Suraj Sharma is joining the starting lineup for Disney's baseball drama Million Dollar Arm, THR has confirmed.

The film, which stars Jon Hamm, will mark the actor's first major role since his Life of Pi turn.

苏瑞吉已经正式接下迪士尼的棒球电影《百万金臂》(Million Dollar Arm)，将与热门影集《广告狂人》(Mad Men)男主角乔汉姆(Jon Hamm)，一起合演这部真人真事改编的电影，这也是苏瑞吉被李安带进门后，正式演出好莱坞的第一部电影。

With a screenplay by Tom McCarthy, the story centers on J.B. Bernstein, a real-life sports agent who discovered professional pitchers Dinesh Patel and Rinku Singh through a reality show he staged in India by auditioning 40,000 cricket players.

《百万金臂》描述美国球探伯恩斯坦(J.B. Bernstein)，在印度制作了一档电视真人秀“百万金臂”，想从近四万人中发掘新兴棒球投手的故事。结果找到了2个前标枪选手，他们一个叫派泰尔(Dinesh Patel)，另一个叫辛恩(Rinku Singh)，在参加节目前，他们从没接触过棒球，结果经过训练之后，他俩最后真的被大联盟匹兹堡海盗队签下。

Sharma will play one of the pitchers. Alan Arkin is also onboard as a retired baseball scout.

目前只知道苏瑞吉将扮演这2个选手中的一个，但具体是谁还不清楚，至于乔汉姆则是扮演球探伯恩斯，此外还有老牌演员艾伦阿金(Alan Arkin)将出演另一名退休球探。电影预计今年五月在印度开拍。

对于苏瑞吉离开李安羽翼的第一部电影，影迷也不必太担心他会水土不服，因为不过一部《少年派》，他就在李安的调教下，勇夺日前举行极具民意《MTV电影奖》的“最惊死人表演奖”，以及拉斯维加斯电影节的“最佳新人”，更入围了英国奥斯卡新人奖。

 

1988年版经典影片《百万金臂》简介

A blend of comedy, drama and romance, Bull Durham follows the intertwining of three lives brought together by the great American pastime. Crash Davis (Kevin Costner, showcasing his Midwestern charm) is a perennial Minor Leaguer assigned to the Durham Bulls, a hapless team with a long tradition of mediocrity. There he tutors a young, dim-witted pitching prodigy, Nuke LaLoosh (Tim Robbins) in the ways of baseball, life, and love. Each strikes up a romance with Annie (Susan Sarandon), the team's "mascot" who takes it upon herself to sleep with a new player every season. Each has his/her own conflict: Crash struggles to end his career with some measure of dignity; Nuke struggles to make it to the "big show"; and Annie struggles to find something more than a roll in the hay -- and of course, Crash and Nuke come into conflict over Annie's affections to further complicate matters. The film treats the sport of baseball with a sort of casual reverence, highlighting both the drama and the humor inherent in the game, illustrated by Annie's numerous references to baseball as "her religion."

这是一部幽默风趣、半写实主义的影片。在所有描写棒球运动的体育片中，此片可谓是佼佼者。片中出色的比赛场面，足以令任何体育报道黯然失色。 凯文·柯斯特纳(Kevin Costner)扮演主人公克拉什(Crash)。他年届三十，只是一家小球队的投手。作为一名职业运动员，克拉什早已告别了棒球生涯的巅峰时代，之所以还在从事这项运动，完全是出于对它的热爱。因为对于他来说，棒球是生活的全部意义所在。纽克·拉卢什(Nuke Laloosh)(由蒂姆·罗宾斯Tim Robbins饰)的出现打破了他平静的生活。纽克是一名极具潜力的投手，但却有着诸多怪癖。每次上场，他都要穿着女友的内衣，否则就无法全力以赴地参加比赛。在克拉什的细心调教下，纽克的技术一天天地提高。可两人却同时爱上了一个热情奔放的姑娘。它也是个准棒球迷(由苏珊·萨兰登Susan Sarandon 饰)。
