好萊塢將翻拍《武則天》！中國演員或將客串?大綱
Metan Entertainment and Entree Pictures are to produce an English-language movie about Chinese Empress Wu.
美天娛樂和Entree電影公司將製作一部關於中國女皇武則天的英文電影。
The film is an adaptation of the novel “Empress” by Evelyn McCune, with a screenplay by Ron Bass (“Rain Man”).
這部電影改編自伊夫林·麥考恩的小說《女皇》，由《雨人》編劇Ron Bass執筆。
The film will feature an American and Canadian Chinese cast, and cameos from top China-born actors and actresses.
這部電影將由美國和加拿大的華裔演員出演，並有中國的頂尖演員客串。
Pre-production is set to begin in May 2019, with director and key cast members to be announced.
前期製作將於2019年5月開始，導演及主要演員名單也將會在那個時候被公佈。
“The story has been told in China many times, but this marks the first time it will be told through an international viewpoint. Unlike traditional Chinese depictions, she is not out for power. Rather, she is an intellectual modern woman who is trying to find her equal,” said Choi Joon-hwan, founder of Entree.
Entree電影創始人崔俊煥表示，“武則天的故事在中國已經被翻拍過很多次了，但這是第一次通過國際化視角來描繪。與中國傳統的描寫不同，她並不渴望權力。相反，她是一位努力追求平等的有思想的現代女性。”
“In most portrayals, she is a power hungry brutal woman. This version represents her in an entirely new light, showing her intense passion for knowledge, the arts and romance.”
在大多數描繪中，她是一個渴望權力的野性女人。這個版本從一個全新的視角展現了她對知識、藝術和浪漫的熱情。“
“The recent success of ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ has opened up everyone’s mind to the fact that diversity in filmmaking is a wise thing to do, not just creatively, but it’s simply good business,” said Namer, who is CEO of Metan Global Entertainment.
美天娛樂的CEO納默說：最近《摘金奇緣》的大火讓每個人都意識到多元文化是電影製作的明智之舉，這不僅僅具有創作性，更是一筆好生意。
