哈利波特外传敲定！小雀斑出演男一号

 　　Eddie Redmayne is officially starring in Harry¹ Potter Movie Fantastic Beasts.

　　据官方消息公布，埃迪·雷德梅尼将正式出演《哈利·波特》外传系列之《神奇动物在哪里》。

　　Rumors² swirled³ for months that Redmayne, 33, was being courted for the starring role in the big-screen adaptation of J.K.Rowling's 2001 book. Warner Bros. finally confirmed on Monday, June 1, that the British star has signed on for the flick⁴.

　　几个月以来一直有消息谣传，J.K.罗琳2001年写的小说要改编成大电影，并由33岁的雷德梅尼担纲主演。6月1日华纳影业最终证实了这一消息，确认已与雷德梅尼签了出演合同。

　　"Eddie Redmayne has emerged as one of today’s most extraordinarily⁵ talented and acclaimed⁶ actors," Warner Bros. exec Greg Silverman said in a statement. "We are thrilled to welcome him into J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World, where we know he will deliver a remarkable⁷ performance as Newt Scamander, the central character in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

　　“埃迪·雷德梅尼是现如今最有才华和最受欢迎的演员之一，” 华纳兄弟首席执行官吉格·斯维曼发言称，“我们为雷德梅尼加入罗琳的魔法世界激动不已并表示热烈欢迎。我们相信由他饰演《神奇动物在哪里》主角纽特·斯卡曼德将会非常出色。”

　　The Oscar winner will take on the role of magizoologist and author Newt, whose work later makes its way to the halls of Hogwarts. The flick will take place decades before Harry Potter's famed story, but is not serving as a direct prequel to the seven books and eight movies.

　　这名奥斯卡影帝将出演魔法动物学家和作者纽特——纽特的作品后来成为霍格沃兹魔法学院的教材。这部影片的时间线设置在哈利·波特故事发生的几十年之前，但并不是哈利波特7本小说和8部电影的前传。

　　"Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world," Rowling said of the initial film announcement. "The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, 70 years before Harry's gets underway."

　　“尽管《神奇动物在哪里》的故事依旧发生在《哈利·波特》的魔法世界中，该片并不是《哈利·波特》的前传，也不是续集，而是对魔法世界的扩充，” 罗琳在新片发布会上说道，“任何读过《哈利·波特》书籍或看过系列电影的人对这个隐秘魔法世界里的规章和习俗都不会感到陌生。但是，影片的时间线设置在哈利波特故事开启70年前的纽约市。”

　　Daniel Radcliffe, who famously played Harry for 10 years, is not expected to appear in Fantastic Beasts, nor are his main Harry Potter costars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

　　扮演了十年哈利的丹尼尔·雷德克里夫并不会出现在《神奇动物》里，同样《哈利·波特》的另两名主演艾玛·沃特森和鲁伯特·格林特也不会出现在该片里。

　　David Yates has been booked to helm the upcoming movie. The celebrated⁸ filmmaker previously⁹ led Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix¹⁰, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Parts 1 and 2.

　　大卫·叶茨确认执导该部电影。此前《哈利·波特与凤凰令》、《哈利·波特与混血王子》、《哈利·波特与死亡圣器》的上下两部都是由大卫执导的。
