Here’s a first look at Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham, the witchy central character in Great Expectations, Mike Newell’s?adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel. Miss Havisham is an iconic character over here in Britain: an embittered spinster who sits?in her mouldering mansion still wearing the wedding dress she wore when she was jilted at the altar; she has trained her adopted?daughter Estella to break men’s hearts just as her heart was broken.
這是海倫娜·伯翰·卡特飾演郝薇香小姐的造型。這個(gè)角色是導(dǎo)演邁克·內(nèi)威爾改編自狄更斯小說(shuō)《遠(yuǎn)大前程》的電影中詭異的核心人物。郝薇香小姐是在英國(guó)非常標(biāo)志性的人物：一個(gè)坐在自己破落的大宅里哀怨的老處女，依然穿著她在婚禮時(shí)被拋棄在圣壇前時(shí)的婚紗。她訓(xùn)練她的養(yǎng)女誒斯特拉去傷害男人心，就像她的心被傷的程度一樣。

Bonham Carter co-stars opposite Ralph Fiennes as escaped?convict Magwitch. Producer Stephen Woolley tells me the Oscar nominee is playing Miss Havisham at the same age she is in Dickens?novel — previous incarnations by Charlotte Rampling, Anne Bancroft and, most memorably, Martita Hunt in David Lean’s version?played her much older.
與伯翰·卡特搭檔對(duì)手戲飾演罪惡的逃婚者M(jìn)agwitch的是拉爾夫·費(fèi)因斯。制片人Stephen Woolley提到說(shuō)這位奧斯卡提名候選人在戲中扮演的狄更斯小說(shuō)中的郝薇香小姐正好于她的實(shí)際年齡相符。之前也扮演過(guò)這個(gè)角色的夏洛特·蘭普林，安妮·班克羅夫特以及最令人難忘的在大衛(wèi)·里恩版本里的Martita Hunt都把這個(gè)角色扮老了。

New York-based Unison Films is searching for a U.S. deal for the film, which Lionsgate UK will release in?fall 2012. Hanway Films, which is handling all other territories, will show footage in Berlin. Newell will finish shooting the BBC?Films-backed project by Christmas. Robbie Coltrane, Sally Hawkins and David Walliams (Little Britain) co-star, with Jeremy Irvine?(War Horse) as Pip, the young hero of the story.
