如果你對2016年上映的電影感到失望的話，那么或許能在2017年得到些安慰。英國《衛報》評選出了2017年最令人激動的歷史題材電影。來看看有哪些電影讓你有所期待吧。

1. Battle of the Sexes
《性別之戰》

The husband-and-wife team behind Little Miss Sunshine tackle the 1977 gender war between Bobby Riggs, washed-up 55-year-old tennis pro, and Billie Jean King, the young ace (then No 2 in the world) he challenged to a match.
《陽光小美女》的夫妻檔幕后團隊將1977年鮑比?里格斯和比利?簡?金之間的性別大戰拍成了電影。55歲的里格斯是職業網球運動員，他向年輕的王牌選手簡?金（當時世界排名第二）發起挑戰賽，結果落敗。

2. Dunkirk
《敦刻爾克》

This means war: Christopher Nolan's second film not set in the present (or future) is an epic tableau about the rescue of hundreds of thousands of troops from the French coast. Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy and, er, Harry Styles, star. Think Saving Private Ryan, but saltier.
《敦刻爾克》是克里斯托佛?諾蘭第二部背景設定不在當代（或未來）的電影，這部戰爭片描繪了在敦刻爾克營救數十萬大軍的史詩般宏大場面。該片由湯姆?哈迪、馬克?里朗斯、肯尼斯?布萊納，斯里安?墨菲以及哈里?斯泰爾絲出演。想一想《拯救大兵瑞恩》，不過比這更刺激。

3. Flying Horse
《飛馬》

Gary Oldman's first film as director in 20 years, and only his second ever, is a biopic of the pioneering 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge, focusing on the affair between his wife, Flora, and Harry Larkyns, the theatre critic he kills. No casting confirmed, but Oldman had been chasing Ralph Fiennes and Benedict Cumberbatch. The man himself will play Muybridge's prosecutor.
《飛馬》是一部19世紀先驅攝影師埃德沃德?邁布里奇的傳記電影，該片是加里?奧德曼近20年來執導的首部電影，也是他人生中的第二部作品。影片聚焦于邁布里奇的妻子芙洛拉以及被他殺害的戲劇評論家哈利?拉金斯之間的緋聞。電影目前尚未確定出演陣容，但奧德曼一直在爭取拉爾夫?費因斯以及本尼迪克特?康伯巴奇。奧德曼本人將扮演邁布里奇的檢察官。

4. HHhH
《行動代號：猿人》

Remember Anthropoid? A rather overlooked drama from earlier this year, it starred Jamie Dornan and Cillian Murphy in the story of a failed assassination attempt on Hitler's third in command, SS General Reinhard Heydrich. Another crack at this story is being attempted with HHhH, this time round with Jacks Reynor and O'Connell as the plotting soldiers, plus Rosamund Pike and Mia Wasikowska as the objects of their affections, and Jason Clarke the target of their anger.
還記得《類人猿行動》嗎？這是一部被眾人忽略的2016年早些時候的電影，由杰米?多南和斯里安?墨菲擔任主演，講述了對希特勒身邊的三把手、黨衛隊將軍萊因哈德?海德里希進行的一次失敗暗殺。《行動代號：猿人》也嘗試講述這一故事，杰克?萊諾和奧康奈爾將在片中飾演密謀的士兵，而羅莎曼德?派克和米婭?華希科沃斯卡是他們片中的感情對象，杰森?克拉科則飾演他們的刺殺目標。

5. Sunset
《日落》

Frankly, this is unlikely to be ready in time for next year, but we'll include it just in case. The second film from Laszlo Nemes, who won the foreign language Oscar earlier this year for Son of Saul, is a coming-of-age drama set in Budapest just before the first world war.
坦白地說，這部電影2017年可能籌備不好，但是以防萬一我們還是把它歸進來。這是拉斯洛?奈邁施的第二部電影，2016年早些時候他憑借《索爾的兒子》摘得奧斯卡最佳外語片。《日落》是一部關于成長的電影，背景設定在一戰前夕的布達佩斯。

6. Untitled Detroit Riots film
關于底特律騷亂的未定名電影

Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal have been working for a while on a drama about the 1967 police raid in Detroit, which led to one of the largest citizen uprisings in US history. Kaitlyn Dever, John Krasinski, Will Poulter, John Boyega and Jack Reynor star.
凱瑟琳?畢格羅和編劇馬克?波爾已經為了這部電影籌備了一段時間，影片講述的是1967年發生在底特律的警方突襲行動，這次行動引發了美國歷史上規模最大的一場民眾暴動。出演該片的有凱特林?德弗、約翰?卡拉辛斯基、威爾?保爾特、約翰?波耶加以及杰克?萊諾。

7. Viceroy's House
《總督之房》

Gurinder Chadha goes colonial with a tale of the 1947 handover and its fallout, when Lord and Lady Mountbatten lived in a mansion also containing 500 Hindu, Muslim and Sikh servants. Hugh Bonneville and Gillian Anderson are our central couple.
顧倫德?查達哈的這部殖民題材電影講的是1947年的英印權力移交及其余波。當時蒙巴頓勛爵夫婦的府邸有500名仆人，他們中有印度教徒、穆斯林和錫克教徒。休?博內威利和吉莉安?安德森飾演主人公夫婦。

8. Victoria and Abdul
《維多利亞與阿卜杜勒》

The killer combo of Judi Dench and Stephen Frears team up again, four years on from Philomena, with a Lee Hall-scripted look at the friendship between Queen Vic and a young Indian clerk. Eddie Izzard looks like inspired casting as Bertie, the Prince of Wales; filling out the rest of the cast are Olivia Williams, Tim Pigott-Smith and, once again, Simon Callow and Michael Gambon.
繼《菲洛梅娜》后，朱迪?丹克和斯蒂芬?弗雷斯這對出色的組合四年后再度聯手。該片由李荷擔任編劇，講述了維多利亞女王與年輕印度男仆之間的友情。艾迪?伊扎德看來是官方授意的威爾士親王人選；演員陣容還包括奧莉維亞?威廉姆斯，蒂姆?皮戈特?史密斯以及同樣出演了《總督之房》的西蒙?卡洛和邁克爾?甘本。
