哈利波特狂撈金 作者羅琳角逐奧斯卡
Novelist J. K. Rowling could be in line to win an Oscar. For the first time, the author – worth an estimated ?800million – has been credited as producer on the latest film adaptation of her Harry Potter series of books. This means she could walk down the red carpet to collect an Oscar for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1, should the film win the Best Picture category。
耗盡9年拍攝的電影《哈利波特》即將落下帷幕，而它的作者羅琳有望首次以“電影製片人”的身份角逐明年的奧斯卡獎。據悉，哈利波特大結局上部《哈利·波特與死亡聖器》將正式角逐奧斯卡的“最佳影片獎”，而身價高達8億英鎊的女作者羅琳有希望以製片人的身份走上紅地毯。
Nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards will be announced in January, ahead of the ceremony in February. The film earned more than ?210 million when it opened last weekend, and is likely to be the highest earner in the seven-film series. David Heyman, who has produced all the films, said: ‘Jo had the option of taking a producer credit as early as the fourth film, but she chose not to until the final two films. 據悉，第83屆電影藝術科學院年獎(奧斯卡金像獎)提名會提前在1月份揭曉，電影《哈利·波特與死亡聖器 上》在僅僅在上週首映就迎來了“開門紅”，創下了2億1千萬英鎊票房奇蹟，該片也是哈利波特系列以來最賺錢的一部影片了。哈利波特系列原先的製片人大衛· 海曼(David Heyman)透露：“羅琳在哈4的時候就有機會以當製片人角逐奧斯卡，但她放棄了。她選擇了在大結局的時候入圍。”
'Things were coming to an end and she wanted to put her stamp on it.’However, the mother of three has always influenced production, insisting that the films be shot in Britain with an all-British cast. Rowling, 45, who was once a struggling single mother, has sold more than 400 million books worldwide since the first Harry Potter was published in 1997. Harry Potter is the most successful film franchise in history, selling ?3.7 billion worth of tickets。
看來，才女羅琳想“親自”爲她的傑作畫下句號。45歲羅琳是一名單身母親，有着3個孩子的她生活一直很艱辛。然而從1997年該書出版以來，《哈利波特》系列已經在全世界達到了驚人的4億銷量。據悉，深受大衆喜愛的魔幻系列電影9年來也創下了不可逾越的37億票房奇蹟。
