When John Wick ended, it felt like a conclusion that could be continued if
warranted, but it also felt like a complete story that didn’t require a
sequel. By comparison, John Wick: Chapter 2 ends with a massive cliffhanger,
and fans would be furious if the story didn’t continue. Thankfully, John
Wick: Chapter 2 grossed about twice as much as the original, which is good
since John Wick 3 was in the works as early as last October.
回顾捍卫任务第一集,一般人应该都同意这是个起承转合一气呵成的故事,
并没有特意留伏笔,或是让剧情硬生生停在关键处,大喇喇告诉你“下集待续”.
相较之下,捍卫任务第二集(捍卫任务2:杀神回归)可是结束在让观众情绪完全收不回来
的地方,要是系列就此停住,粉丝应该会受不了吧?
还好,续集上映之后,票房几乎是第一集的两倍,
更棒的是,系列第三部作品其实早在去年十月就已经悄悄开始筹画了.
Today, Tommy Cook spoke with John Wick: Chapter 2 director Chad Stahelski
for the home release of the film and they discussed the status of
John Wick 3. They led off by talking about where the sequel is in the
pre-production process.
今天,在数位家用版本发售之前,我们的记者Tommy Cook与捍卫任务2导演
Chad Stahelski谈起系列第三部作品.首先是"第三集目前筹备到什么程度?"
“Yeah — we’re currently in the middle of writing it right now,”Stahelski
said of the film’s status, and it seems like the film pretty much has a
greenlight; it’s just waiting on the filmmakers to get everything
into place. When asked when they might start filming, Stahelski replied,
“It’s more of a how fast can we get our shit together. But I would
assume that if not by the end of this year, the beginning of next year.”
导演Chad Stahelski:
我们正在编写剧本的部分,进度大概有一半了.
看起来,第三集的开拍已经获得高层同意,就等导演/编剧与制片等人把一切准备功夫
做好.而当被问起"何时开拍?"时
导演Chad Stahelski:
我想只要我们把准备工作TMD快点搞定,就能开拍.不是今年底,就是明年初开拍.
However, the question becomes if Stahelski will get behind the camera for
the sequel. He co-directed John Wick with David Leitch, but Leitch went on
to direct Atomic Blonde instead of returning for Chapter 2.
For Stahelski's part, he’s now attached to the Highlander reboot, so where
does that leave John Wick 3?
Stahelski says he’s “super involved” with the sequel right now and loves
the property, but “Currently I’m acting as prep director. Hopefully
everything will work out time wise. Of course — I would love to…”
当然,接下来很自然会让人想问的就是
"导演Chad Stahelski会不会再次执导捍卫任务第三部作品?"
他与David Leitch两人共同执导了第一集,而David Leitch因为接下" Atomic Blonde"
(莎莉赛隆主演之冷战时期谍报动作片)没能参与捍卫杀神第二集的导演工作.
Chad Stahelski目前则传出会执导"Highlander(时空英豪)"重开机版本.这样一来,
谁要执导捍卫任务第三集?
导演Chad Stahelski:
我个人是非常非常非常投入第三部作品的筹备工作,而且我是真心爱着这个故事/角色.
但目前,我个人的定位算是"筹备期导演",希望之后一切发展能让我挤出时间.
我当然很希望能继续执导第三集
While the lack of Stahelskihe or Leitch(who's currently busy with Deadpool 2)
would certainly leave fans apprehensive about who lands in the director's
chair, Stahelski says they have a clear direction where they want to go in
terms of expanding the franchise’s mythology:
虽然捍卫杀神系列两位生父Stahelski 和 Leitch(目前正筹拍Deadpool2=死侍2)
看来都很忙这点,可能让粉丝感到忧心,但Stahelski说他们两人对整个系列的走向
有非常清楚的愿景
“We want, not so much to go bigger on the third one, but to show you more
of the intricacies of the world…
I feel like there are all these different subtleties that I skipped over in
Number Two, that I’d like to go back to on [chapter three] and show you the
inner workings of different parts of New York.
So rather than massive set pieces, I’d like to show you cooler and more
intricate ones… I think it would be a mistake budget wise and creatively to
just go big and blow up a freeway. That’s not our gig. That’s a comic book
or a Bond gig.
We want to show you cool and intricate details. What are those little
details in everyday life?
Hopefully – we make people look at garbage collectors and cleaner vans
and homeless people a little differently now.”
导演Chad Stahelski:
我们要的是,展现更多刺客世界里错综复杂的事物给观众,而非把场面搞大.
我觉得,在第二集的故事中,我略过许多细节.在下一集里面,我想要让观众看到纽约杀手
世界里面各种不同面向.
所以,比起一场特大尺寸的动作/爆破桥段,我更想展现的是那些很酷的、勾起你好奇心的
事物.我想,把预算拿来炸掉一条公路,不论是从制作成本角度或是从故事创作的角度都是
不智之举.那不是我们的Style.那是漫画改编电影或是庞德的风格.
我们要的是那些很酷的/引人入胜的细节.像是寻常人生活中每天见到的一切的另一面,
像是个"里世界".希望我们能让观众看到垃圾车跟清洁队员,还有路边行乞的流浪汉时,
心里都会好奇…在我看不到的时候,他们都在做什么?
So don’t worry—John Wick will remain John Wick where you want to look
around every corner to see how this world works rather than trying to wow
you with massive CGI set pieces.
所以,别担心.John Wick依然会是之前两部作品中的John Wick,活生生与你我在同一个
时空呼吸一样空气的John Wick,不会突然蹦出满满的电脑特效灌爆你的感官.
They also know where they want to take Wick’s emotional arc in the third
movie:
导演们也知道对John来说,第三集的整个角色情感上的铺陈该怎么发展
“We’re very comfortable with where we want [John Wick] to go in the third
one and what Keanu wants to do. If you really watch the first and second one,
there’s only one place it can go — so I’ll let you sort that out.”
导演Chad Stahelski:我们对于John Wick在第三集中要何去何从,还有基努李维想要
再带进来什么有非常完整的想法,关于这点我们非常安心.如果各位用心欣赏前面两部
作品的话,应该同意故事只能朝一个方向发展了.在这里,我先卖个关子.
And although we know some of Wick’s backstory from what’s been implied in
the previous movies, Stahelski says more revelations will only come from
action, not from some exposition dump:
虽然前面两部作品有暗示John的背景/出身,Stahelski表示,真相大白的那天,会是用
动作场面交代,也就是"拍出来给观众看",而不是用旁白交代.
“Yeah, definitely — but it’s about John revealing it. It’s not about you
finding a hidden book or a secret map about who John Wick is. Anyone watching
can start piecing it together. You know he’s had some serious training. Was
it military? Ehh — he kind of looks military. Where’s he from? Well — he
speaks all these languages. We’re giving you the pieces and I think it’s
always good… Hopefully in five years, you and your buddies will talk about
how ‘he’s this or he’s that.’ We’ll give you a couple more pieces and
let you stitch it together.”
导演Chad Stahelski:
当然当然,John本人故事的大结局,当然会由John本人来揭晓.我们不会让观众像是寻宝
一样,突然发现一本书里面写着"John Wick的一生".每位欣赏过前面作品的朋友,都能
开始拼凑出大结局.
你知道John超凡身手来自特殊的训练…也许他曾经是军人?
那他待过哪些地方?毕竟,他通晓这么多国语言…我们一点一点的给出线索,希望这是个
不错的方式,也希望五年之后,你跟朋友间还会聊起"喔!等等,如果John知道这个的话,
不就表示他曾经…balabala"
我们会继续铺梗,让观众来拼出真相.
John Wick 2 is now available on Digital HD and will be on 4K, Blu-ray,
and DVD on June 13th.
