變形金剛續集《大黃蜂》有重量級導演加入

A common complaint about the Transformers movies is that the robots take a backseat. Sam Witwicky, Cade Yeager—these are the main characters of the Transformers movies, not Optimus Prime and Megatron. You might think a spinoff film focusing on one specific Transformer could change that. But don’t hold your breath.
大家普遍抱怨，在變形金剛電影中，機器人已退居二線。薩姆·維特維奇以及凱德·耶格爾成爲了變形金剛電影中的主角，而不是擎天柱和威震天。你可能認爲以一個特定的變形金剛爲主角的續集會改變這一局面。但是不要抱太大希望。

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Hailee Steinfeld is in talks to star in the 2018 Bumblebee Transformers spin-off, from Kubo and the Two Strings director Travis Knight. She’ll play “a tomboy who also holds a job as a mechanic after school,” which is both positive and negative. The positive is that she was amazing in True Grit, gave the best performance in The Edge of Seventeen. She’s got a good mix of innocence and confidence that could work well in a big action movie like this.
據好萊塢報道，海麗·斯坦菲爾德在與特拉維斯·奈特導演洽談出演2018年上映的變形金剛大黃蜂的續集，特拉維斯·奈特導演曾執導過《魔弦傳說》。海麗·斯坦菲爾德將在電影中飾演“一個假小子，而且在放學後也會變成一名機修工”，這既有積極的一面，也有消極的一面。積極的一面就是，她在《大地驚雷》中的表現很精彩，在《誘惑十七歲》中也展現了個人的最佳表演。純真和自信在她身上很好地融合在一起，在這樣一部大型動作電影中，這種特質會很不錯。

On the other hand, really? Another story about a gritty young kid who becomes friends with a Transformer? Haven’t we already seen this four times already? Let me guess, she and Bumblebee develop a deep friendship and he ends up saving her and maybe the world too?
另一方面，真的嗎？又一個勇敢的小孩子與變形金剛成爲朋友的故事？這樣的故事，我們不是已經看過四次了嗎？讓我猜猜看，她和大黃蜂建立了深厚的友誼，最後他也救了她，也許還拯救了這個世界？

Anyway, as someone who likes Transformers in general, I was hoping the spinoffs would dive a bit deeper into the robots themselves. Doing a movie about Bumblebee, without all the other Autobots, feels like telling a focused, character-driven story about one of the Transformers—not yet another movie about the relationship between the humans and the robots.
不管怎麼說，作爲變形金剛的一般粉絲，我希望，這部續集將更深入地探討機器人本身。製作一部關於大黃蜂的電影，不涉及其他所有的汽車人，感覺像是要講述以變形金剛之一爲主角的一個目標明確的故事，而不是另一部有關人類與機器人之間的關係的電影。

Knight is the one saving grace here. He’s a director who has no reason to make a movie like this unless he really wants to. As the head of Laika who has a big hand in the amazing films his company makes, the only reason he’d have to devote years of his life to making a Transformers movie is if he connected with the script. And maybe, that will include the robots getting a starring role.
由奈特執導是這部電影的唯一可取之處。他沒有理由來製作這樣一部電影，除非他真的願意執導。作爲萊卡電影公司的領袖，在他的公司製作那些了不起的電影時，他發揮了巨大的作用。他不得不投入幾年時間來製作一部變形金剛的電影，唯一的原因可能就是他參與了劇本改編。也許，這部電影會由機器人來擔任主角呢。

The Bumblebee movie is scheduled for release June 8, 2018.
這部關於大黃蜂的電影定於2018年6月8日上映。
