Sigourney Weaver On "Alien 5" Possibilities
Sigourney Weaver談到續拍《異形5》可能性
1997's "Alien Resurrection" essentially closed out the "Alien" franchise
story wise, leaving various questions hanging in the air. Ridley Scott's
"Prometheus" answered (however vaguely) a few of those questions, as will its
upcoming sequel no doubt.
1997年上映的《異形4:浴火重生》基本上算是宣告異形系列電影的結束,但還是留下
一些無解的謎團,Ridley Scott的《普羅米修斯》解釋了部分的謎團(雖然還是很模糊),
但即將到來的續集毫無疑地會繼續解開這些謎團的。
Still, fans of the series have long been keen on a straight up fifth "Alien"
and Sigourney Weaver getting one last outing as Ellen Ripley. As time has
gone on though, that possibility has essentially gone from slim to none.
異形系列的粉絲仍在引頸期盼著能續拍《異形5》,他們也期待Sigourney Weaver能在
《異形5》繼續飾演Ellen Ripley這個角色,但隨著時間的推移,這種可能性基本上已經
變得渺茫了。
There's always hopeful optimism though, and Weaver herself appeared at the
Los Angeles Times Hero Complex Film Festival over the weekend where she said
she could also imagine a further sequel in the franchise being made:
但人生不是毫無希望的,Weaver在周末出席了「洛杉磯時代英雄電影節」時透露,
她可以想像《異形》系列的續集會誕生。
"I feel after going to a couple of these Comic Cons and meeting so many fans
who are so passionate about the series, passionate about Ripley — that
there's more story to tell; but I don't know how to do that.
「在參加過好幾場動漫展,和那些對《異形》系列和Ripley充滿熱情的粉絲見面後,
我覺得《異形》系列還有很多故事可以說,但我不知道該怎麼做」Weaver說。
I don't think Alien belongs on Earth popping out of a haystack, which is
where I was afraid it was going to go. I feel it should take place in the far
reaches of the universe where no one in their right mind would go.
「我不認為異形是從地球上的某一個草垛蹦出來的玩意兒,這是我所擔心的,我覺得異形
應該是要在人心無法所及的遙遠宇宙彼端誕生」Weaver說。
There are very few filmmakers that I can think of that I would want to
entrust this to. But I can think of a couple... I feel there's a longing in
certain groups of fans when I meet them for the story to be finished because
we really left it up in the air and I feel a bit badly about that because I
was part of that decision making process.
「我認為沒幾個電影製作人會讓我願意託付給他們拍攝續集,但我感覺到那些粉絲都希望
《異形》系列能續拍,因為我們擱置(續集)太久了,我感到有一點愧疚,因為我也是決策
過程中的一份子」Weaver說。
I didn't want to make four and five in a bundle. I think it's hard to make
these films all in a big lump. You need time to sort of let things resonate
so I can imagine a situation where we could at least finish telling her story.
I think that would be very satisfying at least to me — although I haven't
done anything about it; but I can understand why that could happen and I
certainly know young filmmakers who are interested in doing that. So we'll
just have to see what happens."
「我不想要第5集一定非得要和第4集有關聯,我覺得要把這些電影全部弄成一塊兒很困難
。你需要時間才能把這些東西弄得有條理,所以我想我們至少能完成Ripley的故事。
我覺得(完成Ripley的故事)至少我會很滿意的啦,雖然我目前什麼都還沒有做,但我覺得
遲早會拍續集的,當然我也知道有幾位年輕的電影製作人對拍《異形》續集很有興趣啦,
所以我們就看看接下來會發生什麼事吧」Weaver說。
Despite Weaver's desire, those in charge of the "Alien" franchise are more
interested in pursuing other directions such as the "Prometheus" sequel which
seems to be headed further away from its "Alien" connections.
儘管Weaver希望能續拍《異形5》,但電影公司似乎對其他口味的電影比較有興趣,像是
《普羅米修斯》續集似乎就擺脫了《異形》系列的連結了。
