《唐頓莊園》丹•史蒂文斯:下一任達西先生?
Former Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens looks set to be swapping one stately home for another as he is the favourite to take a coveted role in a Pride And Prejudice spin-off.
男星丹·史蒂文斯已經從《唐頓莊園》謝幕，但他可能又要出現在一幕經典英劇中了。據悉他有望在BBC籌拍的《傲慢與偏見》衍生劇中出演衆人夢寐以求的角色——達西先生。The British actor, who played Matthew Crawley in the hit TV show, is lining up new projects following his departure from the series and he has been linked to the lead role in another period drama - an adaptation of Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James.
丹·史蒂文斯在熱門英劇中《唐頓莊園》飾演Matthew Crawley一角，在他告別該劇後新工作不斷，如今他又與另外一部歷史劇的主要角色聯繫在了一起，該劇改編自英國推理小說女作家P.D.詹姆斯的作品《死亡來到彭伯利》。The book was written as a sequel to Jane Austen's classic and set six years after the end of the story, and Stevens has been tipped as the frontrunner to play Mr Darcy in a new BBC TV adaptation.
這本書是簡·奧斯汀經典小說《傲慢與偏見》的續集，劇情設定原著故事結束的6年後。在這位BBC新改編劇中，丹·史蒂文斯是出演達西先生的熱門候選人之一。
However, he is facing tough competition from Les Miserables star Eddie Redmayne, Hugh Dancy and Thor's Tom Hiddleston.
不過競爭也非常激烈，他的對手還包括《悲慘世界》男星埃迪·雷德梅尼、休·丹西和《雷神》湯姆·希德勒斯頓。If Dancy wins the role from Stevens he could be acting opposite his real life wife as Claire Danes is said to be in the running to play Mr Darcy's partner Elizabeth Bennet.
如果休·丹西打敗包括丹·史蒂文斯在內的衆多競爭者，那他有望與妻子克萊爾·丹妮絲上演對手戲。據悉，這位《國土安全》女星也是達西的妻子伊麗莎白·班納特的有力競爭者。Danes even has the backing of the project's producer David Thompson, who insists being an American won't hamper her chances, telling Britain's Sunday Times newspaper, "Yes, she's American but of course she can do British. She is also married to a Brit."
丹妮絲甚至得到了製片人大衛-湯普森的支持，他堅持認爲雖然丹妮絲是美國人，但她出演的機會還是非常大。他對英國《星期日泰晤士報》表示：“的確她是美國人，但她也可以很英國範兒。她的丈夫可是英國人”。Mr Darcy has previously been played on screen by Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen and Laurence Olivier, while Keira Knightley has previously played Bennett on the big screen.
出演過達西先生一角的包括科林·費斯、馬修·麥克菲迪恩和勞倫斯·奧利弗。而著名女星凱拉·奈特莉也曾在電影版的《傲慢與偏見》中飾演過伊麗莎白·班納特。Filming on Death Comes to Pemberley is due to begin in Britain in the summer.
《死亡來到彭伯利》將於今年夏天在英國開機。
