《神探夏洛克》第5季遲更,編劇都在忙着它

The creators of Sherlock are officially adapting Dracula for the BBC.

《神探夏洛克》的編劇們正在爲BBC正式改編《德古拉》。

As first reported by Variety, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat are currently working on a fresh version of Bram Stoker's tale. It'll run for three 90-minute instalments and will be broadcast on Netflix outside of the UK.

《Variety》雜誌最先報道稱，馬克·加蒂斯和史蒂文·莫法特目前正在製作布萊姆·斯托克故事的新版本。劇集將分成三集播出，每集90分鐘，並將在英國以外的Netflix平臺上播出。

The series, set in 1897, will revolve around the blood-drinking vampire from Transylvania who targets residents of London.

這部電視劇以1897年爲背景，故事中心是以倫敦居民爲目標的特蘭西瓦尼亞嗜血的吸血鬼。

Speaking about the project, the duo said: “There have always been stories about great evil. What’s special about Dracula is that Bram Stoker gave evil its own hero“ with BBC director of content Charlotte Moore adding: “Genius duo Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss turn their attentions to Dracula for unmissable event television on BBC One.”

談到這個項目，兩位主創說：“關於邪惡的故事一直都有。《德古拉》的特別之處在於，布萊姆·斯托克賦予了邪惡獨有的英雄內涵，BBC內容總監夏洛特·摩爾補充道：“天才二人組合史蒂文·莫法特和馬克·加蒂斯將注意力轉向《德古拉》，他們將在BBC1臺播出一檔不容錯過的電視節目”。

The series puts an end to any speculation that Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, will soon return. It aired its latest episode in January 2017.

因此本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇和馬丁·弗瑞曼主演的《神探夏洛克》即將回歸的猜測就此結束。它在2017年1月播出了最後一集。

British actor Freeman, who has just been confirmed to lead new ITV series A Confession, sparked controversy after seeming to claim that Sherlock's immense success around the world has put a strain on his excitement for the series.

英國演員弗瑞曼剛剛確認將主演英國獨立電視臺的新劇《認罪》，他說夏洛克在世界範圍內獲得的成功讓他對該系列又激動又緊張，這引發了爭議。

Following a heated response from co-star Benedict Cumberbatch, he elaborated upon his original point, adding: “My point with was the expectations can be heavy.”

弗瑞曼的話也引發了了另一位主演本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇的熱烈反應，他闡述並補充了自己最初的觀點：“我的看法就是，大家的期望太高了”。
