Crazy Rich Asians 《摘金奇緣》
“I wanted to introduce a contemporary Asia to a North American audience.” That’s what author Kevin Kwan told The Daily Beast not long after the publication of his novel Crazy Rich Asians, about the lifestyles of the rich and fabulous in his native Singapore. In this new film adaptation produced by the team led by producer Nina Jacobson that brought the Hunger Games books to the big screen, Constance Wu plays a US economics professor who discovers that her boyfriend’s family is one of Singapore’s richest and is caught in a web of schemes and secrets. It also heralds the arrival of a new star, Henry Golding, as Wu’s love interest – Golding is a presenter on BBC World News’ programme The Travel Show – along with established talents such as Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina, Ken Jeong and Ronny Chieng. Released 15 August in the US and Portugal, 22 August in The Philippines and Singapore and 31 August in Cambodia and Lithuania. (Credit: Warner Bros Pictures)

The Spy Who Dumped Me 《我的間諜前男友》
Kate McKinnon is now one of the most respected and prolific comedians in the US: aside from the bevy of characters she assays on Saturday Night Live, she’s appeared in Ghostbusters, Office Christmas Party and Rough Night in just the past two years alone. Mila Kunis, on the other hand, is an actress with incredible untapped comedic potential – it’s been hinted at in movies like Friends With Benefits and Bad Moms, but hopefully her knack for hilarity will be fully unleashed in this new team-up with McKinnon, The Spy Who Dumped Me. Spy spoofs are a dime a dozen, but this one could be interesting for being a female buddy comedy: Kunis’s ex-boyfriend turns out to work for the CIA and baddies come after him by coming after her first. Only her pal McKinnon remains at her side as all manner of supervillainy threatens her: but the bad guys will find out that, together, they’re Double Trouble. Released 3 August in the US, Pakistan and Spain and 22 August in the UK and Ireland. (Credit: Lionsgate)
凱特·麥克金農(nóng)如今是美國最受尊敬、最多產(chǎn)的喜劇演員,除了她在《周六夜現(xiàn)場》扮演過的多個角色,她在過去兩年間就出演了《捉鬼敢死隊》、《辦公室圣誕派對》、《倉皇一夜》等多部電影。而米拉·庫尼斯則是喜劇潛力巨大的女演員,她的喜劇天分在《朋友也上床》、《壞媽媽》等電影中可見一斑。希望和麥克金農(nóng)搭檔的這部新電影中,她的喜劇才能可以得到充分發(fā)揮。間諜惡搞電影一抓一大把,但這部電影的有趣之處在于這是一部姐妹淘喜?。簬炷崴沟那澳杏驯话l(fā)現(xiàn)是中央情報局特工,壞人為了對付他就先對庫尼斯下手。在庫尼斯受到壞蛋的各種威脅時,只有好姐妹麥克金農(nóng)一直守候在她身邊。但是壞人遲早會發(fā)現(xiàn),她倆的組合是雙重麻煩。該片將于8月3日在美國、巴基斯坦和西班牙上映,8月22日在英國和愛爾蘭上映。(資料來源:獅門影業(yè))
The Wife 《賢妻》
“Close is so extraordinary… that she lifts an otherwise ordinary movie,” writes The Hollywood Reporter’s Jon Frosch in his review of The Wife. Glenn Close plays the wife of an author (Jonathan Pryce) who’s just been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature; for decades, she’s neglected her own calling as a writer to support her husband, a man who by all appearances lives up to the cliché that a great artist can’t be a good man. And after he becomes a Laureate, she may finally have had enough. Screenwriter Jane Anderson (It Could Happen to You) adapts Meg Wolitzer’s 2003 novel, with Sweden’s Björn Runge making his English-language directing debut. Released 17 August in the US and 24 August in South Africa. (Credit: Sony Pictures Classics)
《好萊塢記者報》的喬恩·弗洛什在評論電影《賢妻》時寫道:“克洛斯太神了,她可以把一部原本很普通的電影變得不平凡。”格倫·克洛斯扮演一位剛獲得諾貝爾文學獎的作家(喬納森·普雷斯扮演)的妻子,幾十年來,她一直忽略了自己的寫作事業(yè),盡心支持丈夫,而這位丈夫顯然印證了一句老話:一個偉大的藝術家不可能是一個好人。在丈夫摘得諾貝爾桂冠后,她也許終于受夠了。編劇簡·安德森(電影《傾城佳話》的編劇)改編了梅格·沃利策爾2003年的小說,該片是瑞典的比約恩·榮格導演的首部英文影片。電影將于8月17日在美國上映,8月24日在南非上映。(資料來源:索尼經(jīng)典影業(yè))
