Remember last year when it seemed as though Bridesmaids would 1)herald some exciting new era in which women would have a bigger stake in the summer? Oh well. It’s back to the usual 2)assortment of capes and cars—back, in other words, to action.
At least, though, the vision has expanded enough to let more women in on it. The Dark Knight has Catwoman. Brave is the first Pixar 3)fantasia imagined entirely around a female protagonist, and, in Hope Springs, Meryl Streep sets Dr. Steve Carell to work on her marriage to Tommy Lee Jones. But men appear to be 4)horning in on the lady’s action. So while the recent trend still counts as an expansion of sorts, it’s still summer boys’ club 2012. Dwayne Johnson joins G.I.Joe. Jeremy Renner becomes Jason Bourne. Andrew Garfield turns into the amazing Spider-Man. And, in Total Recall, Colin Farrell takes over for the 5)Guvernator. What follows is a seasonal guide to those movies, plus everything else to expect while you’re expecting.
Brave
The center of Pixar’s annual summer entry is an archer (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) put under an 6)evil spell that turns her into a witch. Breaking it requires an adventure through the Scottish highlands.That’s not much of a description, but we also once wrote that Toy Story was about a bunch of talking toys. Brave also features the voices of Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, and Emma Thompson.
The Amazing Spider-Man
The Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire Spidey 7)trilogy 8)ran out of gas and Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark was a Broadway 9)fiasco. 10)Gasp! Can this franchise be saved? Director Marc Webb and star Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) leap to the rescue with this 11)reboot of yet another superhero series. The good news: Webb, who directed 500 Days of Summer, may bring a little of his indie sensibility along and everyone’s favorite new star, Emma Stone, is playing Peter Parker’s new love, Gwen Stacey. (Rhys Ifans plays supervillain The Lizard.)
To Rome with Love
Can Woody Allen keep his 12)lucky streak going after last year’s Midnight in Paris became his biggest hit ever? The filmmaker’s past history indicates…that you shouldn’t get your hopes too high. But the cast, as always, intrigues; who else would put Penelope Cruz, Ellen Page, Greta Gerwig, Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin, and Roberto Benigni in the same movie? And if nothing else, 13)armchair travelers should be happy, since Rome reportedly gets the same treatment Allen’s last film gave 14)the City of Light.
The Dark Knight Rises
Football fields collapse, the Williamsburg Bridge explodes, mobs descend on Manhattan—and the 15)eeriest part of the trailer for Christopher Nolan’s final installment in his Batman trilogy is how quiet it is. After 2008’s The Dark Knight, expectations are beyond high and probably 16)insurmountable. For additional insurance, there’s Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman bedeviling Christian Bale’s Batman, and British sensation Tom Hardy as Bane, a terrorist villain with a Hannibal Lecter facemask and a 17)sepulchral voice. In a summer overloaded with masked avengers, this is the one we’re waiting for.
Total Recall
W h y r e m a k e t h e 1 9 9 0 A r n o l d Schwarzenegger mindgame action movie? Because it was based on a perfectly good Philip K. Dick short story. Colin Farrell now has the role of a factory 18)drone who learns his memories are implanted and that his real identity is a lethal agent in a global war. Problem is, he’s not sure which side he’s on, or why his lovely wife (Kate Beckinsale) is trying to kill him. Len Wiseman directs, Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston costar. If it works, how about remaking Kindergarten Cop next?
The Bourne Legacy
Check the title: This isn’t your older brother’s Jason Bourne. In fact, it’s not Jason Bourne at all but Aaron Cross(Jeremy Renner), the latest CIA killing machine to wake out of 19)amnesia. Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) steps up from writing the series to directing this one as well, and the cast of Cross’s minders is a heavy-hitting crew that includes Edward Norton, Albert Finney, David Strathairn, Donna Murphy, and Rachel Weisz. Can an action franchise survive the loss of its star (Matt Damon), its director (Paul Greengrass), and even its title character?
Sparkle
This remake of the 1976 Irene Cara musical about a 20)Supremesstyle singing group has become an unexpected memorial for the woman who 21)moved mountains to get it made: Whitney Houston. The late R&B star, who drowned in a hotel bathtub this February, executive produced and costars as the disapproving mother of the lead character (American Idol winner Jordin Sparks) and her sisters. Derek Luke, Mike Epps, and Omari Hardwick are the men in their lives, and Cee Lo Green lends his voice and massivity to the proceedings—but it’s doubtful people will be talking about anyone other than Whitney.
还记得去年夏天，电影《伴娘》貌似开创了一个让人兴奋的新纪元，女性电影能在夏季档期独占鳌头？但是，今年，一切又回归到了旧模式——披风斗篷以及快车短道，换句话说，回归动作片。
不过，话又说回来，夏季电影已不再拘泥于旧模式，而是让更多女性参与其中。《蝙蝠侠之黑暗骑士》有猫女的身影。《勇敢传说》是皮克斯第一部以女性为主角的幻想作品，而在《大希望温泉》里面，梅里尔·斯特里普向史蒂夫·卡瑞尔医生求救，拯救自己与汤姆·李·琼斯的婚姻。但即便是女性动作片，往往也不乏男性角色掺和抢风头。虽说潮流趋向多样化，但2012年的夏季还是男孩们的天下。巨石强森加入《特种部队》系列。杰瑞米·雷纳摇身一变成了《谍影重重》男主角杰森·伯恩。安德鲁·加菲尔德晋身为超凡蜘蛛侠。还有，在《全面回忆》中，科林·法瑞尔出任“终结者”。接下来将是一份夏季电影指南，以及你所期待的所有东西。
《勇敢传说》
皮克斯这部夏季主打电影的故事围绕一名因魔咒而变成巫婆的弓箭手（由凯莉·麦克唐纳配音）展开。而打破魔咒需要经历一场穿越苏格兰高地的冒险之旅。故事梗概仅此而已，看似简单，就像以前我们介绍《玩具总动员》，也只是说那是一部讲述一群会说话的玩具的故事。影片配音阵容还有朱莉·沃尔特斯、比利·康诺利以及艾玛·汤普森。
《超凡蜘蛛侠》
由山姆·雷米执导、托比·马奎尔主演的《蜘蛛侠》三部曲人气已尽，而《蜘蛛侠：消灭黑暗》则是百老汇的一场灾难。喘口气！《蜘蛛侠》系列能够重生吗？导演马克·韦布和曾出演过《社交网络》的安德鲁·加菲尔德迅速反应，对这个超级英雄系列电影进行了别样的翻拍。好消息是：作为《和莎莫的500天》的导演，韦布会把他拍独立电影的清新气息带入《蜘蛛侠》之中，而“大众甜心”艾玛·斯通则会扮演彼得·帕克的新爱人格温·史黛西，瑞斯·伊凡斯则扮演恶人“蜥蜴博士”。
《爱在罗马》
继去年《午夜巴黎》大热之后，伍迪·艾伦今年还能否继续一路“高歌猛进”？根据这位电影人的过往经历，你不应该抱太高的期望。不过，如往常一样，主演阵容星光熠熠——还有谁能让佩内洛普·克鲁兹、艾伦·佩奇、格蕾塔·葛韦格、杰西·艾森伯格、亚历克·鲍德温以及罗伯托·贝尼尼齐聚一堂？别的不说，喜欢足不出户而饱览各地风光的人们应该会很高兴，因为据说艾伦会捕捉罗马这座城市的种种美丽，就像上一部电影中的巴黎一样。
《蝙蝠侠前传：黑暗骑士崛起》
足球场坍塌、威廉斯堡大桥爆炸、暴徒袭击曼哈顿——在克里斯托弗·诺兰执导的《蝙蝠侠》三部曲最终篇的电影预告中，最为诡异的是一切显得那么平静。2008年的《蝙蝠侠之黑暗骑士》上映之后，观众的期待度已经不能用“高”字来形容了，可能要用“不可抵挡”才行。在此双重保险之下，加入了由安妮·海瑟薇扮演的猫女做反派，她可让克里斯蒂安·贝尔饰演的蝙蝠侠不得安宁，还有英国文艺男汤姆·哈迪扮演的“毒药”——一个带着汉尼拔面具、声音阴沉的恐怖分子。这个夏季不缺戴面具的复仇人士，但这一个，正是万众期待的。
《全面回忆》
为什么重拍1990年阿诺·施瓦辛格主演的惊悚动作片？因为这部电影是改编自菲利普·K·迪克的经典短篇小说。科林·法瑞尔扮演的是一名工厂小工人，他发现自己的记忆是被移植过来的，而自己真正的身份却是一名身陷全球战争中的毒辣特工。问题是，他不确定自己到底站在哪一边，以及为什么他亲爱的妻子（由凯特·贝金赛尔扮演）试图杀害自己。本片由伦·怀斯曼执导，主演还包括杰西卡·贝尔以及布莱恩·克莱斯顿。如果此次翻拍成功，下个翻拍计划何不考虑《幼儿园特警》？
《谍影重重4》
看看这个标题：这不是你老哥那年头的杰森·伯恩。事实上，这和杰森·伯恩毫无关系，它讲述的是由杰瑞米·雷纳扮演的艾伦·克洛斯，一名美国中央情报局的最新杀手如何摆脱失忆的故事。执导过《迈克尔·克莱顿》的托尼·吉尔罗伊担任编剧及导演，而克洛斯的“智囊团”扮演阵容也是重量级的，包括爱德华·诺顿、阿尔伯特·芬尼、大卫·斯特雷泽恩、唐娜·墨菲以及瑞切尔·薇姿。没有了主演马特·戴蒙、导演保罗·格林格拉斯以及标志名字“伯恩”，这部系列动作电影能大卖吗？
《闪耀的花火》
该部电影翻拍自1976年艾瑞尼·卡拉的音乐电影，讲述一个美国女子歌唱组合“至高无上”的故事，有一位女人为这部电影不辞辛劳，谁也没料到这竟成了她的纪念之作，她就是惠特妮·休斯顿。于今年二月溺毙于酒店浴缸的这位R&B歌星，参与了该电影的制作，她所扮演的母亲对女主角（由《美国偶像》冠军乔·斯巴克斯扮演）以及女儿们的行为十分不赞许。德里克·卢克、迈克·艾普斯以及欧玛瑞·哈德威克扮演在她们生活中占有一席之地的那些男人们。希·洛·格林在片中献声，为电影增色不少，但我怀疑，人们除了惠特尼根本就不会关心其他人。
