Director Roland Emmerich says he's finished with the 'Stargate' franchise
罗兰·艾默里奇导演说他已经完成了《星际之门》系列电影的拍摄
The latest blockbuster from the maestro of mayhem, Roland Emmerich, has finally arrived. Called "Moonfall," the film promises a cosmic catastrophe on a truly biblical scale. Turns out something has caused the moon to be knocked out of orbit and now it's on a direct collision course with Earth.
混乱大师罗兰·艾默里奇（Roland Emmerich）的最新大片终于来了。这部名为《月球陨落》的电影讲述了一场真正意义上的宇宙大灾难。某种东西导致了月球脱离轨道，使它正处于与地球直接碰撞的轨道上。
However, this is far from Emmerich's first rodeo; he's responsible for destroying our little blue-green planet many times in past films. In "2012" it was boiled by mutant neutrinos that melted the Earth's core; in "The Day After Tomorrow" it was plunged back into an ice age and in "Independence Day" it was almost annihilated by a hostile alien race called the Harvesters.
然而，这远远不是艾默里奇的第一次牛仔竞技；他在过去的电影中多次破坏了我们这个蓝绿色的小星球。在《2012》中，地球被突变中微子煮沸，融化了地核；在《后天》中，地球又重新回到了冰河时代；在《独立日》中，地球差点被一个叫做“收割机”的敌对外星种族消灭。
But back in 1994, science fiction history was made when Emmerich joined forces with writer Dean Devlin for only the second time (the first was "Universal Soldier") and together they gave the world "Stargate." At the time, no one could have possibly believed that this standalone movie, starring Kurt Russell, James Spader and Viveca Lindfors would spawn three amazing live-action spinoff shows spanning a total of 14 years. Plus two TV movies, a limited web series and a video game.
但早在1994年，当艾默里奇第二次与作家迪恩·德夫林（Dean Devlin）联手（第一次是《环球战士》）并共同创造了《星际之门》时，科幻小说的历史就被创造了。当时，没有人会相信这部由库尔特·拉塞尔、詹姆斯·斯派德和维维卡·林弗斯主演的独立电影会在总共14年的时间里衍生出三部精彩的实景剧集。再加上两部电视电影、一部限量版网络剧和一款电子游戏。

Tragically, the most recent TV show, the vastly underrated "Stargate Universe" was canceled after two seasons just as it was finding its feet in May 2011, and ever since then fans have wanted more from this franchise with so much to offer.
不幸的是，最近的一部电视剧《星际之门宇宙》在播出两季后被取消，它在2011年5月刚刚站稳脚跟，从那时起，粉丝们就希望从这部系列剧中获得更多。
During an exclusive interview with Space.com, we asked Emmerich what the chances were of restarting "Stargate" given how, finally, science fiction is such hot property; studios are falling over themselves to snap up an existing intellectual property. In fact, at the time of writing, IMDb has an announced "Stargate" project on Emmerich's profile page and it says, "Although, this is being developed as the first of a trilogy, it has been put on hold until the 'Independence Day' sequel has been completed in order that Roland Emmerich can direct the first of this new reboot."
在Space.com的独家采访中，我们问艾默里奇，鉴于科幻小说成为如此热门的产业，重启《星际之门》的机会有多大；制片公司正争先恐后地抢购现有的知识产权。事实上，就在报道撰写之时，IMDb公司已经在艾默里奇的个人资料页面上公布了一个“星际之门”的项目，上面写道：“虽然这是三部曲的第一部，但它已经被搁置直到《独立日》续集完成，以便罗兰·艾默里奇能够执导这部新电影的第一部。”

So, what's going on? There have been rumors swirling around the ether for eons now.
那么，到底是怎么回事？关于太空的谣言已经流传了好几个世纪了。
"Uh, it won't happen," Emmerich said of a "Stargate" reboot. "That won't happen because I thought that the people who watch the TV show are the main fans, and to make a movie after 25 years which has the same characters, it's not possible. Right? ... And so I decided not to do it, but I hope that somebody's redoing Stargate and starts a real series of movies.
艾默里奇在谈到《星际之门》重启时说：“这是不会发生的，因为我认为看这部电视剧的人都是主要的影迷，在25年后拍一部角色相同的电影是不可能的，对吧？所以我决定不拍了，但我希望有人会重拍《星际之门》，开始一部真正的系列电影。”
"It has to be somebody new and interesting. And I just don't want to go there anymore. It's like, because we had this idea, at one point to do it as a TV show, but it was way too expensive … You know, everything I do has to have a certain quality level. So, actually I said no to the TV show because it was like only $800,000 [per episode]. And I knew that at that time they were shooting, like, 'X-files' that spent like $1.6, $1.8 [million per episode] ... I knew I cannot do what I wanted to do with that."
“必须是一个新的，有趣的人。我只是不想再去那里了。就像是，因为我们曾经有过把它作成一个电视节目的想法，但是成本太高了……你知道，我做的每件事都必须保证一定的质量水平。所以，实际上我拒绝了这部电视剧，因为它每集只有80万美元。我知道当时他们在拍《X档案》，每集花了160或180万美元……我知道我不能用它来做我想做的事。”

While specifics on exactly how much an average episode of "Stargate: SG1" cost to make vary significantly from source to source, what's not in question is that the budget increased as the show steadily built up a massive fan base. That said, it's obviously still a very far cry from the reported $8 million or more it costs to make one episode of "Star Trek: Discovery" — and that equates to about $4 million back in 1995.
虽然《星际之门：SG1》一集的平均制作成本因源而异，但毋庸置疑的是，随着剧集逐渐建立起庞大的粉丝群，预算也在不断增加。尽管如此，与报道的《星际迷航：发现号》一集800万美元甚至更多的成本相比，这显然还是有很大的差距，这相当于1995年的400万美元。
Hollywood-based MGM Studios originally owned all the rights to the "Stargate" franchise, but in May of 2021 Amazon bought MGM Studios for $8.45 billion and consequently acquired the rights to more than 4,000 films and 17,000 TV shows, including "James Bond," "Rocky" and "RoboCop."
总部位于好莱坞的米高梅工作室最初拥有《星际之门》的所有版权，但在2021年5月，亚马逊以84.5亿美元收购了米高梅工作室，从而获得了包括《詹姆斯·邦德》、《洛奇》和《机械战警》在内的4000多部电影和1.7万部电视剧的版权。
"If they go back to a [Stargate] movie and a series of movies, yes, I will be involved. I have to be involved because it's in my contract," Emmerich says.
艾默里奇说：“如果他们回到一部[星际之门]电影或一系列电影，是的，我会参与其中。我必须参与其中，因为这是我的合同。”

"Stargate" holds a very special place in the hearts of so many sci-fi fans (this one included). The movie gave us the TV series that in turn gave us Teal'c, Rodney McKay, Martin Lloyd, Dr. Nicholas Rush and so many other amazing characters — and introduced the world to Jason Momoa. So, what future project is in the heart of Roland Emmerich..?
《星际之门》在众多科幻迷心中占有非常特殊的地位（包括这一部）。这部电影给了我们一部电视连续剧，而这部电视连续剧又给了我们蒂尔克、罗德尼·麦凯、马丁·劳埃德、尼古拉斯·拉什博士和其他许多令人惊叹的角色，并向世界介绍了杰森·莫莫。那么，罗兰·艾默里奇心中的未来计划是什么？
"Well, I would have loved to have made 'Dune' but they choose another director," he laughs. "And the only other science fiction novel I want to do is 'The Forever War.' "
他笑着说：“我本来很想拍《沙丘》的，但他们选择了另一个导演。我唯一想写的另一部科幻小说是《永世之战》。”
Emmerich tells us that he has a 10-episode TV project coming up and another on ancient Rome, but we very much hope he gets to take on "The Forever War" sometime in the not too distant future, and we also hope someone at Amazon Prime Video has the foresight to see the future of the "Stargate" franchise.
艾默里奇告诉我们，他即将推出一个10集的电视节目和另一个关于古罗马的节目，但我们非常希望他能在不久的将来接拍《永世之战》，我们也希望亚马逊Prime Video的人能预见《星际之门》系列的未来。
