独家：蜘蛛侠之父和他的超级英雄们

    去年秋天，李在印度卡通电视网(Cartoon Network)推出了自己的第一个印度超级英雄作品《无敌的脉轮》(Chakra: The Invincible)，同时还发行了同名漫画书。这个故事讲述了14岁的孟买少年拉朱•拉伊使用一种能够解开人体生命力中心（即印度教所称的脉轮）的特殊服装，对抗犯罪暴行的经历。钱皮恩透露称，这个人物形象正在被拍摄成一部标准长度的电影。他们还计划打造一个以拉朱•拉伊为中心的国际体系，其中包括一本美国漫画书。

    此外还有一位拉丁超级英雄，但李目前还不愿意透露他的名字。

    “我们正尝试着证明，我们不抱有特别的偏见，”李说。“我们希望每个人都能够分享Pow娱乐公司带来的惊奇，所以我们也正在打造一位拉丁超级英雄，这让我们感到非常兴奋。我现在刚刚开始为这部电影写提纲。随着时间的推移，大家会听到更多关于它的消息。我们希望我们的作品能够代表每一个国家，每一种文化，世界的每一个地区。我们可不希望有人朝我们发火。”

    但李并没有冷落他的美国粉丝。李计划根据漫画书《斯坦•李的7位超级英雄》(Stan Lee's Mighty 7 )拍摄三部动画电影，其中第一部已于本月在Hub Network频道首映。在这部基于印刷和数字漫画书系列的电影中，斯坦•李（由他本人饰演）一边指导两组外星人如何成为超级英雄，一边撰写一部描写其壮举的漫画书。李为他在影片的角色配音，其他配音演员包括肖恩•阿斯廷（能量小子）、马伊姆•拜力克（闪电女）、达伦•克里斯（米克罗）、艾米•汉莫（铁腕）、泰瑞•海切尔（银云雀）和克里斯汀•史莱特（拉泽主）。

    “我们还有两部动画电影将在Hub Network频道播映，然后我们希望拍摄一部真人电影，一部电视剧，发行几部漫画作品，”李说。“无论我们什么时候做这些事情，我们都希望有一个好的开始。我们总是想象它将成为一部好电影，一部好电视剧，它会带动一些好的衍生商品，比如玩具和视频游戏等等。所有这一切努力都是为了创造下一个蜘蛛侠。这是我们的终极目标。”

    百老汇音乐剧《蜘蛛侠：关闭黑暗》(Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark )现已正式结束，李的注意力转移到了正在中国澳门演出的摇滚歌剧《阴阳：道之战》( Yin Yang: The Battle of Tao)身上。这个以超级英雄对抗超级坏蛋为主题的故事把中国神话与原创配乐和大量动作交织在了一起。

    李说：“我喜欢音乐。”他随即主动哼了一首曲子。“通过音乐和尽可能达到3D水准的动作，我们可以让人物形象更加饱满，更加栩栩如生。真是美妙极了。虽然电影的背景音乐极其重要，但制作一台百老汇歌剧，让音乐成为故事的有机组成部分，则是一件更加激动人心的事情。”（财富中文网）

    Lee launched his first Indian superhero, Chakra: The Invincible," last fall on India's Cartoon Network alongside a comic book. The story focuses on 14-year-old Raju Rai in Mumbai, who fights crime using a special suit that unlocks centers of life-force in his body (known as chakras in Hinduism). Champion said the character is being developed for a full-length motion picture with plans to build out an international universe around him, including a U.S. comic book.

    And there's a Latin superhero, whose name is currently being kept under wraps by Lee.

    "We're trying to show no particular prejudice," said Lee. "We want everybody to share in the wonderment of what Pow Entertainment can do, so we're also working on a Latin superhero and we're very excited about that. I'm just writing the outline for the movie now. You'll hear more about it as time goes by. We want to make sure that every country, every culture, every part of the world is represented. We don't want anybody to be mad at Pow."

    But Lee isn't ignoring his American fans. The first of three planned animated movies based on Stan Lee's Mighty 7 premiered this month on the Hub Network. Based on the print and digital comic book series, the premise finds Lee starring as himself in a story that has him mentoring two groups of aliens to become superheroes, while writing a comic book about their exploits. Lee voiced his character in the film, alongside actors like Sean Astin (Kid Kinergy), Mayim Bialik (Lady Lightning), Darren Criss (Micro), Armie Hammer (Strong Arm), Teri Hatcher (Silver Skylark) and Christian Slater (Lazer Lord).

    "We have two more animated movies that are going to appear on the Hub Network, and then we hope to eventually have a live-action film, a TV series, and comics," said Lee. "Whenever we do anything and it's off to a good start, we always imagine this would make a good movie, a good TV series, there'll be some great toys and video games coming out of it, merchandizing. The whole trick is to try to make something that would be the next Spider-Man. And that's a hell of a great goal to shoot for."

    With Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark now officially closed on Broadway, Lee has his sights set on a superhero vs. super-villain rock opera with Yin Yang: The Battle of Tao in Macau, China. The story interweaves mythological Chinese storytelling with an original score and plenty of action.

    "I love music," said Lee, who offered to hum a tune. "Any way we can bring characters to life with music, with action as close to 3-D as possible; makes them seem alive. That's wonderful. Even the background music in the movies is so important, but to do a Broadway quality show where the music is part of the story, that's exciting."
