斯派克·李将为百老汇舞台剧《大卫·伯恩的美国乌托邦》执导电影版。该剧目已在去年10月开演，持续到今年2月16日。电影版计划于今年上映。

本片以主人公大卫·布莱恩架车游历美国得克萨斯州过程中所见所闻为主线，透过一个个具有鲜明个性的小人物及发生在他们身上的故事，展示了当地人对于生活和爱情的独特理解。该片值得称道的是将歌舞与写实完美结合，大量旋律优美的乡村民谣,歌曲成为片中最耀眼的亮点，也是导演大卫·布莱恩对电影艺术的创新之举，是一次成功的探索。

Here Lies Love is a groundbreaking musical about former Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos’ astonishing rise to power and subsequent fall at the hands of the Philippine People Power Revolution. From David Byrne (Academy Award, Grammy Award, and Tony Award winner) and Fatboy Slim (Grammy Award winner), Here Lies Love has been called “Ingenious” by The New York Times and “an ecstatic and dynamic party” by Time Out New York. Choreographed by Annie-B Parson (Olivier Award nominee) and developed and directed by Alex Timbers (Tony Award winner), the theater is transformed into a dance club where the audience is immersed in the story.

DAVID BYRNE’S AMERICAN UTOPIA delivers “an experience unlike anything else” (Billboard) and marks a major cultural milestone in the worlds of music and theater. Innovative pop/rock icon David Byrne (Talking Heads, Here Lies Love) shares the spotlight with a diverse ensemble of 11 musical artists from around the globe.

With staging and choreography by Annie-B Parson, and with Alex Timbers serving as production consultant (his collaborators on Here Lies Love), David Byrne and ensemble deliver “a marvel of staging and motion” (Chicago Tribune) that’s as surprisingly poignant as it is supremely funky. Don’t miss this “thought-provoking example of the power of live music” (Forbes).
