Netflix releases trailer for Brad Bird’s Ray Gunn

Netflix 发布布拉德·伯德新片《雷·冈》（Ray Gunn）预告片

Brad Bird has directed some of our all-time favorite animated films: The Iron Giant (1999), The Incredibles (2004), and Ratatouille (2007), with the latter two snagging well-deserved Oscar wins. He’s back with a new animated feature, Ray Gunn, coming to Netflix in December, described as a neo-noir science-fiction mystery.

布拉德·伯德（Brad Bird）曾执导过我们心目中一些最经典的动画电影，包括《钢铁巨人》（1999）、《超人总动员》（2004）和《料理鼠王》（2007），后两部作品更是实至名归地斩获了奥斯卡奖。如今，他带着全新的动画长片《雷·冈》（Ray Gunn）回归，该片将于 12 月上线 Netflix，被描述为一部新黑色科幻悬疑片。

Netflix recently released the official trailer, chock-full of retro-futuristic elements, like flying cars, jet packs, laser guns, aliens, and yes, a sultry femme fatale. Color us among those now eagerly awaiting the film’s release.

Netflix 最近发布了官方预告片，其中充满了复古未来主义元素，如飞行汽车、喷气背包、激光枪、外星人，当然还有一位风情万种的蛇蝎美人。我们现在也成了翘首以盼该片上映的观众之一。

Bird has been kicking around the idea for Ray Gunn for the last 30 years, working on his many other film projects while the Ray Gunn script—co-written by Matthew Robbins, who also co-wrote 1987’s Batteries Not Included with Bird—“stayed in a filing cabinet at Warner Brothers,” the director said earlier this year.

伯德在过去 30 年里一直构思着《雷·冈》的创意。他在忙于其他电影项目的同时，这部由他与马修·罗宾斯（Matthew Robbins，曾与伯德共同创作 1987 年电影《鬼马小精灵》/Batteries Not Included）合写的剧本，正如导演今年早些时候所说，一直“被锁在华纳兄弟的档案柜里”。

The film’s inspiration came when Bird heard the opening of the B-52s’ “Planet Claire” (a personal favorite) and initially thought it was a cover of Henry Mancini’s theme music from the classic TV show Peter Gunn. Bird is a longtime fan of film noir and hard-boiled detectives, and he came up with the idea of a futuristic detective named Ray Gunn (a pun on raygun, of course).

这部电影的灵感源于伯德听到 B-52 合唱团的《Planet Claire》（他个人非常喜欢的一首歌）的开头时，起初以为那是亨利·曼西尼（Henry Mancini）为经典电视剧《彼得·冈》（Peter Gunn）创作的主题曲的翻唱。伯德是黑色电影和硬汉派侦探小说的忠实粉丝，于是他构思出了一位名叫“雷·冈”（Ray Gunn）的未来侦探（当然，这个名字也是“射线枪”/raygun 的双关语）。

“It’s film noir and a hard-boiled detective story, but it’s got a lot more comedy and a lot more action than the average film noir,” said Bird. Per the official premise: “In Metropia, a gigantic city in an alternate future as seen from 1939, private eye Raymond Gunn (voiced by Sam Rockwell) is drawn into a case involving aliens, murder and a multimedia star named Venus Nova (voiced by Scarlett Johansson).”

“这是一部黑色电影和硬汉侦探故事，但相比一般的黑色电影，它包含了更多的喜剧和动作元素，”伯德说道。根据官方剧情简介：“在 1939 年视角下的平行未来，一座名为‘大都会’（Metropia）的巨大城市里，私家侦探雷蒙德·冈（由山姆·洛克威尔配音）卷入了一起涉及外星人、谋杀案以及一位名为维纳斯·诺瓦（由斯嘉丽·约翰逊配音）的多媒体明星的案件中。”

Unlike Bird’s Pixar fare, Ray Gunn targets a slightly older demographic with more mature themes; the director has described it as a mashup of The Maltese Falcon and Buck Rogers.

与伯德在皮克斯时期的作品不同，《雷·冈》的目标受众年龄层稍大，主题也更为成熟；导演将其描述为《马耳他之鹰》与《巴克·罗杰斯》的结合体。

In addition to Rockwell and Johansson, the all-star voice cast includes Tom Waits as Ray’s one-eyed alien colleague, Eyera (pronounced Ira); Matt Berry as alien mob boss Francis “Sluggy” Xavier; Bobby Cannavale as Venus’ husband who hires Ray to spy on his wife; Alan Tudyk as Venus’ manager, Barry Vogel; Michael Chernus as a studio fixer named Sam; and Patton Oswalt as a hologram. Bird himself provides the voices for Xavier’s alien henchmen, Gunsol and Musker. Kathryn Hunter, John Ratzenberger, and Jamie Costa will also voice as-yet-undisclosed characters.

除了洛克威尔和约翰逊，全明星配音阵容还包括：汤姆·威茨（Tom Waits）饰演雷的独眼外星同事艾拉（Eyera，发音同 Ira）；马特·贝里（Matt Berry）饰演外星黑帮老大弗朗西斯·“鼻涕虫”·泽维尔；鲍比·坎纳瓦尔（Bobby Cannavale）饰演雇佣雷监视妻子的维纳斯丈夫；艾伦·图代克（Alan Tudyk）饰演维纳斯的经纪人巴里·沃格尔；迈克尔·彻努斯（Michael Chernus）饰演名为萨姆的制片厂“清理人”；以及帕顿·奥斯瓦尔特（Patton Oswalt）饰演的全息影像。伯德本人则为泽维尔的外星手下冈索尔（Gunsol）和马斯克（Musker）配音。凯瑟琳·亨特、约翰·拉岑贝格和杰米·科斯塔也将为尚未公布的角色配音。

Ray Gunn premieres on Netflix on December 18. It will also have a limited 70mm run in select theaters on December 4.

《雷·冈》将于 12 月 18 日在 Netflix 首映。该片还将于 12 月 4 日在部分影院进行 70mm 胶片版的限量放映。
