Peter Capaldi was seen regenerating as the 12th Time Lord in Doctor Who on Christmas Day. But before that series returns, he plays an evil cardinal in BBC1's ambitious new drama, The Musketeers. Here he tells us why he thrives on being a baddie...
皮卡叔於2013年圣诞特辑以第十二任时间领主重生於神秘博士剧集中,而在众多whovian殷殷企盼第八季归来的时候,不妨先拿《火枪手》解解馋吧!在这部BBC One主打的剧集中,皮卡叔扮演一位邪恶的红衣主教。以下采访他将告诉大家,为什麼他乐於参演这位被视为反派的角色。
What was the appeal for you of starring in this new 10-part series, The Musketeers, based on Alexandre Dumas's popular characters?"I love period stuff, I love the kind of angle they've taken on this and it looks great. It looks like a movie and has this wonderful cast who bring so much to it. And then I get to play the bad guy."
Q:这部10集的电视剧《火枪手》改编自大仲马名著,请问是如何挑起你参演的欲望?我喜欢那年代的时空背景,我喜爱剧本的诠释,所以我想参演。整体拍摄场面如同电影般气势宏伟、情节紧凑,更有黄金卡司助阵!然后,我发现我出演一位恶棍【咦...这语气... 是自嘲还是信心满满 『 除了我 还有谁能把这恶棍演得令人发指』 ≥ε ≤】
Is your character Cardinal Richelieu really bad?
"Well, he's just doing his job, which is to look after 17th century France, which no else seems to care about. The Cardinal believes France is in a state of disarray, so he's committed to making the country and himself powerful while also protecting the King. Yes, he's manipulative, but it's a tough world and he's just doing what he can to survive."
Q:红衣主教黎胥留真的是过街老鼠人人喊打吗?恩,该怎麼说呢,他只是恪遵职守,认为除了他自己,没人能好好保护十七世纪的法国。那时政局诡谲失序,为求保护他这位既是挚友又是国王的路易十三,他赋予自己无上的权利掌控全法国。要说他操控人心、为达目的不择手段,这的确难以否认,但可说是时势所逼,人世无常啊!
The Cardinal is being helped in his deviousness by the beautiful but dangerous Milady (played by Maimie McCoy). What are her strengths?
"The Cardinal and Milady have a special relationship and an understanding about each other's past. Milady has many weapons at her disposal, which she can deploy and she uses each and every of them - she uses her feminine wiles to draw men into a web of her design. This world they're living in might be all tarted up in pretty, lacy outfits - but there's always someone waiting to kill you."
Q:Maimie McCoy所饰演这位妖冶美艳却心如蛇蝎的Milady,对黎胥留的恶名远播可说是功不可没,究竟她是个怎样的女人呢?黎胥留与美乐蒂【被我翻得好土
】两人对彼此了若指掌,所以这段关系非三言两语能理清楚的。美乐蒂以风情万种编织著温柔呢喃的情网,等著男人们堕入、臣服,甘於变成她的俘虏,她手中的利刃。有黎胥留与美乐蒂的十七世纪,是个纸醉金迷的朝代,也是个危机四伏的牢笼。
