电商巨头亚马逊正式宣布,他们将大举进军电影业,计划每年出品12部影片。近日,有消息传出,亚马逊确定投拍美国黑人导演斯派克·李的新作《Chiraq》。影片剧本细节及项目进程状况都尚未公布,据称电影卡司囊括“复联队长”塞缪尔·杰克逊、“侃爷”坎耶·韦斯特、科曼等一众黑人男星,演员杰里米·皮文亦有望参演。
"Chiraq"实质上是美国城市芝加哥的别称——该城市近年频频因枪支暴力事件见诸报端。坎耶·韦斯特是土生土长的芝加哥人,而杰里米·皮文的童年也基本是在芝加哥度过。参照斯派克·李此前执导影片的路数,《Chiraq》应该还是会持续关注黑人生存境遇。。When a casino owning dog named Charlie is murdered by his rival Carface, he finds himself in Heaven basically by default since all dogs go to heaven. However, since he wants to get back at his killer, he cons his way back to the living with the warning that doing that damns him to Hell. Once back, he teams with his old partner, Itchy to prep his retaliation. He also stumbles on to an orphan girl who can talk to the animals, thus allowing him to get the inside info on the races to ensure his wins。
