《哈利·波特》外傳開始啦！小雀斑出演男一號

Eddie Redmayne is officially starring in Harry Potter Movie Fantastic Beasts.

據(jù)官方消息公布，埃迪·雷德梅尼將正式出演《哈利·波特》外傳系列之《神奇動物在哪里》。

Rumors swirled for months that Redmayne, 33, was being courted for the starring role in the big-screen adaptation of J.K.Rowling's 2001 book. Warner Bros. finally confirmed on Monday, June 1, that the British star has signed on for the flick.

幾個月以來一直有消息謠傳，J.K.羅琳2001年寫的小說要改編成大電影，并由33歲的雷德梅尼擔綱主演。6月1日華納影業(yè)最終證實了這一消息，確認已與雷德梅尼簽了出演合同。

"Eddie Redmayne has emerged as one of today’s most extraordinarily talented andacclaimed actors," Warner Bros. exec Greg Silverman said in a statement. "We are thrilled to welcome him into J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World, where we know he will deliver a remarkable performance as Newt Scamander, the central character in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

“埃迪·雷德梅尼是現(xiàn)如今最有才華和最受歡迎的演員之一，” 華納兄弟首席執(zhí)行官吉格·斯維曼發(fā)言稱，“我們?yōu)槔椎旅纺峒尤肓_琳的魔法世界激動不已并表示熱烈歡迎。我們相信由他飾演《神奇動物在哪里》主角紐特·斯卡曼德將會非常出色。”

The Oscar winner will take on the role of magizoologist and author Newt, whose work later makes its way to the halls of Hogwarts. The flick will take place decades before Harry Potter's famed story, but is not serving as a direct prequel to the seven books and eight movies.

這名奧斯卡影帝將出演魔法動物學家和作者紐特——紐特的作品后來成為霍格沃茲魔法學院的教材。這部影片的時間線設置在哈利·波特故事發(fā)生的幾十年之前，但并不是哈利波特7本小說和8部電影的前傳。

"Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world," Rowling said of the initial film announcement. "The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, 70 years before Harry's gets underway."

“盡管《神奇動物在哪里》的故事依舊發(fā)生在《哈利·波特》的魔法世界中，該片并不是《哈利·波特》的前傳，也不是續(xù)集，而是對魔法世界的擴充，” 羅琳在新片發(fā)布會上說道，“任何讀過《哈利·波特》書籍或看過系列電影的人對這個隱秘魔法世界里的規(guī)章和習俗都不會感到陌生。但是，影片的時間線設置在哈利波特故事開啟70年前的紐約市。”

Daniel Radcliffe, who famously played Harry for 10 years, is not expected to appear in Fantastic Beasts, nor are his main Harry Potter costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

扮演了十年哈利的丹尼爾·雷德克里夫并不會出現(xiàn)在《神奇動物》里，同樣《哈利·波特》的另兩名主演艾瑪·沃特森和魯伯特·格林特也不會出現(xiàn)在該片里。

David Yates has been booked to helm the upcoming movie. The celebrated filmmaker previously led Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Parts 1 and 2.

大衛(wèi)·葉茨確認執(zhí)導該部電影。此前《哈利·波特與鳳凰令》、《哈利·波特與混血王子》、《哈利·波特與死亡圣器》的上下兩部都是由大衛(wèi)執(zhí)導的。
