Sony releases trailer for Taika Waititi’s Klara and the Sun

索尼发布塔伊加·维迪提执导电影《克拉拉与太阳》预告片

One of Taika Waititi’s greatest strengths as a director is his unique voice; he’s able to bring a light touch to tragedy (Jojo Rabbit) and a gentle sadness to offbeat comedy (Our Flag Means Death). That makes him an excellent choice to direct Klara and the Sun, based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro. Sony Pictures just released the first trailer, and it’s giving strong Hunt for the Wilderpeople vibes—a good thing, from my perspective, since that’s my favorite Waititi film.

作为导演，塔伊加·维迪提（Taika Waititi）最大的优势之一就是他独特的个人风格；他既能以轻盈的笔触处理悲剧（如《乔乔的异想世界》），也能在另类喜剧中注入一丝温柔的忧伤（如《海盗旗升起》）。这使他成为执导改编自石黑一雄同名小说的电影《克拉拉与太阳》的绝佳人选。索尼影业刚刚发布了首支预告片，它给人一种强烈的《追捕野蛮人》既视感——在我看来这是件好事，因为那是我最喜欢的维迪提作品。

Per the official premise: Based on the bestselling novel from Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro and written and directed by Academy Award winner Taika Waititi, Klara and the Sun introduces audiences to Klara (Jenna Ortega), an Artificial Friend who wants nothing more than to find the perfect home. When Klara meets Josie (Mia Tharia), each immediately senses a kindred spirit in the other. Josie has a fraught relationship with her mother (Amy Adams), and they’ve suffered great loss, but Klara’s innocent wonder and unwavering loyalty begin to heal the family and bring light to Josie’s complicated world.

根据官方剧情简介：改编自诺贝尔奖得主石黑一雄的畅销小说，由奥斯卡奖得主塔伊加·维迪提编剧并执导，《克拉拉与太阳》向观众介绍了“人工智能朋友”（AF）克拉拉（珍娜·奥尔特加饰），她最大的愿望就是找到一个完美的家。当克拉拉遇见乔西（米娅·塔里亚饰）时，两人立刻在对方身上感受到了灵魂的共鸣。乔西与母亲（艾米·亚当斯饰）的关系紧张，且她们经历过巨大的丧亲之痛，但克拉拉天真烂漫的好奇心和坚定不移的忠诚，开始治愈这个家庭，并为乔西复杂的世界带来了光亮。

The cast also includes Natasha Lyonne as an artificial friend (AF) store manager; Rachel House as the housekeeper, Melania; Aran Murphy (son of Cillian Murphy) as Josie’s best friend, Rick; and Sophia Bryant-Taukiri as Josie’s older sister, Sal. Steve Buscemi and Harry Greenwood also appear in as-yet-undisclosed roles.

演员阵容还包括饰演“人工智能朋友”（AF）商店经理的娜塔莎·雷昂；饰演管家梅拉尼娅的瑞秋·豪斯；饰演乔西好友瑞克的阿兰·墨菲（基里安·墨菲之子）；以及饰演乔西姐姐萨尔的索菲亚·布莱恩特-陶基里。史蒂夫·布西密和哈里·格林伍德也出演了尚未公开的角色。

Like Ishiguro’s novel, Klara and the Sun is set in an unidentified future, with Klara narrating. As a solar-powered AF, Klara has a special relationship with the sun, the source of her nourishment, but she also bonds with Josie when the girl and her mother are shopping for AFs. So Josie chooses Klara, despite the latter being an older model. Josie’s mom is skeptical but agrees on a trial basis, encouraged by the 20 percent discount. “Just remember everything you learned and hopefully they’ll come to love you like a member of the family or family dog,” Lyonne’s store manager tells Klara. Klara soon senses that something is wrong and turns to her old friend, the sun, for guidance. (Book readers will know what’s up.)

与石黑一雄的原著一样，《克拉拉与太阳》设定在一个未知的未来，并由克拉拉担任旁白。作为一名依靠太阳能供电的AF，克拉拉与作为她能量来源的太阳有着特殊的联系。当乔西和母亲在挑选AF时，她与乔西建立了深厚的羁绊。尽管克拉拉是旧型号，乔西还是选择了她。乔西的母亲虽持怀疑态度，但在20%折扣的诱惑下，还是同意进行试用。“记住你所学的一切，希望他们能像爱家人或家犬一样爱你，”雷昂饰演的店长对克拉拉说道。克拉拉很快察觉到有些不对劲，于是向她的老朋友——太阳寻求指引。（读过原著的读者应该知道发生了什么。）

Ishiguro’s leisurely meditation on humanity’s relationship to technology might seem out of Waititi’s usual wheelhouse, but the director recently told Vanity Fair that he quickly realized he needed a new tonal approach to the material and adapted quickly to make his most dramatic film. “Sometimes I think you get caught up in, like, ‘Oh, people want the same tone as this other thing from eight years ago,’ and it’s nice to not have to cater to that so much or cater to your own expectations of what you think you want to do,” Waititi said.

石黑一雄对人类与科技关系的从容思考，似乎超出了维迪提一贯的创作领域，但这位导演最近告诉《名利场》，他很快意识到自己需要为这部作品采用一种新的基调，并迅速做出调整，完成了他最具戏剧性的一部电影。“有时我觉得你会陷入一种困境，比如‘哦，人们想要八年前那种风格的电影’，而现在能不必过多迎合那种期待，也不必受限于自己对‘想拍什么’的预设，感觉真的很棒，”维迪提说道。

Klara and the Sun hits theaters on October 23, 2026.
