Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
《神奇動物：鄧布利多之謎》
In the third of five planned Fantastic Beasts films, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) and Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) clash with the dark forces of Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen, taking over from Johnny Depp) in the 1930s. The previous instalment, The Crimes of Grindelwald, was the most over-complicated and underwhelming of the films set in JK Rowling's Wizarding World, but Steve Kloves, who wrote the Harry Potter scripts, has joined Rowling as co-screenwriter this time, and several scenes are set at Hogwarts, so maybe they can conjure up some of the old magic. They could even answer the series' most pressing question: when did Dumbledore swap the three-piece suits he wears in Fantastic Beasts for the floor-length robes he wears in Harry Potter?
在《神奇動物》電影系列（共五部）的第三部中，阿不思·鄧布利多（裘德·洛飾演）和紐特·斯卡曼德（埃迪·雷德梅恩飾演）在上世紀30年代和蓋勒特·格林德沃（麥斯·米科爾森飾演，替換掉了約翰尼·德普）的黑暗勢力正面交鋒。上一部《神奇動物：格林德沃之罪》是J·K·羅琳魔法世界中最複雜但也最令人失望的一部電影。但是曾擔任《哈利波特》編劇的史蒂夫·克洛夫斯這次將和羅琳一起撰寫劇本，而且好幾個場景都在霍格沃茨城堡，所以或許這部電影能重現一些昔日的魔法，甚至可能會回答這一系列電影最迫切的問題：鄧布利多是何時脫下《神奇動物》中穿的三件套西服，改穿《哈里波特》中穿的拖地長袍的？
Released on 8 April in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and 15 April in the US and Canada
該片將於4月8日在英國、澳大利亞和紐西蘭上映，4月15日在美國和加拿大上映。

Petite Maman
《小媽媽》
The heroine of Petite Maman is eight-year-old Nelly (Joséphine Sanz). After her grandmother's death, Nelly plays in the woods near her mother's childhood home, and meets Marion (Gabrielle Sanz, Joséphine's twin), a girl of her own age and with remarkably similar features. The pair play together every day, fast becoming close friends. Mark Kermode wrote in The Observer: 'Whether you are six or 60, this astonishingly insightful and heartbreakingly hopeful cinematic poem will pierce your heart, broaden your mind and gladden your soul, even as you wipe away tears.' And all in just 72 minutes.
《小媽媽》的女主角是8歲的內麗（約瑟芬·桑茲飾演）。在她的外婆去世後，內麗在她媽媽童年舊居附近的森林裡玩耍，結識了和她容貌酷似的同齡女孩瑪麗昂（約瑟芬的雙胞胎姐妹加布里埃爾·桑茲飾演）。兩個人天天一起玩，很快就成了好朋友。馬克·克莫德在《觀察家報》中寫道：「無論你是6歲還是60歲，這部極具洞察力、令人心碎又讓人充滿希望的詩歌般的電影會穿透你的心靈、開闊你的心胸，讓你即使流著淚也會從靈魂深處感到喜悅。」所有這一切都濃縮在72分鐘的電影中。
Released on 22 April in the US

Downton Abbey: A New Era
《唐頓莊園2》
BBC Culture's Caryn James enjoyed the 'elegance and glittering production values' of the first Downton Abbey film, which was released in 2019. The sequel, once again scripted by Julian Fellowes, promises to be even more sumptuous and enticing. In a storyline, the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) reveals that she has inherited a villa in the south of France, so the family heads down to the Riviera to investigate. Don't expect any hard-hitting social commentary, but do expect lashings of 'glamour, manners and wealth'.
BBC文化頻道的卡琳·詹姆斯很喜歡2019年上映的第一部《唐頓莊園》，認為這部電影「很優雅、製作水準也很高」。續集再次由朱利安·費羅斯編寫劇本，據稱比第一部還要華麗還要誘人。在其中一條故事線中，老伯爵夫人（瑪吉·史密斯飾演）透露她在法國南部繼承了一座莊園，於是這家人南下去里維埃拉考察。不要指望社會評論會掀起軒然大波，但是一定要準備好接受「奢華、禮節和財富」的多重洗禮。
Released on 29 April in the UK and Ireland and 20 May in the US and Canada
該片將於4月29日在英國和愛爾蘭上映，5月20日在美國和加拿大上映。

Operation Mincemeat
《絞肉行動》
In 1943, as British forces were preparing to invade Sicily, a group of intelligence officers formulated an elaborate scheme to throw the enemy off the scent. This stranger-than-fiction film tells the story of the officers who drew up a set of fake plans for an invasion of Greece, planted the plans on a corpse dressed in a Royal Marines uniform, and then dumped the corpse off the coast of Spain, in the hope that it would eventually fall into German hands. If that sounds like the plot of a far-fetched espionage novel rather than a real-life story, it could be because one of the officers behind the ruse was Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming, later the author of the James Bond novels. In Operation Mincemeat, Fleming is played by Johnny Flynn, alongside Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald, Penelope Wilton and Jason Isaacs.
1943年，英國軍隊準備進攻西西里島，一隊情報人員制定了一個詳盡的方案來誤導敵人。這部比小說還離奇的電影講述了這幾名官員為了進攻希臘制定了一套偽計劃，並將這些計劃放在一具穿了英國皇家海軍陸戰隊制服的屍體上，然後將屍體丟在西班牙海岸附近，寄希望於這具屍體落入德軍手中。如果這聽起來像是一個牽強的間諜小說而不像一個真實故事，這可能是因為制定策略的其中一名官員是伊恩·弗萊明少校，這個人後來創作了詹姆斯·邦德系列小說。在《絞肉行動》中，弗萊明由強尼·弗林飾演，出演該片的還有科林·費爾斯、馬修·麥克費登、凱莉·麥克唐納、佩內洛普·威爾頓和詹森·艾薩克。
Released on 15 April in the UK and Ireland, 27 April in France and 11 May in the US
該片將於4月15日在英國和愛爾蘭上映，4月27日在法國上映，5月11日在美國上映。
