Spider-Man: No Way Home
《蜘蛛侠：英雄无归》
Now that Marvel's superheroes have saved the Universe, their next job is obvious: they have to save the multiverse. In the third of the Spider-Man blockbusters starring Tom Holland, the teenage web-spinner accidentally opens a portal to numerous parallel realities. He finds himself up against Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus, who fought the Tobey Maguire incarnation of Spider-Man, and Jamie Foxx's Electro, who fought the Andrew Garfield incarnation. And, who knows, he may even bump into Maguire and Garfield themselves. Sounds fun? Errr... well, apparently not. "What people will be really surprised about is that it's not fun, this film," Holland told Total Film. "It's dark and it's sad, and it's going to be really affecting. You're going to see characters that you love go through things that you would never wish for them to go through."
现在漫威的超级英雄们已经拯救了宇宙，他们的下一个任务是显而易见的：他们必须拯救多元宇宙。在汤姆·霍兰德主演的《蜘蛛侠》第三部中，这位十几岁的少年蜘蛛侠意外地打开了一个通往众多平行现实世界的大门。他发现自己面对的是阿尔弗雷德·莫利纳（Alfred Molina）的章鱼医生（Doctor Octopus），他与托比·马奎尔（Tobey Maguire）化身的蜘蛛侠（Spider Man）作战，而杰米·福克斯（Jamie Foxx）的电子人（Electro）与安德鲁·加菲尔德（Andrew Garfield）化身作战。而且，谁知道呢，他甚至可能碰到马奎尔和加菲猫自己。听起来很有趣？呃。。。嗯，显然不是。“人们真正感到惊讶的是，这部电影并不有趣，”霍兰德告诉道达尔电影公司。“这是一片黑暗，令人悲伤，这将是非常感人的。你将看到你喜欢的角色经历一些你永远不希望他们经历的事情。”
Released internationally on 15 December
该片将于12月15日在全球上映。

Don't Look Up
《不要抬头》
People are often slow to react to a cataclysm, whether it's a climate emergency or a global pandemic – and it was this tendency that prompted Adam McKay (The Big Short, Vice) to make his new satire, Don't Look Up. Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio play two astronomers who have calculated that a "planet killer" comet is going to smash into the Earth, killing everyone. But the US president (Meryl Streep) is just one of the many people who refuse to face the facts. The rest of the all-star cast includes Rob Morgan, Jonah Hill, Timothée Chalamet and Ariana Grande.
人们对灾难的反应通常很迟钝，无论是气候危机还是全球性大流行病，正是这种迟钝促使亚当·麦凯（代表作《大空头》、《副总统》）拍出了讽刺新片《不要抬头》。詹妮弗·劳伦斯和莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥饰演两名天文学家，他们估算出一颗“足以毁灭行星的”彗星将会撞击地球，导致所有人丧生。但是梅丽尔·斯特里普饰演的美国总统和许多人一样不愿面对现实。该片的全明星阵容还包括罗布·摩根、乔纳·希尔、蒂莫西·柴勒梅德和爱莉安娜·格兰德。
In selected cinemas from 10 December, and on Netflix from 24 December
该片将于12月10日在北美部分影院上映，12月24日在奈飞平台上线。

The Matrix Resurrections
《黑客帝国：矩阵重启》
Almost two decades after The Matrix Revolutions rounded off the Matrix saga – or so it seemed – it's time to take the red pill once again. The story is that Neo (Keanu Reeves) has been living as plain old Thomas A Anderson, with no memory of his heroics as a robot-bashing, kung-fu-kicking messiah, and no knowledge of his relationship with Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss). Then, of course, everything changes. This is the first Matrix film to be directed by Lana Wachowski without her sister Lilly, and two of the series' best actors – Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving – aren't returning. Still, the action-packed trailer looks suitably eye-popping, and, thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, virtual reality and the metaverse is a hot topic once again.
在《黑客帝国：矩阵革命》终结《黑客帝国》系列近20年后，现在似乎是时候再次服下红色药丸了。新片讲述了基努·里维斯饰演的尼奥已经忘却了自己用功夫打败机器人拯救世界的英雄过往，也不再记得他和崔妮蒂（凯瑞-安·莫斯饰演）的感情，现在他只是一个名叫托马斯·A·安德森的平凡老人。当然，接下来一切都改变了。这是拉娜·沃卓斯基在没有与妹妹莉莉合作的情况下执导的第一部《黑客帝国》电影，老片中最出色的两位演员劳伦斯·费什伯恩和雨果·维文也不会回归本片。尽管如此，武打戏十足的预告片看起来还是让人大开眼界。此外，多亏了马克·扎克伯格，虚拟现实和元宇宙再度成为了热门话题。
Released internationally on 22 December
该片将于12月22日在全球上映。

West Side Story
《西区故事》
The original 1961 film of West Side Story, directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, is renowned as one of the finest Hollywood musicals ever made. A New York-set update of Romeo and Juliet, it was the biggest box-office hit of the year, and went on to win 10 Oscars, including best picture. Why, then, should anyone watch a new take on the same material? Well, one answer is that this West Side Story is directed by Steven Spielberg. Another answer is that Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the lyrics to Leonard Bernstein's music, has given it his seal of approval. "It's really terrific," he said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. "And for those of you who know the show, there are going to be some real surprises in it, because Tony Kushner who wrote the screenplay has done some really imaginative and surprising things with the way the songs are used in the story, and the whole thing has real sparkle to it and real energy... Spielberg and Kushner really, really nailed it."
众所周知，罗伯特·怀斯和杰罗姆·罗宾斯导演的1961年原版《西区故事》是有史以来最精良的好莱坞音乐电影之一。这部电影以纽约为场景讲述了现代罗密欧和朱丽叶的故事，在当年票房登顶，还赢得了包括最佳影片奖在内的10座奥斯卡奖杯。那么，人们为什么还要看一部同样题材的翻拍电影呢？一个答案是，新版《西区故事》是史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格导演的。另一个答案是，曾为老版《西区故事》中伦纳德·伯恩斯坦创作的音乐填写歌词的斯蒂芬·桑德海姆已经对新片表示了认可。他在《深夜秀》节目上对斯蒂芬·科尔伯特说：“这部电影真是棒极了。对于那些已经看过老版电影的人，这部新片还是能给你一些惊喜，因为编剧托尼·库什纳用非常有想象力和惊人的方式将歌曲穿插在故事中，让整部片子焕发出光彩和生机……斯皮尔伯格和库什纳真的做到了。”

Nightmare Alley
《玉面情魔》
Guillermo del Toro's first film as director since his Oscar-winning The Shape of Water is also his first not to feature ghosts, aliens, vampire superheroes or any other supernatural creatures. Despite having a spooky title, Nightmare Alley is a shadowy crime thriller based on a 1946 novel by William Lindsay Gresham. Bradley Cooper stars as The great Stanton, a conjurer who steals a mind-reading act from a clairvoyant (Toni Collette) in a low-rent carnival. He performs it in swanky nightclubs with his loyal girlfriend (Rooney Mara), but a seductive psychologist (Cate Blanchett) is onto his game.
《玉面情魔》是吉尔莫·德尔·托罗自奥斯卡获奖影片《水形物语》之后的首部作品，也是他执导的第一部没有鬼魂、外星人、吸血鬼、超级英雄或其他超自然生物的电影。尽管电影名令人毛骨悚然，但是《玉面情魔》其实是一部阴暗神秘的犯罪惊悚片，该片基于威廉·林赛·格雷沙姆1946年的一部小说。布莱德利·库柏饰演魔术师斯坦顿，他在一次低档的嘉年华上偷看了占卜师（托妮·科莱特饰演）的一次占卜过程。然后他和鲁妮·玛拉饰演的忠实女友一起在豪华俱乐部表演读心术，但却被一位性感的心理学家（凯特·布兰切特饰演）盯上了。
Released on 3 December in India, and on 17 December in the US
该片将于12月3日在印度上映，12月17日在美国上映。
