The first season of Westworld was a wild ride full of twists, thrills, and existential mysteries, but it looks like that's nothing compared to what Season 2 will be when it airs on April 22.
《西部世界》第一季是一場百轉千回、驚險刺激、充斥著各種存在主義謎團的狂野之旅,但和即將于4月22日播出的第二季相比,這些似乎都不算什么。
Entertainment Weekly spoke with the cast of Westworld and some of the people behind the scenes about what we can expect in the reality-bending Westworld and beyond. According to Jeffrey Wright, the actor behind Bernard Lowe, Season 2 goes in hard in really big ways.
《娛樂周刊》日前對話《西部世界》演職人員和幕后團隊,了解接下來我們將會在扭曲現(xiàn)實的西部世界中看到什么。在劇中扮演伯納德的杰弗里·懷特透露說,第二季將會以顛覆的方式強勢回歸。
“The scale of Season 2 is just nuts, literally right out of the gate,” Wright told EW. “It’s so much more expansive, it makes the first season look like a genteel kitchen drama.”
懷特告訴《娛樂周刊》說:“第二季的情節(jié)發(fā)展非常瘋狂,完全不受限制。而且第二季的故事鋪設得更廣,讓第一季看起來就像是在小打小鬧。”
As fans of Westworld know, the first season was pretty far from anything resembling a genteel kitchen drama so we know that Season 2 is probably going to blow minds. Wright and others gave a little insight into what that is going to look like and what their characters are up to in the new season.
《西部世界》的劇迷都了解,第一季絕非是小打小鬧,所以我們就知道第二季很可能會讓我們腦洞大開。懷特和其他劇組人員透露了新一季的劇情走向和各個人物所面臨的命運。
警告:以下內容含有對《西部世界》第二季的微劇透和對第一季的重磅劇透。
For Season 2, the focus will be on the uprising that kicked off in the first season, and at least some of the show's head-scratching mysteries will be solved, showrunner Jonathan Nolan said.
制片人喬納森·諾蘭說,第二季的焦點將集中在第一季爆發(fā)的起義中,該劇最讓人困惑的謎團至少有一部分將會被解開。
“We don’t like to endlessly build mystery; we like to settle our debts by the end of the season,” Nolan said. “We want to feel like the show is rocketing ahead. The first season was a journey inward; this is a journey outward. It’s a search for what else is in the park, and what else is beyond the park.”
諾蘭說:“我們不喜歡無休止地制造謎團;我們想在本季結束之前把之前的謎團都解開。我們想讓這個劇的劇情達到高潮。第一季是一個內在之旅,第二季則是一個外在之旅。第二季將會探尋西部世界公園里和公園外還有什么其他東西。”
Nolan also shared that the show will take a deeper dive into the minds and points-of-view of the hosts.
諾蘭還分享道,該劇將進一步潛進“主人”(西部世界機器居民)們的內心世界,展露他們的想法。
“So as the hosts learn more about their world — and other worlds, and the real world — the audience is doing the same thing,” he said.
他說:“隨著主人們對自己的世界——以及其他世界,還有真實世界——有更多了解,觀眾們也能了解得更多。”
Evan Rachel Wood shared how her character Dolores has evolved and what she's doing with her newfound power.
埃文·蕾切爾·伍德分享了她扮演的角色多蘿絲的演變過程,以及她是如何使用自己新發(fā)現(xiàn)的力量的。
“She’s playing the chess master,” Wood said. “She has access to all of her memories, but now she’s in control. There are some scenes where she’s three different people in the span of a minute.”
伍德說:“她扮演的是下棋者的角色。她能夠訪問自己所有的記憶,但現(xiàn)在她能控制這些記憶了。有一些場景中,她在一分鐘內就換了三次身份。”
In terms of expansiveness, the new season is likely to head to new parks outside of Westworld, including the park that was teased at the end of Season 1, called Shogun World.
在故事的廣度方面,新一季可能會涉及到西部世界以外的新公園,包括第一季結尾處打廣告的“將軍世界”。
Ed Harris, who plays the hardcore Man in Black, told EW that Season 2 will be enjoyable to watch, although he's not sure he totally understands where everything is going.
在劇中扮演冷血黑衣人的埃德·哈里斯告訴《娛樂周刊》說,第二季會很好看,盡管他不確定自己是否完全了解這一切是怎么回事。
“It’s a pretty trippy second year, man, I gotta tell you that,” he said. “Hopefully somebody can explain it all to me after it airs. But it’s going to be tremendously watchable.”
他說:“我得說,第二季真的很超現(xiàn)實。希望播出以后有人可以給我好好解釋一下。但這一季真的是超級好看。”
