关晓彤新戏《图兰朵》搭配美国小鲜肉, 你期待吗?
Dylan Sprouse is returning to acting in an exciting new role. After stepping away from child stardom to study video game design at New York University and open a small business, Dylan has now announced via Twitter that he'll star in the upcoming fantasy romance film Turandot, directed by filmmaker Xiaolong Zheng. On Tuesday, May 29, Dylan tweeted about the new role, writing, “Proud to announce my participation in the huge Chinese fantasy romance movie, Turandot as Prince Calaf! Between losing 30lbs from combat training and speaking exclusively mandarin, this is a huge leap for me…” Sprouse followed up the announcement with a shirtless selfie on his Instagram Story, joking that “Turandot is also the reason I've become a gym f*kboi lately.” Deadline reported that in the movie, Princess Turandot, played by Chinese actress Guan Xiaotong, is cursed by a mysterious power radiating from three bracelets given to her as birthday presents. Gradually, the bracelets drain the princess's humanity, leaving her cold and cruel. Meanwhile, foreign princes try to free her from the curse by solving three riddles — one for each bracelet. Any wrong answer results in death. Calaf, played by Sprouse, is an ordinary citizen who falls in love with the princess and risks his life to save her. And in doing so, discovers “his own extraordinary past,” according to Deadline. If the plot of Turandot is giving you major Sword in the Stone vibes, not so fast. Written by Xiaoping Wang, the screenplay is actually an adaptation of Giacomo Puccini's iconic, three-act opera of the same name. |
