割腕誓言作廢：丹尼爾•克雷格將回歸《007》

之前是誰說的寧願割腕也不演邦德的？丹尼爾•克雷格賭咒發誓的這番話言猶在耳，如今卻證實他將再次出演下一部007電影，定於2019年上映。這臉打的真是啪啪的。前一陣子關於邦德人選的各種熱議也隨之煙消雲散。

Eon Productions and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer — the companies behind the James Bond franchise — announced on Monday (July 24) night their next 007 thriller would reach cinemas November 8, 2019. However, there was no announcement over who would be playing the iconic character. 7月24日晚，兩家擁有007電影版權的公司——永世電影製片公司和米高梅電影公司——宣布下一部007系列電影將於2019年11月8日上映。但是並沒有宣布誰會出演電影主角詹姆斯•邦德。

The New York Times has since confirmed recent reports that Daniel Craig will return, despite having previously said he would rather 「slash his wrists」 than play the character again. 《紐約時報》已經證實近日關於丹尼爾•克雷格回歸007系列電影的報道屬實，儘管此前克雷格曾說過寧願「割腕」也不想再出演詹姆斯•邦德。

Two sources told the publication Craig』s contract was a done deal; separate sources told The Mirror earlier this year that Craig had 「changed his mind」 about playing Bond and that franchise producer Barbara Broccoli has 「secured」 the actor. 據兩位知情人士透露，克雷格已確定出演；今年早些時候《鏡報》也通過另一消息來源獲悉，克雷格「改主意了」，同意出演詹姆斯•邦德，並且製片人芭芭拉•布洛柯里也已經「鎖定」演員。

It was previously reported that Craig was offered up to £120 million to return as the spy for two more films despite attention surrounding fellow candidates Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, James Norton and Poldark star Aidan Turner. 先前曾有報道稱，片方欲出高達1.2億英鎊（合10.55億元人民幣）的片酬請克雷格繼續出演接下來兩部007電影，不過當時人們的焦點都集中在湯姆•希德勒斯頓、伊德瑞斯•艾爾巴、詹姆斯•諾頓和英劇《波爾達克》主演艾丹•特納等邦德候選人身上。

抖森（湯姆•希德勒斯頓）曾是最被看好的邦德人選，現在看來抖森的冬粉們該失望了。圖為抖森出席2017金球獎紅毯。

Dunkirk』s Christopher Nolan has been one director in talks regarding the upcoming film following Sam Mendes departure, saying in a recent interview: 「I』ve spoken to the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson over the years. I deeply love the character, and I』m always excited to see what they do with it. 《敦刻爾克》導演克里斯托弗•諾蘭在薩姆•門德斯退出后被傳將執導新007電影，他在最近的一次採訪中說道：「這幾年我一直在同007製片人芭芭拉•布洛柯里和邁克爾•G•威爾森交談。我非常喜歡詹姆斯•邦德這個角色，而且我很期待他們拍攝的每一部007新電影。」

「Maybe one day that would work out. You』d have to be needed, if you know what I mean. It has to need reinvention; it has to need you. And they』re getting along very well.」 「或許有一天，我將有機會執導007系列電影。但前提是它需要我，你懂我的意思嗎？也就是007電影需要重塑，需要我來重塑。不過，我覺得現在系列電影的進展很不錯。」

The producers are also rumoured to be 「determined」 to bring back Adele to record the theme tune after singing the lead track on Skyfall — the first 007 theme to win a Grammy and a Golden Globe award. 據傳製片人還「決定」再次邀請阿黛爾錄製007新電影的主題曲。阿黛爾曾為《007：大破天幕殺機》獻唱主題曲——這是第一首同時獲得格萊美獎和金球獎的007主題曲。

The new film does not have a formal title yet. It will be written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the duo who handled the scripts for Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre. 007新電影還沒有正式定名。這部電影將由尼爾•珀維斯和羅伯特•韋德擔任編劇，此前兩人也曾為《007：大戰皇家賭場》、《007：大破量子危機》、《007：大破天幕殺機》和《007：幽靈黨》編寫劇本。
