Suraj Sharma is joining the starting lineup for Disney's baseball drama Million Dollar Arm, THR has confirmed.
The film, which stars Jon Hamm, will mark the actor's first major role since his Life of Pi turn.
蘇瑞吉已經(jīng)正式接下迪士尼的棒球電影《百萬金臂》(Million Dollar Arm),將與熱門影集《廣告狂人》(Mad Men)男主角喬漢姆(Jon Hamm),一起合演這部真人真事改編的電影,這也是蘇瑞吉被李安帶進(jìn)門后,正式演出好萊塢的第一部電影。
With a screenplay by Tom McCarthy, the story centers on J.B. Bernstein, a real-life sports agent who discovered professional pitchers Dinesh Patel and Rinku Singh through a reality show he staged in India by auditioning 40,000 cricket players.
《百萬金臂》描述美國球探伯恩斯坦(J.B. Bernstein),在印度制作了一檔電視真人秀“百萬金臂”,想從近四萬人中發(fā)掘新興棒球投手的故事。結(jié)果找到了2個前標(biāo)槍選手,他們一個叫派泰爾(Dinesh Patel),另一個叫辛恩(Rinku Singh),在參加節(jié)目前,他們從沒接觸過棒球,結(jié)果經(jīng)過訓(xùn)練之后,他倆最后真的被大聯(lián)盟匹茲堡海盜隊簽下。
Sharma will play one of the pitchers. Alan Arkin is also onboard as a retired baseball scout.
目前只知道蘇瑞吉將扮演這2個選手中的一個,但具體是誰還不清楚,至于喬漢姆則是扮演球探伯恩斯,此外還有老牌演員艾倫阿金(Alan Arkin)將出演另一名退休球探。電影預(yù)計今年五月在印度開拍。
對于蘇瑞吉離開李安羽翼的第一部電影,影迷也不必太擔(dān)心他會水土不服,因為不過一部《少年派》,他就在李安的調(diào)教下,勇奪日前舉行極具民意《MTV電影獎》的“最驚死人表演獎”,以及拉斯維加斯電影節(jié)的“最佳新人”,更入圍了英國奧斯卡新人獎。
1988年版經(jīng)典影片《百萬金臂》簡介
A blend of comedy, drama and romance, Bull Durham follows the intertwining of three lives brought together by the great American pastime. Crash Davis (Kevin Costner, showcasing his Midwestern charm) is a perennial Minor Leaguer assigned to the Durham Bulls, a hapless team with a long tradition of mediocrity. There he tutors a young, dim-witted pitching prodigy, Nuke LaLoosh (Tim Robbins) in the ways of baseball, life, and love. Each strikes up a romance with Annie (Susan Sarandon), the team's "mascot" who takes it upon herself to sleep with a new player every season. Each has his/her own conflict: Crash struggles to end his career with some measure of dignity; Nuke struggles to make it to the "big show"; and Annie struggles to find something more than a roll in the hay -- and of course, Crash and Nuke come into conflict over Annie's affections to further complicate matters. The film treats the sport of baseball with a sort of casual reverence, highlighting both the drama and the humor inherent in the game, illustrated by Annie's numerous references to baseball as "her religion."
這是一部幽默風(fēng)趣、半寫實主義的影片。在所有描寫棒球運動的體育片中,此片可謂是佼佼者。片中出色的比賽場面,足以令任何體育報道黯然失色。 凱文·柯斯特納(Kevin Costner)扮演主人公克拉什(Crash)。他年屆三十,只是一家小球隊的投手。作為一名職業(yè)運動員,克拉什早已告別了棒球生涯的巔峰時代,之所以還在從事這項運動,完全是出于對它的熱愛。因為對于他來說,棒球是生活的全部意義所在。紐克·拉盧什(Nuke Laloosh)(由蒂姆·羅賓斯Tim Robbins飾)的出現(xiàn)打破了他平靜的生活。紐克是一名極具潛力的投手,但卻有著諸多怪癖。每次上場,他都要穿著女友的內(nèi)衣,否則就無法全力以赴地參加比賽。在克拉什的細(xì)心調(diào)教下,紐克的技術(shù)一天天地提高??蓛扇藚s同時愛上了一個熱情奔放的姑娘。它也是個準(zhǔn)棒球迷(由蘇珊·薩蘭登Susan Sarandon 飾)。
