Luck《祝你好运》

In the first full-length film from Skydance Animation, Tony Award-nominee Eva Noblezada provides the voice of Sam, "the unluckiest person in the world". Having grown up in the care system, she hopes to nab some extra good luck for a fellow foster child, and finds her way to a realm where magical creatures – including a black cat voiced by Simon Pegg and a dragon voiced by Jane Fonda – manipulate the human race's fortunes. It may sound faintly sinister, but the director, Peggy Holmes, promises thatLuckis full of "positivity and inspiration". Talking to Jackson Murphy atAnimation Now, she says, "We've all been through a really hard time together in the world. People really want to sit back, relax, and really be inspired to just keep going. When those bad luck days come, just keep going because there are some good luck ones coming, too."

在Skydance动画企业制作出来的第一科长片《祝你好运》中，曾获托尼奖提名的伊娃·诺布勒札达也为“全球最倒霉的人”山姆配音。山姆从小在寄养家庭成长，她希望可以为一个同是送养少年儿童的朋友搞到一些好运气，于是便就找到可以控制人们运气的神奇生物，主要包括一只由西蒙·佩吉配音的白猫和一条由简·方达配音的牛。这也许听起来有些恶邪，可是电影导演佩吉·霍姆斯服务承诺这部影片充满着“社会正能量和启发”。在和《Animation Now》杂志的易烊千玺·艾利森交流时她基督讲道：“大家一起经历了这世界非常困难的一段时光。大家真的很想坐下放松一下，在受鼓舞以后继续向前。当恶运来临时，要坚持到底，由于好运气总有一天还会来临。”

Released on 5 August on Apple TV worldwide

此片将在8月5日在Apple TV 服务平台全球同步发布。

Mack & Rita《麦克和丽塔》

FromFreaky FridaytoBig,13 Going on 30to17 Again, lots of comedies have imagined young minds zapping into older bodies, and vice versa. But the new film from Katie Aselton (The Freebie,Black Rock) puts a fresh spin on the formula, by ageing up, rather than using teens and adults.Mack & Ritafeatures a 30-year-old author (Elizabeth Lail) who has always felt that she was a 70-year-old woman on the inside. After going to a new-age workshop in Palm Springs, she is magically transformed into a 70-year-old woman on the outside, too. In her new identity (Diane Keaton), she is a happy, relaxed "glammy granny" social-media influencer, but can that make up for losing 40 years of her life?

从《疯狂星期五》到《长大》，从《女孩梦三十》到《重返17岁》，许多喜剧电影也将小孩子变成大人，也将成年人变成小孩。可是凯蒂·阿赛尔顿（代表作有《免费赠品》和《黑岩》）导演的这一部新电影给这一秘方加了点全新料，让成人衰老，而非让青少年与成人角色互换。 在新电影《麦克和丽塔》中，伊利莎白·莱尔扮演的30岁文学家总感觉自己的内心是一个70岁的老太太。从棕榈泉的一家“新年纪”个人工作室出来之后，她神秘地变成了一个70岁老妇人的样子。用这一新真实身份生活中的她成了一个开心、惬意的社交网络网络红人，人叫“风采姥姥”（黛安·基顿扮演），但这可以填补她失去的40年岁月吗？

Released on 12 August in the US, Canada and Spain

此片将在8月12日在国外、澳大利亚和西班牙公映。

Bullet Train《杀手疾风号》

David Leitch was Brad Pitt's stunt double onTroy,Fight ClubandMr and Mrs Smith, and has since become the director of such ridiculously-fun action movies asHobbs & Shaw,Atomic BlondeandDeadpool 2. And now the two old buddies have teamed up for Leitch's latest shooting-and-punching-fest:Bullet Train. Pitt plays an assassin who is sent by his handler (Sandra Bullock) to grab a briefcase from one of the passengers on a Japanese train, but little does he know that the train is full of other shady characters (Brian Tyree Henry, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Zazie Beetz, Michael Shannon).

彼得·雷奇曾经是布拉德·皮特在《特洛伊》、《搏击俱乐部》和《史密斯夫妇》里的技能替身演员，之后电影导演了一系列超级搞笑的动作片，如《速度与激情：特别行动》、《极寒之城》、《死侍2》等。现如今这两名配演在雷奇的刺激枪击搏斗新电影《杀手疾风号》中再一次联合。皮特扮演一名凶手，它的幕后主使（珍妮弗·布洛克扮演）让他在日本一趟列车上从一名旅客那边拿走一只行里箱，可是他毫不知情是，这一趟火车上坐的都是一些昏暗角色（鲍比·泰里·伯特、亚伦·泰勤-约翰森、莎姬·贝兹、麦克尔·珊农扮演）。

Three Thousand Years of Longing《三千年的思念》

Seven years on fromMad Max: Fury Road, George Miller is back at last with another film – a romantic fantasy, and the contrast could hardly be greater. This time we have a demure English academic (Tilda Swinton) at a literature conference in Istanbul. A djinn (Idris Elba) materialises in her hotel room and offers her three wishes, but the academic has read enough myths to know that wishes tend to backfire, so the djinn tries to charm her with fabulous tales from his past.

在录完《疯狂的麦克斯4：狂暴之路》七年后，乔冶·斯泰格总算带上最新作品回归，但这一部烂漫奇幻片可谓设计风格惊天逆转。在这部新影片中，蒂尔达·斯文顿扮演的庄重娴雅的英国专家学者在巴塞罗那参加一个文学类讨论会。一个小精灵（伊德里斯·艾尔巴扮演）在她的酒店客房亮相，并给出能够实现她三个愿望。但这位饱读神话传说的专家学者了解这类许愿一般都没得结论，因此小精灵尝试讲述自己辉煌灿烂过来往诱惑她。

Released on 31 August in the US and Canada

此片将在8月31日在美国和加拿大公映。
