(CNN)The Navi are back in the nearly wordless trailer for "Avatar: The Way of Water." And based on the new footage, we can expect the lithe blue folk to fight side by side (or against) humans for the safety of their vibrant world.
(CNN)在《阿凡达2:水之道》几乎没有台词的预告片中,纳美人回来了。根据新的镜头,我们可以预期这些体态轻盈的蓝色人种将为了他们充满活力的世界的安全而与人类并肩作战(或对抗人类)。
预告抢先看,建议在Wi-Fi条件下观看
"Way of Water" is the long-awaited sequel to James Camerons groundbreakingepic. It will premiere in December, 13 years after "Avatar" became a historic hit.
《阿凡达2:水之道》是大众期待已久的詹姆斯·卡梅隆的开创性史诗《阿凡达》的续集。它将于12月首映,距离《阿凡达》成为历史性的大热影片,已经过去了13年。
The teaser explores more of the fictional Pandora than viewers saw in the first film, though its brilliant blues and bioluminescenceremain. At the end of the clip, Sam Worthington, who portrayed protagonist Jake in the first film, cryptically assures his distressed partner, played by Zoe Saldana, that "this family is our fortress."
此预告展现了比观众在第一部电影中看到的更多的虚构潘多拉星球,尽管其聪明的蓝色人和生物发光仍然存在。在片段的结尾,在第一部电影中扮演主角杰克的萨姆·沃辛顿向佐伊·索尔达娜饰演的他苦恼的伴侣隐晦地保证:“这个家庭是我们的堡垒。”
The plot details of the new film remain tightly under wraps, but original film stars Worthington, Saldana and Sigourney Weaver are slated to return. Joining them are series newcomers Michelle Yeoh, Kate Winslet, Edie Falco and Oona Chaplin in key roles.
新片的情节细节仍然被严格保密,但原片阵容沃辛顿、索尔达娜和西格妮·韦弗预计将回归。与他们一起出演的还有在《阿凡达》系列中首次出演的杨紫琼、凯特·温斯莱特、埃迪·法可和奥娜·卓别林等关键角色。
While Jake and Neytiri make their return in The Way of Water’s first trailer, this time around, it isn’t just the two of them. In the time between the first film and The Way of Water, Jake and Neytiri have had children, and there are a number of shots in the trailer drawing attention to how the growth of Na’vi families will be important to the movie’s story. In addition to a Na’vi child, the trailer also features shots of Jake and Neytiri caring for a seemingly human one who has to wear a special mask in order to survive on the planet.
虽然杰克和娜蒂瑞在《水之道》的第一支预告片中回归,但这一次,他们不只有两个人了。在第一部电影和《水之道》之间的时间里,杰克和娜蒂瑞已经有了孩子,预告片中的一些镜头让人注意到纳美人家庭的成长对电影故事的重要性。除了一个纳美人小孩,预告片中还有杰克和娜蒂瑞照顾一个似乎是人类的孩子的镜头,这个孩子必须戴着特殊的面具才能在这个星球上生存。
The human child’s presence raises some questions about how Earth reacted to the Na’vi fending off its attempt to rob Pandora of its valuable unobtanium, but the implication is that humanity couldn’t be deterred in the end. Along with a slew of new looks at Pandora’s coastal Metkayina reefs, the trailer also spotlights shots of Na’vi clothed in human-like combat gear and wearing guns, suggesting that the humans have only doubled down on their use of avatars as weapons of war.
这个人类孩子的出现引发了一些问题,即地球对纳美人抵御其抢夺潘多拉星球上宝贵的不动产的企图有何反应,但其暗指的结果是人类最终无法被阻止。除了对潘多拉海岸的梅特基亚纳珊瑚礁的一系列新的镜头之外,预告片还着重展现了纳美人身穿类似人类的战斗装备和佩戴枪支的镜头,表明人类只是加倍使用化身,将其作为战争武器。
Back when it premiered in 2009, "Avatar" was an inescapablephenomenon. The film was lauded for its then-groundbreaking visuals -- it was one of the first films to be rendered almost entirely through hyper-realistic motion capture technology -- and environmental message.
在2009年首映时,《阿凡达》是一部躲不开的现象级电影。这部电影因其当时突破性的视觉效果而受到称赞——它是第一批几乎完全通过超现实的动作捕捉技术来呈现的电影之一——以及传达出的环保信息。
"Avatar" remains the highest-grossing film of all time, earning more than $2.8 billion worldwide. (It was briefly dethroned by "Avengers: Endgame" until a theatrical re-release helped it reclaim its top spot.)
《阿凡达》仍然是有史以来票房最高的电影,全球收入超过了28亿美元。(它曾被《复仇者联盟4:终局之战》短暂取代了其地位,直到影院重映帮助它夺回了榜首位置。)
There are also three sequels planned for release after the premiere of "Way of Water."
在《水之道》首映之后,《阿凡达》系列还有三部续集计划上映。
