Earlier this month locals in Zagreb noticed something odd outside an art deco(装饰艺术风格) building. Sandbags and barricades appeared in front of the Esplanade hotel, along with a film crew and extras(群众演员) sporting(穿着,炫耀) Ukrainian military uniforms. Soon afterwards the actors Sean Penn and Adrien Brody were spotted(被看到,发现) on the set in the Croatian capital, together with Doug Liman, the Hollywood director of the Jason Bourne movies.
本月早些时候,萨格勒布的居民注意到一栋装饰艺术风格建筑外出现了异常情况。埃斯普拉纳德酒店前出现了沙袋和路障,还有一支摄制组和身着乌克兰军装的群众演员。不久之后,演员肖恩·潘和阿德里安·布罗迪被发现在克罗地亚首都的片场,同行的还有《谍影重重》系列的好莱坞导演道格·里曼。
Liman had come to shoot his latest fictional political thriller(惊悚片). Its subject: the 2022 Nord Stream explosions, in which a team of Ukrainian divers allegedly(据称,涉嫌) blew up a pipeline supplying Russian natural gas to Germany. One of the chief suspects, Volodymyr Zhuravlev, had twice eluded(逃避,躲避) the Germany authorities: once allegedly slipping out of Poland in the boot of(在后备箱里) a diplomatic car, and on another occasion freed by a court.
里曼来此拍摄他最新的虚构政治惊悚片。影片主题是2022年北溪爆炸事件,据称一群乌克兰潜水员炸毁了一条向德国供应俄罗斯天然气的管道。主要嫌疑人之一沃洛迪米尔·茹拉夫廖夫曾两次逃脱德国当局的追捕:一次据称藏在外交汽车的后备箱里溜出波兰,另一次则被法院释放。
On Wednesday, however, Zhuravlev’s luck ran out(耗尽,用完). He was detained(拘留,扣押) in the Croatian city of Pula – where, in an incredible meta-twist(元转折,超现实转折), German media said he had been acting as a consultant on Liman’s movie, Snake Island, which dramatically reconstructs(重现,重建) Zhuravlev’s alleged act of watery sabotage(破坏行为).
然而,周三,茹拉夫廖夫的好运到头了。他在克罗地亚城市普拉被拘留——德国媒体称,令人难以置信的是,他当时正在里曼的电影《蛇岛》中担任顾问,该片戏剧性地重现了茹拉夫廖夫涉嫌的水下破坏行为。
