当欣赏StarZ频道明年春季的新剧《斯巴达克斯:血与沙的传说》(Spartacus: Blood and Sand)时,你很难不想起电影《角斗士》(Gladiator)和《斯巴达300勇士》(300)。事实上,该剧将有厚重的「剑、魔法与动作」味道,这与他们的「血统」是分不开的--创作该剧的Sam Raimi和Rob Tapert是魔幻与奇幻领域的一对黄金搭档,他们创作的《武神传说》(Hercules: The Legendary Journeys)、《武神公主西娜》 (Xena: Warrior Princess)一直为人们津津乐道。去年他们再度出山打造的《探索者传说》(Legend Of The Seeker)虽然赶不上前辈的辉煌,但也得到了不少人的认可。毫无疑问,时代在变,观念在变,观众的口味也在变--《斯巴达克斯:血与沙的传说》没有《武神传说》的轻松,也没有《武神公主西娜》的幽默,有的只是惊险、刺激、飞溅的鲜血。在该剧的前三集中,故事情节退居其次,大量的格斗场面成为最主要的看点,其中又以发生在角斗场中的一对一角斗居多。该剧在拍摄手法上存在大量《斯巴达300勇士》的影子--纯色的画面,慢动作镜头、混乱的打斗场面和绿幕技术的运用。《血与沙的传说》还充分利用了收费有线电视网不受任何约束的「特权」,脏话、粗话非凡多,比以脏话闻名的电视剧集《死木》(Deadwood)还要「脏」。斯巴达克斯将率领古罗马的奴隶起义,他的起义大军差点埋葬了整个罗马帝国,这是斯巴达克斯传说中的核心情节。《斯巴达克斯:血与沙的传说》无论怎么变化,都不会改变故事根基。这些或许不会在第一季中出现,但终究是要出现的。换句话说,我们完全可以预料到斯巴达克斯的命运,以及本剧的最终结局。
