BBC推薦：九月最值得期待的五部電影

金秋九月，哪些電影最值得期待？“緋聞女孩”布蕾克·萊弗利主演的喜劇《一個小忙》、老戲骨朱麗安·摩爾主演的劇情片《美聲》，昔日的男神女神基努·裏維斯和薇諾娜·瑞德攜手主演的愛情片，還有華納兄弟公司出品的動畫電影《雪怪大冒險》，哪一部最讓你心動呢？

A Simple Favor 《一個小忙》

主演：布蕾克·萊弗利 / 琳達·卡德里尼 / 安娜·肯德里克 / 魯伯特·弗蘭德 / 埃裏克·約翰遜

Director Paul Feig has been one of the most successful directors of comedy of the past decade – with Bridesmaids, The Heat, Spy and Ghostbusters, he not only delivered massive laughs but also revealed the huge, and almost always neglected, audience for raunchy, sometimes gory, female-driven comedies. Now he’s leaving comedy behind to direct what appears to be a thriller in the vein of Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train. A Simple Favor is based on the 2017 Darcey Bell novel of the same name, and stars Anna Kendrick as a woman who becomes obsessed with a stylish acquaintance played by Blake Lively, who may hold some dark and deadly secrets – and then she vanishes. Could her handsome husband – Crazy Rich Asians star and BBC World News’ Travel Show host Henry Golding – have done her in? Twists and turns lay ahead. Released September 13 in Hong Kong and Singapore, September 14 in Romania, Taiwan of China and the US and September 20 in Australia and the UK (Credit: Lionsgate)

導演保羅·費格是過去十年來最成功的喜劇導演之一，他導演了《伴娘》、《辣手警花》、《女間諜》和《捉鬼敢死隊》等賣座大片，不但讓人們捧腹大笑而且還揭示出喜好粗俗有時甚至血淋淋的女性喜劇觀衆羣有多麼龐大。現在費格將喜劇拋諸腦後，轉而導演起類似《消失的愛人》和《火車上的女孩》之類的驚悚片。新片《一個小忙》基於2017年達西·貝爾的同名小說改編。安娜·肯德里克飾演的女性結識了布蕾克·萊弗利飾演的一名時尚達人並對其癡迷不已，而這位時尚達人也許包藏着一些致命的陰謀，隨後肯德里克飾演的女主竟然神祕消失了。肯德里克難道是被她帥氣的丈夫陷害了？扮演丈夫的是《摘金奇緣》主演、BBC世界新聞頻道旅遊節目主持人亨利·戈爾丁。影片劇情可謂是峯迴路轉。該片將於9月13日在中國香港和新加坡上映，9月14日在羅馬尼亞、中國臺灣和美國上映，9月20日在澳大利亞和英國上映。（資料來源：獅門影業）

Bel Canto《美聲》

主演：朱麗安·摩爾 / 克里斯多弗·蘭伯特 / 渡邊謙 / 奧萊克·克魯帕 / 塞巴斯蒂安·科赫

Julianne Moore stars as an opera singer who performs at a swanky soiree hosted by a wealthy businessman (Ken Watanabe) in a Latin American country currently embroiled in a civil war. Rebels storm the location of the party and take everyone hostage. And it turns out that the government may want a fortissimo solution: they might storm in and kill everyone, hostages included, just to score a PR victory against the rebels. Somehow, though, Julianne Moore has to resolve this situation through the power of her voice. Released September 13 in Russia and September 14 in the US (Credit: Screen Media Films)

朱麗安·摩爾扮演一位歌劇演唱家，到拉美國家一位富商（渡邊謙飾演）主辦的奢華晚宴上演唱，而這個國家正深陷內戰。叛軍攻入了晚會現場，把每個人都抓來當人質。政府有可能下狠手，讓士兵攻進去殺死包括人質在內的所有人，只爲了滅掉叛軍氣焰，打贏公關戰。不過，朱麗安·摩爾似乎必須用歌聲的力量來解決這一困境。該片將於9月13日在俄羅斯上映，9月14日在美國上映。（資料來源：屏媒影業）

Destination Wedding《終點的婚禮》

主演：基努·裏維斯 / 薇諾娜·瑞德

One of the most gratifying developments in recent cinema history has been the mutual mid-career renaissances of Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves. Both look as good as they ever have and their talents have matured significantly. Now we get to see them together in Destination Wedding, a romantic comedy about two singles – Ryder and Reeves – sorely missing having a plus-one in their life, who are invited to a friend’s wedding. Ryder’s character is the ex-girlfriend of the groom, and she’s still pining. Reeves appears to have a case of acute melancholia – and he’s sporting his hair from the John Wick movies, so bloodshed may be at hand. (Or at least jokes that kill.) The two of them hate each other and curse the connubial fates that threw them together to endure a spectacle of matrimonial bliss – surely a post-wedding hook-up is in order? Released September 6 in Greece and Hungary, September 7 in Estonia, September 17 in Lithuania and September 20 in Singapore (Credit: Regatta)

影壇近日最令人欣喜的事就是薇諾娜·瑞德和基努·裏維斯攜手並進了事業第二春。兩個人的顏值狀態都很不錯，演技也精進不少。我們將看到瑞德和裏維斯在愛情喜劇《終點的婚禮》中扮演一對單身男女，痛失另一半的兩人受邀參加一個朋友的婚禮。瑞德的身份是新郎的前女友，而她依然爲愛神傷。裏維斯似乎患有嚴重的憂鬱症，他的髮型和《疾速追殺》中的一樣，也許會有一番廝殺。（至少會有一些笑死人不償命的笑話。）兩個人互相憎惡，詛咒將他們拉到一起來目睹新人甜蜜婚禮的命運，但也許婚禮結束後兩人會擦出愛情火花？該片將於9月6日在希臘和匈牙利上映，9月7日在愛沙尼亞上映，9月17日在立陶宛上映，9月20日在新加坡上映。（資料來源：Regatta）

The Miseducation of Cameron Post《卡梅倫的錯誤教育》

主演：科洛·莫瑞茲 / 薩莎·萊恩 / 詹妮弗·艾莉 / 小約翰·加拉赫 / 福勒斯特·古德勒克

So-called “conversion therapy” centres for LGBT youth are often shunned – though not rendered extinct – today, but in the 1990s they were still a thriving business. In the US especially, Evangelical Christians would send their LGBT children to camps and retreats offering pseudo-scientific ‘medical’ treatments to turn gay kids straight. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for US Drama at the Sundance Film Festival in January, The Miseducation of Cameron Post examines the experience of teenagers forced to attend one such program, led by a fiercely homophobic conversion-therapy proponent played by Jennifer Ehle. Chloë Grace Moretz plays Cameron Post, a teen who’s strongly considering running away from the clinic – and, presumably, from her family as well. Released September 7 in the UK and Ireland (Credit: FilmRise)

人們經常對同性戀青少年進行所謂的性取向轉化治療的機構避而不談，儘管這種機構現在幾乎絕跡了，但是在上世紀90年代卻是一個繁榮的產業。尤其在美國，新教派基督徒會把同性戀孩子送去這類治療中心進行僞科學治療，給他們的性取向“撥亂反正”。《卡梅倫的錯誤教育》在今年一月份的聖丹斯電影節上贏得了美國戲劇評審團大獎。該片講述了數名青少年被迫參加了一個性取向治療項目，主持該項目的是一名極度厭惡同性戀的性取向轉化療法倡導者，由詹妮弗·艾莉扮演。科洛·莫瑞茲扮演卡梅倫·坡斯特——一名正認真考慮逃離治療中心的少女，想必也要逃離她的父母。該片將於9月7日在英國和愛爾蘭上映。（資料來源：FilmRise）

Smallfoot 《雪怪大冒險》

配音演員：贊達亞 / 查寧·塔圖姆 / 丹尼·德維託 / 吉娜·羅德里格茲 / 詹姆斯·柯登

Warner Bros was once a studio considered legendary for its output of cartoon shorts featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd – now they barely produce any animation at all. But their few theatrically-released animations the past few years have been stellar, notably The Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie. Other than 2016’s already-forgotten Storks and the recent superhero parody Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, Smallfoot is the first non-Lego animation released by Warner Bros in 15 years. It humourously dramatizes the reverse of an urban legend: that “bigfoot,” a furry creature of icy mountains and coniferous forests – in the Himalayas known as a yeti – exists and has even been documented on film (always in blurry, obviously fake photographs). Smallfoot tells the story of a yeti (Channing Tatum) who is trying to prove to his fellow bigfeet that humans, are smallfeet, and exist – they think humans are myths. Released September 20 in Australia, September 27 in Brazil, Hong Kong and Singapore and September 28 in Turkey, South Africa and the US (Credit: Warner Bros Pictures)

華納兄弟電影公司曾經是出產卡通短片的傳奇公司，它曾出品過兔八哥、達菲鴨、豬小弟和埃爾默·福德這些著名動畫形象，可現在幾乎不製作任何動畫片了。過去幾年華納製作了幾部出色的動畫電影，比如《樂高大電影》和《樂高蝙蝠俠大電影》。除了早已被遺忘的2016年動畫《逗鳥外傳：萌寶滿天飛》和前一陣的超級英雄惡搞片《少年泰坦出擊電影版》，《雪怪大冒險》是華納兄弟15年來第一部非樂高動畫電影。這部電影幽默地講述了一個都市傳說的反轉故事：冰山和原始森林中的長毛怪物“大腳怪”（在喜馬拉雅山被稱作“雪人”）真實存在甚至曾被拍下來（往往是模糊的假照片）。《雪怪大冒險》講述了一隻雪怪（查寧·塔圖姆配音）試圖向雪怪同伴證明人類（小腳怪）的存在，它們一直認爲人類的存在只是傳說。該片將於9月20日在澳大利亞上映，9月27日在巴西、中國香港和新加坡上映，9月28日在土耳其、南非和美國上映。（資料來源：華納兄弟電影公司）
