oh sure, he bagged a role in Ridley Scott's "The Counselor," and a small part in Steve McQueen's "Twelve Years A Slave," but Andrew Dominik's "Killing Them Softly" bombed hard, while his big budget zombie movie "World War Z" endured a release date delay, reshoots, and the worst buzz of the year. So, for his next move, he's going to play the lead in "Pontius Pilate"?

布拉德·皮特（Brad Pitt）的2012年過得不算太好。雖然他在雷德利·斯科特（Ridley Scott）的《法律顧問》（The Counselor）中演得遊刃有餘、十分出彩，也在史蒂夫·麥奎因（Steve McQueen）的《黑奴十二年》（Twelve Years a Slave）裏客串了一下；但由皮特主演、由安德魯·多米尼克（Andrew Dominik）執導的《溫柔的殺戮》（Killing Them Softly）票房慘淡，他那大成本製作的殭屍電影《殭屍世界大戰》（World War Z）先是推遲上映，又經歷重拍風波，最後還獲得了去年的“電影惡評第一名”。然後，他下一步打算出演電影《龐提烏斯·彼拉多》（Pontius Pilate，又譯本丟·彼拉多）的同名主角，那個歷史上下令處死耶穌的大惡人？

Well, we admire the swagger we guess. The actor is circling the project that was first announced last summer, and described as a kind of "Braveheart" or "Gladiator" epic-sized movie that tells the story of Pontius' rise from battlefield warrior to cog in the political machine, who is assigned to Judea which just happens to be a seething well of religious tension, and he gets in way over his head, and winds up in control of the fate of this guy named Jesus. And stopping by for apperances? Caligula, Tiberius, John the Baptist, King Herod, Salome, Mary Magdalene and Caiaphas. Your preacher is gonna flip.

好吧，人有多大膽，地有多大產啊。皮特正在考慮的這個電影項目於去年夏天公佈，被描述爲一部類似於《勇敢的心》（Braveheart）、《角鬥士》（Gladiator）的史詩電影。它講述的是這樣一個故事：龐提烏斯從一個普通戰士轉變爲政治機器的棋子，他被派往當時宗教局勢劍拔弩張的朱迪亞城後，深陷泥足、難以自拔，最終掌控一個名叫耶穌（Jesus）的人的命運。都有誰會在電影裏露臉呢？卡里古拉（Caligula，羅馬暴君）、臺比留（Tiberius，羅馬皇帝）、施洗者約翰（John the Baptist）、以色列的希律王（King Herod）、莎樂美（Salome，希律王女兒）、抹大拉的瑪麗亞（Mary Magdalene）以及該亞法（Caiaphas，主審耶穌的大祭師）。傳教者們看到一定會氣瘋的。

Of couse, nothing is confirmed and Pitt circles lots of stuff, all the time, without committing, so we'll see. And also, there's no director attached yet and who that winds up being will probably be a big part of getting Pitt involved or not. But we'll go ahead and say he currently has the hair for the job, and if anyone could make the masses care for a "Pontius Pilate" movie, he could.

當然，現在一切都未確定，皮特又總是在好幾部電影間選來選去，猶豫半天定不下來，所以我們還是邊走邊看吧。此外，這部電影尚未決定由誰執導，最終的導演人選很可能對皮特是否參演帶來較大影響。我們現在可以說的是，皮特的髮型真的相當適合演這部電影；而且如果說誰的參演能讓大衆關注到這部《龐提烏斯·彼拉多》的話，當然是皮特啦。
