The Disaster Artist 《灾难艺术家》
主演: 詹姆斯弗兰科、戴夫弗兰科、塞斯罗根、乔什哈切森、扎克埃夫隆
“Haha, what a great story!” This line from Tommy Wiseau’s all-American hero Johnny in The Room, beloved by many as possibly the worst film ever made, also applies to James Franco’s captivating new film about the making of this cinematic disaster. Franco directs and stars as Wiseau, an immigrant to the US of mysterious origins who possesses a one-of-a-kind accent, long black locks that make him look like Gene Simmons crossed with Stephen Baldwin, and a talent that can be charitably described as unique. In 2003 Wiseau, rebuffed by many a casting director and talent agent decided to make his own ‘Hollywood’ movie. In possession of apparently limitless financial resources, Wiseau’s cinematic brainchild was The Room, a chamber drama of betrayal that’s become a hit as a midnight movie because it is so laughably terrible. Franco captures Wiseau’s tics to perfection and ends up recreating about a quarter of The Room in this adaptation of actor Greg Sestero’s book The Disaster Artist, about the making of the movie. Unlike The Room itself, this is a movie you can laugh with, rather than at. Released December 1in the US, UK and Ireland, December 6 in the Philippines and December 21 in Argentina and the Netherlands.

The Shape of Water 《水形物语》
主演:莎莉霍金斯、奥克塔维亚斯宾瑟、道格琼斯、迈克尔珊农、迈克尔斯图巴
Guillermo del Toro continues to carve out one of the most visually distinctive oeuvres in Hollywood today with this slippery changeling of a movie that won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival: it’s part Lovecraftian beastie horror, part forbidden romance, part Cold War drama, with a few more genres thrown in for good measure. Sally Hawkins plays a mute maid at a US government research facility who falls in love with one of the test subjects, an amphibian creature found in the Amazon – another feat of physicality by Doug Jones, probably the best-known creature actor working today who isn’t Andy Serkis. She tries to help her beloved frog-man flee a one-dimensional baddie in government tough Michael Shannon. In his five-star review, BBC Culture film critic Nicholas Barber wrote that The Shape of Water is “an Oscar contender in pretty much every category” and declared “this is one of the most delightful films of the year.” Released December 8 in the US and Canada. (Credit: Fox Searchlight) 吉尔莫德尔托罗的这部湿滑丑怪电影再度成为当下好莱坞画风最独特的作品之一,还在威尼斯电影节上获得了金狮奖。这部电影中,有洛夫克拉夫特风格的野兽恐怖,有禁忌的爱情,也有冷战剧情,还带有其他几种流派的味道。莎莉霍金斯饰演了美国政府研究机构中的一位哑女仆,她爱上了机构中的一位实验对象——在亚马逊地区发现的一个两栖生物。这个两栖生物是道格琼斯的肉身绝技,他很可能是当今世上除了安迪瑟金斯(《指环王》中Gollum的扮演者)以外最著名的扮演生物的演员。哑女试图帮助她心爱的蛙人逃离政府中的冷酷坏蛋迈克尔珊农的魔爪。BBC文化的影评人尼古拉斯巴伯在他的五星评论中写道,《水形物语》“是奥斯卡所有奖项的有力角逐者”,并宣称“这是今年最让人愉快的电影之一”。该片于12月8日在美国和加拿大上映。(资料来源:福克斯探照灯电影公司)

All the Money in the World 《金钱世界》
主演:马克沃尔伯格、克里斯托弗普卢默、米歇尔威廉姆斯、蒂莫西赫顿、查理肖特韦尔
Ridley Scott is briefly leaving blockbusters behind for this docudrama based on John Pearson’s book Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J Paul Getty. The oil tycoon was once the richest man in the US, but he was famed for his thriftiness. When his grandson John Paul Getty III was kidnapped by mafiosi in the 1970s he refused to pay the ransom they wanted. His grandson was horribly abused as a result – his kidnappers even severed one of his ears. As dramatic a story as that is, though, All the Money in the World has had nearly as shocking a production. Kevin Spacey, in heavy old-age makeup, was originally slated to play Getty, but after sexual assault allegations were made against him Ridley Scott decided to reshoot his role with Christopher Plummer instead – with only one month until the film’s premiere. Can the quick reshoot possibly result in a good movie? Simply as a feat of daring many critics and cinemagoers are eager to find out. Released December 21in Greece and Israel, December 22 in Turkey and the US and December 27 in Belgium and France.
