燃烧的房子

　　一位渴望调查的大学教授被一些老朋友邀请去调查他们古董书店的一系列闹鬼事件。

　　年轻的美国导演米切尔｀哈文刚刚为他的下一部大作找到了素材——一个围绕着美丽的维尔玛和她的政客情夫拉斐而展开的真实的犯罪故事。他们在欺诈计划败露之后，枪杀了州长代表，最终这对时运不济的情侣戏剧性地双双自尽。

　　美国媒体报道，日前，传奇影业对于新启动的把游戏改编成电影的《质量效应》又有了新进展。在诸多游戏迷的担忧下，制作方宣布电影版《质量效应》将会百分百的忠于原著。
　　对于既是影迷又是游戏迷的粉丝们来说这是个令人兴奋的消息，早在2011年5月份，传奇影业就已经宣布买下了热门游戏《质量效应》系列的改编权。《质量效应》是一款融入了射击、动作和科幻于一体的角色扮演游戏。游戏背景设定在宇宙范围，角色扮演中有宇宙维和部队精英维护宇宙的安宁而展开的星际冒险。据悉，男主角还有隔空取物的超能力。
　　曾经担任《我是传奇》、《雷神》的编剧的马克·普鲁托塞维奇将编写电影版《质量效应》的剧本。而目前斯皮尔伯格正在筹拍的《侏罗纪公园4》的剧本也是由马克负责。
　　据传奇影业透露，电影版《质量效应》不会照搬第一、二版的游戏，将会有全新的故事情节。而游戏《质量效应3》将在2012年3月份上市，电影版《质量效应》很有可能会沿用《质量效应3》的剧情。目前影片可以确定男主角，而且会忠于原著中男主角的特质。至于影片是否会拍成三部曲，这还要看第一部的票房反响。

　　A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
　　Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
　　This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
　　One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.
