卷福要演新劇了，這次演撒旦

It’s the Amazon Prime drama that Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman fans have been waiting for – Good Omens is finally here. 

泰瑞·普萊契和尼爾·蓋曼粉絲一直在等待的亞馬遜Prime劇集《好兆頭》終於來了。

But it may not be exactly as lovers of the novel remember it. 

但它可能和原小說粉絲記憶中的不太一樣。

Why? Because Neil Gaiman has admitted he’s made some tweaks, specifically to satan, the role played by Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch.

爲什麼？因爲尼爾·蓋曼已經承認他做了一些調整，特別是對撒旦這個角色，也就是《神探夏洛克》的卷福扮演的角色。

“It’s going to keep you watching and engaged, I hope, until the last seconds of Episode 6.” He added, his motivation was partly, “just the knowledge that so many millions of people have read the novel, that you want to surprise them — you don’t want them all just being cocky and going, ‘I know what’s going to happen all the way through.'”

“我希望，直到第6集的最後幾秒鐘，它都會讓你目不轉睛、心無旁騖。”他補充說，他的動機部分是“由於已經有百萬人讀過小說，所以我想要給他們個驚喜；你不希望他們都是一種'我知道將會發生什麼事情'的飄飄然的狀態。“

The news came in an interview Gaiman gave to Variety. He also spoke about he knew from the very start that the only person who could do the character of the devil justice was the BAFTA-winning actor.

這個消息來自《綜藝》對蓋曼的採訪。他還談到他從一開始就知道唯一可以真正扮演好撒旦一角的人，只能是這位獲得過英國電影學院獎的演員。

Benedict Cumberbatch will play Satan in #GoodOmens, coming later in 2019 to @BBCTwo. 

本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇將在《好兆頭》中扮演撒旦，這部劇將於2019年晚些時候在@BBCTwo播出。

“I started thinking, ‘Okay, who can I find? Who could give me this performance in a small enough space?’, Benedict was simply my first choice.”

“我一開始想，'好吧，我能找到誰？誰能在足夠小的空間裏給我這樣的表演？'，卷福就是我的第一選擇。“

So rather than going through agents, the writer dropped Cumberbatch an email, and the actor was soon on board. Gaiman knew he’d made the right decision when the actor came into the recording studio to voice the 500ft demon.

因此，作家不是通過經紀人，而是通過電子郵件聯繫了卷福，然後這位演員很快就入夥了。當他走進錄音室來錄製這個500英尺高的惡魔時，蓋曼知道他做出了正確的決定。
