The forthcoming Michael Jackson biopic is starting with the man in the mirror.
即將上映的邁克爾·杰克遜傳記片將從鏡子里的那個人開始。
On Wednesday, Lionsgate debuted a surprise first look at Michael, an upcoming film about the King of Pop directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) and produced by Graham King (Bohemian Rhapsody). King took the stage at CinemaCon to show the audience the first footage of the film, despite the project still being in production.
本周三,獅門影業(yè)發(fā)布了《邁克爾》的首映式,這是一部即將上映的關(guān)于流行天王的電影,由安托萬·福卡(《訓(xùn)練日》)執(zhí)導(dǎo),格雷厄姆·金(《波西米亞狂想曲》)制作。King在CinemaCon的舞臺上向觀眾展示了電影的第一個鏡頭,盡管該項目仍在制作中。
"In a biopic, there is added expectation to represent an adaptive, authentic portrayal that's faithful to the subject," said King. "There's biopics and then there's Michael Jackson. An enigma, full of eccentricity, electrifying talent, arguably the most famous entertainer to ever cross the planet. And yet behind the unrelenting scrutiny and the accusations and the grinding media spotlight, he was simply a man. A man who lived a very complicated life. The movie will get into all of it, including over 30 songs, recreating some of the most iconic performances on stage as well as his life out of the public eye."
金說:“在傳記片中,人們期望表現(xiàn)出一種適應(yīng)的、真實的、忠于主題的描繪。”“有傳記片,還有邁克爾·杰克遜。一個謎,充滿了古怪,令人興奮的天賦,可以說是地球上最著名的藝人。然而,在無情的審查、指控和媒體無情的聚光燈下,他只是一個普通人。一個過著復(fù)雜生活的人。這部電影將涉及所有這些,包括30多首歌曲,重現(xiàn)舞臺上一些最具標志性的表演,以及他在公眾視線之外的生活。”
The promise to "get into all of it" is striking, given that Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed recently blasted the biopic, calling it "a complete whitewash."
考慮到《離開夢幻島》的導(dǎo)演丹·里德最近抨擊了這部傳記片,稱其為“徹底的粉飾”,“深入了解一切”的承諾令人震驚。
“It’s an out-and-out attempt to completely rewrite the allegations and dismiss them out of hand, and contains complete lies,” Reed told The Times of London. “You never even see him alone with any boys when it is a matter of fact that he shared his bed with small children for many years.” (Reed told Entertainment Weekly he made the remarks after reading a draft of the Michael script.)
里德在接受倫敦《泰晤士報》采訪時表示:“這是一次徹底改寫指控并立即駁回它們的徹頭徹尾的嘗試,其中包含了完全的謊言。”“你甚至從來沒有見過他單獨和任何男孩在一起,而事實上,他多年來一直和小孩子們睡在一張床上。(里德告訴《娛樂周刊》,他是在讀了邁克爾的劇本草稿后說這番話的。)
Reed's 2019 documentary focuses on the allegations made by Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who both claim that Jackson sexually abused them when they were children in the late ‘80s and early-to-mid ‘90s.
里德2019年的紀錄片重點關(guān)注韋德·羅布森和詹姆斯·薩夫查克的指控,他們都聲稱杰克遜在80年代末和90年代初到中期對他們進行了性虐待。
