The announcement came this week that George Lucas, who directed Apocalypse Now (1970) and American Graffiti (1973), but who never realised his one-time dream of a sequence of science fiction fantasies titled Star Wars, has sold his company Lucasfilm to Disney for $4.05m?.?.?.?
导演乔治·卢卡斯(George Lucas)近日发表声明称,将自己的公司卢卡斯影业(Lucasfilm)以405万美元的价格出售给迪斯尼(Disney)。卢卡斯曾执导过电影《现代启示录》(Apocalypse Now, 1970)和《美国风情画》(American Graffiti, 1973),但他未能实现自己曾经有过的拍摄《星球大战》(Star Wars)系列科幻电影的梦想...
Cut!
让我们就此打祝
Movie history could be so different. It didn’t happen this way, yet so nearly did. The richest film-maker on the planet (his Forbes-estimated fortune is $3.2bn, with half of that pledged as a future gift to charity) never made Apocalypse Now, though he set out to direct it as a documentary-styled feature in 1970, during the Vietnam war and nine years before Francis Ford Coppola. He did make American Graffiti, his calling-card critical and popular hit. And goodness knows he made, and made history with, the Star Wars saga. This week Mr Lucas sold his company to Disney for – smoke-ring three additional zeros – $4.05bn.
电影史本可以如此不同。事情最终并未如此发展,虽然近乎快要走上了这条路。作为全球最富有的电影制片人(据《福布斯》杂志估算,卢卡斯的财产总额高达32亿美元,他宣布未来将把半数财产捐献给慈善事业),卢卡斯从未执导过《现代启示录》,虽然他于1970年开始筹备采用纪录片的风格导演这部影片。当时越战仍未结束,距离弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉(Francis Ford Coppola)开拍这部影片尚有九年。卢卡斯的确执导了《美国风情画》,这是他重要而又广受欢迎的一部代表作。但真正使卢卡斯影史留名的是他所执导的《星球大战》系列传奇。卢卡斯将自己的公司转让给迪斯尼的售价是上文中405万美元的1000倍——40.5亿美元。
