加雷斯·埃文斯确认《突袭3》不会开拍

加雷斯·埃文斯拍摄的印尼电影《突袭》于2011年在加拿大多伦多电影节首映起就以与众不同的动作场面和效果带给了全球观众前所未有的观影体验。因其在全球电影市场的优异表现和火爆程度，三年后续集《突袭2：暴徒》（2014）应运而生（事实上《突袭2》的相关想法和剧情在《突袭》拍摄之前导演就已构思好）。若是您这几年一直在苦等第三集开拍，那我们必须要遗憾的告诉您，近日经过导演加雷斯·埃文斯确认，这部续集恐怕不会再有了。

“《突袭3》……也曾在我的计划当中，对此我有一个完整的想法，我也知道接下来的剧情该如何发展。不过考虑到现在已经过了很长时间了，我觉得我也不太可能回过头来重新梳理这个系列了。的确当时我们在一起拍电影的时候很快乐，但我觉得《突袭2》已经给这个系列一个相对自然的不错的结局了。我觉得这样结束也不错。”

最近加雷斯的《使徒》在奥斯汀奇幻电影节举行了全球首映，我（笔者ERIC EISENBERG）也在今天早些时候得到了和他面对面访谈的机会。在采访的最后我问了他关于《突袭3》进度的问题。在采访中我得知他最近要开发自己的第一套电视剧（指伊科·乌艾斯主演的网飞新剧《吴门刺客》），随后我问他续集是否在他的制作范围之列。他告诉我说，《突袭3》确实在之前运作了一段时间，然而最后未能成行，他也将注意力转移到了别的项目中。

《突袭》基于加雷斯·埃文斯的原创剧本拍摄，讲述由印尼演员伊科·乌艾斯饰演的主角拉玛（Rama）奉命随同特种部队进入一栋由一群极其危险的黑帮和毒贩把持的大楼执行任务。续集任务的范围和难度得到扩展，拉玛为扫除警局内部的腐败分子成为了黑帮卧底。两部电影上映之后都因其动作和暴力场面在影评人和观众那里得到了极高的评价，并且人气居高不下，持续发酵，甚至也在后来得到了好莱坞的注意。好莱坞制片人计划翻拍这部电影（计划初期考虑请克里斯·海姆斯沃斯和利亚姆·海姆斯沃斯两兄弟出演，目前人选已经转移到了弗兰克·格里罗身上）。翻拍项目和《突袭3》是同期提出，但却久久没有下文。目前看来《突袭3》也恐怕会面临同样的命运。

不过加雷斯·埃文斯最近也没有闲着，除了刚公映不久的《使徒》，他正在忙于新项目的开发。10月26日观众就可以看到由他导演，丹·史蒂文斯（《唐顿庄园》《不速之客》）主演的惊悚片《使徒》。（DC也考虑请他担任丧钟独立电影的导演，而他很久之前就已经提到过的警匪动作片《Blister（水疱）》也在制作范围之内）

（三年前加雷斯就说过要至少等到2018年或2019年才能实现《突袭3》的拍摄，如今既然是这样一个结果，那我也只能希望他在将来再“说话不算话”一次把这个系列完成吧……）

（最近大家可以期待一下乔·塔斯利姆和伊科·乌艾斯合作的动作惊悚片《嗜人之夜》（The Night Comes for Us），姑且拿这部电影安慰一下自己吧……）

In 2011, film-goers worldwide got their ass-kicked by the cinematic experience that was writer/director Gareth Evans' The Raid. Made in Indonesia, the film features some of the action sequences we've ever seen, and its massive popularity wound up inspiring a sequel, The Raid 2, three years later. If you've spent the last few years waiting for a trilogy capper, however, prepare to be disappointed, as Evans has confirmed that The Raid 3 isn't going to happen:

The Raid 3 was... at one point it was on my radar. I had a full idea. I know what the storyline would have been. But I think enough time has passed now that I think I'm not likely to go back and revisit it. We had a lot of fun making those films, and I think we came to a nice, sort of natural conclusion with [The Raid 2]. And I think sometimes you can have a little bit too much of a good thing.

With his new film, Apostle, having its world premiere last night at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, I had the chance to sit down with Gareth Evans earlier today, and it was at the very end of the interview that I asked for an update on The Raid 3. Knowing that he is currently in the process of developing his first television show, I asked if the sequel was something that was on his radar, and he explained that while the project was in development for a while, it's time has no passed and he's moved on to other things.

Based on an original screenplay by Gareth Evans, the first The Raid starred Iko Uwais as Rama - a member of an elite S.W.A.T. team assigned a mission to take down a tenement controlled by a violent and dangerous mobster. The sequel, in turn, saw that mission expand, as Rama goes undercover in an attempt to root out corruption within his department. Both films earned glowing reviews from professional critics and audience, most of the excitement generated because of the films' remarkable fight scenes, and even for a time Hollywood considered an English-language remake. That project never came together, however, and now it looks like The Raid 3 is going to share a similar fate.

Gareth Evans is definitely staying busy, though, and is also experimenting in new genres. You'll be able to see his new horror feature in just a few weeks, as Apostle -- which stars Dan Stevens, Michael Sheen, and Lucy Boynton -- will be arriving on Netflix on October 12th. Between now and then, be sure to stay tuned here on CinemaBlend for more about the film as well as more from my interview with the writer/director!
